Amazing and iconic souvlaki and gyro spot by the most lovely family. Cant imagine Astoria not having this place! We always get gyros to go for our family or for big gatherings. Love their fries too!

very good very popular long time food truck on the corner of Steinway and Ditmars. Fast service and with a smile each time. Super casual of course, grab and go kind of eat although they do have some chairs along the sidewalk. Good value for your buck.

King Souvlaki is a great value food truck. The portion sizes are good for the price, the food is filling, the service is good, and the food is delicious. I was in the area looking for something quick to eat after getting off a long flight. I came upon King Souvlaki's food truck. I was greeted right away and quickly decided on some Greek fries with gyro meat. The guy in the food truck was engaging and helped me understand the different items on the menu by answering my questions. I paid for my meal via Zelle and couldn't wait to try the food. The food was delicious. The fries were well-seasoned and perfectly fried. The gyro meat also has a nice flavor. I didn't care for the tzatziki sauce. I could see myself coming back from seconds the next time I was in the area.

Hands down the best place to get gyros in all of New York! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and consistently amazing. The service is just as outstanding, friendly, fast, and 10/10 every time. King Souvlaki never disappoints, and I truly can’t recommend them enough!

I stopped by King Souvlaki and was blown away by how good everything was. The food came out fresh, hot, and packed with flavor. The chicken was perfectly seasoned and juicy, the pita was soft and warm, and the fries had the perfect crisp. You can tell they really care about the quality of what they serve. Service was quick and friendly, and the portion sizes were generous—you definitely leave full and satisfied. It’s the kind of spot that makes you want to come back again and again because you know the food will always hit the spot. If you’re craving authentic, delicious Greek street food, this place is an absolute must-try.

I love the food from King Souvlaki! The chicken gyro is the best in town. But the chicken souvlaki platter is my absolute favorite. It’s always so tender and they give a hefty portion. If you go, you NEED to ask for the “King Sauce”, that’s what gives it the perfect touch. Could eat this everyday!

I will drive from the UES, pay tolls & wait in line in bad weather just to eat their food. Actual Greeks quickly serving well priced, good quality food is not easy to find unless you head to one of their trucks. On top of it, they love dogs and help local neighborhood causes. They’ve been part of the fabric of Astoria and NYC for almost 50 years. LONG LIVE THE KING!
