There is a fairly new restaurant chain in SF that is definitely worth going to. It hasn't been open that long and already has two more locations to handle all the business. It's called Souvla and as you can tell from the name it is Greek food. A simple concept with a limited menu of gyros and salads and frozen yogurt the impeccable quality of the food and the care in the production makes it a go to place. My husband and I have even joked about opening up a franchise in Utah which is of course beyond silly. They have chicken, pork, and lamb as well as vegetarian gyros. Everything is super fresh. You can watch the chickens turning on the spit and the lamb is real lamb not the chopped and formed norm of most Greek diners. Although it wouldn't work in a Utah joint, the SF sites serve alcohol including retsina. Very casual and informal but worth standing in line for.
One of the standouts for us is their Greek yogurt served with your choice of topping from honey and lavender to sour cherry syrup. We liked the sour cherry syrup so much that I ordered some online. The brand I got is called Esalat and has a simple ingredient list of sour cherries, sugar, water, and ascorbic acid unlike the other one available that had the unpronounceable ingredient list that makes you wonder if you are getting a food product or a beauty aid. Anyway, our syrup came yesterday and we had some with vanilla ice cream. Delicious.
