Nothing about “vegetarian souvlaki” sounds appealing—unless you’ve tried the sandwich at Snack, Soho’s microscopic Greek restaurant and takeout joint. Big fat Greek butter-beans are wrapped up with feta, tomato, red onion, and luscious cucumber-yogurt tzatziki in thick, warm gyro bread. (Only quibble: They go a little too heavy on the tomatoes when they’re not in season.) Snack’s other butter-bean creation, the lemony, arugula-packed “gigantes” salad, also rocks. Want something meatier, or smaller, or heftier? Snack has an impressively substantial Greek menu, given how tiny the space is (just four two-top tables). Winners: the savory pies stuffed with herb-spiked chicken, olives, or spinach and served with Greek salad; the pastitsio, a sort of Greek lasagna layered with bechamel, ground beef, and macaroni; and the daily specials, which might include golden, garlicky, perfectly roasted chicken.
