Former first lady Michelle Obama likes Souvla’s the traditionalGreek food so much, she ordered it for a recent plane ride from San Francisco to Washington, D.C. And then she wrote the restaurant staff a letter of thanks.

Souvla is a fine-fast Greek restaurantO with locations in San Francisco’s Hayes Valley, NoPa and Mission neighborhoods, 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 the classic “NY Cup.”

The first Souvla opened its doors in April, 2014 in Hayes Valley, and its second in the NoPa neighborhood in June, 2016. Our third San Francisco location opened in January, 2017 in San Francisco’s vibrant Mission District.
