Char-grilled Greek souvlaki and lamb chops in Midtown West
Grilled skewers, blue café chairs and string lights, minutes from the Midtown rush but keeping its own late hours.
🍢 Skewers that keep late hours
Tucked on West 56th between the concert-hall crowds and the office towers, Souvlaki GR keeps a whitewashed room running long after the matinee lets out. Blue café chairs sit under strings of bulbs, and a marble bar lines one wall. The kitchen turns out char-grilled pork and chicken skewers, lamb chops crusted in oregano, and warm pita for scooping tzatziki, hummus, and taramosalata. The souvlaki lands fast enough to catch before a downtown train, a rhythm regulars have learned to trust. A Greek salad piled with feta and a square of honey-soaked baklava round out the table. Weeknights run to 11 PM, and on Friday and Saturday the grill stays lit until midnight. Window seats hand you the sidewalk view while the room fills with the smell of grilled meat and lemon.
