Souvlaki GR
“And enjoyed SGR Souvlaki Pita and chicken skewers as entrees, which was also crack.”
“It's as if Zeus threw down a lightening bolt to create the original ambiance that magically transports one to a sidewalk cafe in Mykonos.”
“We also had some meatballs as the special of the day, with Pita and Tzatziki.”

Very tasty, but I thought the portions were rather small and was surprised that the chicken suvlaki doesn't come with a side. I think it's a little misleading to say "fries" next to it on the menu when that just means there are a couple INSIDE the suvlaki. Anyway, it was delicious. I was just left wanting a little bit.
This little nook on the LES is probably awesome for take out, but if you have the time and want to have a great little date, you'll feel like you've been transported to Greece for an hour. The interior of the restaurant is decorated to look like white and blue Cycladic island houses, so you really feel like you've left New York behind. We split 3 dips (hummus, tazkiki, and garlic dip), the GR gyro, and skewers, and they were all fantastic. And the entire meal, with drinks, was under $60! We will definitely be returning to this summery getaway soon.
I expected a lot more taste considering all the great reviews for the chicken pita but it really wasn't all that tasty to me and it was also very tiny so I was still hungry after trekking all the way to pick it up, which made me wish I also ordered from someplace else to make it more worthwhile.
What a great gem in LES! The interior & ambience of this cozy spot is extremely cute and relaxing. I came here last night around 7:30pm and it wasn't too packed. The staff was very helpful & friendly!
I've also never spent so little on a fulfilling meal that tasted this good, and my cravings were all satisfied. At first I didn't expect too much from the pita wraps, but I am glad I was proven wrong. The SGR option adds a little spice to everything, which is perfect when combined with the tomatoes, onions, meat, and fries!
The pita dip with yogurt & cucumber was more on the bland side, but it was a nice little healthy option before the main course.
Would definitely come back and recommend to everyone!
LOVE LOVE LOVE. I'm in love. Even before I walked into this place, my heart was already taken by the greek inspired exterior & inferior design. My friends and I ordered lamb chops, tzatziki, Greek salad and Greek fries. Simple Greek food with lots of feta cheese action. The lamb chops are the must-try: tender on the inside, crispy on the outside. Service was excellent, with lots of smiling faces with timeliness. Will definitely be back when in town!
Cute Greek restaurant in East Village. Came in here for a quick late lunch bite.
We asked the waitress for some recommendations and she suggested a couple things. In the end we picked the Bifteki Pita (~$7) It was was basically a greek burger wrapped in a pita with sauce, onion, tomato, and feta cheese. There were a few garlic fries in there as well. When it first came I thought it was on the smaller side but I was super hungry. After eating like half of it I realized it was decently heavy. Super satisfied and super yummy!!!!
Food was quick to come, friendly service, and great prices!!!! Def would come back to try other things including the hummus.
Although I've never been to Greece, I love how the restaurant decor makes me feel like I am! Very cute spot.
Prices here are actually quite decent. A chicken souvlaki pita comes at about $7 – not bad, but also not very filling in my opinion. I'd probably be able to eat two of these to feel full. Despite the size, the souvlaki itself tastes great! The fries and tzatziki inside are delicious, and the chicken is juicy!
Good spot to check out, either to satisfy your drunchies, or a quick bite to eat before a night of drinking.
Go here and get the dakos and the Greek fries. with an Epsa lemonade. It will make your life better. The only note I would have is that they need to chill with the dill. I hate dill. And it's in a bunch of stuff including the cheese balls which I wasn't expecting and was a total disappointment. But its not the dakos or the fries or the Epsa, so get those, look around and escape to Mykonos for a few hours (they make a great frappe too!).
