George’s Souvlaki of Astoria
7006 Fort Hamilton Pkwy,
Brooklyn, NY 11228
Oh where do I start with George’s Souvlaki of Astoria other than saying this place is so legitimate I can’t even begin to explain how yummy the food is. The owners use real meat and the traditional way of making good Greek cuisine. They don’t cut corners on anything and that’s the reason why the food always tastes the way you expect and it’s hearty. The food at George’s tastes authentic to the bone and my family and I all agree its the best we’ve had in Brooklyn.
I always come here with family and we eat everything family style because the portions are very generous and its a good way to try everything. Our go to salad is the mixed green salad topped with an abundant amount of feta cheese. It’s a really refreshing dish that opens the palette.

For entrees sometimes we go with various meat kebabs and sometimes we go for the gyro platters. Both are equally filling and full of flavor. The gyro meat isn’t the typical meat one would get if they ordered from a halal cart. This meat is quality meat.

If you’re looking for a quick option to grab and go, my go to is the Chicken Gyro Pita served with Lettuce, Tomatoes, Onions and Tzatziki Sauce.

Here’s a look at what our usual spread looks like if we’re not ordering the gyro platters.
Now I know this post has a lot of food coming at you all at once but these pictures were from 2-3 different visits. There’s so many things we like to try here and obviously we can’t try all at once so I suggest you take your time and order slowly, start with a meat kebab with some pita and hummus and then start your way from there. After you eat the kebab I guarantee you’re going to be wanting more cause the flavors are just that good.
