Megan AllisonDecember 3, 2016Genius concept. Greek food is simple, clean and delicious, and there's not enough of it in SF proper. This is a fresh take on it with a wide appeal and (I hope) good margins. Whole chicken is a must.Upvoted 4 weeks ago
Staff PicksDecember 2, 2014If you're on the hunt for a good salad, look no further. You'll find a variety of great ones here along with great Greek style wraps. Definitely try their frozen yogurt with bites of baklava on top! Read more

BommyApril 23, 2016Expensive but so good. Try the vegetarian white sweet potato salad or sandwich and get it 'greek style': they throw a handful of their seasoned fries on top for only 50 cents extra!

VladieJune 6, 2015Friendly place with nice small tables on the sidewalk. They're quick to serve and the food is delicious. I'd recommend the salads as they're very delicious and easier to eat.
Tom CoatesJune 1, 2018The food is great. My favorite is the lamb kebab or salad. The salads are well flavored and just lack carbs so they’re good if you’re dieting. The sour cherry syrup on the frozen yogurt is intense- BommyAugust 8, 2014Lamb leg salad and pork shoulder sandwich are really flavorful. Can add pita bread to any salad for an additional $1. Juicy potatoes are named appropriately so skip the fries and get these instead.
Everything is so freaking good here. Get whatever you're getting "Greek style" (with fries mixed in).
Huge, juicy, spit-roasted meat-filled pita sandwiches are what you'll find here. Don't miss the Lamb Leg Sandwich, Greek Fries, & Harissa-Spiked Yogurt and read all about it on WinstonWanders below!! Read more
- Andrew ChoiJuly 13, 2016Both the lamb and the pork shoulder sandwiches are very yummy! Explore the dipping sauces as well.
The chicken sandwich was excellent and the potatoes were great too, but both of them are little oily :) + super friendly staff 👍🏽👍🏽 next time I'll go for the salad bowl and the Greek fries
Margot SeetoJuly 3, 2018Dat soft-serve frozen Greek yogurt topped with olive oil and flaky sea salt. Share it (ask for it in two cups) and eat in the park nearby if it’s too crowded inside (which it probably will be).
I loved the Chicken Souvla. Can't wait to try the lamb and pork. The fries were great but I hear the dripped potatoes are better. I wish one yogurt sauce was included with the potatoes.
Andy KanenasMay 11, 2018Coming from a Greek (me): chicken soup was amazing (as good as my moms, hehe), sandwiches were great and filling. I would put a photo of everything here but ate all before I realised!
Super fast service. Suspect world end after 2 mins. Great ambience. Good wifi. Deli food, both lunch and dinner. Go for pork shoulder or lamb salad. Trust me.
Ashok LalwaniMarch 30, 2015Community style eating. Good service. Felt like an upscale version of food truck experience. Veggie Sweet Potato wrapped in Pita bread was delicious. Any of the Frozen yogurt flavors are a must have.
Anton GaddiMay 7, 2019The lamb and the chicken wraps are my favorites as well as the orange juice. Excellent place for a quick bite and portions that will not make you feel like you ate a cow (i.e. moderate portion size).
Pork makes the most traditional pita wrap. The x-rated roasted potatoes are cooked under a rotisserie lamb shoulder???! and are totally delicious. Go with Skouras rosé to complete your Hellenic party.
Tahai Michelle BaikJuly 25, 2016I never developed a liking for the actual wrap part of a wrap and no exception here. Never thought I would ever say this but get the salad! Brings out the flavor more, with a added bonus of healthy!
Denise FOctober 28, 2016The concept of the place is nice. The taste is good, I just think maybe it's missing a yogurt sauce inside, something to make it less dry. Try the Greek yogurt as dessert it's delicious!
The lamb salad was amaaazing and pretty big. Great takeout option in a neighborhood packed with sit-down-only places.
Andrew WongNovember 2, 2019Lamb sandwich was great! The waitress also offered us a taste of the Greek yogurt with baklava on top - it was so good I'd come here next time just for that!
Adrian PhillipsFebruary 12, 2016The lamb sandwich is enormous. Also get a side of Greek potatoes covered in meat juice, you will not regret it. If you're not in the mood for bread, get the salad.
Lamb. Greek frozen yogurt with Cretan honey. Sometimes I order extra and put it in the freezer for the next day - it's still delicious and the texture becomes more like I've cream
Kait GaissMay 12, 2016Love this spot. Laid back, order at the counter, stuff only comes in a sandwich or salad version, yet you feel like you're in a really nice, trendy restaurant.
Get the chicken salad + greek style + hot sauce. Souvla soaks their chicken with a feta brine to give it that unique flavor. Search "nytimes feta-brined roast chicken" to learn more.
Daniel MorganJune 28, 2016We came back twice during our 3 day trip. Lamb, chicken or Pork... Doesn't matter. Quick yummy and good price. Tasty fries, 1 portion enough for 2.
Kaitlin MartineauMarch 7, 2017Lovely lunch! Simple menu and wonderfully Greek. The Greek frozen yoghurt is fabulous - wish I could get it in the freezer section
Excellent Greek sandwiches. The salads, potatoes, and frozen yogurt are great, too. There are additional locations on Divisadero and in the Mission.
Don't leave without the frozen Greek yogurt. Which flavor? Whatever tickles your fancy, they're all delicious.
Damian BayonaJanuary 23, 2017Quick and delicious at a reasonable price. Get the pork sandwich and fries and douse w house hot sauce to your liking. Serving alcohol too.- T ZAugust 15, 2016lamb sandwich = delicious & filling. baklava froyo = so good. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE
Most delicious sandwiches! Can't go wrong with the Pork, Chicken, or Lamb. Excellent fries as well.
Colin LeeMay 27, 2017Modern Greek food in a slightly cramped sitting setting. The chicken salad, Greek ice tea and froz yo were super yummy for a healthy meal
L UNovember 10, 2017Fries are great. Really fresh food, but lamb was dry. Also tried the veggie wrap, and the slabs of sweet potato are pretty overwhelming. Good ingredients, just wish they did falafel or something.
Daniel BouludJuly 30, 2014One of the last restaurants I went to when I was in SF with my daughter. Their roasted chicken was some of the best I’ve had and is definitely worth a try. It is excellent quality for the price!
David Cox-EspenlaubMarch 6, 2016Greek yogurt with 🍒 syrup is so solid. Get potatoes for the table if the fact that they're roasted in drippings is a good thing for you.
Carolyn BJune 12, 2014Excellent lamb in both the salad and the wrap. Salad is strong on the kale so that can be overpowering, but the wrap is delicious. Fries are tasty :)
Eunkyung ChaNovember 15, 2017Love Souvla! The yogurt was best i’ve ever ate. and definetly the salad was also good.
Clara BrenotJuly 29, 2015Good Greek white wine, delicious lamb salad and the frozen yogurt with baklava is really incredible!
Odile RoujolNovember 27, 2016Greek yogurt with olive oil and the chicken sandwich. No line on Sunday for the thanksgiving week end 😉 🍦
Jocelyn TranApril 2, 2015Lamb wrap! Big salads for gluten free options but they don't massage their kale.
Claire PedersenApril 12, 2015Really great & quick food :) If there isn't a terribly big line grab a seat outside...if there is grab the food to go and eat at the little park.
_October 13, 2014The salads here are delicious! You can turn any of them into a wrap. Also try their frozen greek yogurt!
Such great Greek food. All the ingredients are super fresh and made to order. Get they Lamb sandwich with a side of Greek fries.
Ariane MotaSeptember 13, 2015Love all the gyros I have tried (chicken, pork, and veggie). If you're thinking of getting the salad, it is incredibly filling.
Katarina SladoljevAugust 28, 2015Amazing sweet potatoe salad as a cegetarian gluten free option,relaxed atmospere and outdoor tables for people watching
Allison YuAugust 11, 2016Amazing Greek yogurt and fries. Also love the granch sauce (Greek yogurt and ranch). Could eat that all day
