Souvla — Restaurant in Larkspur

This is my new favorite restaurant! Food is yummy and service excellent!

I have a few suggestions for improving the experience. Our party had most of the dishes and thoroughly enjoyed the meal, except the two desserts we tried - frozen yogurt with salt and olive oil and frozen yogurt with baklava. The salted was inedible … too much salt! The flavors did not blend well. The baklava version was mushy and did not taste like the yummy mediterranean dessert. It needed more texture such as added pistachios or or or. The yogurt was fantastic so we avoided the additions. I suggest working on the recipes and adding baklava, by itself, to the menu.

As far as the atmosphere, the music was meh. I suggest trying more jazzy numbers - easier to eat by music. I was eager to get away from the hard edges of the punky music though I loved the food. Maybe that was on purpose. I dislike your choice of chairs and tables. The cold, hard edged, heavy, difficult to move furniture is sure to cause many bruises. Outside, they are tightly backed obstacles on uneven rough pavers yuk. I prefer to eat at the larger scale wooden tables outside the restaurant. I have been there every day since their opening three days ago!

Thank you for...

We went out of our way to dine at Souvla. And I would now say it wasn’t out of our way but the only way to go! It was phenomenal!

The menu is basic with either a wrap or salad with choice of meat. We had one lamb salad and one pork wrap. Usually Greek salads are a let down but no. This was full, satisfying, and fresh. It was loaded with meat (which can I just praise because just because people order a salad doesn’t mean they don’t want meat- so thank you!!). It came pre-dressed but I actually didn’t mind it because it was the perfect amount. The radishes and cucumbers gave it a great crunch. The wrap was good too- the pork was cooked perfectly. But I would say the salad is the better choice- more bang for your buck!

To wrap up our meal we had to try this Greek frozen yogurt! We got the baklava one (and they even added the cherry on top so we could try it.) It was a unique dessert experience. Not too rich or heavy. Simple enough to get that sweet satisfaction but not feel over the top. I enjoyed it but could do without or next time I would try the olive oil one.

This is a great spot. We were there for an early lunch and by the time we were wrapping up it was packed. Worth the side...

my friend took me here excited for me to try the food and frozen yogurt. we had the lamb wrap which we both found mediocre this time. It was filling but terribly flavourless and dry. There was likely less than a spoon of the yogurt harissa in the whole wrap. We asked for more sauce and paid extra for it. It helped with the dryness but still didn't taste good. The wildflower honey frozen yogurt had a drizzle of honey on top that you finish in the first couple of spoons because it freezes and cant be mixed (makes sense), alas, you'll be eating 98% plain yogurt if you're into that.

one of the servers was exceptionally cold and rude. The bigger guy with slicked back hair.

Unfortunately we both will...
