Royal Chicken & Gyro

Restored my faith in food trucks!The truck, despite being bright school bus yellow, is inconspicuous with minor menu details and few pictures on the exterior. What is held inside however is masterful work and some of the best street food I've had in a great while. Make sure to ask for extra spicy and the owner will give you a special chili blend sauce that's incredible. The chicken was tender and the gyro meat had a nice searing texture. Well worth the money, and the food was hot and fresh!

If you want the TL;DR: Stop reading and order food.Thanks again fellow yelpers. As I was frigidly walking down the street, looking at food truck after food truck. I remembered the misfortune of not checking here before I ordered. This time, I checked a handful and then came across the reviews for Royal Chicken & Gyro. 2018 is looking up!The yellow truck is one of the most nondescript food trucks I've seen in a while, and one of the best experiences I've had. As I walked up, a nice woman greeted me. She was very nice, as was the other woman in the truck. I then asked the first woman what the combo over rice was. She explained that it was chicken and gyro meat over rice. She then went on to explain that gyro was beef and lamb mixed together. Being a meat lover, I decided that is what I would have, but let me back up for a moment. I have a problem. I generally order the most expensive thing on the menu (food-wise and proportional for 1-2 people). I love seafood, weird food, and more importantly, really good food.Back to the review at hand...So, I order the most expensive thing on the menu: Chicken and Gyro over rice. It was $10. It comes with chick peas (if you want) and a salad in a recyclable clamshell divided container. I asked for no napkins/plasticware seeing as I have those in my office. Let me say that all of the food (save the salad) was cooked very well. It was all very flavorful. The tzatziki sauce is wonderful as was the hot sauce. The meats were bigger than bite size, but not too big, and tender. Really everything about this meal was great including the chick peas and even the salad dressing. I'm even not one for salad dressing usually. The rice was also a good complement to the great flavors of the meat.I would recommend going to this food truck if you see it. You will not be disappointed. I will definitely return here if I see that yellow Royal Chicken & Gyro truck again.A random interesting note, roughly half of the food pictures have keyboards in the background.

This is by far the best kabob food truck!! The meat (both chicken and gyro) and rice are seasoned to perfection. Don't let the plain exterior fool you. I eat there once a week when the truck is by my work place. I really wish there was a brick and mortar location! Servings are generous and service comes with a smile.

Inexpensive, large portions, and tasty? SOLD! $10 for a very generous serving of lamb and chicken over deliciously spiced rice, plus a side salad: it's a really excellent deal and incredibly filling. Not the swankiest of trucks, but the food is the main draw anyway. Definitely going on my rotation.

I had lunch here, and I honestly felt like I was having lunch at my aunts house. Very warm and welcoming; and the food is amazing.I had the combo platter over rice- chicken and gyro. I wasn't a huge fan of the chick peas, but everything else was really well prepared!

Royal Chicken, I hope you know that you are my go-to kabob truck on Franklin Park. And that's saying something because there are soooo many of them. The three people who run the truck are adorable and very nice. And their food is consistent, which I love. I only ever get their chicken over rice with extra spicy sauce (note: it is, in fact, fairly spicy). The container comes full of yellow rice with tender diced chicken and sides of chickpeas and a simple salad, all topped with yogurt sauce. It's certainly a filling meal. I won't say it's magical, but for less than $10, methinks it's one of the best values for food truck lunch in the downtown area. And if you try it and like it once, you can rest assured that the next time you stop by, you'll get an equally satisfying meal.

One of the best food trucks during the lunch hour in DC. If you see this truck and haven't tried it please do! I love food trucks that put some heart into their food and happy whenever I can support a small and local business. Royal Chicken and Gyro definitely hits the spot whenever I'm craving kebob and rice (which is everyday). While it's not the best lamb (still very good), their chicken is on point when it comes to seasoning and overall taste and is probably one of the best. Their rice is delicious, it is seasoned with fennel seeds that gives it a really authentic taste with the meats and chick peas. They have a very nice staff and portions are even enough for me (which is saying something).

By far and away the best food truck in DC and two of the nicest ladies! You'll love the chicken over rice!

(4.5 stars) Although the food truck looks very simple and not that visually enticing, I guarantee you'll be pleasantly surprised with your meal. Easily one of the best food trucks I've had so far and the food is arguably better than most sit-down Greek restaurants. The gyro over rice was awesome. The gyro meat was juicy, crispy and flavorful while the rice was light and well-seasoned. It came with two sides of tomato, lettuce and onion which was good but very basic and left me wishing for another side option to complete the meal. Arguably the best part of the meal was the yogurt and hot sauces. The yogurt sauce was tasty and complemented the gyro and rice flavors nicely, the hot sauce was not overpowering but had some kick to it, and together the two made a great combination. Definitely give this truck a try next time you see it!

Great service and very reasonable menu; not too many options like other food trucks. Very friendly and kind. Food was delicious!
