Souvlaki GR

Our Inspiration

Welcome to our "little taste of Mykonos in the heart of NYC." From the moment you step through our blue doors, we want you to feel as though you've been transported to the captivating island of Mykonos. The air is infused with the sounds of traditional Greek music, and the ambiance evokes the spirit of an outdoor island taverna. Mykonos, a jewel in the Cycladic archipelago of the Aegean Sea, is renowned for its allure. It draws a diverse crowd, captivating all with its stunning beaches, vibrant nightlife, and unique charm. We believe the tempo and essence of Greece possess a magical quality, and that's precisely why we strive to transport you there.

Our Family

Souvlaki GR is a first-generation Greek, family-owned restaurant that takes immense pride in providing an exceptional dining experience complemented by our fresh and authentic cuisine. Each summer, our family embarks on a journey back to Greece, a pilgrimage to reconnect with our heritage and immerse ourselves in the island's way of life. This tradition is woven into the fabric of our restaurant, as we are raising our children in the same manner, instilling in them a deep sense of pride in their cultural roots.

Our story began with a humble food truck that blossomed into a beloved establishment with three full-service restaurants now serving the city. We've expanded to two food trucks, sharing our passion for Greek flavors on the go. When you dine with us, we want you to feel like you're part of our extended family. Many of the dishes on our menu are cherished family recipes passed down through generations, each bite a testament to our culinary heritage. Join us for a relaxed and heartwarming dining experience that celebrates the vibrant flavors of Greece.
