Cute little food truck in a very busy area, and with so many options around I’m glad I chose to stop here. There’s no seating (as expected with a truck), but the food makes up for it. The ladies running it are super nice, and even though there’s usually a small line, it moves quickly. They’re clearly popular — while I was waiting, I noticed a lot of Greek people coming by, which is always a great sign of authenticity. Definitely worth a stop if you’re craving some fresh and tasty Greek street food! Definitely try their gyro!

When it comes to the top 3 food carts for souvlaki in Astoria, I always put Souvlaki Lady in the conversation. I’ve been going there for years, and it never disappoints. The chicken thigh souvlaki is juicy, tender, and perfectly charred, and the pork skewers have that classic smoky flavor I grew up loving. Wrapped in warm pita with tzatziki and a squeeze of lemon, it’s simple, authentic Greek street food done right. For me, it’s one of those old-school Astoria staples that delivers every single time.

If you haven’t tried the Souvlaki Lady yet, you’re missing out on one of the best food experiences around. Her food is always fresh, perfectly seasoned, and packed with authentic Greek flavor. The souvlaki is tender, juicy, and cooked to absolute perfection every single time.
But what makes her stand out even more is her personality—she’s genuinely kind, welcoming, and treats every customer like family. She remembers faces, cares about the community, and puts so much love into every plate she serves. You can taste it.
Whether you’re grabbing a quick lunch or treating yourself to something delicious, the Souvlaki Lady never disappoints. Great food, great service, great vibes. Absolutely worth every visit!

There’s really not much I can say that hasn’t been said already about this famous lady and as an Astoria staple for so many years. She is super warm and friendly; did I mention everything she serves is of the utmost quality.
There is a reason why so many people travel far and wide just to meet this lady to sample all her creations.

decent fresh food. definitely ask what is included in the order tho. i got the souvlaki lady for $9 and thought there would be fries included as it said fries in the description, but i just got a medium sized sandwich.
still good, but i don’t know if i would’ve driven all the way out here for it. maybe for the lady. she was nice
* EDIT: i approached the cart a few min later to add some sauce to my sandwich, and she piled on a few fries. +1 star for Souvlaki Lady!

This place is a landmark institution in Astoria and it doesn’t disappoint. It is cheap and affordable with a high quality. People still line up to get food from here. I will have to return to try some other items than the chicken. But they were worth the trip.

I used to live in the area for years, so this spot always had that nostalgic pull for me.
We stopped in after work last night for a quick bite before a big dinner in Astoria, but the whole experience left such a bad taste in my mouth.
I ordered a Burger Deluxe and didn’t care about the 15-minute wait. The problem was when I asked if they could cut it in half so we could share it. Instead of a normal response, we got attitude and refusal to honor our request: “It’s only $8, and it’s small.”
The tone was unnecessary and honestly pretty condescending. We just wanted a quick taste of the old days – apparently that was too much to ask.
The owner was right there, and when we explained what happened, there was still no apology, no acknowledgment. Just – “Do you want it or not?”
So we walked away. Lefkos took great care of us for a quick snack, and then we went on to dinner at Stamatis, where the service is always warm and we happily spent a couple hundreds.

I wanted to see what the fuzz was about and got the special sauce with chicken. The lady is very nice but I’m sorry but the the food was nothing special. The chicken was tender but I’m the flavor was bland and the special sauce tasted like mayo and ketchup. Not worth the trip
