They have the best food. Their lamb is better than the other carts also.

The meat here is solid with good flavor, but the real standout for me are the feta fries — they’re excellent and honestly one of the highlights in a neighborhood that already has plenty of good souvlaki.
That said, there are a few downsides. They’re cash only, which is frustrating since I don’t always carry cash, and it’s often the reason I end up skipping them. As a food truck, seating is very limited, so don’t expect to eat right there. A good option is to walk over to Athens Square Park nearby.
One thing that does need improvement is the setup around the truck. Cars often double-park behind King Souvlaki to pick up food, blocking the crosswalk. It makes walking in that area unpleasant, especially with the smoke from the grill. I wish they would address that, because the food itself is worth coming for

I’ve been eating at King Souvlaki since I moved to Astoria in 2007, and they’ve consistently served some of the best street food I’ve ever had. I’ve tried street food from all over the country, and few compare to the quality and flavor at King Souvlaki.
This past summer, I traveled to Crete for the first time — yes, Greece itself — expecting to finally taste souvlaki that might outdo what I’d been getting back home. Guess what? It didn’t. Not even close. The chicken and lamb from King Souvlaki were more flavorful, more tender, more alive than anything I had on the island. That should be impossible — but they’ve done it!
The best part is, King Souvlaki has always kept their prices fair. During tough times, they were my go-to spot for a satisfying meal, and even now that things are better, I still keep coming back. Their food is just as good as many high-end restaurants, if not better.
But it’s not just about the food. King Souvlaki is part of the fabric of Astoria. For as long as I have lived in Astoria , nearly two decades, people from all walks of life , and backgrounds , people popping out of high end luxury vehicles , and people in need , have lined up drawn by the smell of that aromatic sizzling meat. That’s what makes it more than just a food truck. It’s a community staple.
As someone who bikes around Astoria almost everyday myself , I appreciate your stance on the bike lane issue. It’s being pushed on the grounds of safety but this premise is clearly false . Everyone that lives in this neighborhood can see the proposed bike lane will create gridlock. Cars will not have adequate room to maneuver when parking without holding up traffic and the fire department has warned emergency vehicles won’t be able to pass through this important artery quickly …all for a redundant bike lane. (We already have one 3 blocks down crossing through Astoria via crescent street )
Lastly, leaving negative reviews out of spite is disgraceful and petty. For anyone who thinks activism is about trying to hurt many beloved local businesses that have been here for years, for their cause, maybe Astoria isn’t for you. Real New Yorkers support their neighborhood businesses , not tear it down over a bike lane . King Souvlaki is Astoria, and as long as it remains , I’ll keep showing up for some of the best souvlaki in the world.
