Souvla

Souvla is a group of modern fast-fine Greek restaurants with locations throughout San Francisco. Inspired by casual souvlaki joints found throughout Greece. We rotisserie roast naturally-raised meats and wrap them in our warm, fluffy pita bread with seasonal salads and Greek yogurt sauces. (The word “souvla” means “spit” or “skewer” in Greek — the rod on which meat is roasted.) Our Greek fries have made a whole lot of “best fry” lists, and don’t miss out on our frozen Greek yogurt served in our version of the classic “NY Cup.” The first Souvla opened its doors in April, 2014 in Hayes Valley, and in the four years since, have opened locations in San Francisco's NoPa, Mission and Marina neighborhoods.
