Whenever I visit New York, I always go for the food. I was watching an F**K that's Delecious episode hosted by Action Bronson, and he recommended this place in one of his episodes. He recommended the chicken with lemon and barbecued kabobs. I ordered a Chicken Kabab with Lemon and Barbecue Sauce and a Pork Kabab with Barbecue Sauce. The Kabab was okay, but it had more fat than meat than anything. The parts without the fat were very delicious, and you could taste the Lemon on the meat. The barbecue sauce was tasty and flavorful. The customer service was great and the cooks were friendly and outgoing., read more

Fresh is an understatement at Christo's. I always get the pork and chicken souvlaki combo wrapped in pita with everything on it. For $10 it's just a football sized fantastic deal. These guys do it daily and they do it right. I can't say enough good things about this souvlaki stand. A must visit when in Astoria area. read more

Christos Souvlaki Stand - Street Vendors Near Me - Queens, New York

First time here and came in handy on that corner! The chicken was good but left a little too long on the grill...I don't like to eat chicken with grill taste on it. Service was good... Christo made sure all customers were seen and got all orders correct. He also had an assistant that handles the cash and help putting the condiments. What I also didn't like was seeing the assistant drop one piece of my chicken and it fell on the side of the grill & he put it right back! That part of the stick broke and I almost could have chewed the stick because of the piece that fell off. Besides that I would def like to come here again. read more

For just $7 (it's 6/2025 btw), this is absolutely glorious! The guys are generous with the pork/ meat. loved it, and they've definitely earned a loyal client in me. Just a heads-up: they only accept cash here, and there's often a line, but I've never had to wait more than 1O minutes. read more

If you smell some scrumptious smoke near the Ditmars stop, it's probably from the Christos souvlaki stand. I didn't spot anything resembling a posted menu so I just requested a pork skewer from one of the guys which I found out was $4 and came with chunks of sesame seed bread. It looks like skewers are the only thing Christos sells. A handful of hungry patrons were waiting but my skewer was ready in no time. Said skewer was placed in one of those foil-lined bags along with the foil-wrapped bread, all in a plastic bag. The pork pieces were very good--quality protein on the go! I suggest saying yes to the lemon and salt. I'll have to echo Chi C.; I passed the corner on a Sunday as well and didn't see the stand. So just to be sure, don't plan to go on a Sunday if you want your souvlaki? read more

Pork souvlaki is banging. This is only my 2nd time here and the pork is tender and flavorful; I once came on a Sunday and it was closed, so I'm glad I caught them today. You can smell them before you turn the corner. Really like it with lemon and oregano. It's $4 a pop and comes with a piece of bread. The service is quick and efficient. There are chairs on the sidewalk for you to enjoy the freshly made souvlaki. read more

Christos Souvlaki Stand - Pork - Street Vendors Near Me - Queens, New York

Some of the Best Greek souvlaki in Astoria old school Astoria style on the charcoal like I remember when I was a kid going to Astoria can smell the aroma down the block read more

I treat myself to a couple souvlaki skewers whenever I get my haircut down the block from Christos, sometimes when I take the subway (a daily occurrence), and sometimes when I just want to have an excellent little meal. It's so good, really affordable; and always fresh. The guys at the truck are really nice, and it's a great deal. It's like 3.50 for a meaty skewer and a fat hunk of toasted bread. It really can't be beat. read more

Fast, fresh and absolutely delicious. Christos is a super friendly guy that loves his job and customers.

Where has this been all my life?? Lowkey high quality souvlaki sticks. I was stopping by Sal, Kris & Charlie's when I was drawn in by the smell of the food. The souvlaki is big and juicy and perfectly grilled. Hands down my fav. Go support this small, local food cart! read more

At first I thought they were an extension of the steakhouse with that name. This is a little confusing given their proximity to one another. Instead, they are one of the many food carts around Astoria offering different types of souvlaki sticks. We ordered a chicken and pork version and the sticks were okay, nothing special by Astoria standards. Would I recommend, no? read more

This is the best souvlaki I've ever had and I've lived in New York City for 35 years. I'm not sure which I prefer, the chicken or the pork, so I always get both. For $7, you get two heavy skewers with perfectly charred and seasoned meat plus two slices of really nice fresh seeded bread. The guys that run the cart are not only really nice but they keep the line moving even when it gets busy around lunchtime. At $3.50 per single kebab, probably the best deal for something like this anywhere around here. If I could give them eleven stars I would. read more

Insanely good charcoaled souvlaki at an unbelievable price. I am new to the neighborhood but noticed long line everytime I pass by this small vendor. And I can't be happier I tried them today. I had 2 pork skewers which cost me just $7. The portion is big, meat was perfectly smokey and well seasoned. It is good to trust the wisdom of the crowd. I will definitely come back for more! read more

Wow! Incredible souvlaki. We went to Greece last year and have been trying to find authentic Greek souvlaki in NY for months after coming back. This is truly as good as it gets. We live a 40 minute drive from here but it's worth a drive, so we will be back soon! read more

High quality kebabs and super friendly staff. I'd go to Astoria just for this cart! The pork is tender and flavorful.

OMG! Best souvlakis EVER! Been coming here for years on every visit to NYC. It's our "never miss" food.

This is a neighborhood treasure! Christos is a master of souvlaki, having cooked them for decades. The souvlaki is cooked over a charcoal fire, and slathered in olive oil and lemon. I'm thankful as well that during the pandemic, both Christos and his helper are wearing masks. read more

The best. Better juicier smokier souvlaki than all the fancy greek restaurants I've been to. And for less than half the price!

Souvlaki is Amazing! Tender and seasoned perfectly. Love the chicken and pork.
