“ The food here is very delicious! I work nearby and often order pick up from here and every time the food is amazing. I typically order pitas and could recommend any of them--they're all amazing even the veggie pita. The hummus here is some of the best and I love it so much every single time. I highly recommend their lamb chops they're super tasty with lemon and their tzatziki which is, you guessed it, bomb! There's just so much I can recommend honestly. I have dined in the restaurant as well which is very cozy but I do prefer takeout honestly. Regardless the food is delicious so that's the most important part. ”
“ Another amazing meal here! Portions huge, prices fair, great for sharing, tasty, healthy, delicious, and perfect pre theatre! Will be back for sure! ”
“ It is a lovely little gem near Central Park! It is nicely decorated, and the food was super tasty! We had a feta pie, some dips, and chicken souvlaki--everything was super tasty! I loved the souvlaki!! The service was quick and friendly, and prices were fair. I would return! ”
“ I came here for lunch with a co-worker and they gave us the option to sit in the back or front. The tables were small and packed closely together so it was a bit tight but we managed. We tried the fava bean dip which was creamy. Also got a chickpea salad for an appetizer which was a good size and packed with chickpeas and a light dressing. I got a lamb pita wrap and my co-worker got what looked like 2 giant meatballs. It looked like sliders without the bun which was interesting but he enjoyed it. They also gave all the tables a complimentary piece of dessert though it was wayyyy too sweet for me as it was basically biting into honey but it was a nice gesture. ”
“ Definitely my go to place when I visit NYC. First time trying this location as I have been to the lower east side location. The kontosouvlj definitely was not authentic since it was in the oven but I asked in Greek and the server gave me a heads up but said it was still good... I agree it was delicious even though my heart was set on grilled pork cube vibes. The salad reminds me of the salads in Greece!! And the fries were yummy! The baklava was so fresh!! Will be back next year and the service was exceptional!! Thanks for a great meal Souvlaki GR. Keep saying that San Diego has no good Greek and they would definitely be a popular place if they ever decide to come to california!! ”
“ There is lots to love about Greek Food. For one, it is tested with time like few cuisines are. The meals are a combination of classic ingredients that is very difficult to rival: red onions and cucumbers in the Greek salad, zucchini in deep fried fashion within kolokithokeftedes, pork and feta if all of the initial items is not enough. Just good things. This small spot is incredibly popular and for a great reason. It is friendly, energetic and the food is very, very satisfying. The Greek salad is a portion that can easily be shared by two. The greek meatballs are nice and crispy. The kolokithokeftedes, or zucchini fritters are not the best preparation of this classic dish of Santorini, but still pleasant and the sauce is great. Chicken skewer is an absolute must, perhaps paired with lemon potatoes. The pork stuffed with feta and spinach may have been the less favorite part of the meal, the tomato sauce just did not work with the dish for my taste, also ruining the presentation of the stuffed goodness. Yet it's the people, like our Argentinian bartender, who are just awesome here. Everybody tries very hard, is kind and despite being fully committed, they offered to accommodate at the bar with a short wait. Souvlaki GR is a wonderful place. ”
“ Cute small cozy greek restaurant. Service is friendly and staff is helpful and kind. Food is tasty and not super fancy but it is great for a casual dinner with good friends. ”
“ This place was adorable and no longer felt like we were in the bustling cities of New York and we were now in an oasis of Greece. The service was great. Everyone was very kind and very attentive to our needs. The food was great. We started off with the hummus spread that was very fresh, and it came with pita and cucumbers. I ordered the lamb shank, which was delicious very soft, juicy and filled with flavor. We also tried their two desserts, baklava, and Greek yogurt with honey both very delicious and light. Totally would come back!!! There was a line out the door so make a reservation!!! ”
“ Incredible Greek food!! We loved everything we ordered. The only problem was that it was painfully loud inside during lunch on a weekday. We return at a less busy time ”
“ We got here 45 minutes before closing and they were kind enough to get us seated. The place is pretty cramped and you're seated close to other tables. First thing we got was the Tyrokafteri dip (3.5/5) with pita. This was not spicy at all and was actually pretty salty. It was a nice appetizer but I wish it wasn't so salty. Then we got the chicken gyros (4/5), one with the spicy feta and one with the regular sauce. And again, neither one was spicy. Eveurbitj else was good though, chicken had good flavor, fresh vegetables, good pita. ”
