South Street Souvlaki

South Street Souvlaki is a Greek restaurant at 509 South St in Philadelphia, with a menu built around familiar dishes from across Greek cooking. The selection moves from small plates and soups to salads, vegetarian specialties, pita sandwiches and substantial platters, giving the restaurant a broad, menu-led character.

Classic Greek flavors appear throughout the menu. Souvlaki, gyros, chicken kebabs, falafel and keftedes are served in pita or as larger meals with rice and accompanying vegetables. The menu also includes moussaka, pastitsio, roast chicken and stuffed peppers for diners looking beyond grilled meats. Tzatziki, hummus, baba ghanoush, dolmades, feta, olives and other mezze provide options for sharing or building a lighter meal.

Vegetarian diners have several dedicated choices, including spanakopita, leek and feta pie, baked eggplant, stewed vegetables, stuffed peppers and a vegetable platter. Salads range from a straightforward Greek combination of lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, onion, feta and olives to more substantial versions with grilled chicken or shrimp. Seafood appears in dishes such as fried calamari, mussels, grilled octopus and shrimp salad, adding variety beyond the restaurant’s souvlaki focus.

The setting on South Street suits a casual Greek meal with a choice of formats. A pita sandwich works for a simpler visit, while the combination platters and mezze make room for a more leisurely meal. The menu’s mix of meat, seafood, vegetarian dishes, salads and traditional baked specialties also gives groups with different preferences plenty to consider. Pickup ordering is available through the restaurant’s online ordering service.
