Sweet potato salad, Greek style
Sonya H.

Beautiful and cozy outpost of this SF fast casual staple! Souvla has always been a favorite, with its outstanding salads, pitas, and frozen yogurt. My go-to is their vegetarian salad, which is absolutely loaded with tons of fresh greens, cheese, olives, nuts, and roasted white sweet potato. You can also get any salad Greek style and add a solid helping of fries on top for just $1 -- a great choice if you don't want to have an entire side of fries but still want something crispy. The salads are pretty big, so they can often be multiple meals (or one meal and a snack), especially if you get them with fries :). This location is especially fun -- I love how wide and open the space is, especially with their super high ceilings. The overall vibe is almost industrial chic, but they also have this really fun tree encased in glass in the center of their back wall. The team is awesome and super efficient and friendly -- can't wait to come back!

Lamb Salad

I got the lamb salad through delivery. The blend of kale and romaine lettuce with radish and pickled vegetables had great texture and flavor. They gave a good amount of lamb, which was tender and delicious!

Greek Frozen Greek Yogurt Four Pack - Baklava & Honey Syrup
Arti N.

Honestly the frozen greek yogurt was fire, ild recc the one with baklava topping and it was so good. The option with sour cherry is good but I feel it's not enough flavor and melts the froyo faster. I tried their one vegetarian option for the wraps and tbh it's just a big slice of sweet potato, I don't think u really get ur bang for ur buck with this option but the other choices looked fire. I just wouldn't get the vegetarian entree option coming here. Also service was good and ambiance was nice looking inside!

Greek Fries
Austin W.

I stopped by Souvla yesterday for an order of fries and a lamb salad. Because the restaurant was completely empty on the Tuesday evening, food was prepared quickly. Within two minutes, the order was ready to go -- impressive. While the fries were delicious -- crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, the salad was extremely disappointing. I have never had lamb overcooked to this degree. It was drier than any chicken breast, turkey, or jerky and was almost inedible. It wouldn't surprise me if the cubes of meat had been sitting around of hours in a heating tray, and then overcooked when reheated. As I'm re-reading my review from my first visit, I see that dry proteins is a clear pattern. For that reason, I would avoid both the lamb salad and the chicken salad and only come here for the fries. For a $20 salad, I would expect more.

Chicken Salad
Anthony Z.

After living in the City for a while, I finally decided to try the hyped Souvla that everyone's raving about. I came here around 6PM and the place was bustling, but we still found a place to spot to sit and enjoy a quick meal. You go in and order at a kiosk with a person, like a coffee shop, before getting a number and seating yourself. You then wait for someone to bring your food over. I ordered a Lamb salad and Chicken salad. The lamb had that gamey flavor if you're looking for it, while the chicken is more tame. Both were pretty good for the price, and my wife and I both felt full afterwards even with the lack of carbs. They give a good amount of meat, and the vegetables tasted very fresh. There were some fruits in the chicken salad which was a nice surprise. Food came out within 10 min, and the overall vibe is like an upscale nick the greek. This establishment is fairly priced and with the smaller menu, makes it pretty easy to pick what you want. I have yet to try their frozen yogurt, but I've heard it's also really good. Interior decor is very pretty, and sunlight gets in pretty well in the afternoon.

Frozen yoghurt

Amazing frozen yoghurt - real plain tart Greek yoghurt - and great service :) highly recommend!

David N.

I am not sure why they say they spit roast the meats here. I was expecting the pork to be much more gyro like but it had a stewed texture. The lamb also looked stewed. The venue is nice and airy. I would also say the bread for the sandwich was too hard and the frozen yogurt with olive and salt was way too salty. I had to scrape most of the salt off. It's like rock salt

Lamb Sandwich Greek Fries
Renee J.

Perfect lunch. Lamb sandwich w hot and crispy tower of Greek fries. Generous amount of lamb . super fast service with lots of smiles. Casual and plenty of seating. Perfect spot to dine solo or w friends. Thank you for having this location in Dogpatch. Thank you

Greek Fries - Olive Oil, Lemon Juice, Parsley, Mizithra Cheese
Mike L.

Between how much I love them and the number of times I've had their food, I'm genuinely surprised this is only the second Souvla I've reviewed. Granted, it kind of makes sense, given how they don't have THAT many locations (five...and counting!), but still! Almost every time I see one, it's almost impossible not to stop in - not when nearly everything I've had has always been so delicious! Whether you're interested in their salads, wraps, lamb, pork, chicken, fries, soup, or frozen Greek yogurt, the menu here is no different than what you'll find at any other Souvla. However, it took just one visit for this one to become my favorite location. Although it's not demonstrably larger than their spots in Hayes Valley and NoPa, they always seem to have seats available and there's never a line. Plus, it's so much easier to find parking in the neighborhood (I've never had to circle around). Perhaps that's also why the vibes here are far more relaxed and chill! -- VANDE ROSE FARMS PORK SHOULDER SALAD - Minted Greek Yogurt, Cherry Tomato, Cucumber, Pickled Red Onion, Feta Cheese...$16 Not only my favorite dish here, but one of my favorite DISHES anywhere (not just salads!). Honestly, this is so good - the pork is juicy and well seasoned, the dressing is delicious, and the greens are always super fresh. SO DELICIOUS! -- VANDE ROSE FARMS PORK SHOULDER PITA SANDWICH - Minted Greek Yogurt, Cherry Tomato, Cucumber, Pickled Red Onion, Feta Cheese...$15 This is one of my favorite pitas around, but, somewhat surprisingly, I actually like the salad version better (same for the rest, too). While the combination of the pork, yogurt, and veggies tastes just as awesome, it feels like some of the juices are lost to the pita. That said, I wouldn't say no to getting this, either! -- GREEK FRIES - Olive Oil, Lemon Juice, Parsley, Mizithra Cheese...$5 I don't always get this, but when I do, it's always a good decision! The fries are crispy and never oily/greasy while the mizithra cheese and lemon juice add a lot of flavor. They also have dipping sauces for $1 (the Harissa-spiked and "Granch" are great), but they aren't necessary either. -- THOMAS FARMS LAMB LEG SALAD - Harissa-Spiked Yogurt, Cucumber, Radish, Pickled Red Onion, Feta Cheese...$17 In the highly unlikely event I don't want pork, this is my go-to back up. As tasty and moist as the lamb was, the most impressive thing about it was how it's not at all gamey. Plus, I liked how well it meshed with the Harissa-spiked yogurt - yum! -- AVGOLEMONO SOUP - Traditional Egg-Lemon Soup with Chicken & Rice...$7 On a cold night in SF, this is the perfect way to warm you up! The portion size is pretty fair for the money and there's a good amount of chicken and rice. One thing to note is that the lemon in this is pretty strong, which I liked, but I can see why some folks wouldn't like this as much as I do. Besides how much I love this particular location and how consistent the food has been, the staff here is just as awesome. The workers have all been really nice and the kitchen gets orders out ridiculously fast, regardless of you're dining in or grabbing your orders to-go. Despite how it may not be the closest Souvla to me, I'm more than happy to drive a little further for all of the benefits and delicious food it has to offer, whether it's for their pitas, salads, or their frozen Greek yogurt!

Greek frozen yogurt, olive oil, sea salt
Carol W.

Scene: 2 p.m. on a Thursday, a sunny day in Dogpatch I saw there is a Souvla. Wow, is that new? I saw a line at the entrance, and asked a man if it were new. He wasn't sure, but remarked that the photo on the wall is the same as the one in Hayes Valley. The interior exhibits industrial elegance, with beautiful light fixtures. There were a few groups finishing lunch. After a partly disappointing lunch nearby, I wanted a treat. What better than their Greek yogurt? Yes, Greek yogurt is ubiquitous in grocery stores, with many brands. It is healthy for you so maybe not interesting to some. It is no longer a novelty. However, when it first appeared on the menu at Souvla, I was impressed. Its smoothness with the addition of olive oil and sea salt is great. What a good idea to combine these flavors! Now we have olive oil ice cream, but when Souvla first opened, its frozen Greek yogurt was (and still is) a great concept. I will return for one of my favorite desserts. Stop by when you're in the area!

Frozen Greek Yogurt - Baklava & Honey Syrup
Alexis M.

It's been years since I last ate at Souvla, and since we were checking out a cafe Sohn next door, we decided to grab some Souvla as well. I remembered their frozen Greek yogurt was good, I ordered the one with baklava crumbles and honey syrup. We also got the Greek fries with garlic greek yogurt and a pork sandwich. Personally, I thought the sandwich was just okay, it didn't really stand out but everything else was tasty. We ordered to go, and our food was ready pretty quick. The ambience of the restaurant was also nice!

Menu 6/10/2025

Our group of four were in the area around 12:15pm on a Tuesday and were looking for a place for lunch. After checking out the menus of several places, we came upon Souvla. The restaurant had a good crowd and there was line to order. After checking out the menu, we decided to get lunch here. Menu is simple with three meat and one veggie pita sandwiches, which could be made as a salad as well, sides, a salad and a soup, beverages and Greek yogurt. You place your order at the counter and find a seat and your order is brought out to you. A server brought a carafe of water and glasses to our table. Our food came out within five minutes. I had the Vande Rose Farms Pork Shoulder pita sandwich, which had spit-fired pork, minted Greek yogurt, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices and feta cheese. It was very tasty as all the ingredients complemented the pork. I would get this again. Friends had the Lamb leg pita and the Firebird all-natural chicken pita and they enjoyed their sandwiches. By 12:30, the restaurant was about half-empty as the lunch crowd headed back to work. Workers were friendly and with the delicious food, I would be back if in the area.

Alma's Hot and Spicy was also a winner, as was the Giants. Kudos for having simple sandwiches with the option to make as weird and customizable as is reasonable! I have only ever gotten delivery because it is far away, but I am very happy with the accuracy of the orders and artistry in each sandwich. Thank you!

I've been to Dolores Deluxe a couple times now and it has always astounded me…read more What may seem like a small little sandwich shop actually houses some of the most unique flavor combinations I've ever seen. Not only are the sandwiches good, but they are unlike any sandwiches I've had before. The menu sometimes changes but they've never missed. I also absolutely recommend getting their chocolate chip cookie, truly one of the best in the city. Just a note it can get quite busy, so estimate about 20 minutes to get your sandwich especially around lunchtime. But it's most definitely worth the wait.

I met here with a friend, and inside is similar to a corner store. They have shelves of pantry items. There is also indoor and outdoor seating. We ordered at the front, and I learned that the sandwiches are prepared at a different location. I was unable to ask for a bread substitute due to this, so it is good to keep in mind that asking for changes may be difficult. I enjoyed my sandwich at the park, and it was good! The tuna had a bit of heat, and every bite had lots of flavor. It was a bit of a heavier sandwich with the oily focaccia and potato chips. I'm happy I was able to try it!
