    The froyo was alright a bitter. It tasted better with the graham crackers and honey. If you like sweeter froyo, this might not be your cup of tea. The best combo in my opinion is with honey and the bread crumbs!

    Been to this place more than a handful of times. It's alright. It's healthy, it's a high quality chain. I eat here when I'm on a diet, so don't expect to get full, but lots of fiber and protein so not bad. Food tastes good. It's honestly not my type of food, but I'll eat it to be healthy.

    The best soft serve frozen yogurt is right here at Souvla! It's tart and tangy and so delicious. My favorite is with salt and olive oil. It's absolutely worth every minute of your day to go and worth every calorie to enjoy.

    Souvla is so good. From their Lamb salad greek style to their greek fries and olive oil greek yogurt. Great choice for lunch. Grab a glass of wine and sit on their outdoor seating facing the sidewalk of passerby's. Service is fast and friendly.

    Ordered the free bird chicken salad and frozen greek yogurt with baklava crumbles. Although the salad tastes great with all the assortment of toppings (pickled red onion, oranges, pea shoots and cheese), they skimp out on the chicken. Not the most filling salad especially when hungry. The frozen greek yogurt is tart and gets it sweetness from the baklava + honey drizzle. The baklava crumbles arent crispy/flaky/crunchy. They're clusters that are soft. Few tables inside and outside (self seating). They provide a number so that they can bring your order to you whether its dine in or takeout.

    I haven't tried any of their food items yet, so this review is just about their frozen Greek yogurt, but it's amazing. I especially love the one with honey. There's something about the sweet, cold honey paired with the tangy, tart yogurt that just works perfectly. The texture is incredibly smooth, making each bite a delight. It's the perfect little dessert after a heavy meal, the tartness cuts through the richness and helps wake me up from a food coma. Definitely a go-to spot if you're looking for a refreshing, satisfying treat.

    Yummy - this was my first time having the frozen yogurt from Souvla. I am glad I finally tried it. The honey paired so well with the cold yogurt. The baklava also went well, but the chunks could be smaller. Try it out if you want to have a quick cold dessert!

    I got the chicken wrap but I definitely prefer the salad. The fries are always good. It was busy inside but we were able to find seats immediately

    I live down the street and always see this place has a line so I decided to check it out. I got the chicken option as a salad and it was extremely refreshing. I would just say they skimp a lot on the meat. For dessert I got the honey and baklava yogurt which was tart but sweet, probably would try a different flavor next time! Overall it's a cute place just also not a unique concept so very similar to cava, nick the Greek, etc.

    Baklava Crumbles and Honey Syrup
    Tabitha H.

    My friend and I came here basically for the frozen Greek yogurt. YUM. I could probably eat an entire cup by myself. We tried the baklava crumbles and honey syrup topping. It had the satisfaction of nice, cold ice cream or froyo without the guilt of excessive sweetness. The seating is first come, first served and can get busy.

    The chicken salad here is one of my favorite local salads. It's not a typical Greek salad at all. It has chicken, kale, fennel, orange slices, pea shoots, mizithra cheese, and Granch dressing (their version of ranch dressing). It's like a spiffied up Greek salad a la ultra-healthy San Francisco style. I mean, have you ever had any other Greek salad with *kale*?! The one menu item that I did not like was their pork sandwich -- it was dry (1 star off). The pita bread was good, but the pork was not. You can actually get any of their meats in either a salad or pita sandwich form. Be sure to end your meal with a frozen Greek yogurt. It is real Greek yogurt -- none of that commercial Greek yogurt thickened with corn starch. It tastes like pure Greek yogurt. I like the sour cherry and olive oil toppings, but would suggest holding the salt for the olive oil topping. Needless to say, salted Greek yogurt would not taste like a sweet dessert ending!

    Greek Sour Cherry Syrup Baklava Crumbles and Honey Syrup

    If I am close to a souvla, I will always come by and get the Greek yogurt with baklava crumbles and honey syrup. It is my favorite dessert ever since being introduced to it during Covid and I'll never forget how it can always make my day better. My friends got the Greek yogurt with cherry syrup and they enjoyed it as well. I am biased for the baklava crumbles tho Something new I learned is that souvla has dog toys!! I got my dog a Greek yogurt squeaky toy to match my obsession for the dessert. It's a bit pricey at $20, but I'd say it's priceless if I can share souvla with my dog. But it gets even better, if you ask, souvla has little tiny cups for dogs too! While only service dogs are allowed inside, there is seating outside for you to bring your pet and get them a little treat while you eat as well!

    Mary's Free-Range Chicken Sandwich, Greek Fries
    Arturo N.

    I went this last Sunday after a long day. Ordered the chicken sandwich with fries and a side of the harissa dip. The chicken sandwich was juicy and well seasoned and the fries were crispy and perfect. This place is perfect to meet up a friend for a casual quick bite and pretty straightforward menu.

    Cute spot. Food was fresh. Service was good. I was in a hurry/doing errands and they packed the to-go order well. I would revisit!

    Beautiful space ; authentic Greek food , very delicious ; really enjoyed this experienceread more

    Kokkari is as good as it gets for what I love. Especially Mediterranean/Adriatic: fish, lamb,…read moregarlic, olive oil, & lemon. Of course a Greek emphasis, but lots of intersection with my Croatian-American culinary heart! The smelts are fishy in a good way, nice crunch, texture, tang of lemon, & sharpness of garlic spread. Very difficult to find, never mind getting it right. The octopus & stuffed calamari were the right texture, seasoning, & flowing with olive oil. Finished with some greens. What a treat! Pro-tip: get the smelts, be bold. My wife raved about her moussaka. Artisan. Nice hint of cloves, right amount of yogurt béchamel. The lamb, beef, eggplant (not watery), & potato all stood out. My sons loved their salmon & chicken. I sampled and confirmed. My bronzino was FANTASTIC. This one was big & better quality than I usually buy. I got it with bones, head, & skin. Poured on olive oil, more salt, & garlic. Yeah, gotta use the hands, chew...graciously pulling out the bones, looking as civilized as possible. Folks, this is Mediterranean: a great fish should be eaten like this. Crisp skin, get the meat from the cheeks & head. Again: emphasis on olive oil mixed with fish juices from bones & lemon! We were stuffed and shared a Baklava. Nobody does it better. Except James Bond, 007, but in a different context. 2 glasses of wine & 2 Shirley Temples for kids. The service was excellent. Attentive. We were in the back & it wasn't loud. Classy servers & classy people enjoying themselves. Oh: great portions too. $407, including 20% tip. Great value for what you get. We've come here for special occasions. They've strengthened the bond, we'll be back more often. So reminiscent of what I eat in Croatia when I visit. Thank you Hellas!

    Don't talk to me I'm eating…read more Once in a while a plate of food puts you in a trance enough to sit there eating silently with your friend. Don't talk. Just let me eat first. Thoughts going through my head "how can this taste so good," "I wasn't expecting this tonight," "this is the most tender gyro meat I've ever had," "how nicely this sauce pairs with the rice." Service was so friendly. Walked in for Friday dinner cus it's try a new restaurant night. Surprised it was empty. They got quite a bit of takeout orders but no one eating in there. Only the workers in there. Was greeted immediately with a smile. Wasn't sure if I had to order then seat myself or politely ask to get a table first. Sometimes it's confusing at some places, I didn't want to be weird. Asked for a table then server brought menus to us. But the next person who walked in just ordered and paid right away at the cashier then sat down. So I don't know. I wasn't given water with my sit down meal. Cus I ordered the food without mentioning water, so it must be one of those don't ask don't get kinda things. As requested. FOOD: *lamb & beef gyro plate: what is this goodness! Meat is so tender. How nicely it sits on top of this rice. Pour some tzatziki sauce over both and eat it. Delightful. Comes with a side of seasoned tomato much like a salsa consistency. There was a red liquid salsa sauce too on this plate so you can pick what you want to dip your meat into *hummus with chicken kabob: o what now this is something new I haven't tried! Delicious! The garbanzo beans are blended enough that the hummus is completely smooth. Good salty flavor. Comes with triangle pieces of bread oops I mean pita to dip. I slathered the hummus all over my pita. Pita was swimming in hummus. Why not, cus they give you plenty of hummus in that bowl. How many times did I shout "delicious" throughout and after this meal. Maybe 4 times. Am I talking to myself or to my friend. Doesn't matter. Sangria available in glass, half, and full size So clean inside. Got that new restaurant feel.

    I've only had the falafel burger and the falafel plate, and both were delicious. The fries are also…read morereally good. As a takeout place, Gyros and Tzatziki normally gets four stars, but as a restaurant, it's definitely three stars, and I'll tell you why. This place needs better management. Failing that, one of the three guys who is normally working when I come needs to take charge, because the current setup isn't working. You order at the counter, which is common at many San Francisco restaurants. One of the three guys will help you, but sometimes, one of them is just sitting or standing a few feet away from the cash register, but he won't acknowledge your presence. It's as if only people who will actually take your order are allowed to speak to you. Once you do (eventually) place your order, you're in for a wait. If you're eating in, that's all right, because the food is definitely worth the wait, and the small seating area is normally comfortable. If you're taking it to go, however, they refuse to say anything about where to be while waiting. I normally just sit down at an empty table because I know it will be awhile, but when I stand, I always feel like I'm in someone's way. When they're busy, not only does your food take forever to come out, but the service just goes out the window. Again, only three guys working, including the chef, but why does one of the remaining two guys always seem to be so stand-around-looking-dumb lazy? And the funny part is that it's not always the same guy; the one I used to think was a hard worker was sitting in a chair near the back last time I came. It was like he was in a timeout; he wasn't looking at his phone, just yelling random things to the cook occasionally while the other poor guy had to deal with four different parties eating in, plus all the to-go orders. So order it to go before you arrive. Or sit down and try to figure out what's going on.
