Souvla Reviews
If you order a wrap, make sure to ask for hot sauce and apply it liberally. And treat yourself to a yogurt for dessert.
by Erik M.
Meh. Ordered the lamb salad (it didn't taste like lamb and was too salty). The "juicy potatoes" were so salty it was inedible! Bleh. Best thing is the Greek fro-yo. Would go back just for that.
by Curtis S.
rotisserie, greek fries, olive oil yogurt
by @GoNutritionista
Great frozen yogurt with baklava and Greek fries, but the sandwich with lamb was too sheepy
by Anna L
We really enjoyed Greek food at this place.
by Vic C
Awful service, great food. I've been here several times and they just kicked me out for hanging out half an hour after finishing my food. The place wasn't even full. I will not be coming back.
by Irina I.
the chicken salad is one of my favorite meals, and the greek yogurt...oh, the greek yogurt. tangy and sweet and creamy and perfect. ❤️❤️❤️
by cami j.
Modern Greek food in a slightly cramped sitting setting. The chicken salad, Greek ice tea and froz yo were super yummy for a healthy meal
by Colin G
The Greek fries are the best!
by Nikki T
Best yogurt with honey in SF. Good food, great salads.
by Ethar W
Chicken sandwich was to die for. Very delicious. Design inside is super cool.
by Natale C
Vegi salad with chicken, froyo baklava and honey
by Jennifer G
Their hot sauce is flavorful without being overpowering—it really compliments their dishes.
by Chuck Roslof
Baklava & honey Greek Yogurt is the best flavor.
by J M
Veg Sandwich salad is great
by Daniel J
The salad bowls are the best! Basically a gyro dumped into a bowl of greens. Couldn't get into the frozen yogurt with sea salt and olive oil though.
by Ben G.
Lovely lunch! Simple menu and wonderfully Greek. The Greek frozen yoghurt is fabulous - wish I could get it in the freezer section
by Kaitlin D
Don't leave without the frozen Greek yogurt. Which flavor? Whatever tickles your fancy, they're all delicious.
by Zona Pan
Quick and delicious at a reasonable price. Get the pork sandwich and fries and douse w house hot sauce to your liking. Serving alcohol too.
by Damian Bayona
Waited forever for my sandwich to realize I had been given a cold salad (supposed to be warm) when I got home. Poor execution
by Louise M
Great place! I recommend taking the salad, is only $1 extra and is great!
by Igor A
Lamb wrap was amazing!
by Jay B
All the salads are great. Finish with the olive oil and salt yogurt.
by Matt S.
The lamb salad was filling and delicious! This place seriously is adorable, but lacks enough seating...
by megan m.
Genius 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.
by Megan Allison
Probably the best Greek in the city.
by James T
The lamb is actual chunks, and is extremely tender and full of flavor.
by James T
the veg salad is everything
by Jessica A
Greek yogurt with olive oil and the chicken sandwich. No line on Sunday for the thanksgiving week end 😉 🍦
by Odile D
Frozen yogurt !
by Odile D
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.
by Jason L.
Chicken salad
by Sir Francis S
Get the baklava frozen yogurt it is absolutely incredible.
by Joseph M.
Great location and nice for lunch
by Rafal E
The 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!
by Denise K
I've never been disappointed whether I get a wrap or salad. Great fries, too!
by Michael L.
Really famous mediterranean spot. Recommend for lunch.
by Joanna F.
The sweet potato veggie salad is pretty good. Fries and yogurt with baklava is yum
by Pavan C
Love is still an underrated description for this place. Cravings > discipline to deny their food
by Emily P.
Lamb sandwich
by William B
Try some Greek beer, it is really nice!
by Sergey Vorontsov
Frozen yogurt with olive oil and salt is delicious
by Louise K
Great greek place, nice pita sandwiches. Like for the design.
by Anton M
Pass on the weekend brunch sandwich with scrambled eggs.
by Bommy Cha
Love the frozen yogurt with sour cherry, the sweet potato salad, t rotisserie whole chicken, and the avoglemeno soup
by Jamila J
Save room for the Greek yogurt ice cream, maybe even start with that.
by Vivian C
Lamb salad and chicken sandwich were both excellent.
by Adam G
lamb sandwich = delicious & filling. baklava froyo = so good. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE
by Tiffany Zhong
Amazing Greek yogurt and fries. Also love the granch sauce (Greek yogurt and ranch). Could eat that all day
by Allison Y.
Love the rosé here paired with the pork shoulder wrap
by Anthony J
I 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!
by Tahai Michelle B.
The sandwiches are amazing 😄👌
by Filip I
EVERYTHING! Not that friendly but I don't care!
by Robert J
Tasty chicken salad!
by House Ninety Guesthouse
Both the lamb and the pork shoulder sandwiches are very yummy! Explore the dipping sauces as well.
by Andrew C.
Get the salad's over the sandwiches.
by Benson S
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
by shahad M
Lamb...go delicious!
by Luke Salinas
We 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.
by Daniel V
The pork shoulder wrap and frozen Greek yogurt are the makings of a very wonderful meal - the delicious flavors of the Mediterranean!
by Fiona M

by Jenna L
Roast lamb salad.
by Mark T
Vegetarian bowl.
by Kevin K
Chicken salad and frozen Greek yogurt with baklava and honey!!
by Janet H.
Love 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.
by Kait Gaiss
Just eat here.
by Bram R
Lamb 4 ever
by Erich G
Go with friends and hunt down a table on busy nights prior to ordering.

Veggie salad add chicken 😁
by Michael O.
The salad with lamb was amazing!!! 😘😍
by Isabelle M
Expensive 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!
by Bommy Cha
Best avgolemono soup I've had outside of my yiayia's (grandmother's) kitchen!
by Jonathan J
Everything is so freaking good here. Get whatever you're getting "Greek style" (with fries mixed in).
by Michael M.
Be it wrap or salad, the lamb and pork are divine.
by Brant A
Order their rotisserie roasted lamb, chicken, pork or sweet potato in pita or salad format (or order it Greek-style, which means fries on or in it).
by Eater
Chicken salad was so delicious
by David W
The lamb salad was amaaazing and pretty big. Great takeout option in a neighborhood packed with sit-down-only places.
by Omer Z.
Great lamb sandwich!
by Jes C.
Wow, never thought Greek Yogurt, olive oil, and sea salt would taste amazing, but it does. Why didn't I think if this? Going to try everything in their menu.
by Jenny U.
Souvla I love you but you're so crowded and hipsterrific. If you don't want to wait in line, have an early or late weekday lunch.
by Whitney R.
The chicken was good and the salad portion was large, but not sure if the price is worth it.
by Jessica Taylor
grego de grelhados, casual e moderninho, ótimo para ir almoçar. Escolha entre: porco, frango, cordeiro ou batata doce, em forma de sanduíche ou salada.Ñ deixe de pedir batatas fritas e o molho de alho
by Natasha N.
Greek 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.
by David C.
Chicken salad. And of course the baklava honey Greek yogurt!
by Lauren H.
The finest fries in San Francisco
by Andrew D
I'm a fan of the pork Gyro and the fast service
by Maya Shanmugam
The 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.
by Adrian Phillips
It is one reason to love Hayes valley.
by Ting A
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
by Arthur J
The hot sauce! Even if you're getting food to-go, ask for a small container of it.
by c0uP
Gets crowded but worth the wait. The chicken soup is great.
by Clare

Las ensaladas y los bocadillos están muy buenos. Se come bueno y barato.

Love all the gyros I have tried (chicken, pork, and veggie). If you're thinking of getting the salad, it is incredibly filling.

Might seem to be on the expensive side at first, but the portions are generous

by Edwina
In Germany we say "Die haben alle einen Stock im Arsch!".
by Ada B.
Friendly 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.
by Vladie B
Salads are better than wraps. Chicken is the best.

by Claire Pedersen
Lamb sandwich. Yes, please!
by Pina C
Lamb wrap! Big salads for gluten free options but they don't massage their kale.
by Jocelyn Tran
Community 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.

Their online ordering is super easy to use, and the food is always ready to pick up within 10 minutes.

Lamb salad is to die for. And baklava yogurt is incredible too

The pork shoulder wrap is the best greek food in SF, making our list of "The Tastes That Make the City: SF Edition."

Lamb Wrap.
by Elliott P.
Where to start, man? This place is Mount Olympus for a Greek hipster like myself. The food is tasty. The product is refined. The interiod design is trendy, hipstery but respects the origins. OPA!

Only place in town worth eating a salad at
by Annie W.
The home made greek yogurt with honey and sea salt is to die for. Talk with Lauren and tell her Rachel from Dallas sent you.
by Rachel P.
If 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!

The Shake Shack of Greek food. Superb sandwiches, wine and frozen yogurt. Sidewalk seating, too – a rare thing in SF.
by Zach K.
Ask for you gyro "greek style".
by Jeff W.
Order with square order to skip the lines. They can get pretty long, but it's worth it!
by Jeff S.
Lamb 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.
by Bommy Cha
Take out. Salads with fries "Greek style"
by Alex Plutzer

by Vasileios J
The salads — choose from three meat options — are delicious and substantial. Use Square Order to have yours ready when you get there.

One 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!
by Daniel Boulud
Try the chicken sandwich and the roasted potatoes with garlic aioli!

Large portion salad with well balanced flavour! Get the lamb or the chicken ( ´ ▽ ` )ノ
by Agatha Y.
Get the homemade Greek yogurt froyo with the baklava topping. Thank me later!!
by Jenny N.
Excellent 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 :)
by Carolyn B
Greek yogurt with oil and salt. Sounds weird, tastes amazing.
by Bo M.
Lamb bowl is great with a glass of rose.
by Nadine S.
Both the chicken and lamb with salad are very bland. Yogurt is great.
by Loretta Hui
I was really excited for this place but I can't be won over just by adorable interior design. I had a MEH pork wrap. Needed to pour on the hot sauce for flavor not worth the $10. Disappointed & sad.
by Joanna Volger
I swear I don't use the word "dank" often, but the sour cherry topped frozen Greek yogurt is daaaaank.
by Arianna S.
Pork is the bomb. Lamb can be a little tough and fatty - skip it for now.
by Jim F.
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.
