King Souvlaki

The restaurant is located in the Bay Ridge section of Brooklyn. They prepare Greek cuisine and have additional locations in Queens. They have several tables for dining in and being served. I ordered the bifteki platter which consisted of two large lamb patties similar to hamburger. The platter also included pita bread, salad, dipping sauce and lemon potatoes which I selected. The chicken gyro platter was a large portion that I selected with rice. It also included pita bread, dipping sauce and salad. The avgolemono soup was good. The soup is a mixture of egg, lemon and strips of chicken. The spanakopita is a spinach pie that was served by the slice. The food was well-prepared and portions were generous.

Very authentic food, from a European view. Staff was friendly. Love it.

I had a chicken gyro to go. It tasted good. I took out a piece of chicken of what I thought was hard cartilage but turned out to be raw chicken. See photos. Undercooked chicken is a health risk and now I can get food poisoning. Unbelievable and unacceptable.

My friends own this establishment and always wanted to go there, well I got the opportunity to go last week with my Godson. I was very pleased to see how well Angelo was managing and was also happy for his Dad that has brought up such a polite gentleman. The food was exactly what I expected, it is always good in all the Souvlaki King operations. If I’m in Brooklyn I definitely would go again and bring friends.

Food was delicious 😋. Service with a smile. Good sized portions. Prices were okay. I don't mind going back again.

Tonight was the grand opening of the flagship store so it was super busy but the food was very good and the portions were perfect. I had the lamb gyro platter and my friend got the king plate which took a long time to come out but it was enormous! You could def share that plate with three people and all be satisfied. I would recommend the king plate to try all that is to be offered but if you want something personal, I'd suggest the Greek fries. (Also if you like feta)

Woman that takes orders has horrible customer service. Not friendly at all. Ordered a 4.00 chicken kabob basically somewhat raw. Got charged 6.00 for a small tazziki sauce and a mini child's ketchup. Find a better place if you have a chance. It's not impressive the goods not great and pretty brand unless you have sauce. Just be ready for them to charge you like 3.00 on condiments. Horrible experience. Good luck.....go somewhere else. Mc Donald's would be better. At least you won't get salmonella.

I can’t believe they don’t serve their homemade beef&lamb gyro. I got the sore-made stuff from restaurant depot. If I want to eat that I can go to any halal food truck. I was expecting the same homemade stuff that have on 31st & 31st in Astoria

Came here for dinner with my husband and daughter. We ordered the dip sampler as an appetizer. For my meal I ordered the chicken gyro and my husband ordered the bacon wrapped souvlaki. We ate everything! We enjoyed the spicy feta dip the best. We weren't fans of the hummus. The appetizer only came with 4 small pieces of pita bread so we asked for more. It was an extra $1 for pita bread. I think they should give more pita with the dips so it's more proportionate. The service and ambiance were good.

Got the chicken gyro platter food was good till I almost choked on a hair going into my throat, long hair that was inside the rice and food went from good to disgusting and lost my appetite, wouldn't eat here again. Store manager I have a video of when I took it out of my mouth do you want to see? I can send it to you personally, it's not long like a women's hair but definitely not a short hair. The hair is also inside of the rice so it's most definitely from you guys.

I came here on a Saturday afternoon. Service was good and service too. Lots of meat on the platters. Get the pork gyro platter. Chicken gyro was good too.

We just ate there today. The food was good. Nice atmosphere. The restaurant was good in general. The service was nice. Will go back again.

On this lunch delivery edition, I chose King Souvlaki to try, having only had Greek once. The portions were a generous amount, more than enough for lunch! My Chicken Souvlaki Platter ($18) came with chicken skewers, house salad, pita bread, and choice of 2 sides, which I chose Lemon Potatoes and Rice. The Lemon Potatoes I tried were not very good. They offer a strong citrus taste, but not over my rice too! The sauce dripped right into my poor rice, which left everything tasting very sour over at that area. Luckily, my Chicken Skewers were safe from the zest, and super delicious! There were mixed reviews saying they were dry, but not at all! I could totally eat more of these, given the juicy consistency. They went well with my Tirokafteri sauce. Overall, I enjoyed it, although I do think it depends on your food pick, as my brother's pork was dry. Best of all was the care they put into their utensils! I felt like I was eating something way more fancy the way they were wrapped.

I really was hoping to satisfy my craving for good Greek food but I was disappointed. All the spreads we tried tasted store bought. The Greek salad had no Kalamata or Greek olives but Spanish olives and capers instead which was odd. The saganaki was burned so bad that we couldn't cut it with a knife. The best thing on the menu that we tried that night was the pork souvlaki.

I popped into King Souvlaki to try a good old fashioned Souvlaki sandwich. I sat down and ordered and my sandwich was delivered to my promptly. It was exactly what I expected. A Pork sandwich with Tomato's, Onions, lettuce and Tzatziki. It was very tasty. My bill with a can of Club soda was $14.15. This business charges a surcharge for credit cards, so bring cash if your dining. I'll be back.

Apparently Souvlaki comes with a bad attitude.... Confusing ways of ordering, meager tasting food and a cafeteria ambiance. If you're a construction worker that had a hard day, wants their meal fast and just needs to shove down grub.. then sure, have an overly priced dish here. But everyone... go elsewhere for a decent place to eat.

Solid gyros but the service is enough to make me NOT want to come back. This is the second time this happened and I let the first time slide- said food would be ready in 15min for pick up but it took double that. At least be honest so I am not stuck waiting there...

3 stars are for the food but service..I'd be generous in giving it a 1. Food was alright, service was crappy! Service was extremely slow! It was Not busy, 2 tables had some people already eating. We waited to have our orders be taken for about 25 min. We kept looking at the chubby guy (sorry don't know his name but trying to be specific) he wasn't doing anything but standing behind the counter. Then when we were finished eating, again we tried waving him down after waiting there for awhile. Then a guy comes out of the back and starts talking to him and the waiter makes eye contact with me, I waved like "excuse me" & he turns back to continue his convo (what the?!)..then another 10min later, my fiancé gets up to go get him & the guy turns to look at us again so my fiancé gestures the universal "we want the check" & he FINALLY stops his convo & comes over. I asked if I can have a tin or box to put my leftovers in. He gives me a small cardboard box that doesn't close. We walked there from Bensonhurst so something that closes & is secure, would have been helpful & a bag even? I got up to get him since well the previous times getting him to come over didn't work..I asked him for a bag & for some reason his face dropped like I had asked him for a kidney. He gave me a bag & we couldn't wait to leave. What is up with that guy??

I order delivery from King Souvlaki pretty frequently, almost once a week [oops..] and I absolutely love their food. Delivery is also super fast and the person doing the delivery leaves the package at the door and walks away [virtual high-five for COVID-19 safety]. At first glance the price seems steep but the portion sizes are pretty big. If you're a normal person you can make two meals out of the Lamb Gyro Platter [$17.75] and the Greek Yogurt with grape sweet preserves [$7.50] but if you're me, you eat it in one sitting and are absolutely satisfied. The gyro on the plate is overwhelming fragrant, my cat always seems want to take a swipe at some [all for me, none for her]. I particularly love the accompanying pita bread which is always light and fluffy and quite buttery. The salad on the side is actually pretty good too and provides some acidity. The tirokafteri [spicy feta] is perfectly spicy. I could eat it out of the cup with a spoon. It tastes almost like buffalo sauce once it's mixed with some ranch dressing- but way better. I don't know what to say about the Greek yogurt- it's Greek yogurt. Everyone should know what that tastes like. The grape preserves are pretty sweet and you do get a generous amount poured on top, with it's sauce. Going out on a limb here and saying, this is pretty healthy for takeout and it doesn't break the bank [about $30 about tax and tip]. Tip your delivery people well, folks!

I've been wanting to visit King Souvlaki for a few months now and just never got around to it until this evening when I decided to walk over and make an order to take out. I kept the order simple, a gyro to go and I made no special requests of it since I wanted to see how they made it. I opted for the classic lamb as the meat as opposed to chicken or pork and had to say that they do load up the meat in this offering. The coat the pita bread with the tzaziki sauce and placed some tomatoes around this and then a handful of red onions. Once the meat was in place they added a handful of french fries to this which is something very new to me. The limitations and restrictions on dining in prevented me from even trying to sit down and eat this at the establishment but I will say that everyone was keeping distant, wearing masks and gloves and the place was spotless. It also smelled amazing from all the other dishes being cooked. I dug into the gyro once at home and can say that I really liked how they made it and would order again but the next time I will make the following changes. Since my stomach can't handle them much anymore I'd need a lot less onions so maybe they'll give me more tomatoes instead. I also didn't like the idea of the french fries made as a part of the sandwich. I generally like my fries off to the side. Lastly I think I prefer the sauce on top of the meat not soaking into the bread under it. Call me fussy I guess. Overall this was a good experience despite my not staying in the place. I'd come back and try something else for sure. Maybe I will try and actual souvlaki platter or a spanikopita. Those are always tasty dishes and I am sure that this place does them well.

I had a lamb gyro from this food truck. It was pretty good. Too many french fries on it but that's a preference thing. it was good. I'd have it again.

Loved it! I've returned after the first time. I got the same thing both times. The lamb gyro platter with the lemon potatoes. It came with a nicely grilled or toasted pita and choice of dip. I asked for the tzatkizi (excellent). Also ordered a side of their hummus. Staff were very friendly when I picked up my order. GO TO THIS PLACE.

There was no wait for a party of 2 plus a high chair. This is a Kid friendly place. The staff were attentive and friendly. The food taste fresh, more seasoned than the usual, but none the less delicious. I Definitely recommend this spot and will be returning to try other menu options.

I won't be eating food from them again. I picked out 2 small bones from their chicken gyro, disgusting.

Ordered here for pickup. I got the chicken gyro pita sandwich and my bf had the chicken souvlaki platter. I really enjoyed the sandwich, I just wish the food had a little more flavor as they heavily relied on the sauces. I added some hot sauce at home for more of a kick. The king sauce was really good and I thought the fries were okay but a nice compliment to be included on the sandwich. I thought the prices were a little high but then I saw that the portions are pretty big, at least for the platter. The pita bread was really good too. My bf shared that he really liked his platter. I would return again! My order was ready quickly after ordering on Seamless.

For the price, the quantity of the food is laughable. This is not fine dining and should not be given so little food. Food quality is not even that great to begin with. In addition, you'll be charged a credit card fee. On the menu, it states it will cost this amount but after I paid, the credit fee shows a different amount. The Greek fries is such a big scam. They throw some fries in a box and add some feta cheese in there and charge $12.

Lamb souvlaki was very salty the lemon potatoes were greasy and the salad was just ok. Overall taste of the dish was salt. The restaurant is very attractive but not welcoming. There was only one other table occupied but made to feel like they did not really want or need our business. No tap water available only bottled. No need to return.

We did delivery. It was fast and delicious. Portions are generous. May try eating in sometime.

Poor service rude... do not respond to calls and they apparently want business .. put me on hold and do not pick up for no reason with attitude... Disgusting first order of business is having a friendly staff

This was a hot night spot for years and now opens as another take on Greek Food in Bay Ridge. King Souvlaki has a food truck following in Astoria Queens and Midtown Manhattan. Overall the food trucks average about 4.5 stars, nice way to go. They have a great story as the owners had the American dream and started their first food truck in 1979. They just opened what I believe is their first store front location about a week ago. From the initial reaction the neighborhood they will be successful. They have good prices, plenty of help, everyone is nice, its very clean and the owners or bosses are on hand which makes a HUGE difference. They have a few restaurants that are direct competition to them. Blue Door across the street and Something Greek which is by 77 street and 3 ave. This was my first visit, they were packed as you can see by my photos, and they are doing a booming take out business as well. Currently they do not have delivery, although they plan on it. They also plan on serving wine and beer although currently it is BYOB which is great until they have their license. I gave them 5 stars for the overall experience, I give credit when a business is well thought out and the owners are proud and put attention to details. The only downside is that it can take about 20 minutes for your main course to come out and that is not for a lack of staffing. They are just very busy. I am sure that will improve over time. The food was very tasty and I tried the chicken breast platter. There is plenty of food. It comes with salad, pita bread, tzatziki, and a choice of lemon potatoes, fries or rice. Everything tasted great. They have an extensive menu although the show stopper was the King Plate. They advertise this as a mouthwatering mix of all four hand stacked gyros. Souvlaki sticks (3) homemade Bifteki and Greek Sausage. All piled over a bed of hand cut fries, toasted Pita Bread, Tzatziki Tirokafteri and king sauce. The small size which is enough for four in my opinion is $38.95 and the large is $59.80 that will serve an army. There are plenty of appetizers and starters to choose from. Cheeses, dips, grilled Portobello mushrooms and more. They offer all kinds of salads and they have Avgolemono soup which is Egg Lemon Chicken. They also have a soup of the day. They offer desert including Greek donuts, Greek yogurt and a desert of the day. I recommend you try them and welcome them to the neighborhood.

Got delivery, via Grubhub. Arrived hot, and on time. Great presentation.... The pork and chicken tasted great. I take stars off because I LOVE a lot of flavor in my food (and my partner is Greek); we felt it was a bit of an Americanized version of Greek food. The tzatziki tasted like sour cream with dill, the hummus tasted like mashed up carrots.... I'm keeping a 3 instead of a 2, because of presentation and timely arrival; also my sister in law said this is her favorite spot in bay ridge-- my partner and my pallet just don't agree.

Ordered takeout during Covid from here and I must say it was delicious! We had chicken and lamb souvlaki both were very good . Fries and spinach pie also yummy . Good service and good prices .

Listen folks, I take Greek food seriously. When done correctly, it's one of my favorite cuisines. I have tried plenty of the takeout spots in Bay Ridge, but hands down, King Souvlaki is my new favorite. For approx. $16/$17 you can get a massive lamb/beef gyro platter with fries, a dressed salad, pita and a dip of your choice. If you add on extra pita for $1.50 (the real pro move here), you can easily feed 2 grown adults. And by feed I mean, you can feed and stuff 2 grown adults. This is a very reasonable price per person. Greek food in this area can get unnecessarily expensive, but not here. Delivery has been fast each time. I have ordered 1 platter and I have ordered 5, but the food always arrives quickly (and still hot).

A true Greek food lovers' delight! We knew we were in for a good meal once we walked in and realized there were no tables available. After a brief wait, we were seated and our feast began. One of the highlights of our meal was our wonderful server Nikolaos. This eatery was no stranger to generous portions, I'd say I was able to get through 1/3 of my entree. The only gripe I have was with the actual beef-lamb meat, which was a little chewy and tough , but tasty nonetheless. For an area that definitely has its fair share of Greek cuisine spots, I'd recommend King Souvlaki if you have a large appetite. But be warned, if you are coming on a weekend night, be prepared to wait (on our way out we noticed the amount of people was much larger than when we came in).

I absolutely love their food! We placed a few large orders from them already that included a wide variety of different dishes. I must say all were very good. Pork Souvlaki is my favorite: I switch up from getting the plate option with lemon potatoes (yum) to the sandwich option! Both are amazing! I also love the soup they serve, nothing like I ever tried. It is a bit thick but I like it. The inside of the restaurant is nice and casual, no need for a gown and heels! The staff though; some are nice ... some need to TRY HARDER to be nice. There is a woman working at the register that sometimes acts as if I am bothering her by placing my order. However other times she is sweet. Not sure if it's something personal but that doesn't change how I feel about this place. A must try !!!

solid fast casual greek eatery in bay ridge. really like their chicken souvlaki and lemon potatoes. but just wonderful platters and solid portion size. some wonderful houses to look at nearby on narrows avenue and beyond between the mid 70's and low 80's streets. and come here to enjoy a good meal. they take cash or credit but if you pay by credit there's a surcharge

Within an hour after having the chicken gyros my family had upset stomachs . The food didn't sit well at all which sucked . There was a relatively strong taste that overwhelmed the gyro . I couldn't see anything unusual after dissecting it so I suspect it's probably some oil that was used that might have been the cause of the unsettled tummys . Either way , I was naturally disappointed because the actual pita bread, the portion and the cut of the meat they give were excellent. I might return and try a different sandwich someday as I'd love to support local businesses now more than ever .

Mediocre gyros and terrible fries. The spinach and feta pie was meh. The only thing that was good was the lemon chicken soup.

I love food trucks! And this place is a food truck that happens to be indoors. Fresh and tasty

It was our first time at this place and we loved it ! Everything was great : hospitality, food , price ! Food was very fresh , delicious, sand we enjoyed our time a lot . Waiter was very attentive We will be definitely back

1. The chicken cubes are dark meat (I didn't know since I always order from diff place. 2. The lemon potatoes can use a sauce. They were a bit dry. 3. Not enough lemon potatoes or salad. I am used to way more food. Greek food usually don't come in 1 plate that's how they provide less food. 4. Loved the rice. Pita and white sauce. Also the Lamb meat was pretty good too.

Food: 4.0/5.0 Service: 3.0/5.0 Value: 4.0/5.0 Decor: 3.5/5.0 Overall: 4.0/5.0 First brick & mortar store for what was previously strictly food truck fare. Relatively basic menu but the food is very good. If you've got a group with you, give the King's Plate a shot (the large is enough for 4-6 large, hungry men to gorge on). Otherwise, the regular dishes are plenty good and sizeable. Clearly lots of Greeks in the restaurant. A bit salty if anything. Happy to come back.

We came here because there was a Greek Heritage festival nearby but their line for food was too long so we walked over to this place which is a black away. We were 7 adults and a child and waited about 30 mins on a Saturday night. It wasn't too bad. We had our Greek friend with us and we decided on the The King Plate large. It was so good!!!! The portion was more than enough for us and got to take some home too! The price was awesome and so glad this is in the neighborhood now. Have to come back out again!

First experience was terrible. I gave them the benefit of the doubt and ordered again via Seamless. When my food arrived, they forgot my drink and the man who delivered my food handed me my gyro without a bag/napkin/utensils. My gyro also arrived extremely early so it was probably an extra gyro the driver had in his car. The fries inside the gyro were stale. It was unsanitary and unprofessional. I won't order and don't recommend.

Food is 5 stars, service could be a bit better. Went a few months ago. Hear me out. We were seated promptly on a Friday night. We waited a while to get someone to stop by and take our order. We notice the table next to us had been there before us and they were taken care of after us. No big deal. Portions are great. Food is absolutely flavorful and fresh. Husband ordered pork gyro and I the lamb. Delish. Truly. We finished up. I asked for what I had left on my plate in a to go box and an extra side of tzatziki. We waited forever for a check and we were sitting right by the register! I just felt like service staff were a little distracted or not trained properly. When I got to my leftovers I realized I didn't get the extra side of tzatziki and I just hoped I wasnt charged for it. 2nd experience left a lot to desire. Ordered for pick up 2 pork gyro platters 1 lamb gyro platter. Got home and they were all pork. So overall, food great, attention and service is lacking.

Came in for the first time on a Saturday night around 8pm and was seated right away by their super friendly staff. The place is very clean and nicely decorated. I ordered the spanakopita platter with lemon potatoes and it was absolutely delicious and is a great price. I will definitely be back again soon!

Long overdue! Thank you King Souvlaki for choosing Bay Ridge and saving us rides in traffic to your other locations. Simply the best of the best !!!

Great portions and delicious! We stopped by for lunch and sat inside where there's plenty of seating inside (and outside) I got the Chicken Gyro Platter and my boyfriend had gotten the Chicken Souvlaki Pita. Would come back next time to try the other meats!

I went in to pickup my order and the woman behind the counter was not wearing a mask and didn't even pretend to be putting one on! My gyros were so dry and they had not included any extra sauce.

Chicken and pork souvlaki were both delicious. Loved the fluffy tzatziki but fries were greasy and soggy by the time we got home. Rice was much better. If we try another time we will try lemon potatoes Service is only so-so. But that's bay ridge for you. Not terribly friendly

DO NOT COME HERE.... The old blonde lady server was extremely rude and disrespectful not only was the food extremely dry and nasty I was sitting down waiting 25 mins for 3 gyros and French fries GO TO BLUEDOOR

Just had a chicken pita, tasted great, tasted different than I've had before, gotta say it was better than I'm used to.

Love ordering from here!! All I have to say is that you have to try their food because is just delicious. I got the chicken gyro platter to go. So hard to explain your experience when the food is good lol but all I've to say is try it for yourself

The food is hit or miss. The first time we visited, it was fairly decent. The second time, it was more of a miss. The two stars are for a severe lack of service though. It took us one hour and 20 minutes to receive a basic greek salad and 2 gyro sandwiches. All while about 4 employees chatted out front, smoking cigarettes, laughing and joking with each other - which is cool, on downtime, and not when patrons are waiting for their food. Also, the inside was completely empty and the outside had only two tables with customers. I honestly do not understand what the hold up was. The waiter ended up apologizing. He forgot to give the chef our order and he never came back out. We reminded the manager, again, after waiting for 40 minutes, and said we would just leave if they still had not filled the order. She assured us they were making it and there was no need to leave. She also said as a courtesy they would offer us a free dessert on the house. Free dessert is nice. It was a kind gesture. It still sucked to have to wait so long for food (insult to injury to see so many of their staff just carelessly enjoying themselves with no regard to us to boot) but it was the gesture. The check arrived and no free dessert came with it. When we mentioned it to the waiter, he said he needed to look into it for us. At that point, we did not want to wait another hour for this free comp to make up for all the waiting. So we left. A restaurant with mediocre food, long wait times and empty promises. Go at your own risk, but Ridge is filled with exceptionally good food and good service. I won't be back.

Delicious food, chicken isn't dry and quite flavorful! Lamb is more favorite out of the two. Delivery was also super fast, took about 15mins. Also love the complimentary dessert! Will definitely be back for more

The review is solely base off of the food we order for take out. Due to COVID19, there is no indoor dining. We ordered The Kings Platter (small) for $85.00. There was 4 of us and we were so stuffed. This Kings Platter was amazing it came with a variety of meats and skewers. All the meats were in one platter. We kept eating and eating couldn't see the bottom of the platter! That was how much meat they gave us. The platter also came with sauces, veggies and pita bread. This meal was definitely worth it for a family style dinner and it tasted so good. I will definitely come back for more

Stopped by this place after long and intense day at work, just wanted to treat myself by enjoying one of my favorite cuisines (along with Italian). Another Greek restaurant across the street where, I usually dine, was closed (Monday) and me and my colleague decided to give King Souvlaki a try. My oh my, the experience definitely exceeded my expectations! We were served by very attentive and friendly waiter (what a shame - I didn't ask his name), the food was delicious and the portions were HUGE! Icing on the cake: the prices are beyond reasonable by New York standards! Me and my colleague left this place delighted and completely full... All in all, great place two blocks from where I live - will definitely recommend and come back again soon;)
