Souvlaki GR

Great place. Food was really good, and the service was five stars, thank you Nico.

Food was outstanding. Really fresh. I will definitely be coming back here.

The food was clean, The service was exceptional, and the atmosphere makes you feel like you’re in Greece. The indoor outdoor setting is awesome. My wife and I will definitely be going back to Souvlaki GR. Best Greek Restaurant in Boynton Beach, Florida and possibly even South Florida.

Finally got around to trying this place. Made a reservation, a few days in advance via their affiliation with Resy and it was confirmed twice; once via text and once via email, with a follow up text re-confirming the day of the reservation. Since I don’t trust the Resy platform, I decided to call and ensure they had our reservation for that evening and of course they didn’t have it, no big deal as they gave me a reservation at the requested time for that evening (last night, April 9th). Upon arrival it’s a flurry of activity, bustling crowd, which is nice to see on a Tuesday night, but in all candor, the staff and perhaps who I believed to be the owner, were running around in a chaotic manner, like “no-one know’s what’s going on”. This environment of “Service” being out of sorts or confused permeated the evening and is very noticeable. With the exception of what I presume was the owners wife, who was calm, relaxed, conversational and brought us free desert at the end of our meal (not sure if that is routine, but very very nice and yummy too). Here’s the deal: every restaurant is busy, with sometimes large parties or groups(which was the case). This isn’t the first time they are experiencing this and it’s evident there’s no discipline around a process of responsibility and staying cool under pressure. Our waiter btw, was very good and the food came on time and was hot, but his attention was frequently diverted to others as a result of miscommunication amongst staff. Lastly, all three “special” requests had to be re-requested in order to get what we needed: flat bottled water, a vegan menu (which the entire one is online, so you must ask for it) and 1 second drink, a beer. The food:, Apps’s were very good, pita, hummus and garlic whip, Horiatiki salad and Souvlaki. The mains were, grilled octopus, Kritharoto Thalasinon Orzo seafood and Bifteki Gemisto, with two sides of lemon potatoes & fries. All dishes were very good, but both potato sides were “the Bomb”, as in probably the best lemon potatoes and fries I’ve had in south Florida. Standouts for me besides the potatoes were the Souvlaki and the Horiatiki salad, great ripe tomatoes and creamy feta, with crunchy cucumbers. We don’t normally eat desert, but when it came, we were glad that it did, both the Rizogalo and Bakalava were outstanding. I always ask myself the question; “ would I return “? Answer is yes, I would sit at the lovely looking bar and have lunch. My only regret is not trying the fresh fish, next time for lunch when it’s hopefully less chaotic. Lastly, there’s not a lot of private dining space, it’s more of a family style seating atmosphere. Hats off for them though for doing what they do, it’s not easy. Vegetarian options: Vegan option are a strong component Parking: Free parking in the large plaza Wheelchair accessibility: Plenty of indoor and outdoor space for wheelchairs in this ground level restaurant

I ordered the Souvlaki Pita with Lamb. Overall it tasted good. The portion size however, was small. Barely any meat. Especially for $11.24. It comes with fries inside of the pita and when I ordered online, it stated(fries can be removed but will not be served on the side). I find this odd but at the same time, if people ordered without fries, half the pita would be gone. The first half of eating was juicy meat, veggies, sauce. The second half was potato after potato. Didn’t seem distributed accordingly. Haven’t tried anything else on their menu, but this item is a solid 3
