Happy Gyro - Washington

Best food for taking since covid. pizza was excellent

Lovely experience. The restraunt provided chill and classy vibes with excellent service from our waiter Georgi. Food was spectacular with plenty of vegan and non vegan options.

Take advantage of the Happy Gyro pop-up to get street food from a Michelin star restaurant. Grab friends and buy everything. The standout sides: fig and beet salad, baked ziti, olive oil gelato with chocolate cookie crumbs. The wraps/sandwiches were also great, my favorites were the Reuben and lamb.

Not only is that 32 dollar pizza is worth every cent, Happy Gyro is the only incarnation of any of DC's michelin star restaurants that provides the same excellence in carry out form. Hospitality and flavor. Truly the best we have in town right now, absolutely anyone who can indulge in these pies and pints must.

This review is for Happy Gryo unique vegetarian dishes bursting with flavor, the Gryo and crispy zucchini fritters are my favorites!Zucchini fritters (5/5) Hands-down the best, make room for the appetizer! The crispy fritters had a nice crispy shell stuffed with shredded zucchini and creamy yogurt and feta cheese.Gryo (4/5) Fun and interesting meaty texture made of very thinly sliced shredded crispy tofu with pickled peppers and creamy tzatziki in a pillowy housemade pita. All the flavors blended well together with this innovative dish. The pita wasn't overstuffed and surprisingly not messy, my hubby and I had no problem eating the wraps in the car.Fryo (3/5) Crispy french fries stuffed in a pita with tzatziki sauce. It was fun to try, but nothing special. Prefer the Gyro over the Fryo.Seasonal popsicles (3/5) Hit/miss depending on the flavor and not quite what I expected. The Vanilla Pecan Dark Chocolate had a tasty dark chocolate pecan shell and had a strong coconut flavor. I preferred the Vanilla Pecan Dark Chocolate over the Fig Greek Yogurt with a bold fig flavor and some notes of ginger. The flavors didn't quite fuse that well with a bit of inconsistency. It was fun to try the homemade popiscles. Pleasant Pops on U street are my favorite!The innovative dishes loaded with veggies are fun to try and packed with some great flavor. My hubby and I enjoyed the vegetarian feast in our car. If you're looking for something different, give Happy Gryo a go. Lives up to its name!
