    Baklava and honey soft serve
    Es F.

    Big enough to share and great parklet right outside. Crumble didn't taste like baklava but it was still sweet to balance the tart soft serve. Staff is super friendly!

    Baklava Crumbles & Syrup
    Reeven S.

    My friends have always hyped this place up for a while now and I finally tried it. And they're right. Absolutely delicious. I am not the biggest fan of salad, but the pork salad was delectable. It had a great mix taste of savory, tanginess, and saltiness. Perfect blend of textures from the crunchy cucumber and lettuce to the tenderness of the pork. For the dessert, the baklava crumbles and honey was simply addicting. Yogurt was extremely soft and silky. The baklava crumbles added a great crunch and of course, the honey syrup uplifted the sweetness to a perfect level. The restaurant's space is pretty limited, so it might be difficult to be seated during prime dining hours. There was a constant flow of customers when we dined in and seats were never empty. The hype is rightfully deserved!

    We did a work order for 14 people and let me say. It was my first time and I'm for sure going to explore their menu! I got their lamb wrap? And the lemon chicken rice soup. I loved them both! Super pro was every order was labeled with our name and everyone got their orders right!

    I enjoyed my lunch at Souvla! I got the veg sweet potato salad, and it was yummy. The portion was very generous and filling. My friends also loved their sandwiches and the Greek fries. My friends also ordered the frozen yogurt with baklava for dessert, and said it was some of the best frozen yogurt they've ever had. As for the ambience, it's a small, casual spot without much seating, but it's cute. The service was good and food came out quick. I enjoyed it!

    We went during happy hour so I was able to get a glass of wine for $10. We also ordered the chicken salad, a side of greek fries, and a lamb sandwich. Everything was so delicious and well seasoned. The salad was refreshing with some mandarin and kale and cheese. My favorite were the fries also well seasoned and crispy with really yummy mizithra cheese. The service was really fast and staff were really nice. This location is a little small but cozy nonetheless and they had some outdoor seating as well. They also have froyo that I was not able to try because i was so full but looked good and I will def try next time

    Veg Sandwich Lamb Sandwich Greek Fries

    We ordered the veg sandwich, lamb sandwich, and Greek fries. All delicious. There are 3-4 tables for indoor seating, so it can feel a little tight. But, there is some outdoor seating as well if you're willing to brave the cold. Only a short wait to order. This is a popular spot for take out. The ice cream machine is currently broken, so hoping to review that next time.

    Lamb Salad
    Megan U.

    This is a really good non-appetizer/side salad. It's actually filling enough to be a meal, and had enough lamb to make the price worth it. For fifty cents more, you can get the "hot sauce" on the side which is really just a spicy vinegar dressing. I'd highly recommend trying that if you're not usually a salad-as-a-meal person. The ice cream machine was broken on 4/12/26 which was a bit sad. There are a few shared tables inside and it's self-seating.

    The outside seating was very nice as it was in a cluster of other shops and restaurants. The service was very nice and friendly and our food did not have a long wait at all! The chicken salad was very flavorful and the mandarins gave it the perfect touch of sweet! Overall would recommend to anyone in the area

    Chicken salad
    Calli Y.

    This place was recommended to me so we actually came here twice. It's a limited menu but everything looked clean and was yummy. It's a small location so you may have to look around for a seat. i tried both salads and both were good. I also had a side of sweet potatoes which was simple but sweet. The greek yogurt is a must try. SYOY!

    Mary's Free Range Chicken sandwich
    Phil N.

    This is a little greek inspired place on Chestnut. The queue was always about 3 deep at this order at the counter spot, but the food arrived quickly, the tables were clean and bussed. The ambiance is that of a nice quick service spot. Decor was nice but it was packed. The chicken sandwich and salad were large, well seasoned and flavorful

    Half Chicken, Fries, and Harissa sauce
    Christina J.

    I've had Souvla salads many times- you can't go wrong- they are so big and delicious. But this time, my husband and I split the half chicken with fries and harissa sauce. It was so juicy and flavorful. You can see the chickens actively rotisering, not sure how I didn't order one before today. Our waiter Christos was so so kind and generous - he made our experience even more pleasant. And don't skip on the frozen Greek yoghurt- we love the baklava and the honey one- the olive oil and salt one was too savory and salty for us personally.

    Chicken Sandwich
    Braeden H.

    Got the chicken sandwich and potatoes as well as a Greek yogurt with baklava and honey. I felt like I was mostly just tasting the orange slices in the sandwich which I didn't like. Potatoes mainly tasted like oil without much extra seasoning. The Greek yogurt is pretty sour, but I could definitely see how someone would really like it if that's your thing. Unfortunately, I think they forgot to add any honey. The woman who helped me was very nice. Probably will come back and try some different items

    Greek Fries
    Kamy T.

    Came here on a warmer day in the city and there was a long line out the door, but most were takeout orders. The menu is quite simple but you're free to customize the items with a different dressing etc. We ordered the frozen yogurt with our other food but we asked to get it later when we were about to leave so it wouldn't melt. The cashier was nice to even let us try the flavors! The portions are quite sizeable and you can taste there is quality in the ingredients. The salad had great flavor and was very refreshing. The pita wrap with the chicken had a lighter flavor, but was still good. The meat was tender in both. Fries were crispy and fresh (we didn't get a sauce though, but I would recommend it). We used the hot sauce on the table. Our frozen yogurt seemed a bit small for the price but was delicious.

The rice was perfect: real longer grained basmati, delicately spiced, with hints a saffron. I loved the roasted tomato, raw onions, cilantro, & mint leaves. Of course plenty of lavash. Easily a 4.5. I'd give a 5, but my wife said her chicken was a little dry. Still tasty, especially with her rice that had raisins, dates, & lentils. Maybe nit picking, but overall good. The Napoleon with a scoop of raspberry ice cream was excellent. This Napoleon wasn't so creamy, but more about layers of cake. More complex than the usual variant. I'm a fan. The drinks were on point. Great ambiance & waiter. Great portions & value for this level of quality. Lavash takes pride in what they do. We will be back for great Persian cuisine.

It is not a sit-down restaurant and doesn't pretend to be. What it is, is consistently excellent food at prices that still make sense in a city where that's getting rare. We're regulars, and we usually go on Sunday evenings after my girlfriend gets off work. Falafel wrap and chicken shawarma are our usual order -- the falafel has that crisp-shell, tender-middle thing going, and the wraps are generously built. We've branched out plenty and everything we've tried has been good. The other reason we keep showing up is the people. Turna usually takes our order, and she is genuinely lovely -- friendly in a way that isn't a customer-service script. My girlfriend and I always walk out in a better mood than we walked in with, which is worth a lot. Practical notes: halal, lots of vegetarian and vegan-friendly options, open until midnight Fri/Sat, and they cater. Grab some napkins if you're eating the wrap on the move -- it's a big one, and that's a compliment.

I also like seeing all the spices displayed near the kitchen. It gives the place some character and always makes me want to cook more. Parking nearby can be difficult, especially for takeout, so going with someone who can wait in the car or using public transportation or rideshare may be easier. Food, service, and atmosphere have all been a 5 out of 5 for me. I'll definitely be back later in 2026.

    Visiting Kokkari Estiatorio had been on my restaurant bucket list for years, and when it was my…read moreturn to choose a spot for our celebratory team lunch, no one was opposed to dining at Kokkari Estiatorio. I booked our table about a month in advance, which turned out to be the right move because the restaurant was bustling during the lunch hour. To start, we ordered four small plates to share among our party of four: meatballs, saganaki, spanakotiropita, and a pair of dips (melitzanosolata and favasalata) with pita. Everything was excellent, and our spread was inclusive of a wide variety of flavors and textures: salty, creamy, acidic, sweet, crunchy. The meatballs and the dips are definitely a must-order and are ideal for sharing. The spanakotiropita were larger and more filling than expected, so if I were to order those again, I'd dial it back and stick with small plates rather than a full-sized entree. The saganaki was a showstopper; it is served sizzling and crackling on a cast iron dish and had a nice salty flavor that allowed the cheese to be served on its own. For my main dish, I ordered the braised goat - which is not something I'd typically order because goat meat is usually tough - but I was intrigued how it was prepared as a stew. The dish almost reminded me of a Moroccan tagine - the goat was braised to peak tenderness and bathed in a slightly fruity and well-spiced sauce; dotted with pieces of melted feta; and served on top of a bed of baked orzo, which was served fresh-from-the oven in a mini cast iron dish. I was so full after our meal that I had to walk it off for a few blocks, but I cannot wait for our next special occasion so we can come back and celebrate with another feast at Kokkari Estiatorio.

    I've been here before and as always, the food was delicious and the atmosphere was lovely, with…read morewarm lighting and pleasant music, and that beautiful and characteristic fish plate, which I love! However, I noticed a difference in the service this time. The server and food runners seemed disengaged, lacking warmth and attentiveness.

When we left they forgot our left overs, and it was almost the complete Moussaka. i have to say the Feta tou fournou and Ravioli were delicious. And on top of the food, the wine selection is top notch.

Chocolate mousse cake was decadent and moist. 4/5 Beautiful presentation on the plating of our food, though the timing for the food wasn't quite right as a few plates were served room temperature and not hot.
