"If you come here when it’s busy, it’s even better for you since you’ll have to stand in line for a while, but going to Souvla is always a great option. The menu is simple, with only a few proteins in salad or sandwich form, and we usually go for the chicken salad or the lamb wrap. When you’re ordering though, go ahead and make the decision to get some Greek frozen yogurt for your walk when you’re done." - taylor abrams, will kamensky
"Souvla may technically be SF’s answer to fast casual, but that doesn’t stop this place from making really delicious Greek food. It’s a good spot to catch up with a few friends or go on a very casual date. Order the chicken salad or the lamb sandwich, skip the fries and opt for the juicy potatoes that are cooked in the rotisserie drippings instead, and get some frozen Greek Yogurt, which is good enough to merit a trip alone." - will kamensky
"Your Order: Chicken Salad This salad from the fast-casual Greek(ish) mini-chain is an old faithful for time-pressed people. Those in a time crunch wolf down the salad like The Hulk, but it’s pretty damn delicious when you have plenty of leisure hours, too. The citrus, fennel, pickled onion, and greens are drenched in a creamy olive oil dressing, but the salad never feels heavy. This is great news for all ingredients—especially the warm shredded chicken that soaks it up like a sponge. " - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez
"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
"San Francisco diners can’t get enough of Souvla, which has even inspired marriage proposals. The popular Greek restaurant with locations across the city keeps the menu simple, so diners pick a protein, opt for a salad for a wrap — then drop the healthy pretenses and pile on Greek fries with harissa yogurt and Greek frozen yogurt with baklava crumbles." - Eater Staff
