No parking and since it's on Bell Blvd, there's not a lot of street parking. Would recommend public transport or parking further away and walking in. The interior is a bit tight especially when it's lively. Our table was in the entryway of two rooms so there were constantly people walking behind and bumping into our seats.

The food and service are consistently good and there are several options for seating. We prefer the booths in the front but there is a lovely dining room in the back and outdoor seating in a tree lined patio. Since it was Thursday afternoon, we ordered from the Lunch Specials. I had a Large Greek salad with grilled chicken and my husband had the Gyro Platter with salad and lemon potatoes. You can also choose rice or french fries, if you prefer. My salad comes with a huge piece of Feta on top, which I love. I usually crumble it over the salad. Oil and Red Wine vinegar is always on the table which you can use on your salad or your entree. The meals come with warm pita and the best tzatziki sauce around. We go to a lot of Greek restaurants and IMO, they have the best sauce because it is thick not watery like other places. We highly recommend you try Avli for a delicious Greek meal.

They ordered the pork doner with fries and absolutely loved it, as well as the feta and tzatziki spreads. For vegetarians, the vegetarian moussaka is the best thing on the menu and this is one of the only places I've found that has a non-meat version. Unfortunately, we went during a heat wave and it was very hot in the restaurant. We were all sweating so I wish the split units were turned on for additional cooling.

On to the food, the sole and dips were the only thing we tried that was worth getting frankly. The chicken souvlaki was def the worst thing we ordered. It was too charred and completely dried. Just not an enjoyable entree. The sole was yummy but did not blow my mind. The Bifteki was good but not as good as the sole. It was on the pricier side. 3 entrees, 1 app was over 120$. The interior and staff were great! Unfortunately, I don't think I will return.

The service was still good, and the ambiance is bright and welcoming, which I appreciated. The gyro itself was just okay this time, nothing too memorable. The fries were good definitely needed some salt, but that's just my personal preference. The chicken skewer was solid and probably the highlight of the meal. My biggest issue was the Greek salad. It was mostly cucumbers, and the feta cheese had a really strange flavor. I'm not sure what brand they use, but I've never tasted feta like that before, and not in a good way. It completely threw me off. That experience alone was enough to turn me away. I think I'll stick with the pricier Greek spots that I know are more consistent.

I've been going to King Souvlaki for many years. Nowadays you can also order on UberEats/DoorDash but for the best, just go in-person of course. The Greek Fries are great with olive oil and feta but it is a large portion. I believe you can now upgrade the platter fries so you can get to taste the flavor without it being over the top. Our go to order is the platter but you can never go wrong with a sandwich either. The rice is seasoned well and with the tzatziki sauce and small salad - it's always a good plate. They do also have chicken options but beef/lamb is the way to go in my opinion. The gyro is has great flavor but it's also not overly greasy like some places.

When I got home and checked my gyro, I was disappointed to find a bunch of tomatoes on it. They did leave off the onions, which was great, but they also failed to add the lettuce I requested. My sister's gyro and beef platter were fine, but my order was not prepared correctly. To make matters worse, the meat tasted old. MY FINAL MIXED BAG VERDICT: DISAPPOINTING REVIEW!
