The pikilia ($12) includes a choice of four of their five dips (greatly improved odds in my book), along with hand-cut fries and pita bread. The fries are just the right amount of greasy, with nice browned bits here and there. They're also beautifully seasoned with oregano, so you can still feel sophisticated while shoveling them into your mouth by the handful. The pita gets major points for achieving a slightly crisp crust that gives way to a soft, warm, doughy interior. It's the perfect vessel for the gems of the meal: taramasalata, hummus, melitzanosalata, and tzatziki. More

The loukaniko ($10) at Souvlaki GR is worthy champion of the loukaniko tradition. Pick your seasoning—orange or leek (we went with the former)—and get ready for a hulking plate of crisp, sliced sausage and plenty of fries. A side of tzatziki for dipping is a must. Take note that loukaniko is supposed to be a little dry and granular, but that just means it's more meaty than fatty. And a little cured meat funky in the best of ways. More

Now that our office is an easy 15-ish minute walk from Souvlaki GR in the Lower East Side, the souvlaki consumption in my life will increase exponentially, no doubt. But when I stopped in recently, I felt like going the deconstructed souvlaki route with the Horiatiki Salad ($7). It's the familiar Greek salad comprised of chopped tomatoes, cukes, red onions, salty feta, and oil-juicy kalamata olives, served with pillowy, warm pita on the side, the same starchy jacket that rolls up the souvlaki. You can add a souvlaki's worth of their charcoal-grilled meat, chicken or pork, for $2 to sit atop the salad. More

It's only been a few months since Greek food truck Souvlaki GR hit the streets, but it looks like they're already settling down in the city; the Village Voice reports that they're planning to open a restaurant on the Lower East Side. More

[Photos: Erin Zimmer] Why wasn't there more cheap, delicious souvlaki in New York City (well, outside of Astoria) before the Souvlaki GR truck came along again? Thankfully we don't have to dwell on that too much anymore. Abby Sierros,... More
