South Street Souvlaki

Greek restaurant · Society Hill

@eater

"South Street’s iconic blue-and-white building with takeout windows facing the street has been going strong for more than four decades. Owner Tom Vasiliades serves Greek and Mediterranean fare to hungry crowds traversing Philly’s weirdest street. At the takeout window, try a souvlaki or gyro sandwich — both come on pita with lettuce, tomato, onion, and tzatziki. When dining in, kick the meal off with saganaki: Greek kasseri cheese that’s doused in brandy and set on fire." - Sarah Maiellano, Rachel Vigoda
