Greek restaurant in San Francisco, CA
4.5 · 515 reviewsOpens today at 11 AMOpens today at 11 AM
Souvla is a fast-fine group of modern Greek restaurants with locations throughout San Francisco. Inspired by casual souvlaki joints found throughout Greece. We rotisserie roast naturally-raised meats and wrap them in our warm, fluffy pita bread with seasonal salads and Greek yogurt sauces. (The word “souvla” means “spit” or “skewer” in Greek — the rod on which meat is roasted.) Our Greek fries have made a whole lot of “best fry” lists, and don’t miss out on our frozen Greek yogurt served in our version of the classic “NY Cup.” The first Souvla opened its doors in April, 2014 in Hayes Valley, and in the four years since, have opened locations in San Francisco's NoPa, Mission and Marina neighborhoods.

This is exactly what this page sends to Google, Bing, ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini.

Our Greek fries have made a whole lot of “best fry” lists, and don’t miss out on our frozen Greek yogurt served in our version of the classic “NY Cup.” The first Souvla opened its doors in April, 2014 in Hayes Valley, and in the four years since, have opened locations in San Francisco's NoPa, Mission and Marina neighborhoods. | Confirmed | Google Business Profile | | Location info | Hours | Mon to Sun 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM | Confirmed | Google Business Profile | | Location info | Name | Souvla | Confirmed | Google Business Profile | | Location info | Phone | (415) 680-9400 | Confirmed | Google Business Profile | | Hours | Monday | 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM | Confirmed | Google Business Profile | | Hours | Tuesday | 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM | Confirmed | Google Business Profile | | Hours | Wednesday | 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM | Confirmed | Google Business Profile | | Hours | Thursday | 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM | Confirmed | Google Business Profile | | Hours | Friday | 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM | Confirmed | Google Business Profile | | Hours | Saturday | 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM | Confirmed | Google Business Profile | | Hours | Sunday | 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM | Confirmed | Google Business Profile | | Services | Service | Catering | From their website | Business website | | Services | Service | Email | From their website | Business website | | Services | Service | Frozen greek yogurt | AI guess | | | Services | Service | Greek cuisine | AI guess | | | Services | Service | Greek fries | AI guess | | | Services | Service | Greek yogurt sauces | AI guess | | | Services | Service | Marin county mart | From their website | Business website | | Services | Service | Menus | From their website | Business website | | Services | Service | Nopa | From their website | Business website | | Services | Service | Pita wraps | AI guess | | | Services | Service | Rotisserie roasted meats | AI guess | | | Services | Service | Seasonal salads | AI guess | | | Services | Service | View all | From their website | Business website | | Links | Facebook | https://facebook.com/souvla | AI guess | Our record | | Links | Instagram | https://instagram.com/souvla | AI guess | Our record | | Links | TikTok | https://tiktok.com/@thisissouvla | AI guess | Our record | | Links | Website | http://www.souvla.com/ | Confirmed | Google Business Profile | ## Services and prices These are the 6 services Souvla offers, with the price where we have one and where it came from. | Service | Price | Price mark | Price evidence | Service mark | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Catering | | | | From their website | | View all | | | | From their website | | Menus | | | | From their website | | Nopa | | | | From their website | | Email | | | | From their website | | Marin county mart | | | | From their website | ### Known for Share your review link so AI can say what you're known for ## The team Add your team so AI can name who works here ## Visiting Souvla Address: 2272 Chestnut St, San Francisco, CA 94123, USA.

<tr><td>Location info</td><td>Description</td><td>Souvla is a fast-fine group of modern Greek restaurants with locations throughout San Francisco. Inspired by casual souvlaki joints found throughout Greece. We rotisserie roast naturally-raised meats and wrap them in our warm, fluffy pita bread with seasonal salads and Greek yogurt sauces. (The word “souvla” means “spit” or “skewer” in Greek to the rod on which meat is roasted.) Our Greek fries have made a whole lot of “best fry” lists, and don’t miss out on our frozen Greek yogurt served in our version of the classic “NY Cup.” The first Souvla opened its doors in April, 2014 in Hayes Valley, and in the four years since, have opened locations in San Francisco's NoPa, Mission and Marina neighborhoods.</td><td>Confirmed</td><td>Google Business Profile</td></tr>
