Souvlaki Lady,

Ditmars Boulevard, Queens, NY 11105

"While researching places to visit, I noted a neighborly quality about the @souvlakilady in her interviews online. This observation proved to be more true than I anticipated. As I caught a glimpse of her cart parked alongside the road, my mouth began to water at the prospect of my first taste of streetside souvlaki. Unfortunately, my excitement quickly dwindled when I realized she only accepted cash as payment. While standing in utter defeat, I was sincerely touched when she decided to disregard my lack of cash and provide me a skewer at no cost. Let me tell you...it was sublime! Prior to that moment, I couldn't imagine a simple stick of pork could improve much beyond what I make at home, but I was wrong. So grateful for my first experience with Greek generosity and hospitality - ευχαριστώ, @souvlakilady!"

"Really good and affordable food. With the pita, we can choose either pork or chicken for the protein. We go with pork, and the meat is well-seasoned and is not dry. The souvlaki sauce is very tasty. The structure makes it a little hard to eat. Definitely will come back to try other stuff on the menu whenever I'm in the area (probably won't happen any time soon lol)."

"I have been meaning to stop by to grab a gyro or platter for some time, as I love Mediterranean food. So much traffic in Astoria so I went today since it was raining and figured there would be less people and cars. So glad I did. I ordered a chicken gyro with double meat and fries, souvlaki lady sauce and chipotle mayo sauce on the side. I had mine to go. This is by far the best tasting chicken gyro I’ve ever had. The chicken had a char-grilled flavor I loved. The sauces were so good. I can’t wait to stop by again."

"Simply delicious, and affordable! When walking by the very small and unassuming truck, it doesn’t quite give off the idea that this food would be amazing, but it is! The lady here has been making Souvlaki for 30 years, is very kind, and happy to modify your order to your preference. I recommend the Souvlaki Lady sauce on top of any platter."

"This lady is amazing. Her souvlaki is traditional and tastes authentic. Also she was a wonderful person. It was a pleasure meeting her and I will definitely be back soon."
