Eastanbul Gyro Kebab and Smyrna Bakery appear to have closed at 200 Allen St.

With the arrival of Beloved Cafe this week ... it looks as if its neighbor on the southeast corner of Houston and Allen has departed.

Eastanbul Gyro Kebab has been emptied out (we had reader reports in the past two weeks about a possible shutter here)... workers were spotted removing equipment from the sliver of a space yesterday...
In addition, Smyrna Bakery that served out of the south end of 200 Allen St., is also closed. 

Empire Gyro, with a 24/7 schedule, opened here in February 2019 ... with the conversion to Eastanbul (and Smyrna) in the summer of 2020.

There is no good gyro in New York, none can compete with a shawarma.

I thought their lamb gyro wrapped in pita bread was pretty good. I used to go there often I am sorry they closed. I cannot think of another decent place to get a Lamb gyro in the whole LES/EV.

I still miss The Sugar Cafe, which had great pancakes and better diner food than most diners.

Ah, that was a nice classic place even though it wasn't there very long.
