Souvla is a Greek sandwich shop located in the heart of San Francisco’s Hayes Valley, inspired by the casual neighborhood souvlaki joints found throughout Greece. (The word “souvla” means “spit” or “skewer” in Greek -- the rod on which meat is roasted.)
We think of Souvla as Greek with a California twist: spit-roasted all-natural meats on warm pita bread with spiced yogurt sauces and fresh herb salads.
Souvla will proudly serve Greek wine by the quarter- or half-liter in metal carafes, as is traditional throughout Greece. At Souvla, you’ll come to know varietals like moschofilero, agiorgitiko and assyrtiko.
For dessert, Souvla will serve frozen Greek yogurt with a variety of our favorite toppings: sour cherry preserves, Baklava crumble with walnuts and honey, or olive oil and sea salt.
Souvla’s offerings will be available to eat in or to go to enjoy in Hayes Valley’s neighboring Patricia’s Green.
