Brooklyn, NY — Gyro Mania, a Middle Eastern restaurant at 2151 Bath Avenue in Brooklyn, received a Grade B with a score of 25 following a health inspection conducted on February 18, 2025. The score places the restaurant near the upper boundary of the Grade B range, just three points below the Grade C threshold of 28.

The inspection, carried out by the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH), identified two non-critical violations and no critical violations. The data was released publicly by DOHMH on March 3, 2026.
What Inspectors Found
Inspectors documented two non-critical violations during the February 2025 visit:
The first violation, cited under Code 10G, involved deficiencies in dishwashing and ware washing procedures. Specifically, inspectors found that the cleaning and sanitizing of tableware — including dishes, utensils, and equipment — was not being performed adequately. Proper ware washing is essential for removing food residue and harmful bacteria that can lead to foodborne illness.
The second violation, cited under Code 10F, related to non-food contact surfaces and equipment. Inspectors noted that such surfaces were either made of unacceptable material, not kept clean, or not properly sealed, raised, spaced, or movable to allow accessibility for thorough cleaning on all sides, above, and underneath the units. Accumulated grime or debris on these surfaces can attract pests and create unsanitary conditions in food preparation areas.
While neither violation was classified as critical, the combined score of 25 points is notable. It represents the higher end of the Grade B range, indicating that the conditions observed were significant enough to warrant a score approaching Grade C territory.
Food Safety Context
NYC Health Code Article 81 establishes the sanitary standards that all food service establishments must maintain. The FDA Food Code further provides guidelines for proper cleaning and sanitization of food contact and non-food contact surfaces. Both violations identified at Gyro Mania relate to fundamental sanitation practices that these regulations are designed to enforce.
Dishwashing deficiencies can result in cross-contamination between meals, while improperly maintained equipment surfaces may harbor bacteria or provide environments conducive to pest activity. Restaurants are expected to maintain all surfaces in a condition that allows for regular and thorough cleaning.
Inspection History
No prior inspection history is available for Gyro Mania in the DOHMH public database. This February 2025 inspection represents the first recorded entry for the establishment at this location.
Understanding NYC Restaurant Grades
New York City's restaurant grading system, administered by DOHMH, assigns letter grades based on the total violation points accumulated during an inspection. Lower scores indicate fewer or less severe violations:
A: 0–13 points — Minimal violations observed
B: 14–27 points — Moderate violations identified
C: 28 or more points — Significant violations documented
Gyro Mania's score of 25 falls within the Grade B range but sits near the boundary with Grade C. A difference of just three additional points at a future inspection would result in a lower grade.
Consumers can verify restaurant inspection results through the DOHMH public database or by checking the letter grade posted at the establishment's entrance, as required by city regulations. Additional information about food safety standards and the inspection process is available on the NYC Department of Health website.
