“We had an exceptional lunch experience at this absolute gem of a restaurant. From the zucchini cakes to the hummus to the grilled octopus to the dolmathes to the Souvlaki sandwiches, everything we ordered was downright delicious! Flavors were distinctive and so flavorful. Although we sampled multiple dishes, they were all prepared in a way that it felt like a light meal. The server was friendly, timely, and helpful. The manager was attentive and checked in on us as well. The atmosphere is cozy and we were comfortable. I highly recommend. Yes. GOOOO!!“

“Great wine, food and atmosphere. One salad is more than enough for two people. We got the Retsina wine which was off the hook, soft, velvety and delicious. We got the soup which was reminiscent of Tom Kha in a way and also delicious. Greek fries and lamb salad were also made just right and the food was brought out so quickly. The location is nice and romantic in a way. My wife and I enjoyed the experience very much. Thank you Souvla!“

“This place will forever be my favorite FiDi eatery. Everything is delicious and I've literally never had a bad meal here. It's consistently great every time. It's really tough for them because the neighborhood has changed so much since COVID and I'm sure it's a struggle because of the significantly reduced foot traffic, but they're always super friendly and service is fast. Don't ever change, Ayola!“

“Good gyros. My favorite is the beef and lamb gyro. Ground meat kebab can be a bit hit or miss, but the texture isn't too fine, and the meat isn't sliced too thinly, which I like. The prices for all the gyros is the same, which is a little odd to me and makes the falafel feel like a bad deal, it's still good.“

“The fries are crispy and well fried. The shawarmas are 85% meat. The meat has been cooked perfectly, and is both juicy and greasy, which pair well with the smokiness of the burnt pieces of the heated wrap.

my go to place for beer and shawarma“

“The food was absolutely delicious—every dish was bursting with authentic Greek flavors. The ingredients were fresh, and the presentation was impeccable. The service was prompt and attentive, ensuring that my dining experience was smooth and enjoyable.

Whether you're craving a hearty gyro, fresh salad, or flavorful souvlaki, Nick the Greek delivers on all fronts. I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a memorable and satisfying Greek meal. I'll definitely be returning soon!“

“This was my first time here but definitely not my last!!! Friendly service and delicious food!!! I loved the unique flavors in the chicken wrap…fennel and orange slices…delicious pita bread!!! The frozen Greek yogurt with a choice of syrup topping was so good 🥰“

“A great spot to stop by with the weather improving.

Even though not too busy on a friday midday the food was fresh and more than filled me up for $15.

Had a minor issue that was resolved quickly and guys were super nice.

The atmosphere at the parklet setup was good too.

Stop by for lunch and get refreshed before going back to the grind.“

“I give the highest caterer recommendation to Ikaros To Go (catering by the team that ran Ikaros restaurant). They planned and managed a very delicious memorial dinner for us for approximately 75 guests. The customer service and food were excellent - our menu included roasted salmon, vegetarian mousaka, rice, Greek salad and garlic bread, plus dessert of Baklava and sugar cookies which everyone also loved. They also handled dinnerware, water, lots of set up and clean up, soft drinks and pretty bottled Greek waters for the tables. They were extremely considerate, thoughtful, flexible, organized and reliable. Ikaros to Go went above and beyond and made our event very special. We are very grateful - Thank you Ikaros to Go!“

“Troy has the best french fries in town, maybe in the entire East Bay. Get the Greek Fries--crispy on the outside and never greasy. The portion is huge and will disappear minutes after hitting the table. Addictive! Very friendly service. A great spot.“

“This place is amazing, from the service to the food itself.

I came in looking to try something different and was very happy with what I ordered. The veggies are very fresh and refreshing, I have been 4 different times trying different items and have never been disappointed.“

“I love this tiny delicious place. I found it when I attended the San Francisco Paramedic Association that used to be on Mission. The gyros and fries are amazing. I dont get to the city often as of late but Im so glad Ayola survived through the pandemic. So good!“

“great food! period. love it“

“I ordered the Salmon plater it was fresh, the rice was so good and instead of hummus I ordered salad which was also great, and the thin bread omg it was amazing everything was delicious. The price it's right loved it!! I just started working around the area so I had a great experience it clean and smelled clean.“

“All around good Greek comfort food with Greek standards filling the menu. The meats tend to be a bit overcooked and tough but the flavors are there. I enjoy the salads and the meze platter. The service has always been friendly and professional. It's a great place to stop for lunch or casual dinner.“

“Came here since it was so close to where I live and got recommended the beef and lamb gyro!

Good:
- The beef and lamb gyro was great indeed - perfect portion size, had a ton of stuff inside it and the texture was crunchy and savory
- I liked how quick the service was, and it was easy to find seating inside

Bad:
- The music was super loud here and it was more casual of a place

Overall this was a quick pit stop and would come again for a gyro craving“

“Great food, fast efficient service, reasonable price. I had the large lamb gyro at a decent price and it was nicely seasoned, full of fresh lettuce tomato cucumber and onion, and had great tzatziki. They offered hot sauce which I took and it was a great optional addition for me as a spice lover. While waiting I drank free water from a dispenser on the counter and enjoyed the fact that these folks are running a small and quick cafe with authentic food, and not pretending to be my fake friend with effusive over the top “service”. Highly recommended if you enjoy good food and don’t require “the help” to supplicate to you.“

“Absolutely delicious!“

“EXACTLY what I was looking for for breakfast! Feta, spinach, and mushroom omelet, with a fresh made blueberry scone. All were delicious! Husband had a chicken apple sausage breakfast pita with a piece of baklava, and it was all fantastic too. Service was great. Would absolutely eat here again!“

“Cheap, simple and filling. Way cheaper than oasis grill. A lamb/beef shawarma is standard and the meat tastes good, priced about 12 bucks. (oasis is around 21 bucks) Good serving size too. The lamb/beef is halal thankfully, heads up the chicken is not halal. Overall I like this since it's convenient, quick, saving. Staff is extremely friendly. Go to in the neighborhood. Will be visiting more often.“

“Food was delicious. Vibe was laid back. Acoustics (ability to hear my companion) were good, although the restaurant wasn't completely full at the time. I ordered the shaksuka, which tasted great, but I didn't feel full afterwards. My friend ordered a brunch plate with eggs, lamb, salad, and potatoes and it was quite ample and delicious. I think I'll get that the next time I go there. This was my first time to this venue, and I definitely want to go back.“

“The BEST food in all San Francisco! The deal on uber right now (incomparable), especially for the quality of food. The staff make this restaurant extremely successful. Very consistent quality and such a great deal. I go almost every day. I think this is the restaurant that will give chipotle a run for their money as long as I can get 2 bowls for $19.28 - Absolutely affordable!“

“Great food lovely location“

“I can't say anything about the inside of the restaurant since I had Uber eats deliver from 8mile. It was my first time having detroit style pizza. So my expectations were super high. Let me tell you they did not disappoint. I went with the classic pepperoni and had them add extra garlic. It was delicious next time I'm in San Francisco I will have to stop by.“

“Private club, but can be used by members for business entertaining, unlike most. Quiet, nicely decorated, no oafs wearing baseball caps slobbering food at the next table.Regular food/wine special events with experts. Membership dues are quite reasonable.“
