Tziki Authentic souvlaki
📍CHELSEA, NEW YORK We specialize in freshly prepared, made-to-order souvlaki and gyro, bringing a true taste of Athens to New York City.

Tziki was born out of a craving for authentic Greek souvlaki, a craving shared by four friends with roots in Athens, Chios, Kefalonia, and Cyprus. At Tziki, we're passionate about crafting traditional Greek souvlaki with authenticity. We use only high-quality, fresh ingredients, and prepare everything in-house daily with refined culinary techniques. Our dedication to time-honored recipes and premium ingredients offers a genuine taste of the Mediterranean and a culinary journey to the streets of Athens. Inspired by the first modern souvlaki shop, opened in Athens in 1924, Tziki continues that legacy in New York City a century later. Chelsea, a neighborhood close to our hearts, was once a vibrant hub for Greek immigrants. With Tziki, we hope to rekindle that culinary heritage in a place where it once thrived. The experience at Tziki extends beyond just the food. The ambiance is carefully curated to evoke the lively and artistic energy of Athens. Tziki’s vibrant character is brought to life through the collaboration with Alexandra Manousakis, a Cretan artist who has infused the space with her unique blend of contemporary Greek aesthetics and urban energy. Join us at 209 7th Avenue, on the corner of 22nd Street, to experience a genuine expression of Greek hospitality in the heart of Chelsea.

You can push us into Tziki any day…

However if you find your way here, be sure to try our pork gyro, and maybe some Greek feta fries while you are at it.

See you soon!

Most people — Greeks included — don’t know this: fries in the pita is NOT the original Greek way.

Purists like Kostas near Syntagma in Athens refuse to add fries in the pita. Respect. But some days call for a fat souvlaki loaded with fries.

Come by and add fries in your pita anytime you want.

Why is BEEF-LAMB not on this chart?? BECAUSE IT’S NOT GREEK!

The gyro you get at any respectable souvlatzidiko in Athens — and the only one we serve at Tziki — is pork, sliced thin, stacked by hand on a vertical spit, carved to order, straight into a pita.

Then, early ‘70s, Chicago. A few guys figured out you could grind cheap cuts of beef and lamb, add a whole bunch of filler and flavor enhancers, press it into a cone, freeze it, and ship it to every diner and cart in America. Warm it up, shave it off, call it a gyro. It’s basically a gyro-shaped hot dog.

Fifty years later, that cone is what most of America thinks a gyro is. Same gray meatloaf on the same spit, tasting exactly like the one three blocks away.

So next time a “Greek” place has beef-lamb on the menu — BUYER BEWARE.

Eat the real thing at Tziki or try something from our “experimental” side of the menu :)
