Frozen Greek Yogurt - Baklava & Honey Syrup
Laura L.

I like coming here for the frozen yogurt -- it's tangy and not too sweet! I like the baklava crumbles topping and it's a nice texture with the froyo so would recommend.

Ready for plating!

We seem to venture out beyond our neighborhood yet with so many great dining spots it was time to stay in our nabe and try Souvla. I have mixed feelings about Souvla, like maybe I ordered the wrong thing? I had the chicken sandwich: It lacked flavor, puzzling since it has bold flavors of fennel, pickled onions and orange. The chicken was finely shredded and plentiful, it just had no taste and it was dry. My son loved his lamb gyro which disappeared in an instant (his big eyes signaled he wanted my sandwich too- I handed it over.) The fries with Greek cheese were great and still hot when we arrived home. The frozen yogurt with olive oil and salt was pucker-your-mouth delicious. Next time we'll dine al fresco and kick back and people watch - and I'll pick something new off the menu. Service could not have been friendlier and food prep, fast! And PS the takeout boxes are really pretty.

Lamp wrap
Nishalina B.

Highly recommend the wraps! Got the lamb and it was very tasty and not too gamey. The meat was tender and falling apart. Sauce on the wrap was good but wish there was a bit more on it. I would definitely come back.

To go

Ordered half chicken with the side salad, pita, hot sauce and garlic yogurt and fries. Parking is a nightmare around the place but they will be quick with your order. All of the food was fresh and well prepared. The salad had great flavor and the sauces were fantastic. The chicken was juicy and well cooked but the dill flavor was not for me and I wanted a bit more salt to it. Fries were crispy and delicious.

Lamb scramble wrap , Greek fries and chicken salad
June R.

Our favorite go to in Hayes Valley when we want clean fresh eats. Family in town so first time order g their whole rotisserie chicken. We absolutely love their fries and soup. Beautiful day to eat outside. Ambiance al fresco perfect. Service is always outstanding! Highly recommend. .

Baklava Crumbles and Syrup
Arianna C.

This place you can eat here or order to-go and pick up at their pickup window. The only saving grace of this place is the food comes fast. We ordered the Chicken Sandwich, Lamb Sandwich, Greek Fries, Juicy Potatoes, and Baklava Crumbles & Syrup. The Chicken Sandwich was very mediocre since it was pretty much just Shredded Chicken with Veggies and the Pita Bread, which also was a weird texture and meh in flavor. The Lamb Sandwich was was also very meh. The Lamb itself was on the tough side of life and this didn't really have any flavor to it besides the taste of Feta Cheese. The Greek Fries were the best thing and those were also pretty okay. They were nice and crispy but that was all. The Juicy Potatoes were indeed juicy, but that was really it. The problem was that they didn't have any flavor. The Baklava Crumbles and Syrup was okay. The Frozen Yogurt was okay and the Baklava that went with it was very meh in terms of taste and texture. This was definitely the worst Baklava tasting thing that I have tasted before and wish that there was the Pilo Dough to give it some texture instead of being mushy. Overall, very mediocre in taste and overpriced in terms of taste.

Roasted sweet potato salad
Jill F.

Loved the roasted sweet potato salad - fresh ingredients (kale, lettuce, pea sprouts, etc) , delicious dressing & the roasted sweet potato was still warm - so yummy! Wonderful waitstaff, super cool & chill vibe/ambience. We will definitely be back!

Teresa G.

Came here to grab something before going to the theater. Staff were very pleasant and helpful. We seated ourselves on the big table and shared with other patrons. We ordered the Chicken Wrap and it came with shaved fennel, pieces of navel orange, pickled red onion, pea shoots, this traditional Greek cheese they call mizithra cheese, and Granch™ Dressing (Greek & ranch). It was delicious and went very well with their freshly made Greek fries. We'll definitely have to come back and try other items on their menu.

We came to Souvla on a Monday afternoon for lunch and it was decently busy. I ordered Pork Salad with Greek Fries, and the food came out pretty quickly. The salad is delicious, decent crunch, and adequate sauce. The PORK is seasoned well and not too dry. The fries are seasoned very well as well and had the right amount of crisp. The portion is also appropriate for the price. Ambiance here is nice, a lot of seating in the restaurant and also outside. People here are also very friendly and nice. I will definitely be back to try other dishes on the menu when i'm in the area.

Veggie salad and Greek fries.
Cindy N.

This is my go to salad. It's just so good. Skipped the frozen Greek yogurt today but will be back for the one with baklava crumbles soon! Staff were friendly and courteous.

Katie B.

This place was so good! I ordered the half chicken, side salad,fries , and a frozen yogurt. I split all of this with my kids and there was more than enough food. So much flavor and goodness. I have never had the Greek frozen yogurt before and they let me taste it before I purchased one. I was unable to finish it bc the portion was too big. I would definitely recommend this place!

Happy hour menu (April 2026)
Yuria G.

The place has both indoor and outdoor seating, and there's even counter seating inside, so it feels casual and easy to drop by solo. I went around 3pm and it happened to be happy hour, so I got to enjoy some wine at a great price. FOOD The seasonal trout sandwich was packed with fresh veggies. The half chicken was nicely roasted and paired really well with the Greek yogurt sauce on the side. The yogurt ice cream wasn't sweet and tasted super refreshing. I chose the cherry syrup, which added a nice sweet and tangy touch--perfect after a meal. The olive and salt combo was a bit on the salty side since there were chunks of salt in it. It might not be the best as a dessert, but surprisingly, it worked pretty well as a dip for fries lol. The yogurt ice cream is perfect for a hot day--I'd definitely like to try other flavors next time!

Chicken salad & greek fries
Jenny Y.

A must try! My go to is the chicken salad & greek fries - a well balanced meal. You'll see the chickens roasting inside - great flavor & not dry at all. Fries are crispy! Ordered at the counter and worker brought out the food not that long after. Indoor & outdoor seating available - take advantage of the outdoor seating when it's a nice day out! Indoor seating looks clean & quite spacious. Located in a good area. Just a bummer they don't have that many locations outside of SF.

What cooking oil do they use for their meats? I thought it was Olive Oil - but I may be wrong...

That i am not 100% sure on but they are Italians so I would have to say if I were to guess it would be a italian olive oil from Italy and not just a local shelf one. 😉

When will you start offering your frozen yogurts on DoorDash again? I've been checking all week and it's not available and we don't live close enough to come in to pick-up :(

What's a good alternative dressing for the chicken salad? They forgot the yogurt dressing AGAIN on my take-out order.

They use a bit of oil like olive oil (I think).

Are there any vegan options?

I believe there is a vegetable sandwich or bowl made just like the meat options. Suggest you call.

What is a good time to go, to avoid long lines?

I always order online! It's always done within 5-10 minutes. You can eat your online order there if you wish.

Amazing food, cute and casual ambiance, and amazing service!…read more We had the Arabic coffee, a mixed kabab platter, and the half & half (half hummus, half rice). The chicken kabob was so tender and flavorful -- definitely my favorite! If you're someone who doesn't have a high tolerance for spice, this place is perfect because the flavors are delicious without being overwhelmingly spicy. And personally, the Arabic coffee was the highlight for me! It's honestly one of the best coffees I've had so far. Loved everything about this experience and would definitely come back!

We came here for lunch last Saturday. Place is very cute inside. Love the decor…read more We were seated at the window right away and the server brought us water, olives and pickled radish. Then took our order. Afterwards, brought us pita bread with tomato sauce with chunks of onion and tzatziki sauce. Pita was warm and the sauces were outstanding. We ordered Chicken Shawarma plate with half rice and hummus and Lamb shish kebab sandwich. The shawarma was delicious! First time I saw it in yellow color. Maybe the turmeric. Chicken was moist and tender, lots of different spices. Rice was cooked perfectly and the hummus was hearty and savory. Really amazing hummus, probably the best I ever had. My hubby had the lamb sandwich and really enjoyed it. Only issue is that, the fried eggplant was missing. Instead, it was bell pepper. He was excited to have the eggplant but did not work out. He said that it needed a little more spices in the lamb. It was missing a punch there somewhere, lol. Overall we enjoyed the food. Everyone was very nice and attentive. Would like to try their other dishes in the future.

One of my favorite Mediterranean restaurants that never disappoints!…read more My go-to order is one of the lunch wraps they offer (salmon or chicken, depending on my mood) but both are great and are always made with fresh ingredients!

The service was friendly and welcoming even when our party came at different times. The restaurant wasn't busy given it was a Monday evening, so you would think it would go smoothly. *** OUR PICKS *** COMBO APPETIZER PLATTER ~ hummus, baba ghanouj, haydari, ezme, dolmas, merimek, falafel ~ parts of the platter were cold while the falafel was warm, but they topped it off with a sauce that didn't keep the falafel crispy, instead it softened it. I think the sauce should have been on the side. The rest of the dish was good. 4/5 LAMB KEBAB PLATE ~ this was my dish. I touched my skewers thinking they were going to be hot, but it was surprisingly cold. I'm not sure why skewers would be cold when the food should be hot right off the grill. The lamb was cooked medium rare as I requested, though there was little to no seasoning. So it was kind of gamey and tasteless 3/5 RACK OF LAMB PLATE ~ my partner chose this dish. The lamb was also very light in seasoning. The pistachio rice was interesting and nutty. Asparagus was good. 3.5/5 MIXED GRILL PLATE ~ our friend enjoyed this dish. Maybe a mixed grill is the way to go and some meats cooked and seasoned better than others. 4/5 BEEF KEBAB PLATE ~ the beef was also room temperature and lightly seasoned. 3.5/5 SALMON ~ I tried some of this and it was decent. 4/5 BAKLAVA & CHOCOLATE MOUSSE CAKE ~ Nice birthday surprise and a sweet way to end the meal. Baklava wasn't as crispy or flaky as some I've had, but the honey-pistachio nuts were good. 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. However, the surprise desserts were a nice touch in helping us celebrate a birthday!

I understand restaurants can get busy, and being out of a few menu items happens, but the way things were handled was frustrating. We ordered our food, received appetizers, and then nearly 20 minutes later our server casually came over to tell us they were out of the chicken entrée we had ordered. There was no apology, no empathy, and honestly no sense that she understood how inconvenient that was. By that point it was already late, and at almost 10 PM in San Francisco there weren't many other dining options open nearby, which completely ruined our night. What made it worse was that we were still charged despite the poor experience and lack of proper service recovery. I ended up not tipping because the service felt disorganized and lacking basic professionalism and empathy. To be fair, the owner did come out afterward to apologize while I was waiting for my Uber, and I appreciated that gesture. But overall, this was a terrible experience that could have been handled much better operationally and from a customer service standpoint.
