Start your meal with their Special Greek Salad, a vibrant mix of fresh lettuce, ripe tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, bold feta cheese, and the option to add anchovies, all brought together with house-baked bread and butter. The signature Dolmades — tender grape leaves stuffed with savory ground beef and rice, elegantly complemented by a tangy egg and lemon sauce — exemplify the balance of earthy and zesty flavors you’ll find throughout the menu.

Seafood lovers will relish dishes like the grilled octopus, praised for its exceptional tenderness, and the steamed shrimp served with Mr. Souvlaki’s secret blend of herbs and spices.

More adventurous diners consistently rave about the unique Greek chow mein selections — including pork, chicken, and gyro options — which skillfully merge Mediterranean flavors with an unexpected twist. The Saganaki, or flaming cheese, provides a dramatic and delicious finale, with its rich, melted cheese set ablaze tableside, creating an interactive dining experience.

    We have been to Mr. Souvlaki before and thought the food might have been better. The food is still good though. That said the chow mein was a little dry and the chicken was over seasoned, too salty. So, good location, good price point, good service, and pretty good food. Beware if you are looking for a sign off the road, the last hurricane must have blown it out. This should be prioritized as the restaurant is off a busy street, and we and our guests both drove by the restaurant as we were looking for the sign. I love the large windows and how bright the restaurant room is. Our waitress was a real sweetheart. The iced tea was fresh brewed and excellent, and the refills kept coming. So still a good spot to frequent.

    Super yummy Greek food at very reasonable prices. Great portions. Sorry I was super hungry so no photos just trust me on this! Plenty of parking, too, so a great alternative to more expensive sponge docks locations. Obviously you're not overlooking the water but it's still a nice enough vibe. Clean place, lots of seating and great staff. We will be back 110%.

    We had an incredible experience at Mr. Souvlaki restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious, every dish was bursting with flavor and made with the freshest ingredients. You can truly taste the love and heart they put into each meal. We tried the Greek chow mein, Greek salad, octopus, shrimp, calamari, and saganaki - and every single dish was outstanding. The quality, freshness, and seasoning were spot on! The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and perfect for families. It felt like we were dining in someone’s home- relaxed, friendly, and full of heart. What really stood out (besides the phenomenal food) was how clean the place was. Honestly, it was spotless- you could eat off the floor! It’s clear they take great pride not only in their food, but in every detail of the space. Service was equally impressive: fast, friendly, and genuinely caring. The staff made us feel like valued guests from start to finish. Highly recommend this place- a true gem for authentic Greek cuisine, made and served with heart. We’ll definitely be back!

    We wanted to try a different Greek restaurant from the ones we have already tried in Tarpon Springs. We read the reviews on Mr. Souvlaki and after trying it for ourselves, we agree with the many positive reviews. The staff are very attentive, greeting us from the moment we walked through the door and checking on us throughout our meal. The restaurant is very clean and the decor is very nice, including the restrooms. I ordered the gyro sandwich, which I think might be the best one I've ever had, with a side of fries which were cooked to perfection. My husband had the combo plate and loved it. We were given rice pudding for dessert on the house. As a child I would never eat this, but I loved it!! This is our new favorite Greek restaurant!!

    My family has been here before and this was my first time. We had a party of 10 and were seated immediately upon arrival. Our waitress, Vicki, was absolutely amazing! She was friendly, funny, and blended right in with the shenanigans that my family was dishing out. My wife and I shared the full-sized Chicken Chow Mein, which was recommended by another friend who was also at the restaurant with his family when we arrived. That dish was so good! It was a big portion as well because both of us ate til we were full, and we still had leftovers to take home with us. We also ran into another friend from my wife's teenaged days back in NYC that apparently comes to this restaurant every Sunday. So, when he walked in, we were so happy to see him again! It's a very clean and beautiful restaurant. The staff was so friendly as well. They even took the pics of our family and friend. I saved this on my map as a Favorite and will certainly be back again!

    A great experience with 9 of us around a round table. The food was adventurous for some of us and the overall sense was very positive!
