Souvla - San Francisco

This restaurant stinks. Literally. I've never like the smell of boiled chicken or whatever it is they do with the poor creatures here. It's impossible to escape it in there and it stuck on me after I left when I got home. Maybe a lot of people don't even notice it. Maybe they're not attuned to it. I can't go in there. They do not provide decent vegetarian options. Their fries are kinda greasy and they sprinkle cheese on them reflexively and without awareness that customers might not want it. True I could have maybe read a little more carefully into the menu item to see that there was cheese on it. But I just think this is expressive of the generally omnivorous nature of their menu. My partner and I went in yesterday because we were looking for some French fries. They were kinda greasy, and cheesy. Maybe some people like them that way. We don't.

We went here to taste the frozen yogurt with baklava and we made a good choice. It was like to eat a healthy ice cream ?The yogurt was a little citrous but merging the very sweet baklava earned a fabulous flavor. When you have eaten just the yogurt for a while it tastes better.I recommend you to try it!

I could honestly eat the chicken salad at Souvla everyday because is it THAT good a winning combination of crisp greens, fresh fennel, refreshing navel orange, and tangy pickled red onions, all tossed with a light dressing *chef's kiss* . Yes, the entrees are on the pricier side a sandwich is $1 cheaper than a salad , but accept no imitations!While the Souvla in Hayes Valley gets a lot of hype, I'm personally very fond of the Valencia location. Service is extremely fast and seating isn't too big of an issue, even on the weekends. If it's your first time ever, the frozen Greek yogurt is a must!

Lamb Sandwich, great lamb meat yogurt,cucumber and ralish giro style sandwich worth the try. Bear the oil that comes with it, it made my pants a mess.Veggie Salad bowl, olives, kale, lettuce,nuts, greek yogurt and sweet potato make this salad a great choice for a kinda healthy option.Blue Mak Greek beer, refreshing pale ale beer good to combine with the dishes.

There's something to be said about consistency and Souvla is consistently pretty ok except their frozen Greek yogurt, which are consistently excellent! The flavor is a little lacking and the protein is usually dry. Service is quick, and they're pretty fast to bring your food to you except the froyo which you see them prepare in front of you. For the price and portions it's not the best but it's consistently an option. But at the end of the day I'll always go for their froyo
