I stopped by for a quick bite because I always saw this place when I was in the area. The host was friendly and attentive. The chicken pizza was flavorful, hot, and crispy on the bottom and tender on top. Also, the drink had a nice sweet flavor with a kick to it. I saved half of the pizza to take to a friend. However, when I was going to the train station their was a homeless man asking for food with his dog. So I decided to give him the other half of my chicken pizza for from Souvlaki and he was so thankful and tore it up with a smile. I will come back and try other options on the menu, hence the 4 star rating . read more

The food is good when they remember your order correctly. I order from them and 90% of the time my order is wrong, missing items or just completely incorrect. Prices are also higher here that all other Greek places read more

Absolutely incredible experience. The food here almost brought me to tears because it reminded me so much of my grandmothers. The space is absolutely beautiful. Everyone working at Souvlaki GR was so sweet. The drinks were fabulous. The star dishes were the slow cooked lamb and Greek salad. The lamb and potatoes were just beyond. The Greek salad had incredibly crispy and fresh veggies. Overall a 12/10 experience and I will absolutely return the next time I am in New York. read more

This was overall okay, I personally was not a huge fan. I got the Pastitsio, and it was a bit underwhelming. I felt that the amount of cheese on top, and very little pasta and meat was a huge component of this. I think I would try something else if I came here a second time, but I would recommend this dish to anyone who likes the heavy cheese-type pf pasta dishes. The service was good though, and there was plenty of seating!! read more

I got a variety of items from here for takeout and I thought everything was really delicious. The Avgolemono soup was super thick and creamy and I almost wish it had a little bit more acidity. I got the prassjni and that was OK but pretty big portions. The chicken and potatoes were very saucy and juicy but the highlight of the show was the pastistio. The layers of bechamel were so delicious and I think it's a must get dish. read more

Souvlaki GR - Assorted takeout - Greek Near Me - New York, New York

From the moment you step foot in this place, it feels like you're transported to a Greek island. I was over the moon to find this place. The food, the vibes, the servers all feel so Greek and it's amazing. It's like a little slice of Greece right in the middle of Manhattan. The food was excellent and reasonably priced. I'm 1/16 greek I'm only knocking it down one star because it took a little long for the food to come out and it seemed like they might have forgotten part of the order. Otherwise, it was fantastic and I can't wait to bring my family back next time they're in town. read more

Following a poetry open-mic hunger pangs strike with the added disclaimer that I skipped lunch and breakfast inadvertently earlier in the day. Saturday afternoon with a party of two for late lunch summons Greek cuisine in Lower East Side, Manhattan, NY. It was rather quiet with few patrons and no wait is needed. The atmospheric ambiance revolves the Greek national flag colors blue and white resemble a Greek Isle. None of the wine by the glass listed on their menu pique my interest. I decided on water for my beverage which was already provided. I have minimal experience with Greek cuisine, but I have always enjoyed a nicely stuffed gyro or chicken skewers. Our server Elisa H. was somewhat pushy as she collected our plates while I was still consuming my entree, but my dinning buddy finished his meal. Neither of us ordered an appetizer, side dish, specials, nor alcohol. Augh, can I finish the remnants of my entree as it literally is the one piece for the last bite... even Jesus finished his last meal for the Last Supper!! There were no dinning patrons flooding the restaurant standing waiting for a table, ergo what is the rush? We spent most of our time discussing artists whose performance or poetic reading lack energy as unenthusiastic without zealous depicting a despondent and lackadaisical personality. Price is reasonable and aligns to 2025 inflation era as considered the new normal. Takeout menus are available for grabs. The circular tables are intensely small to fend an intimate dinning experience with your party. Souvlaki Pita $8.75 + add shrimp $2.00 = $10.75 Pita wrapped with tomato chunks, red onions, fries, Tazatziki sauce and shrimp. The pita bread was very fresh and soft. Unfortunately, I did not carefully read the menu as there were French fries in this pita gyro which was intensely weird. The contents were very minimal for a stuffed gyro. There were no lettuce. I like the red onions which was very minimal, but enhanced the flavor and the shrimp were small size. The Tazatziki sauce was average flavor. In general the pita gyro ate my fill as I always enjoy pita wraps. Garides Saganaki $25.00 Sautéed shrimp skillet with green peppers, Feta cheese, tomato sauce and Ouzo. The pita bread were very fresh cut into triangle shape. The shrimp were, thankfully, not swimming in tomato sauce for the appearance of tomato soup. Souroti sparkling water $9.00 read more

Came here today for a Sunday brunch between 12:30 pm and 1 pm and we will not return. The service and quality were truly lacking. Upon entering, we were seated with different menus on our table. The lunch specials were appealing however when our waiter came to our table, he said that it was for weekdays only and the menu next to it was for dinner that took place after 4 pm. Then he went into the details of the dinner menu which was weird since it's the weekend and we are here for brunch during brunch hours. When we let our waiter know that we're here for brunch and asked for his recommendation, he just quickly pointed through the items on the menu and said this and that is good and he has them all the time and he's used to them... which was just weird. So one of my friends took his recommendation and ordered the Spanakopita, which she thought was a pie, but when it came out, it was 3 small dumplings that were only fitting for a snack. My other friend and I ordered the pita wrap, one with chicken and another with Shrimp, the quality of the pita was just horrible and the sauce was salty. My friend ended up just having the shrimp in her pita. I had better pita wrap elsewhere. The worst brunch ever!! The service and quality were so bad! Will not return and do not recommend it. The midtown location is better. This location is trash. read more

Stopped by Souvlaki GR for a light bite, it was a warm April day so we were able to even sit outside! Note they still have an outside covered shack, which is directly across the street from Carnegie Hall. The outdoor shack was not busy, there was only 2 other tables. I felt the service was lacking, waited quite a bit for the server to place our order. I ordered the spanakopita and the gigantes. The spanakopita was definitely homemade, it was entirely filled with spinach, my favorite! Additionally, I also got the gigantes, which was also delicious! Overall, the food was delicious, the service is questionable. But for the gigantes and spanakopita, I will definitely be coming back read more

Ambience: feels like you're on a Greek island. Yes, the tables can be a little cramped, but that makes it even more authentic. They do have a cute table that's up 2-3 stairs in a private alcove that would be perfect for date night/ intimate gatherings Would make a reservation for large groups (anything over 6) it does get busy during peak hours Service: excellent. Food comes out quick, glasses were always full and we never felt pressured/rushed. Food: Must order -Octopus - dips: spicy cheese, fava - lamb chops (perfectly cooked) - kolokithokeftedes - sausage - loukoumades/ honey puff balls Many of the meals come with pita, tzatziki sauce. Great selection of wine/alcohol as well Price: very reasonable for the quality of the food. Would definitely come back here for a souvlaki sandwich for lunch / full meal for dinner Highly recommend checking them out! read more

Very pleased with my delivery order! I chose a few skewers (chicken, pork, beef), along with fries and the melitzanosalata. The pork skewer was my favorite, followed closely by the chicken. The beef one, while good, was not quite what I was craving (I was in the mood for beef chunks vs a meatball texture). The fries were good with a nice Greek seasoning - and the melitzanosalata paired well with all of the food. The portion of pita they provided was more than enough! Would definitely recommend for a quick but hearty meal. read more

We walked in and ordered take out. We had to wait a bit for our food, so if you're in a rush I would maybe try to order in advance. The restaurant was beautifully decorated and not busy. I got the chicken pita sandwich, which was nicely wrapped so that it stayed together. The pita was soft, and there was a good balance of tomato, red onions, fries, feta, filling, and it was enough for me with an order of fries. The fries were expensive, not crispy, and not worth it. I would come back for the sandwich, but not the fries. read more

Original plan was Katz but the line was too long, wandered around and came up to this place. Been craving a pita/ gyro and this place delivered. Had a steak pita and lamb pita about $8 each, which i could have just had one and been satisfied. They were both loaded with seasoned fries, meat, veggies and tzatziki sauce. Also thought I'd have some greens and ordered their Greek salad....This thing was massive!! Easily 2 could have this, very good olives, feta and all the fixins. Very solid place that I'd happily come back to! read more

I am in town for work and I recall seeing this cute Greek restaurant It was late when we wrapped for the day....i checked online and Souvlaki was open still! I walked over from Hotel Indigo, walked in and was warmly greeted by Andreas. I need to mention I worked for a Greek family when I was younger and I very much missed so much about them and their restaurant. Speaking to Andreas was like the nostalgia returned. I ordered spanakopita, a Greek salad and a drink. I knew from the atmosphere, music, and overall conversation that this was authentic and anticipated my dinner. I thank Andreas and took a menu with me. I am now absolutely enjoying everything about my meal. I didn't want heavy so the spanakopita was nice - light with spinach cheese and dill, these were made in house for sure! The Greek salad absolutely amazing all ingredients fresh and the feta was creamy and high quality. Herbs used were I am definitely returning here soon as we are here for the week. I am so glad I went in tonight. If your local or in town for pleasure or business please visit Andreas and everyone at Souvlaki you will be so delighted you did! read more

Pretty solid greek spot. I've done delivery a few times and sent to dine in once. I didn't have a reservation but was able to get a table, though it was pretty packed. They have the standard casual greek fare-- pitas, salads, skewers, as well as a cocktail menu which is a nice change. I tried the athenian spritz and it was lovely. It's slightly more expensive than I'm accustomed to for this sort of food but perhaps that is just New York being New York! Regardless, I am a consistent returning customer! read more

Feels like you're I'm someone home in Greece...love it.. food delicious, staff amazing, drinks fantastic

Randomly stopped by this place because I couldn't make it back to Westchester without eating. I'm a sucker for Mediterranean food. Soooo glad I stopped. Here are the deets. Pros: --very intimate and cute dining room --I can't speak for my service overall, but I liked my waitress. She was helpful in assisting me with selection of food choices. --my food was excellent. I ordered a large appetizer, and an entree, so I had plenty left over for lunch today. --the spicy feta, tzatziki, lemon potatoes, and meatballs were fantastic. Cons: --parking in that area is terrible, so keep that in mind. --the hummus was disappointing. Unfortunately, that seems common across most Greek restaurants I've eaten at in NY. Overall: I hope to return, and would recommend this spot to others. read more

Got the gyro and Greek fries, both were pretty good but not outstanding. I've been to the other location in midtown, and in my opinion, that location tastes better. The gyro was flavorful, but a little cold. The fries were crispy, but the cheese flavors didn't not really blend. read more

TLDR; - Was pretty quiet on Saturday around 12:30PM despite other brunch places in the area requiring a 2-3 hour wait. - Food was decent and service was pretty good, they serve LOTS of pita bread to go along with the dishes - We ordered the meat platter, a Greek salad, and pita with dips - For a party of 3, they added an 18% gratuity on top - I would come back as a safe choice, but this wouldn't be a top choice Food - Very good. The meat can be a bit salty but it was tasteful. It wasn't a 10/10 mouth watering experience, but the food was definitely good - The pita dips are good and they are VERY generous with the dips. You can then use these dips for other dishes you order, so would be a good strategic app to order! Service - Very good, the waiter was very friendly and was Greek himself, which added a layer of authenticity - Food came out decently quick and they would refill our water Ambiance - The interior is made of stone, with blue wooden windows decorated. It felt like we were transported to Greece - There were a bunch of fans in there for circulation, which kept the room cool. I initially felt it was too in my face when sitting down but noticed it less as I was eating - Bathroom was clean, which is key! read more

Yes to the pitas here! No matter the protein, you can't go wrong. We ordered takeout, and the two pitas I got (pork and arni/lamb) were still crispy and delicious when they arrived. There was a good portion of flavourful meat, with onion, tomato, and fries inside the wrap as well. These were great and two of them was enough to fill me up! At $8 for pork and $10 for lamb, that's a satisfying meal for a satisfying price. We also ordered a quarter kilo of pork chops, which is less than I'd recommend for an average meal size - but that was on us for choosing the small option. They were pretty tender and had good char. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this place! The pitas are delicious - I'm going to find time to come back for those at some point for sure. read more

In order of my experience The atmosphere here was so calming, a haven in the city. Beautiful colors, and even the restroom was nice. Music was not too loud and our waiter was very attentive. He brought us water right away, and gave us plenty of time to browse the menu. Definitely did not feel rushed to decide, but he stayed nearby so when I put my menu down he came over to take our order. We ordered meatballs, lemon potatoes, chicken kebab with pita, and an extra side of tzatziki. This cost 39$ if I remember right, they may have added gratuity automatically. We were so full by the end of it and the food was wonderful. Very fresh and cooked to perfection, all the flavors were vibrant, textures great, and the pita was probably the best I've had. Paying our bill was very quick and easy, we didn't have to wait forever for our card to be returned. If you're in the area I definitely recommend stopping here. read more

This review is for takeout. The food was great. My favorite was the souvlaki pita. I would pass on the kalamakia skewer platter next time. It wasn't worth $28.

Authentically charming place to eat. Little hanging lights, a "cobblestone" street and many blue accents so you feel you're dining seaside in a Greek town. The Athenian spritzer was a refreshing pair to the loukaniko pita, which is Greek sausage in a pita with fries. Surprisingly affordable choice on the menu and it was delicious! I'd definitely come back here. read more

Got gyros, pita and a Greek salad. Gyros and pita were both incredible- but the Greek salad was expensive and awful. The bowl appeared to be two whole tomatoes that were each chopped into 4-5 pieces, with like 3 olives total and 5 slices of cucumber. So the bowl as a whole was like 60% plain tomato. Highly recommend the pitas, but skip the salad. read more

Solid spot in the lower east side! If you come on the weekend be sure to make a reservation, it really fills up with larger parties but we were able to snag a table in the semi outdoor area before it got busy! The dip trio is always a solid move but I'd skip the hummus next time! It didn't have a ton of flavor. The tzatziki tasted fresh and had lots of herbs, the spicy feta dip isn't really spicy but has good flavor. I was happy to see they put the pitas on the sit down menu instead of just the take out menu, I got the chicken pita and it comes with fries inside! It's the perfect size after filling up on dips and apps! We also split the Greek salad which had a good amount of feta but a ton of tomatoes! The tomatoes were not 100% in season so didn't have a ton of flavor but were still good. They also have some fun cocktails on the menu! read more
