Description
Souvla is a renowned Greek restaurant in San Francisco, celebrated for its modern take on traditional Greek cuisine. Founded in 2014 by Charles Bililies, a Greek-American chef with a background in fine dining, Souvla offers a "fast-fine" dining experience that combines quality ingredients with a casual atmosphere. The restaurant's design draws inspiration from lesser-known Greek islands, featuring materials like textured plaster and weathered copper, creating a warm and inviting space.
The menu at Souvla is centered around spit-roasted meats, including lamb, chicken, and pork, served in pita sandwiches or as salads. Notable dishes include the Lamb Sandwich, Chicken Salad, and Greek Fries, all of which have garnered positive reviews for their flavor and freshness (Yelp). For dessert, the Frozen Greek Yogurt is a standout, with flavors like Baklava Crumbles & Syrup and Greek Olive Oil & Flaky Sea Salt.
Souvla operates multiple locations across San Francisco, including Hayes Valley, NoPa, Mission, Marina, and Dogpatch neighborhoods. Each location offers a selection of Greek wines and beers, enhancing the dining experience. The restaurant also emphasizes sustainability, using compostable packaging for takeout orders and offering a selection of zero-proof beverages like Greek iced tea and sparkling water.
