Souvlaki Spot 156-40 Cross Bay Boulevard, Queens, NY 11414

"I have been back a number of times (at least 6+) and my wife absolutely loves the sandwiches. Great change of pace from what was available around here prior. First week service was slow (they actually make the food as opposed to it sitting around) and the fries were not great. They have speeded up the process a bit though (I still recommend you call in the order) and the fries are much better now than prior. Although it’s a bit expensive the food quality and amount you receive is worth the cost of admission!"

"Went in to order take out. The process is very… odd. After you order, they print out a receipt to tell you the cash price and the credit card price which is very rare to see. Then you have to tell them verbally if you want to leave a tip cause they have to manually enter it. Then they print out a credit card receipt that you have to sign and there is a line for TIP! So why can’t they use that instead of asking. At least the food came out in less than 5 minutes. The place feels like it’s supposed to be a sit down place but the lit up menu board in the back makes it feel like a take out place. A very confusing layout of the place. Food wise, I give it a 3/5. The pita was dry but the portions are fair so you will get full eating just one."

"Been here 3 times since they opened (dined in once and take out twice). Each experience was better than the next. The food is on point. Friendly and attentive staff. Had chicken souvlaki sticks and a horiatiki salad w/bifteki tonight. Super solid. So happy to have Greek food close to home again."

"As someone who grew up with Greeks in the same house, I lived on homemade food made by Thia's hands. This previously used to be Greek Grill (if anyone in the neighborhood remembers) and it had been closed for a long time. Now Souvlaki Spot opened and it's a win as Greek restaurants are far and few in the surrounding area. They opened up the space and gave it a makeover that's now bright and vibrant. We dined on their 3rd day of opening. We were greeted by the friendly servers and our order was taken. Unfortunately by 3pm the lamb chops were already sold out. I'm assuming they didn't account for how much business they'd be getting. We waited about 20mins and got our food. As other reviews have mentioned, we consider ourselves lucky because other tables were waiting close to 40mins. Take out line was getting frustrated. 1 table got up and left. I feel the kitchen forgot their order. At the end of our meal, the register didn't have enough bills for change so we were given tons of coins. Speed from the kitchen is definitely lacking, and everyone should know how to operate the registers. I wanted to give them benefit of doubt as they just opened. What we did try though was exceptional. We got lamb gyro, pork gyro, & pork souvlaki. The tzatziki was thick, rich and delicious and reminded me of home cooking. A lot of Greek restaurants serve a watery tzatziki so I appreciated that theirs was better. I would like to see tyropita & calamari on the menu. Overall I will try them again when they get themselves a little more organized."

"Went in for the first time with family and the food was AMAZING! Service was fast and friendly. We will be coming back again. To all the comments saying they are slow and service is bad, they just didn’t give them grace in their first few days open. Give them a try and I promise you won’t regret it."
