Eater

At this cafe laid out like a tiny Greek village , the off-price wine list alone is worth a visit, and the bread dips are a great deal. Three hefty scoops come with a ton of grilled pita triangles. Read more

Souvlaki GR has made a name for themselves with their expertly chargrilled meat cubes and homemade pita bread . Don't miss the bifteki and the Greek fries topped with feta and oregano . Read more

My favorite Greek spot in NYC! Love the authentic ambience and food. Get feta fries , gyros , kebabs , and all the dips !

Emily Jenkins

This place was so cute and authentic - complete with a little Greek store, sign post and cobbled floor. Loved the hot veggie pita and hummus . Very quick and efficient service , decent prices.

Michael G.

SGR bifteki souvlaki pita is outstanding. Order two or get a skewer on the side since the portions are not huge. Also, the salmon roe spread is among the best I’ve had.

Ruby Anaya

Cute sit down or to go - small but super tasty souvlaki , so get two if you're really hungry. You'll probably want it anyways by the time it takes them to bring you your food.

Alexandros Plexidas

Best thing here, besides the good and proper Greek food like souvlaki , tzatziki and zucchini balls, is the fact that the place is decorated to look like a small street alley in a Cyclades' island .

DoubleDeuce

It's a tight squeeze in here but lots of blue and white Greek energy. The food, wine and decor are thoughtfully chosen and make for a wonderful atmosphere that you'd find in Greece .

Arjun Rao

One of the most unique places I've been to. It had a club vibe going but the atmosphere sort of gets to you after a bit. Get the pita wraps . And the tzatziki is glorious.

Nicolette Romero

You'll feel like you're in Greece once you step inside. The menu is mostly meats - I recommend the chicken and pork skewers . The pita they serve with any of the skewers is so good!

Damian Bayona

Delicious Greek at a reasonable price and welcoming decor. Get a pita and split an order of fries with friends. Wash it down w a Greek beer or wine .

Minsoo

Greek fries & Souvlaki (pork ) & Pita with mezze ! Went with my greek friends and we fully enjoyed the food & interior of this place :)

Serious Eats

Souvlaki GR just gets pork souvlaki right. When it's wrapped in soft, chewy pita with tomato chunks, red onion , and cooling tzatziki , it's just about perfect.

TAMMY GIA

Great greet food! And it makes u feel like u r setting outside a taverna in santorini!

Kaitlin Siemering

Make sure to try to Greek fries ! The meat plater for two is a great way to try a little of all the meats! The chicken and pork were my favorite though.

Berk Kapicioglu

This is an amazing restaurant for having dinner with groups. Classic Greek hospitality . They serve Turkish food with Greek names. Love it.

Claire J Song

Three hefty scoops for $15 (out of a choice of seven). kebabs in a pita sandwich , which comes stuffed with a brochette of your choice, tomato , purple onions , tzatziki , and french fries .

陳雄暉 弟兄

Get your Greek on! Stuff yourself with chicken and pork skewers and souvlakis . And the lamb chops , tender and done well . Don't ask for ketchup with your fries .

Orinda Kalemi

Amazing place for a quick tasty, affordable meal . Service was very quick, and the decor and ambience was beautiful. Def a must if you're in LES.

Steve Androulakis

Tasty Greek food . Maybe not as traditional as the interior design would lead you to believe but still nice and well priced.

Kat

Chicken souvlaki & pita basket: NOM! Kosta will show you a great time in the sounds of nostalgic Greek music . Try the Greek-American ouzo soda and treat yourself to Greek delicacies from the periptero

@HungryEditor Ben Setiawan

Order at least 2 pitas for a meal or just 1 pita for a snack . If you're hungry, also grab an order of Greek fries w/ feta . The portion is big enough to share.

Serious Eats

A homey spot for Greek souvlaki done right. The pita is fluffy, the hummus is fresh, and the fries are topped with feta and oregano .

Elena Bulatovskaya

I loved the SGR Souvlaki Pita with chicken . Perfect amount of everything. Also, get the fries with the feta cheese . They are AMAZING.

Sissi Nie

If you are looking to do a big (and potentially rowdy) birthday dinner but without breaking the bank , this is the perfect spot.

Baturalp

Get lamb chops and thank me later. Greek salad and spreads are pretty good as well . Try the fries with feta !

Jack Gashi

I like this jurnt. It's a cool vibe, in that you might see some smokin' Mediterranean babes that rip cigs and eat feta cause they DGAF. Don't ask for ketchup , you'll look dumb.

Brad Klein

Greek fries . Amazing tzatziki . Chicken Souvlaki (pita ). Wash down w Fix or Mythos. Hopa!

Eraklis Diamataris

The oven cooked feta cheese and classic gyro are great. The interior decoration makes you feel as if you're on a Greek island . Great place

Kimmie Ohh

Get the SGR souvlaki . Doesn’t matter if chicken or pork - both options are equally flavorful & tender.

Yvette Liu

Great authentic souvlaki ! Just like the ounces in Greece where they add fries !!only thing is too small and only 4 fries are stuffed inside...😂

Fadia Kader

Affordable and really good! The Greek fries portion was huge and enough to share with multiple people! The bifteki was really tender! Enjoy!

Mel

The dips are great, the pita that comes with it, even better. The pita wraps are delicious, but small, so get a side.

Paige C

This place is authentic , delicious and beautiful. You feel like you're in Mykonos! Amazing service as well !

N U

Think I ate everything in the menu so far. It is all so fresh and delicious. Feels like home ❤️

Mia S

Fantastic moussaka and loukoumades! Tight space though, and chairs are hard to maneuver.

Ty Trippet

They are adding shrimp to the menu on certain nights and it is possibly the best shrimp I've had in years. Greek salad is among the best in town .

Lou Carulli

Passed this place a few times. Went in for a drink and quick bite with Greek friends. They said it was on point!

Time Out New York

Try the pork souvlaki : herb-marinated pork butt seared over wood-charcoal embers and served in a fluffy grilled pita . It’s one of our #100best dishes and drinks of 2011. Read more

L. T.

The apps are GREAT. Pita is a must. Definitely get the coffee frappe and ask for Baily's in it! Delicious.

Dr Foodie

Greek salad 🥗 lamb chops , fries with feta cheese & lamb or chicken souvlaki wrap similar to shawerma wrap

Jenna Odett Laskin

Skip the hot veggie pita . Fresh Greek salad . Good quick cheap option before or after a show at Rockwood

Lears Fool

Holy Neptune the Souvlaki and Greek Fries combo is exceptional. I have electric blue dreams of this meal.

Thomas Pajor

The Pita Souvlaki is nothing short of excellent. Combine it with an appetizer for a perfect meal.

Stefano Guidolin

Best souvlaki and best pita in NYC! It's like being in Greece : simple, delicious and cheap .

Elizabeth Burstein

Delicious chicken souvloki, spanakopita , and skewer . Could have skipped the house wine

Karima Rasul

Amazingly fresh Greek food that makes you feel like you're on a Greek island . Sit by the windows for a nice breeze on a sunny day.

Kelsey✨

get the octopus ! and the spicy feta to share

etta y

Everything is good, down to the lowly Prasini salad . Should be simple to make myself and yet I MUST order it every chance I get.

Celine Galliano

Everything is amazing! Pitas are my favorites with Greek salad and fries .

Get here early to avoid long waits. At 5:30pm on a Monday the place was mostly empty. All great: spicy cheese dip, horiatiki, octopus, mama's roast chicken. The best? Fries w/ feta and mustard sauce. - Jose Pablo Mangeri
