Souvla - Avgolemono Soup and Snake River Farms Pork Shoulder Salad - Greek Near Me - San Francisco, California

People always rave about this place so I finally decided to stop in. I did enjoy the flavours and the tenderness of the pork was spot on. The "sandwich" is actually a pita wrap so don't expect easy sharing and it was overly oily for my taste. I would suggest getting the salad with the dressing on the side because it was drenched. I'll check it out again now that I know how to order and will update the review accordingly. read more

The vegan lamb is unique, delicious and plentiful! Getting it on their salad is really good. Appreciate their vegan/vegetarian options. It feels both healthy, hearty and without sacrifice. read more

This was sooooo delicious! As a Belgian, I don't say this often but those were some of the best fries I have had since moving to San Francisco. There were perfectly crispy and well seasoned (10/10 recommend). The chicken sandwich was also perfect! (I loved the nectarine inside, made the sandwich taste really fresh)! The food was ready within minutes of us getting there and the staff was very friendly! read more

Souvla - Mary's Free-Range Chicken Sandwich - Greek Near Me - San Francisco, California

To say I love Souvla is an understatement, I especially love their Avgolemono soup. Well, I'd say the last 4 times I've gotten it, there hasn't been any rice, maybe a few pieces but definitely not enough for the menu to say Traditional egg-lemon soup with chicken AND rice. So I ordered it this last time (always to go) and actually talked to a wonderfully kind person behind the counter and he said he'd look into it. Got home with my order and the soups I ordered again, very little rice. What's happening Souvla?? I hate even writing this review and taking off one star. In a city where food is extremely expensive and bland and the service is meh, Souvla stands out, it feels like the staff actually like you and the food is so delicious and yummy. So why Souvla? Why? read more

Should you eat here? Yes. I used to come here all of the time (once a week at least) but got out of the habit during the pandemic because they were closed for a long time. Last week I came back and had a lamb salad, which felt like healthy(ish) comfort food. The menu is very basic. There are four items, lamb, chicken, pork or yams. You can have them in pita form or salad form. All meats are spit roasted hypnotically in front of your very eyes. There are potatoes that catch all of the drippings or you can get french fries. There are giant cups of tangy fro yo with cherry or baklava toppings. For some reason these are served in classic NYC deli coffee cups. I am from NY and this is endearing for me. The menu never changes, so sometimes I get sick of it and have to take a break. But I always come back. Now my kids love it too. There is an outpost of Souvla in almost ever neighborhood in SF. The food is wildly consistent. And always delicious. read more

I think there's definitely room for improvement for this review in case I come back. I ordered some Greek fries to go because I was starving. I've had Souvla from the NoPa location and the food from that location was delicious. The fries from this location didn't have as many toppings as I expected like the NoPa location. I can update this review though once I have a full meal at this location. But 3 stars for the fries. read more

Souvla - So kind - Greek Near Me - San Francisco, California

For our weekly office lunch, I decided to give Souvla another shot. (I tried a sandwich from another location and wasn't super impressed.) Our delivery order arrived via Caviar on Friday, January 18th around 12 noon. Lamb Salad: Spit-roasted Superior Farms leg of lamb with harissa-spiked yogurt, cucumber, radish, pickled red onion, and feta cheese over kale and romaine lettuce ($15) *Yogurt Dressing on the Side *Add Side Souvla Hot Sauce (+$0.50) This was so much better! (I am more of a salad girl, so I guess that makes sense.) The dish had a good amount of ingredients. And it was huge! I couldn't even finish it. And I can eat a fair amount of salad. The lamb had a nice roast and good flavor. Went well with the yogurt. I don't remember being a huge fan of the dressing, but I just ate everything with the yogurt. Kept the veggies pure and added a nice creaminess. There must be a reason they have so many locations. They must be doing something right. Glad I finally tried a salad. Changed my mind about Souvla in general. read more

Souvla - Lamb Salad: leg of lamb, harissa-spiked yogurt, cucumber, radish, red onion, feta cheese, kale, romaine lettuce ($15), Hot Sauce (+$0.50) - Greek Near Me - San Francisco, California

A filling, modern play on Greek food. Even though the menu selection feels like it's short, everything still sounds so good. Try not to get too full though because you'll need to save room for the famous Greek yogurt soft serve! COVID protocols have all staff in masks and patrons have the option to sit inside (entryway door is open) or on the street front patio. CHICKEN SALAD (5/5) $16 I was so full after eating this enormous salad. Chicken portion is very generous and meat is tender. The greens were of nice assortment and the red pickles add a delightful crunch. I prefer my sauces to the side,so you can request that too if that's your thing. BAKLAVA GREEK YOGURT (5/5) $6 The star of the show! I'm so glad I asked the cashier to split our 1 order into two portions. The baklava topping was still very generous even between two people, and we took it to go while we walked to Mission Dolores Park. It tasted like a creamy cobbler pie, where the sugary sweetness of the baklava is balanced with the slight tartness from the Greek yogurt. Street parking is tough unless you're lucky enough to find a spot, but it's free of charge on Sundays. Overall, solid pick and would definitely come back for lunch again. read more

Great ambiance for lunch time, lively yet still able to hear one another when speaking. I typically get the lamb sandwich; well cooked with vegetables and crème Greek yogurt as well as feta cheese, wrapped with pita. Fulfilling and gets me going for the rest of the day. I am beginning to make this a weekly lunch spot on my day off. The chicken wrapped sandwich is good as well. I have yet to try the Greek yogurts, I'm practically on a Mediterranean diet at this point. Service is pretty quick as well. I'll be back read more

Finally tried the famous Greek frozen yogurt with baklava crumble and honey! I was pleasantly surprised by how smooth and tart the froyo was -- not overly sweet and a refreshing change from what I'm used to. The baklava and honey combo helps add a bit of sweetness but I do wish there was a tad bit more honey. Overall so yummy and a nice portion size read more

Souvla - frozen yogurt with Baklava Crumbles and Honey Syrup - Greek Near Me - San Francisco, California

This review is all about the Greek fro yo!!!! 5/5, compliments to the chef (or I guess, fro yo machine.) We ate dinner at their Hayes location but their fro yo machine was down, so we drove to this location in Mission to get the famous Souvla Greek yogurt for dessert! I ordered it with baklava crumbles and honey syrup, and let me just say it is JUST SO GOOD. The yogurt is smooth, tart, and refreshing. It doesn't taste like greek yogurt in the usual type that you get at grocery stores, but more like plain tart flavored fro yo. The baklava crumbles and honey was the right about of sweetness, and I wish I could eat more. I would highly recommend- maybe next time I'll try it with olive oil and sea salt! read more

Souvla - Baklava Crumbles and Honey Syrup - Greek Near Me - San Francisco, California

We were in the area and craving something sweet so thankfully this popped up as a favorite! Food looked absolutely delicious and we'll be back for lunch/dinner. The vibes were exciting/lively and people just seemed to be having a great time. I really liked their open door concept which connected the inside to the outside of the restaurant. Interior was clean and organized and with lots of seating! We ordered their frozen Greek yogurt and it really did exceed my expectations. I've seen it a couple times on my social media and have personally heard many many great reviews. Yogurt was tart, creamy, yet light and refreshing. I really liked how the dessert wasn't really sweet which is always nice. The baklava crumble and honey syrup that it came with paired perfectly and gave it just the right amount of crunch. Workers were very attentive and even encouraged us to sit down and enjoy our treat. Water is also self served with their glassware. There is paid parking about a block away! read more

Souvla - Greek Near Me - San Francisco, California

I picked up Souvla right before going to SFO and what a great idea it was! I expected Souvla to be more fast casual, but the cute interior surprised me! It could be a great spot for a cheapish date or girls' night! I got the Pork Shoulder Sandwich for $12. The pork was very tender and juicy! The veggies (tomato, onion, cucumber) were all fresh and crispy. My only gripe is that the sandwich wasn't wrapped too tightly and fell apart about halfway through. I will say that my sandwich was a little pricey for its contents, but delicious nonetheless. I tried some of my friend's Greek Yogurt and it was so delicious! Loved the baklava crumbles on top! I'd definitely get this next time! read more

Quality ingredients, healthy but delicious, and reasonable (by SF standards, anyway) prices. I've been to Souvla a few times and so far tried their Chicken Salad ($15), Greek Fries ($5), and their Frozen Yogurt ($4-5). The fries and frozen yogurt are to die for - the fries are perfectly crispy and flavorful, and the frozen yogurt is so refreshing. The chicken salad is also very solid - fresh, healthy ingredients but still very delicious. Definitely worth a try. read more

Souvla has become a favorite of mine for when I want Greek. Well, to be honest I crave their Greek frozen yogurt, which are to die for. Their Greek salad's are simple and delicious available in chicken, pork and lamb. The salad's can also be made into a wrap as well. Souvla makes a hot sauce that pairs well with their salad and I kid you not, my friend and I usually finish an entire bottle as we keep pouring it into our salad bowls. Not that the salad's lack flavor, just that their hot sauce is really good. Oh you can also buy their hot sauce if you want to eat it at home. Now about their frozen yogurt; it comes in a blue and white cup with soft serve like swirl at the top, well just as you would see with soft serve ice cream in general. However, Greek frozen yogurt is, given the right toppings is a delicious alternative to ice cream. I usually opt for the classic honey drizzle, but other options include baklava honey crumb, and a deep red cherry sauce. Souvla has multiple locations in San Francisco: Valencia, Hayes Valley, Divisadero, and Chestnut. Greek whenever wherever, well not wherever but more locations to choose from. read more

Feeling something healthy and satisfying? Souvla is the place to go! I like this location cause it doesn't get as crowded. Their chicken salad is a well crafted feast, with lots of fresh ingredients, my favorite of which are the orange slices, which give the salad a little bit of sweetness and tang. And the salad is customizable as well. I like to order with kale instead of lettuce and dressing on the side to control the calories. read more

As my friend and I were in the area, we decided to stop by to see what all the hype was about. We wanted something sweet and salty, so we ordered the Greek fries and baklava crumbles & honey syrup frozen greek yogurt. We had the brilliant idea of dipping the fries in the soft serve and oh man... it was amazing. If you're into the fries + ice cream combo, definitely try this! The fries are so fresh and hot.. crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Topped with oil, some parsley and cheese.. the fries were absolute perfection. The frozen greek yogurt was delicious as well and I liked the texture from the baklava crumbles. This place gets pretty crowded (at least on the weekends) so you may have to wait a bit before a table opens up. There's some outdoor seating as well! Would definitely come back for those fries and greek yogurt as a quick on the go snack! read more

Souvla - Greek Near Me - San Francisco, California

One of my favorite foods in the city! I've had Souvla countless times and it's always amazing. The fries are so delicious and all of the sandwich/salad options are amazing either way. My favorite is the chicken sandwich though! The honey and baklava frozen yogurt is also so creamy and flavorful. The food is always prompt and reliable whether ordering in or to-go. There's seating inside and out at this location, but note that it's usually always busy. Don't even think about it, try it! read more

To be fair, I had takeout, and takeout generally isn't as fresh as if you were to eat it at the spot. With that said, I just wasn't a fan. I had a lamb sandwich and it tasted kind of bland. It's been very difficult to find inexpensive, quick food in SF that has consistent quality. Wanted to try them out but I don't think I will be ordering from here again. But try it for yourself! read more

Spectacular frozen yogurt! Cannot get enough of this stuff. The baklava and honey toppings are *chefs kiss*. Cool ambience and fast service as well. However, their food is a bit underwhelming. Got takeout for dinner on a Thursday night. Fries got the group's approval but the other dishes (veg salad, veg sandwich) were pretty underwhelming. I love love love lamb and am partial to mediterranean flavors so I was stoked to try their lamb sandwich. When it arrived I found there was an abundance of meat (heck yeah!) and it seemed well-dressed. Unfortunately when I actually got to eating it, the lamb didn't have too much flavor and there was basically nothing else inside the pita- all the feta crumbles and other things were decorative and on the outside. I ended up dressing it up with some homemade greek salad to give it a little liquid since it was pretty dry. I will 100% be returning for their frozen yogurt but I doubt I'll be eating anything else. Maybe I would have had better luck with their other dishes or at a different time. read more

Lousy food, unremarkable service and annoying customers... I love greek food and lamb in general and have never in my life had worse lamb than here. Very dry while also being somehow extremely greasy, I was honestly surprised such a thing was possible. Not like this is a one off either: I've been to the Valencia location (by my own choice the very fist time i tried their food) and the Divisadero location at a later point (company catered event) as well as taking free office catered souvla home (it was so bad i just tossed it out later). So yeah, the food is bad. If you have seen the restaurants, you are probably wondering why its always so busy. For that I offer you a game i play which is called 'spot the person that looks like they know good food' when going past a souvla location. Not once have I seen anyone in there i would ask for food recommendations. It's a parade of bland people talking on cellphones over their boring chicken salads. read more

Definitely be going back here. Everyone was so pleasant and helpful. A plus for me. We were here last Saturday, August 19, 2023 around 7pm Ordered their chicken salad and their lamb sandwich for my friend. The beer is to my liking. Ended ordering more beers and fries. Then, ended trying their yogurt with crushed baklava, for dessert. Price is reasonable and food proportions. I never liked kale but their version of how they prepared their salad is perfect. Cute guys / customers around. Its nice to be around with lovely cute people. Lol! read more

Low 4 stars - great delivery experience, pita/fries/sauce were super tasty, but the meat is not the best quality. CAVIAR DELIVERY: We ordered at noon on a Wednesday, and despite warnings that this was a busy time for Souvla, we got our order within 30 minutes! Plus delivery was free. * Lamb Sandwich (w/ 3 oz. extra meat, $17.00) - 3 stars The meat had a weird texture and wasn't too fresh. We ordered extra meat but wouldn't have had we known it would come in a tupperware on the side (vs in the pita). The pita is fluffy & soft, the yogurt sauce tasty. * Chicken Sandwich (w fries, $14) - 3.5 stars The chicken had a lot of cartilage and bones! It was a bit dry too. The fries were perfectly thick & crispy, and the pita nice & soft. read more

Omg their frozen Greek yogurt is so good!!! I got it with baklava. The Greek yogurt had the perfect tart flavor and it went well with the sweet and cinnamon flavored baklava.

I can't wait to come back to try their other toppings with the frozen Greek yogurt and the actual food!! read more

Can't go wrong with souvla. Love the salads and the sandwiches here, but the price has gone up. Tried all salads and sandwich except the vegetarian. Never had a bad salad/sandwich, you'll never be disappointed. The fries are also delish. If you want a quick healthy lunch or dinner that'll fill you up, Can't go wrong with souvla. read more

This restaurant stinks. Literally. I've never like the smell of boiled chicken or whatever it is they do with the poor creatures here. It's impossible to escape it in there and it stuck on me after I left when I got home. Maybe a lot of people don't even notice it. Maybe they're not attuned to it. I can't go in there. They do not provide decent vegetarian options. Their fries are kinda greasy and they sprinkle cheese on them reflexively and without awareness that customers might not want it. True I could have maybe read a little more carefully into the menu item to see that there was cheese on it. But I just think this is expressive of the generally omnivorous nature of their menu. My partner and I went in yesterday because we were looking for some French fries. They were kinda greasy, and cheesy. Maybe some people like them that way. We don't. read more

I really like Souvla but my husband thinks it's just OK. Thus, the 4 stars. I always get the lamb salad and he gets the lamb sandwich/wrap. The salad is filled with greens and meat, pretty flavorful too! I feel healthy eating it, and it's also satisfying taste-wise. For the lamb sandwich, the husband thinks it's good but worth $14 or $15. I agree, but maybe these are just SF prices and not that many other options in the city. He also thinks the lamb is a little dry. I've had better lamb wraps too, but all at places outside of SF. We'd prob come back, but can't say this makes it into the weekly rotation. read more

Souvla on Valencia has a manager, Edwin, that is such a lovely individual. I met him years ago at the Divisadero location. I am thrilled he was promoted to manager at this location. He leads a team by modeling kindness, community and customer service. The yogurt is absolutely perfect at this location. The machine seems to get it right every time I get the plain, but highly recommend trying the baklava topping. The Avgolemono soup is the best I have had anywhere in SF or in varying states that I have been. Although reviewing the Valencia location, I do want to acknowledge fabulous management by Miguel at the Divisadero location. So wherever you are in SF, a visit to Souvla will be an enjoyable and delicious experience. If you meet Edwin, Ernesto or Alexis, at Valencia, you will leave knowing you will return, and soon, because you will feel welcomed and special. read more

This place is SO good!!!! Service is great, cute store, and literally THE BEST frozen yogurt I have ever eaten. Wish there was one of these in Manhattan soooo badly. It's delicious. The best yogurt is the Sour Cherry one! Can't wait to be back in the Bay so I can go here again. read more
