Broiled the meat in the oven for 10 minutes since I don't have a grill, and it came out SO GOOD! The cucumber yogurt sauce tasted very authentic, I love dill! Made some flavored long grain and wild rice as a side dish. Follow the recipe, you'll be happy. I used "beef chunks for kabobs" from the supermarket - and didn't add anything extra. It's a keeper!

Apparently, this recipe was not like the souvlaki my husband had in Melbourne. 4 cups of yogurt makes a TON of sauce - - 1/4 of that would be sufficient. The lamb was very good with the marinade and the yogurt sauce complemented the lamb well. (Our lamb was a bit tough - - no fault of this recipe, of course.) We enjoyed the sandwiches, just not sure if I would make them again.

We had some leftover lamb after Easter, so I made this souvlaki - fabulous! I will use this recipe again the next time we have extra lamb!

I made this recipe for my husband and a friend, and both loved it! (including myself). I made the marinade the night before, but did not use the red wine in it, and used minced garlic that I had in the fridge, instead of fresh clove. I used diced lamb, and did not put on to skewers, instead I fried in a pan on the stove. It was a little oily due to the oil content in marinade, but I drained it during the cooking process, then cooked a little longer and it turned out beautiful! Next time I will use less oil in the marinade, if cooking on the stove. Yoghurt sauce was yummy, I did not use the dill weed in it. The recipe made heaps of sauce, more than required, so next time I will use 1 cup of yoghurt and 1/4 cucumber, to make for 4 people. What a great mid-week meal for those short on time, especially for hot days, as there is minimal time spent cooking. I served it wrapped in pita bread with the salad, tasted better than any you could buy from a souvlaki shop!! Highly recommend.

I made this for my husband on Father's Day, he loved it and so did I. Our 10 month old son went nuts, he thought it was great!

Rating for the sauce 4.5 stars... rating for the meat 3 stars. The wine flavor was dominant and I didn't like it. No raves from the family. We love gyros and this wasn't the flavor we were expecting. I had to use pork tenderloin as lamb was unavailable. I cut the sauce recipe in half and I could have halved it again as it made a lot! Not bad, just not what we were looking for.

Very unique taste. I really enjoyed this. I wasn't able to find lamb at my local grocery store, so I did substitute pork tenderloin for the lamb. The mint helped give the pork a lamb taste (as I usually associate the two.) Thanks. One last note, this makes A LOT of cucumber sauce, next time I will cut the recipe for the sauce in half.

Wonderful! You can easly exchange the red wine for red wine vinegar, it's not as tart as you think.

I used the marinade recipe for lamb leg steaks and then broiled them for 5 minutes on each side. They were delicious.

This was pretty tasty. It was the first time I've used lamb, and it wasn't bad at all. I'm not sure if you can purchase de-boned cuts of lamb but I would suggest it to make it easier to cut into cubes. The yogurt sauce that you make is pretty good but I was hoping for something a little closer to tzatziki. Overall this is a fairly quick and easy meal to prepare - you can do much of the prep way ahead of time if you needed to.

Absolutely wonderful! Used pork instead of lamb and broiled. Added 1/2 cup of lemon juice to marinade and made only 1/2 the recipe for the sauce (bought greek yogurt instead of regular plain not sure if it made a difference or not). It was soooooo delicious.

I haven’t tried the Souvlaki yet but I love the yogurt recipe. I use it on all of the Middle Eastern dishes I make (good with the spices), most recently Eggplant and Lamb Stew. Tasty
