    Inside
    Lisa W.

    My sister recommended their ice cream, she said it was different from others because it has the Greek twist. It's basically plain frozen Greek yogurt with baklava crumbles and honey syrup. It's good if you like plain Greek yogurt which can be sour for some people. But it balances out with the honey syrup they use. The baklava crumbles give it a good crunch and different type of topping to this frozen dessert. Worth a try if you're in the area.

    Chicken salad & greek fries
    Jenny Y.

    A must try! My go to is the chicken salad & greek fries - a well balanced meal. You'll see the chickens roasting inside - great flavor & not dry at all. Fries are crispy! Ordered at the counter and worker brought out the food not that long after. Indoor & outdoor seating available - take advantage of the outdoor seating when it's a nice day out! Indoor seating looks clean & quite spacious. Located in a good area. Just a bummer they don't have that many locations outside of SF.

    Chicken Sandwich
    Jazmin G.

    Great food. I love how the gyro is different everywhere you go. The slice of navel orange was such a refreshing addition. The veggies were nice and fresh. My only complaint is that the meat is almost too shredded / mushy leaving too many soft textures going on however, the flavor was still great! Not pictured but a must try is the frozen yogurt

    Pork Salad

    Great casual spot in Hayes Valley.There's a lot of nice restaurants in the area, but on busy weekends, you might need a reservation for those places - Souvla saves the day by being quick and casual. I've been here many times and there's usually a short wait/line, but it's never too long, so don't let a crowd discourage you. Food comes out pretty fast and the menu is simple enough so that the ordering line also goes by fast. I typically opt for one of the salad options - the pork shoulder salad bowl is my favorite. These salads are huge and filling. I'm not a salad person but these are great and well-worth the price. I also love their frozen yogurt - perfect on a hot day. All of their menu options are sharing-size in my opinion, so if you're a couple, you could easily split a salad plus frozen yogurt and both be satisfied. Overall, love Souvla and this location! Would recommend if you're in the area and need a quick bite.

    Chicken sandwich with side of granch sauce
    Louise T.

    I love Souvla! I always get the chicken sandwich with extra granch sauce and the Greek yogurt with honey and baklava pieces! The food is always made fresh to order, fast service, and I never leave disappointed! If you are in the San Francisco area look up Souvla and give it a try! They have sandwiches, salads, fries and at least 3 different protein options as well as vegetarian! I can eat this everyday honestly! The vibes are off the hook here and you have to check it out for yourself! I highly recommend this place to everyone!

    The froyo is good only if you get the one with bread crumbs. My friend didn't like hers which had olive oil on it. The froyo flavor is a bit bitter and not as sweet.

    Just a short walk from the opera house and symphony venue! Love that is fast service, with a very cozy inside, that doesn't feel like fast food. They had some cute festive decor up too. Don't worry about not having a seat when you order, it clears up quickly. I ordered the side salad, fries, pita, and 2 dipping sauces (harissa-spiked and garlic mint). I do wish the flavors were stronger on the dips, but everything was really so good! My partner ordered the sandwich (I can't remember what meat) and roasted potatoes (they have chicken drippings). He loved both. We also ordered Greek yogurt with baklava crumble. So so good! Sour, but the crumble is the perfect pairing. Serve was friendly and the restaurant is clean. Vegetarian options and pet friendly patio!

    Frozen greek yogurt

    Genuine question: how is Souvla's frozen greek yogurt so delicious? I am addicted, and it somehow tastes better every time I have it. I've visited several times, and there's always a good amount of people in line or seated. The service is super fast: with the frozen greek yogurt, they prepare it right in front of you. The interior of the store feels warm and welcoming. Even though Souvla is a casual restaurant, the decor feels fancy and polished. The frozen greek yogurt is the perfect dessert. It's a reasonable price, and every cup is always piled with yogurt and toppings. The frozen greek yogurt is not too sweet and has the perfect refreshing tartness. I'm a huge fan of the sour cherry syrup - it complements the sweet and tart greek yogurt perfectly. The baklava crumbles and honey syrup are my absolute favorite toppings. The rich baklava and sweet honey are an outstanding contrast to the sour greek yogurt. I definitely need to try Souvla's other dishes because the frozen greek yogurt impresses me to no end.

    Chicken Sandwich with French Fries
    Daniel B.

    Wanted to get a quick bite before a flight and we decided to try Souvla based purely off the prospects of dessert! The Resturant is dimly lit which made it really nice and intimate. We ordered and got our food almost within 7 minutes, which was so great! I tried the chicken gyro with french fries and it was good! The orange inside was a delightfully surprise. Needed a bit more salt, but that is my preference. My friend tried the veggie salad and enjoyed it as well. For dessert, we got the frozen Greek yogurt with crumbles of baklava and the one with olive oil and salt. Both were delicious! The yogurt was the stand out. Definitely worth a try if you have ever wondered about the salt and oil on ice cream flavors combination.

    Lamb Sandwich Pork Sandwich Plain Frozen Greek Yogurt (Plain)

    Ordered some sandwiches and baklava Greek froyo for pick up. Everything was ready by promised time. When we ate our meal 20 mins later, the pita wrap was still intact and not soggy. Lamb was not gamey or dry and the yogurt dressing gave the sandwich a nice creaminess. The fries in greek style wrap were crispy. Ingredients in the sandwich were fresh and pita was soft. The Greek yogurt was smooth and not too tart - sweetness from baklava complimented the dessert. Overall portions were good for price and would come back for the same things. Also pretty cool that they have nutritional information posted on their website for each item!

    What I Ordered: Frozen Greek Yogurt with: Cretan Wildflower Honey Baklava Crumbles & Honey Syrup * if there's one thing you must order here, it's their frozen Greek yogurt! * sweetness from toppings perfectly complements the tanginess of the yogurt Freebird All-Natural Chicken Sandwich (Granch Dressing, Fennel, Navel Orange, Pickled Red Onion, Pea Shoots, Mizithra Cheese) Greek Fries (Olive Oil, Lemon Juice, Parsley, Mizithra Cheese) * also recommend trying their food (all ingredients used were super fresh) * currently has locations around San Francisco! 10/10

    Lamb Salad and Lamb Sandwich
    Samantha C.

    My best friend loves Souvla, so I finally decided to see what the hype was about. We got the lamb sandwich and salad. The pita on the lamb sandwich is nice and fluffy! However, the lamb was a bit on the dry side. It wasn't terribly dry so I still enjoyed my sandwich. The best friend agreed the lamb was dry but still liked the salad. It's a casual greek spot!

    Lamb Salad
    Brandi H.

    My friends and I stopped by for lunch and dined in. It changed the whole experience! I got the lamb salad again and it was so much better than take out. The worker convinced us to add friends and maybe that's what really upped the meal. The fries were perfectly crisp and meaty.

    What cooking oil do they use for their meats? I thought it was Olive Oil - but I may be wrong...

    That i am not 100% sure on but they are Italians so I would have to say if I were to guess it would be a italian olive oil from Italy and not just a local shelf one. 😉

    When will you start offering your frozen yogurts on DoorDash again? I've been checking all week and it's not available and we don't live close enough to come in to pick-up :(

    What's a good alternative dressing for the chicken salad? They forgot the yogurt dressing AGAIN on my take-out order.

    They use a bit of oil like olive oil (I think).

    Are there any vegan options?

    I believe there is a vegetable sandwich or bowl made just like the meat options. Suggest you call.

    What is a good time to go, to avoid long lines?

    I always order online! It's always done within 5-10 minutes. You can eat your online order there if you wish.

    Don't talk to me I'm eating…read more Once in a while a plate of food puts you in a trance enough to sit there eating silently with your friend. Don't talk. Just let me eat first. Thoughts going through my head "how can this taste so good," "I wasn't expecting this tonight," "this is the most tender gyro meat I've ever had," "how nicely this sauce pairs with the rice." Service was so friendly. Walked in for Friday dinner cus it's try a new restaurant night. Surprised it was empty. They got quite a bit of takeout orders but no one eating in there. Only the workers in there. Was greeted immediately with a smile. Wasn't sure if I had to order then seat myself or politely ask to get a table first. Sometimes it's confusing at some places, I didn't want to be weird. Asked for a table then server brought menus to us. But the next person who walked in just ordered and paid right away at the cashier then sat down. So I don't know. I wasn't given water with my sit down meal. Cus I ordered the food without mentioning water, so it must be one of those don't ask don't get kinda things. As requested. FOOD: *lamb & beef gyro plate: what is this goodness! Meat is so tender. How nicely it sits on top of this rice. Pour some tzatziki sauce over both and eat it. Delightful. Comes with a side of seasoned tomato much like a salsa consistency. There was a red liquid salsa sauce too on this plate so you can pick what you want to dip your meat into *hummus with chicken kabob: o what now this is something new I haven't tried! Delicious! The garbanzo beans are blended enough that the hummus is completely smooth. Good salty flavor. Comes with triangle pieces of bread oops I mean pita to dip. I slathered the hummus all over my pita. Pita was swimming in hummus. Why not, cus they give you plenty of hummus in that bowl. How many times did I shout "delicious" throughout and after this meal. Maybe 4 times. Am I talking to myself or to my friend. Doesn't matter. Sangria available in glass, half, and full size So clean inside. Got that new restaurant feel.

    I've only had the falafel burger and the falafel plate, and both were delicious. The fries are also…read morereally good. As a takeout place, Gyros and Tzatziki normally gets four stars, but as a restaurant, it's definitely three stars, and I'll tell you why. This place needs better management. Failing that, one of the three guys who is normally working when I come needs to take charge, because the current setup isn't working. You order at the counter, which is common at many San Francisco restaurants. One of the three guys will help you, but sometimes, one of them is just sitting or standing a few feet away from the cash register, but he won't acknowledge your presence. It's as if only people who will actually take your order are allowed to speak to you. Once you do (eventually) place your order, you're in for a wait. If you're eating in, that's all right, because the food is definitely worth the wait, and the small seating area is normally comfortable. If you're taking it to go, however, they refuse to say anything about where to be while waiting. I normally just sit down at an empty table because I know it will be awhile, but when I stand, I always feel like I'm in someone's way. When they're busy, not only does your food take forever to come out, but the service just goes out the window. Again, only three guys working, including the chef, but why does one of the remaining two guys always seem to be so stand-around-looking-dumb lazy? And the funny part is that it's not always the same guy; the one I used to think was a hard worker was sitting in a chair near the back last time I came. It was like he was in a timeout; he wasn't looking at his phone, just yelling random things to the cook occasionally while the other poor guy had to deal with four different parties eating in, plus all the to-go orders. So order it to go before you arrive. Or sit down and try to figure out what's going on.
