"This Greek mini-chain is an easy, quick, and delicious option for lunch, especially when a sad salad just won’t cut it. Everything on the menu is available in pita sandwich or salad form, and our favorites are the chicken and the lamb. But no matter what, you need to order the juicy potatoes cooked in the meat drippings from the spit and the frozen Greek yogurt topped with baklava, which we like to grab on the way out and eat while window shopping for artisan candles around the neighborhood." - julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong
"Souvla’s tangy frozen Greek yogurt is super refreshing on a warm day, and we inexplicably crave it, Pavlov-style, every time it’s sunny and clear out. They have four toppings to choose from: baklava, sour cherry syrup, olive oil and sea salt, and honey, and you can’t go wrong no matter what you choose." - julia chen 1, lani conway, patrick wong
"Souvla's whole roast chicken is available on its own or rounded out with juicy potatoes, a side salad, and your choice of yogurt dipping sauce. As for the chicken itself, it's Souvla's signature spit-roasted, feta-brined rotisserie chicken." - Eater Staff
"Souvla is a casual date spot, and one couple even got engaged there recently — what a coronavirus romance." - Becky Duffett
"Souvla, a favorite local Greek fast-casual restaurant in NoPa, was the site of a surprise proposal. Sam Goldstein sent a heartfelt email to Souvla, and owner Charles Bililies opened up the restaurant, helping to arrange a sign in the front window, along with photos and roses for the proposal. The restaurant played a significant role in the couple’s relationship as it was the site of their first official date. Goldstein and Simone turned up at Souvla on a Saturday morning, where Goldstein proposed. Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, Souvla provided a memorable and generous setting for this special moment." - Becky Duffett
