New Greek Restaurant Will Open In Newark This Week: Gyro Project

NEWARK, NJ — A new restaurant will open its doors this week at The Junction at Gateway in Newark.

The Gyro Project will celebrate its grand opening at 11:30 a.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 19 at 11-43 Raymond Plaza West.

Here’s what to expect, according to a news release:

“The Gyro Project offers a modern, street food style menu featuring gyro platters, souvlaki, Greek-style lamb chops, moussaka, house-stacked meats, imported olive oils, and much more. Following its successful debut in Fort Lee in 2023, this new location at The Junction will cater to both office and fast-casual takeout customers, enhancing the dining options available to Gateway Center’s office tenants and the broader Newark community. In addition to its extensive dining menu, The Gyro Project will also offer a curated catering menu tailored for the in-office workplace.”

The Gyro Project is part of the ST Management Group, which also includes Café Metro, Metro Catering and Events, Cambridge Catering, and fresh&co, an already established eatery at The Junction.

“When searching for the second location of The Gyro Project, The Junction immediately stood out as the perfect fit for us,” said George Tenedios, owner and president of ST Management Group.

“This beautifully designed space attracts Gateway office tenants, as well as commuters and members of the grander Newark community,” Tenedios said.

This week’s grand opening will be the business’ second location, in addition to the first in Fort Lee. It will be the seventh restaurant addition to the Junction at Gateway.

“For us, Gateway and The Junction will always be about improving the experience of both working and living in Newark,” said Jon Schultz, co-founder and managing principal of Onyx Equities.

“With the exciting addition of The Gyro Project, we are continuing to add to the elevated experience of the new Gateway Center,” Schultz said.
