BZ Grill

Their food is amazing! Their chicken souvlaki is so juicy and tasty! I typically get their gyros with fries, but sometimes I'll get their platters! I love their Greek fries too. Fair price for the flavor too! I love dining in and sitting outside!

Tried this place 2 days in a row. First day, we tried the platter for 2 people, came with pork & chicken gyro and sausage/burger version with rice and it was good. Portions can be better though. Second day, tried the Chicken gyro sandwich and they added fries. Looked pretty huge but surprisingly light and delicious! Not a pretty long wait for orders to go since they make it fresh upon ordering, the staff always greets you and have been nice and friendly!

I stopped by BZ Grill in Astoria for a quick lunch and left seriously impressed. The owner, Margarita, is a super nice, hardworking lady who clearly takes pride in her food — everything is made fresh and with care. I ordered the Bifteki Sandwich Lunch Special, which comes with fries. The bifteki (a seasoned Greek-style all-beef patty) was packed with flavor — juicy, perfectly grilled over charcoal, and I could taste a hint of cumin and other warm spices. Easily a 9/10. I also tried the kebab— a delicious mix of ground beef and lamb with Middle Eastern spices. It was tender and flavorful — a solid 8.5/10. Overall, BZ Grill is a must-try for Greek street food lovers. Great flavors, generous hospitality, and a clean, welcoming vibe. I’ll definitely be back!

I’ve been a repeat customer here for the past 6 years even used to drive from Long Island just to get their food. Not sure what has happened but I got 1 gyro, 1 souvlaki platter, and 1 order of Greek fries for take out and it was $50 and took 30 minutes. After we ordered and paid, a group of the guy behind the grills friends came in and he decided to make all of their food and bring it to them first after we already paid and were waiting for a while. Food finally comes out after we asked them what is taking so long and the fries are so burnt they aren’t even edible. Not sure what changed but I will not be coming back, very sad.

Don’t come here if you are hungry, the food is tiny size with full size prices, $12 dollars for a pork sandwich which is the size of a Taco Bell crunch taco. The place was good before they started to make the food kids size. I wouldn’t recommend this place unless is during lunch special hours and you are not hungry. Actual size of sandwich is smaller than a can of Pepsi.

The Greek Gods have gifted Astoria with one of the best chicken gyros ever!! I LOVED IT!!! BZ Grill is my Greek heaven!!!

$14 for a chicken gyro. Tasted like overcooked/rubbery rotisserie chicken. No flavor other than the sauce. Better off going to a halal truck.

Chicken and pork had no flavour and was very dry and overcooked. One of the worst meals I've had this year :(

Serafim, the mad scientist-esque founder/owner sold BZ Grill to Margarita. And just when you think that this place couldn't get any better, it did! If you like Yeeero/gyro/doner then this is the place for you. Two types are offered: pork and chicken. I had the sandwich made even more special by the fact that BZ uses pita by Mediterranean Pita, otherwise known as the best commercially baked pita. I also ordered the pork platter to go and someone back at the apartamento will most certainly be hangry. Feeling a bit drowsy, I ordered a Turkish/Greek coffee to stay. You know the type with all the residue at the bottom. My relatives back in the motherland would seize the opportunity to flip the cup and read the coffee grinds that were slowly creeping down the cup's interior. Young women's' grind readings would inevitably go like this: [spoken by the coffee grind reader while staring intensely at the grids] "you will love a long time, see this is your lifeline and it's long [pointing to so random line between the grinds]. You will also go on a long trip and meet a tall, dark and handsome man who will sweep you off your feet...". You get the drift. Anywho, I noticed that they also had Ekmek Kataif for dessert and so was all over that like the coffee grinds to the inside of the dainty coffee cup." What a delightful calorie laden lunch! So kudos to Margarita! The King is metaphorically dead, long live the Queen!

We love this place. Delicious, fresh, healthy food and the people who run it are lovely. My favorite falafel ever? Quite possibly.

Super clean restaurant with delicious Greek food. The service both take out and dine is excellent.

RUN DONT WALK to this casual Greek joint in Astoria! Finally a dine in and takeout place with reasonable prices and deals. $13.50 lunch special, sandwich fries and soda, spans FIVE HOURS (11-4). Very very delicious food. Even though it's primarily takeout, we recieved good service. 6 tables inside and outdoor seating available, too. They have a wine and beer selection, as well. Under $30 for two people! Four stars because it's not ~aesthetic~ inside, but that is not an issue. Also, bathroom for patrons.

This place is super bad. Worst dry gyro that I ever eat. Chicken was dry and have old taste, no sauce and small amount of vegetables. Greek fries was burned. We didn't even finish gyros and went to king souvlaki truck. Big difference in quality.

Best Gyro in NYC! They're so clean and the food is great quality and you can tell they do it with care!

By far, for me, the best griiled meat eatery in Astoria. Gyro tender platter is a favorite. Its so fresh and delectable. A full meal. The ambiance of this eatery is modern, clean and bright. Service is top notch. Price is right. Its simply the best!! The only thing hard to find here is parking. Street parking is tough but park a bit far and walk.

The most succulent gyro meat I've ever sank my teeth into, I was floored! I typically don't get chicken gyros bc I find them to be sack-religious but let me tell you, I've been dreaming about my return to this place ever since. Kicking off 2024 with my favorite food!!!! Happy New Year, BZ Grill! So far I've tried: Lamb gyro Chicken gyro Chicken souvlaki gyro You can't go wrong with this spot. Also, there's something to be said about the way they cut their meat!

Went for lunch with the fam today. Pork gyros all the way around. Falafel appetizer. Everything super fast n fresh. Place always hits the spot.

I've heard wonderful things about BZ Grill but sadly they weren't very gluten-free friendly. I visited BZ Grill last weekend with a group of friends. Usually greek food has many gluten free options and my friends were looking for gyros so BK's seemed like the perfect place. After we were seated and reviewed the menu our server came to take our orders. Originally I wanted the falafel platter and asked if the falafel was gluten free and the server said "no". So I pivoted and ordered the veggie platter which was on the menu and listed a variety of veggies and rice. When my platter arrived it included all the veggies plus the falaflel (not gf) and 4 pieces of pita (not gf). These gluten items were not listed out on the menu and I was surprised the server did not mention those items when I ordered given that I had just asked if the flafel contained gluten and then changed my order from the falafel plate. I picked off the non gluten free items and gave them to my friends to enjoy. While this worked for me, it would not have worked for someone with celiac disease. Other than the gluten mishap, the portions were large and I had enough to take home for lunch the next day. The veggies on my platter were delicious but I was skeptical of other items being gluten free so I didn't enjoy a couple of the sauces that came on the side which likely would have enhanced the dish. The restaurant itself was clean and all the other patrons seemed to be enjoying the atmosphere and food. Definitely give it a try if you're in Astoria, looking for Greek food and not gluten-free.

I ordered the chicken gyro lunch special and was absolutely delighted. The vegetables were incredibly fresh, and the chicken was succulent and flavorful. The portions were generous, with excellent value for the price ($16). From the moment I walked in, the staff was exceptionally polite and courteous. Only a few people were there during lunch time. Highly recommended!

honestly has the best gyro in nyc and I'm so happy to have finally tried this place I got the chicken platter bc I had heard so much about the gyro fries and I wanted a little taste of everything and it didn't disappoint. I def have leftovers to bring to work tom also - the service was speedy and polite and the food was absolutely amazing and I love the feta and tzatziki that came on the side

I didn't pay close attention to the menu description when i ordered the greek salad and thought i would get lettuce with it but the meal was still very yummy! Lots of flavor in the salad and the chicken. I didn't need any tzatziki or dipping sauce for the chicken. Very happy with this lunch spot!

They food is amazing and super fresh! Order from here almost every week. The pork platter is my sons favorite, I perfer the chicken! Take out is just fast enough. Like I said super fresh means the cook when ordered, not sitting around!

Excellent Greek fare with the freshest ingredients. Love their lunch specials with fries and a drink.

This is a great place to go for a Greek chicken or pork gyro in Astoria, Queens which is a NYC neighborhood well known for its Greek food and heritage. Both are delicious but I recommend eating the pork gyro right away while it's piping hot for best results as the longer it cools the more it loses its flavor I've found, while the chicken maintains its flavor significantly longer if you are getting takeout and some time will pass between receiving your food and actually eating it. They are always pretty fast and efficient with getting your order out to you and they have tables you can sit at if you want to stay and eat or their gyros are also a great food to take and eat on the go. I appreciate this place for being an inexpensive option for great quality Greek food. Service is always friendly. Will definitely continue to come here for a delicious Greek gyro fix when I'm nearby.

Came here like 7 years ago and really enjoyed my pork gyro. Fast forward, I find myself visiting here again now that I'm in the neighborhood. I ordered the chicken gyro with fries and it was also delicious. The sauce is everything. Place is pretty spacious inside and very clean. Service was decent.

One of the legendary spots of NYC. This place is ranks as a lot of the proverbial bests in the city in my book. The Pork Gyro alone in my humble opinion rates, until I am proven otherwise as not only the best gyro in the city, but possibly the best pork dish of any genre, and one of the cities definitive best dishes period. Porky goodness with the mind blowing texture striking the perfect balance between crisp bacon and juicy roast pork, I always go big with the platter as opposed to a sandwich, which is served alongside a massive for NYC portion of crispy fries or perfectly prepared rice along with a classic and reliably fresh and crisp salad alongside a classic and perfect Greek tzatziki sauce and a corresponding mound of deliciously pungent feta and pillowy pitas for you to assemble bitesize little sandwiches with as you see fit. Just behind that in terms of delicious greatness and almost as transcendent is the chicken gyro, which achieves a similarly mind bending texture and taste despite the fact that its made with the relatively leaner and healthier protein. The feta on that platter is swiped out for a delicious house sauce that isn't altogether different from fast-food burger sauce. One of these days I need to get around to trying the Bifteki, souvlaki, Seftalia and other traditional Greek delights but as of this drafting I've never been able to help myself from defaulting to one of those 2 legitimetly legendary gyros. There's a lot of great Greek food in Astoria but this, charming, well-kept and cozy, simple little borderline hole-in-the-wall, on a grittier more peripheral corner of the hood hits the spot for me like no other. The staff is across lovely and you can grab a cheap and tasty and authentic house Greek wine or Greek beer to wash down the likewise inflation-friendly priced food. Again, even if not for all that and just on the strength of that heavenly Pork Gyro alone, this place is to me nothing one of the iconic restaurants of NYC and in a more just world would be as venerated and exalted as much as Katz's Deli or John's of Bleecker Street, DiFara, etc as a truly undisputed NYC Icon.

Been coming here for a while now. Great location right by the NW train off of Astoria Blvd. The establishment is clean and the staff here are very friendly. Can't go wrong ordering a gyro from here or anything else. Haven't tried the falafel yet but I highly recommend giving BZ a try.

Ordered: Lunch Special (~$10): chicken gyro with fries and soda Aya's take: I mean can you really beat this? Gyro, fries, AND soda for $10? Come on now. You can get this from M-F 11am-4pm during their Lunch Special, and it is so worth it. The gyro is huge and loaded with fresh chicken gyro meat, lettuce, tomato, onions, and tzatziki sauce. The side of fries are beyond crispy, fresh, and addicting. You can't have a good meal without a drink, so the soda was a great way to tie the whole meal together. The chicken had a nice mixed of moistness and crispy parts. The tzatziki was fresh and they don't skimp out on what they give you. Delicious and affordable option for lunch! You can't go wrong.

I don't know why people are giving this place great reviews. Not true at all. Someone, recommend me. This is just a waste of money. Please go to the food truck on 31Ave and 31 st. Went there for the first time. Literally the gyro had about 2 -3 Ozs of me and some salad in a pita bread with some fries for almost $15. Please save your money.

Best chicken gyro I've ever had, friendly customer service, can't wait to go back. Smells amazing when you walk in the door, very generous portions too.

Note: While I am not Greek, I was raised in Astoria and came to expect only the best of Greek food. I remember BZ Grill opened up around the time I moved out of Astoria and found the food top notch. Today I stopped by after a long tennis practice at Astoria Park and was not disappointed. The cashier and cook greeted me as I am came in and were super friendly and sweet. I ordered the chicken souvlaki sandwich with the works- salad, onions and a very good tsatsiki sauce with chunks of chicken breast held in a pita. The sandwich was enough for a meal and cost $11. Next time I'll try the chicken gyro sandwich with fresh gyro I saw in the kitchen.

Ate here for the first time today and it was delicious! The food is fresh and the service was great. A special shout out to Visar who was pleasant and accommodating. We enjoyed chicken and pork gyros, a nice Greek salad, falafel and tzatziki with pita. Can't wait to go back!

I love this place. Amazing gyro sandwiches. Fast and friendly service. My go to in Astoria.

Great food great service always a go too when I'm out of ideas I highly suggest the bacon wrapped souvlaki and Greek salad

Great gyros! Portions are generous enough to share. Service is friendly and very courteous. Only downside is parking in this area is terrible.

I've only had their lunch specials which is pita sandwich of your choice, fries and drink for $13 ($11.95 before tax) Food is phenomenal as I got lunch here twice this week. They have very limited staff as this is mostly a two go type of place, but they are great. It was super busy when I arrived today and I was told in advance that it would be 15-20 min since they were busy. I thought that was great as in other places sometimes they don't tell you at all! They were friendly, patient and attentive and it was really refreshing to see that in a very busy work environment during lunch time. Great food and great people. Will def be back.

I cannot compliment BZ grill enough! It's an Astoria gem that everyone needs to try! I get their lunch special- which gives you a gyro sandwich, a drink, and French fries all for $10. Will be ordering from here on the regular! Food: gyros are consistently amazing! I always get the chicken gyro lunch special - and it is so filling and delicious. I recently discovered that you can ask for the spicy feta spread (kopanisti spread) on the gyro- it adds a really great flavor. I also tried the halloumi sandwich, which is a bit too salty. The cheese pie is amazing and only $1 Price: very cheap, especially if you get the lunch special! Service: I love everyone that works here! They are so friendly and helpful!

The food is so good , me & my wife came be a lot when she was pregnant with our son. All she can crave.. the service is quick , very nice the place it's small & comforting.

Best gyro on this side of the world. Gyro is outrageous, tremendously good yogurt sauce that I could eat/from all day. A must stop if in the area

Astoria is no stranger to excellent greek food and BZ Grill is no exception. I was first introduced to this place by my cousin. We had ordered some greek food to do a quick lunch at his nearby apartment with family. Since then I have been going to BZ Grill regularly to get their perfectly constructed gyros. I particularly love their lunch combo. A gyro, fries, and a drink for $10. You get a stacked to the brim gyro with perfectly crispy meat. It's really hard to beat and I find myself craving it so often. Go to BZ Grill get their lunch special and you won't be disappointed.

The Infatuation has a guide to a day in Astoria, which includes this pita place! This was not a far walk from the N train stop. They had limited seating inside and outside but we were able to snag a table for two outside. There was a long to go wait and it seemed like they were preparing a lot of deliveries as well. It wasn't hard to believe as you can get a sandwich with fries and a drink for around 10 dollars. That is unheard of in Manhattan. I got the chicken pita. It was good. I wish there was more sauce! Or at least have the sauce more evenly distributed! If I'm around the area again, I would stop by for a quick lunch!

The food is good but how does an $11.95 lunch special wind up costing me $15.62? Even after tax it should be a little more than $13 so not sure why the stealing.

I gave BZ grill one more chance, but now I am absolutely sure I will never order from them again. I ordered 2 gyros and fries. the gyros were so greasy to a point it was not edible and there was bone in the sandwich. I have never heard of gyro meat with bone in all the years I have ordered gyro from any establishment.

I've been here before years ago but never wrote a review (completely forgot). Me and my friend opted to sit outdoors. You tell the guy behind the counter your order and then later he calls you to take out the food. I assume because of the pandemic there's a lot more outdoor seating. Food portions are MASSIVE. The platter was huge. Easily shareable between 2 people. The salad was refreshing. My friend got the eggplant dish (comes in 2 sizes. One is the size of a small dip while the bigger one is appropriate as a side). When everything came out our table had no room. I wanted iced coffee but they didn't sell it at the restaurant but the guy was so sweet and recommended I go down the street to the deli as they sold iced coffee! So I did and got my iced coffee. When it was time to pay, he gave me and my friend beer and ginger ale on the house! What a friendly sweet environment!!! Really nice to see so much kindness during the pandemic. Service is great, food is delicious and filling. Great spot to visit.

Best Chicken Gyro ... hands down...and I've tried many. Beet Salad ...oh so good...really. Baklava is awesome. Great staff,spotlessly clean too!

*Catering Review* I went to a party that was catered by BZ Grill. The food was great! The lamb/beef kebab was awesome! GET THE GREEK FRIES YOU WILL NOT BE SORRY! And their tzatziki sauce was great too. The hummus was decent, as was the eggplant salad. The chicken kebab was a bit dry but I think that's because we had to re-heat it in the oven. The portion of pita that they gave was insane...and it was SO good. Greek salad was fresh...I mean...overall it's a legit spot!

Finally made it here a pork gyro. My first bite was just the pork and it had some crunch, juiciness, and the right amount of fat. Everything about the gyro was done right - the pita toasted and warm - the tatziki was thick, tangy, and garlicky - decent amount of tomato and lettuce - and the whole thing held together in the paper wrapping. Service was also quick and friendly. I'd come back here anytime! It's the closest to what you'd find in Athens I've found in NYC. Except it's bigger and they don't put fries in it.

Ordered the Greek Fries Dinner Special w falafel pita. It was very fresh and yummy. The greek fries w grilled feta was cooked to perfection. The falafel was tender, moist and not oily. Very yummy. The pita is freshly made. Hummus was a little bit vinegary so wasn't really my cup of tea. But I highly recommend the falafel and greek fries. Prompt delivery and well packaged!

I really like this place. Cashier and cook super friendly, helpful. The place is bright and clean. I appreciate the cook still wearing his mask. I ordered tzatziki sauce on the side $1. I swear so much cucumber was shredded/ thin julienne, yogurt was so thick and delicious. What a great deal, everything was fresh. Lunch special $12 with can drink, fries and sandwich.

Maybe I haven't been to that many gyro places, but I must say, this was one of the best gyros I've ever had. Got the pork gyro and a kebab (lamb gyro). They stuff a generous amount of pork in your gyro and the pita around it is just perfect. Just a tad burnt so that you have some warm delicious crunch on the outside. I actually liked the lamb better than the pork, but both were amazing. The kebab had a better balance of meat with pita and veggies. Just one very wholesome delicious bite, whereas the pork is overwhelming from the pork. Also got the platter with hummus, eggplant, and some other dip with pita. omg so good. Have cheese, creamy, savory, just a little bit of everything. And did I mention the pita was amazing?

Great cozy place! Amazing and attentively service. Place maintains cleaning standards: staff wear masks, limited indoor seating. Visited to redeem a groupon purchase. Let me tell you, it was well worth it. In fact, it was a lot of food for two. Appetizer: hummus with pita bread and falafels. 2 main entrees( huge size) Wine, but they didn't have any. Offered soda, water or beer. If you visit alone, you will have food for two days because the portions are big. If you are near this area, pay them a visit. You won't regret it.

Food is delicious, lunch special is a great deal, and the workers are very kind. Easy and quick to order and nice looking interior.

Came around 1pm and put in a pickup order for 2 gyros. Not many people around, so figured it wouldn't take too long to put together. 40 minutes of waiting later, it was done. I wouldn't have minded this if they gave a heads up, but without the notice and the lack of people waiting made it a little frustrating. Regardless, the food was really good! I'd come back, just maybe put the order in 30 minutes ahead of time....

This place is a gem! The absolute BEST! Fries in all of Queen's!!!!! And there gyros are great too!!!!!

The spot for authentic Greek style gyro . Parking is a little tough, but, it is very close to the N train. Trying their salads and spreads is a must.

Outstanding food and juicy. Decent prices. The family loved it and want to go back. Authentic flavors

I found this place, had good reviews. I got the falafel gyro with some Greek fries. everything was great. The Greek fries alone made everything. So if you do some by definitely get the greek fries!! It's a must!!
