    Veg Salad, Lamb Sandwich, Veg Sandwich, Greek Fries
    Salma S.

    I enjoyed my lunch at Souvla! I got the veg sweet potato salad, and it was yummy. The portion was very generous and filling. My friends also loved their sandwiches and the Greek fries. My friends also ordered the frozen yogurt with baklava for dessert, and said it was some of the best frozen yogurt they've ever had. As for the ambience, it's a small, casual spot without much seating, but it's cute. The service was good and food came out quick. I enjoyed it!

    We went during happy hour so I was able to get a glass of wine for $10. We also ordered the chicken salad, a side of greek fries, and a lamb sandwich. Everything was so delicious and well seasoned. The salad was refreshing with some mandarin and kale and cheese. My favorite were the fries also well seasoned and crispy with really yummy mizithra cheese. The service was really fast and staff were really nice. This location is a little small but cozy nonetheless and they had some outdoor seating as well. They also have froyo that I was not able to try because i was so full but looked good and I will def try next time

    We ordered the veg sandwich, lamb sandwich, and Greek fries. All delicious. There are 3-4 tables for indoor seating, so it can feel a little tight. But, there is some outdoor seating as well if you're willing to brave the cold. Only a short wait to order. This is a popular spot for take out. The ice cream machine is currently broken, so hoping to review that next time.

    Lamb Salad

    This is a really good non-appetizer/side salad. It's actually filling enough to be a meal, and had enough lamb to make the price worth it. For fifty cents more, you can get the "hot sauce" on the side which is really just a spicy vinegar dressing. I'd highly recommend trying that if you're not usually a salad-as-a-meal person. The ice cream machine was broken on 4/12/26 which was a bit sad. There are a few shared tables inside and it's self-seating.

    This place was recommended to me so we actually came here twice. It's a limited menu but everything looked clean and was yummy. It's a small location so you may have to look around for a seat. i tried both salads and both were good. I also had a side of sweet potatoes which was simple but sweet. The greek yogurt is a must try. SYOY!

    This is a little greek inspired place on Chestnut. The queue was always about 3 deep at this order at the counter spot, but the food arrived quickly, the tables were clean and bussed. The ambiance is that of a nice quick service spot. Decor was nice but it was packed. The chicken sandwich and salad were large, well seasoned and flavorful

    I'm slightly embarrassed it took my teen to show me this place, but I've been making up for lost time. We've eaten here more in the past few weeks than I'd like to admit. The wraps and salads are addictive and pretty, the greek fries are yummy, and the froyo is the perfect finish. I tried the Valencia location. While there was nothing wrong with the food, it did not wow me and almost diminished my obsession. Then, I went back to Chestnut and all was right in the world.

    A great chain location to stop at. We'd gotten a sandwich prior so got a chicken wrap with greek fries to share. They have plenty of seating which we very much needed because we were in for a loong day of walking still (we popped by for lunch after walking down the embarcadero from the ferry building and would through the day end up following the coast until sutro baths). Plenty of outdoor seating too which we took because it was a beautiful day. The chicken sandwich was solid yummy and i love that there were tangerine slices in there. I don't think i've had that in a wrap before and it added a nice sweet juiciness to the bite. Note that even though the wraps are called "sandwiches" on the menu, they are in fact wraps. Which makes sense given the cuisine. But it didn't click for me until we got the dish haha. Tasted good, didn't last long - we were hungry and inhaled it. With 2 people i'd say it existed for a solid 2 minutes max.

    Chicken Sandwich
    Braeden H.

    Got the chicken sandwich and potatoes as well as a Greek yogurt with baklava and honey. I felt like I was mostly just tasting the orange slices in the sandwich which I didn't like. Potatoes mainly tasted like oil without much extra seasoning. The Greek yogurt is pretty sour, but I could definitely see how someone would really like it if that's your thing. Unfortunately, I think they forgot to add any honey. The woman who helped me was very nice. Probably will come back and try some different items

    Came here on a warmer day in the city and there was a long line out the door, but most were takeout orders. The menu is quite simple but you're free to customize the items with a different dressing etc. We ordered the frozen yogurt with our other food but we asked to get it later when we were about to leave so it wouldn't melt. The cashier was nice to even let us try the flavors! The portions are quite sizeable and you can taste there is quality in the ingredients. The salad had great flavor and was very refreshing. The pita wrap with the chicken had a lighter flavor, but was still good. The meat was tender in both. Fries were crispy and fresh (we didn't get a sauce though, but I would recommend it). We used the hot sauce on the table. Our frozen yogurt seemed a bit small for the price but was delicious.

    Souvla is always a favorite stop when we are in SF! The lamb salad is absolutely delicious super flavorful, tender, and filling without being too heavy. It's definitely our go-to dish here. Highly recommend asking for a side of tzatziki it adds the perfect creamy tang and ties everything together.

    Avgolemono Soup
    Cami R.

    Love Love Love Souvla! The service always wows me every time and I still love that they have actual candles here! It really adds to the ambiance and makes it feel like you are at a cozy and nice sit down restaurant. I always get the Avgolemono soup and some fries and its the perfect small meal after having a large lunch. I also love the greek frozen yogurt. The sour cherry was pretty good but my go to is 100% the cretan wildflower honey frozen yogurt. Highly recommend Souvla!!

    Very fresh ingredients! I would definitely come back. I would not recommend the chicken wrap bc the chicken was a little dry. However, the salads looked great.

    We've come across and heard about Old Jerusalem before and felt like having middle eastern food…read moretonight, so we took a chance and tried them out. When we arrived at around 7:30 pm, there were tables available. It's a comfortable cafe-like restaurant with mural paintings on the wall. Service was friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, the food wasn't as good as the ambiance and waitstaff. ***OUR PICKS*** BEEF SHAWERMA ENTREE ~ the beef was overly salted, saffron rice was ok, hummus was really thick, like peanut butter. My guy ordered this and thought it was average. 3/5 LAMB SHISH KEBAB WRAP ~ this was my dish. I ate one half of the wrap and it only held two cubes of lamb meat. The lettuce and tomatoes made the wrap bland. The meat was seasoned, but everything was plain, so it needed more seasoning. Honestly, this was missing flavor! I'll have to add something to it when I eat the rest of this wrap at home. 2.5/5 HALF ROASTED CHICKEN AND RICE ~ Our friend ordered this dish. It needed more sumac. This tasted like plain roasted chicken. Maybe it needs more seasoning while marinating. It wasn't dry, so that's a relief. Rice was ok and it wasn't dry or soggy. 3.5 We've been spoiled and have had better food in San Francisco and the Bay Area. Nothing stood out for any of us. Prices are a bit high for what you get. Sadly, probably won't be back.

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!

We loved the Combo appetizer plate which came with generous portions of 9 different items. I loved everything ! I'm an eggplant lover and two of the dips were eggplant based . My new favorite dip is the Mercimek Kofte which is a red lentil based chunky dip ; I would've guessed garbanzo bean based dip. The Haydari dip was also super addictive, a thick creamy dip made of kefir cheese and Greek yogurt. So many delicious but gut healthy items of the combo plate; which comes with thin lavash bread. Also loved the red lentil soup, which was warming on a rainy day. I thought it was flavorful without being overly spiced or too thick. My husband enjoyed the lamb kebabs. Tender juicy cuts of lamb that were well seasoned , comes on a bed of salad and rice. We also liked the charred red peppers and onions on the kebab . Service was sufficient Overall great little find for dinner !

We ordered the combo plate which came with a lot of Pita bread, definitely enough to share among 4 people. Dishes came with a big helping of hummus too. I personally got the Kofte Kebab which filled me up. I had enough to bring home for lunch the next day. Getting a frozen yogurt at Easy Breezy is a must afterwards!!
