2 greek places in San Francisco we have eaten in, sorted by editor score. All cuisines in San Francisco | Greek across every city.

Greek cooking in San Francisco is best known in its fast-casual, spit-roasted form rather than a traditional taverna. Souvla in Hayes Valley, on Hayes Street, is the city's defining example, built around Greek-style rotisserie meats and pita. It set the template that much of the city associates with Greek food today.
