Food pretty good but the service has not been good last several times. Wait staff in a big hurry. Not terribly polite or warm or friendly . Clunky around the plates and clearing the table, the service feels like a diner mentality not a restaurant.

This place was super cute. The atmosphere mimics Greece and the food was delish.
The drinks were tasty, but not very strong and the servers were amazing.

We had a wonderful experience at Souvlaki GR. The food was fresh, flavorful, and authentic. This quaint little hole in the wall restaurant shouldn’t be overlooked! We had 7 in our party and made reservations in advance. The restaurant was packed on a Monday night at 8pm. For the table, we ordered chicken, pork and shrimp kebabs that were delicious, as well as some hummus and feta spreads, pastitsio, spanakopita, and fries. The baklava was also perfect! You definitely will be bumping shoulders in this tight space but the food, waitstaff, and experience are worth it. Thank you for the attentive service!

I love Greek food and was excited when a co worker recommended this place. We were traveling for a work conference and came to Souvlaki GR. The place looks great but the server/host was terrible. She instantly had an attitude. We ordered the 3 different dips- spicy feta, hummus and tzatziki and a drink to start. We were unsure of our entree and asked for some more time. We were met with the rudest look and the server walked away. We continued looking and enjoyed our dips and drinks. A while later she finally came back and we ordered our entree. Once she took the order, she snatched the menus and walked away. The food was pretty good. I've honestly tasted better greek food but I needed to eat before making my way home. We waited even longer for the server to appear with the bill for which I never received my receipt. I had to go and didn't plan on waiting around. I still tipped her although I sincerely think she didn't deserve it. For the amount of money spent there the service was abysmal and the overall experience was ruined. I had wonderful experiences in other places during my time in NY. But this is a place I definitely won't return to.

I got the lamb shank with potatoes. It was what I was looking for, a tasty, healthy meal. The classic Greek interior was a refreshing change from my usual. The server was great and helped me make the right choice!
