At this cafe laid out like a tiny Greek village, the off-price wine list alone is worth a visit, and the bread dips are a great deal. Three hefty scoops come with a ton of grilled pita triangles. Read more

Souvlaki GR has made a name for themselves with their expertly chargrilled meat cubes and homemade pita bread. Don't miss the bifteki and the Greek fries topped with feta and oregano. Read more

My favorite Greek spot in NYC! Love the authentic ambience and food. Get feta fries, gyros, kebabs, and all the dips!

This place was so cute and authentic- complete with a little Greek store, sign post and cobbled floor. Loved the hot veggie pita and hummus. Very quick and efficient service, decent prices.

SGR bifteki souvlaki pita is outstanding. Order two or get a skewer on the side since the portions are not huge. Also, the salmon roe spread is among the best I’ve had.

Cute sit down or to go - small but super tasty souvlaki, so get two if you're really hungry. You'll probably want it anyways by the time it takes them to bring you your food.

Best thing here, besides the good and proper Greek food like souvlaki, tzatziki and zucchini balls, is the fact that the place is decorated to look like a small street alley in a Cyclades' island.

It's a tight squeeze in here but lots of blue and white Greek energy. The food, wine and decor are thoughtfully chosen and make for a wonderful atmosphere that you'd find in Greece.
Arjun RaoJuly 1, 2015
One of the most unique places I've been to. It had a club vibe going but the atmosphere sort of gets to you after a bit. Get the pita wraps. And the tzatziki is glorious.
Nicolette RomeroNovember 22, 2014
You'll feel like you're in Greece once you step inside. The menu is mostly meats - I recommend the chicken and pork skewers. The pita they serve with any of the skewers is so good!

Greek fries & Souvlaki (pork) & Pita with mezze! Went with my greek friends and we fully enjoyed the food & interior of this place :)
Damian BayonaJuly 23, 2017
Delicious Greek at a reasonable price and welcoming decor. Get a pita and split an order of fries with friends. Wash it down w a Greek beer or wine.
Serious EatsApril 25, 2013
Souvlaki GR just gets pork souvlaki right. When it's wrapped in soft, chewy pita with tomato chunks, red onion, and cooling tzatziki, it's just about perfect.

Great greet food! And it makes u feel like u r setting outside a taverna in santorini!
Berk KapiciogluOctober 9, 2016
This is an amazing restaurant for having dinner with groups. Classic Greek hospitality. They serve Turkish food with Greek names. Love it.
Kaitlin SiemeringAugust 18, 2015
Make sure to try to Greek fries! The meat plater for two is a great way to try a little of all the meats! The chicken and pork were my favorite though.
Claire J SongJune 17, 2015
Three hefty scoops for $15 (out of a choice of seven). kebabs in a pita sandwich, which comes stuffed with a brochette of your choice, tomato, purple onions, tzatziki, and french fries.
Serious EatsMarch 19, 2013
A homey spot for Greek souvlaki done right. The pita is fluffy, the hummus is fresh, and the fries are topped with feta and oregano.
陳雄暉弟兄April 17, 2015
Get your Greek on! Stuff yourself with chicken and pork skewers and souvlakis. And the lamb chops, tender and done well. Don't ask for ketchup with your fries.
Orinda KalemiAugust 19, 2012
Amazing place for a quick tasty, affordable meal. Service was very quick, and the decor and ambience was beautiful. Def a must if you're in LES.
Steve AndroulakisAugust 6, 2014
Tasty Greek food. Maybe not as traditional as the interior design would lead you to believe but still nice and well priced.
KatNovember 27, 2011
Chicken souvlaki & pita basket: NOM! Kosta will show you a great time in the sounds of nostalgic Greek music. Try the Greek-American ouzo soda and treat yourself to Greek delicacies from the periptero
@HungryEditor Ben SetiawanDecember 23, 2012
Order at least 2 pitas for a meal or just 1 pita for a snack. If you're hungry, also grab an order of Greek fries w/ feta. The portion is big enough to share.
Elena BulatovskayaMarch 18, 2017
I loved the SGR Souvlaki Pita with chicken. Perfect amount of everything. Also, get the fries with the feta cheese. They are AMAZING.
Eraklis DiamatarisJuly 11, 2013
The oven cooked feta cheese and classic gyro are great. The interior decoration makes you feel as if you're on a Greek island. Great place

If you are looking to do a big (and potentially rowdy) birthday dinner but without breaking the bank, this is the perfect spot.

Greek fries. Amazing tzatziki. Chicken Souvlaki (pita). Wash down w Fix or Mythos. Hopa!
Jack GashiSeptember 7, 2014
I like this jurnt. It's a cool vibe, in that you might see some smokin' Mediterranean babes that rip cigs and eat feta cause they DGAF. Don't ask for ketchup, you'll look dumb.

Get lamb chops and thank me later. Greek salad and spreads are pretty good as well. Try the fries with feta!
Meric AkkanNovember 6, 2014
Great atmosphere, just like Athens. Perfect hummus and souvlaki! Be careful with tzatziki it has a ton of garlic.
MelAugust 6, 2014
The dips are great, the pita that comes with it, even better. The pita wraps are delicious, but small, so get a side.
Fadia KaderJuly 20, 2013
Affordable and really good! The Greek fries portion was huge and enough to share with multiple people! The bifteki was really tender! Enjoy!
Yvette LiuSeptember 3, 2015
Great authentic souvlaki! Just like the ounces in Greece where they add fries!!only thing is too small and only 4 fries are stuffed inside...😂
Kimmie OhhDecember 2, 2019
Get the SGR souvlaki. Doesn’t matter if chicken or pork - both options are equally flavorful & tender.
Paige CJune 12, 2014
This place is authentic, delicious and beautiful. You feel like you're in Mykonos! Amazing service as well!
Ty TrippetMarch 15, 2013
They are adding shrimp to the menu on certain nights and it is possibly the best shrimp I've had in years. Greek salad is among the best in town.
N UOctober 16, 2015
Think I ate everything in the menu so far. It is all so fresh and delicious. Feels like home ❤️
Dr FoodieMay 15, 2017
Greek salad 🥗 lamb chops, fries with feta cheese & lamb or chicken souvlaki wrap similar to shawerma wrap
Mia SMarch 27, 2023
Fantastic moussaka and loukoumades! Tight space though, and chairs are hard to maneuver.
Karima RasulMay 12, 2012
Amazingly fresh Greek food that makes you feel like you're on a Greek island. Sit by the windows for a nice breeze on a sunny day.
Time Out New YorkOctober 5, 2011
Try the pork souvlaki: herb-marinated pork butt seared over wood-charcoal embers and served in a fluffy grilled pita. It’s one of our #100best dishes and drinks of 2011. Read more
Lou CarulliJanuary 4, 2018
Passed this place a few times. Went in for a drink and quick bite with Greek friends. They said it was on point!
Angie RamanAugust 15, 2017
Best ever chicken souvlaki! I ordered the SGR Souvlaki pita which has delicious spicy feta in it 😍😍
L. T.June 9, 2015
The apps are GREAT. Pita is a must. Definitely get the coffee frappe and ask for Baily's in it! Delicious.

Taste the most traditional Greek souvlaki and other delicious recipes of Greece in a place that is like being in Greece in NYC !!!!!
Thomas PajorAugust 2, 2015
The Pita Souvlaki is nothing short of excellent. Combine it with an appetizer for a perfect meal.
Stefano GuidolinAugust 29, 2014
Best souvlaki and best pita in NYC! It's like being in Greece: simple, delicious and cheap.
Jenna Odett LaskinSeptember 2, 2016
Skip the hot veggie pita. Fresh Greek salad. Good quick cheap option before or after a show at Rockwood
Lears FoolJune 15, 2015
Holy Neptune the Souvlaki and Greek Fries combo is exceptional. I have electric blue dreams of this meal.
