Sorry, not for us. Perhaps I've been spoiled. I was fortunate enough to go to Greece, plus live in a community state side that had numerous Greece restaurants ran by Greeks. This isn't what Souvlaki tastes like.

This was delicious! The pork tasted great. I didn't have enough time to marinate the meat as long as I wanted to but even so the flavor was amazing. BF wasn't too sure about Greek night but he ended up asking for more!! I will be making this again.

I took a pork roast and cut it into strips then marinated as per the recipe. (only had about two hours to marinate) I did not skewer but rather laid the strips on the barbeque and flipped them after a couple of minutes. There was my husband and I for supper as well as our son-in-law and 2 granddaughter, 10 months and 2 1/2. The youngest eats anything and this was not an exception however the two year old did not want to eat it. We told her she had to eat two of the pieces that were cut up on her plate - not only did she eat these but finished up the rest! My husband and son-in-law also enjoyed it. The pork was very tender and oh so flavorful. A real keeper. Thanks for a great, easy meal. Served with Oven Roasted Greek Potatoes - recipe from this site. Great combo that use many of the same ingredients

The recipe is straight out FABULOUS!! I never even thought about trying to cook Greek food but I followed the recipe exactly and it came out perfect! My mom even mentioned that it tasted like it came from a Greek restaurant! The only difference was I didn't have any skewers so I just grilled the chicken in pieces on the grill. Superb recipe! Definately recommended!

I left out the soy sauce as someone else mentioned. This is very good.

There is a very important point left out in this recipe. If you are using wooden skewers, soak them for 1 hour in water, this prevents the wood from burning on the grill

Made this tonight for my 5 year old and my Fiance who is from Greece. I'm just beginning to like greek food and felt this was the safest one to try to make myself. Despite the remark from the previous poster the soy sauce added enough of a flaver to keep it from being too dry like i've had Souvlaki in the past. My Fiance really liked it and was very impressed even my 5 year old who hardly eats a thing cleared his plate so thanks for the great recipe!

Although there are 500+ ratings of this insane recipe already, I'm adding my rave review because I think this is my favorite dish of the whole summer!! I thought the pork would be dry and tough (like it always seems to turn out for me) but it was beautifully tender from the grill! I followed our Greek reviewer on here and opted out of using the soy sauce. I splashed a little red wine vinegar in instead. MY FAVORITE!!!! Thank you Abby!

Very Good! My boyfriend LOVES Greek Food and requested that I make this once a week :) I served it with grilled pita, tzatziki and a big Greek salad. I crave this meal now.

Excellent!!! I've made this recipe several times now and it always comes out great. I throw everything into marinate that morning and then it's a quick easy fix that night. We love ours with the Tzatziki Sauce II and grilled pita bread. Just brush your pita with a little olive oil and toss it on the grill until nice and warm. Add a salad and you have a wonderful, healthy meal!!

This was a hit in my house! I made double the recipe so I could freeze it for quick meals during the school year, not knowing if we would even like it or not. My daughter, who is a very fussy eater gobbled it up. I left mine in the fridge overnight marinating and it was extremely tender. Served it with grilled pita bread, tzatiki and salad. Definitely a keeper!

Tastes like the stuff you get in Greece- even with the soy sauce! I used a lot more lemon garlic and oregano though. I also used pork shoulder instead of tenderloin- not as dry and has more flavor. Best when served with white rice and cucumber sauce.

I first tried this recipe when I was looking for something to do with a pork loin - i grew up jewish and we never cooked pork! I tried this for something different and my husband devoured it like i'd never seen . . . he finally stopped eating long enough to tell me that he used to go to a little hole-in-the-wall place in canada, almost weekly, just to order their souvlaki, and this tasted EXACTLY like it! For a long time, my youngest got excited whenever he saw the 'meat on a stick', and actually called it 'yummy meat'. Due to allergies, I have reworked this to use chicken and leave out the garlic, and we still love it - thanks! (but we do sub half the soy w more lemon, to reduce the salt)

Amazing taste...I did all the prep the night before including marinating the meat. I just skewered and threw on the bbq. I prepared Tzatziki sauce to go with it....delicious!

I couldn't give a rat's whether these are authentic or not. All I know is that they tasted GREAT. I added a teaspoon of white sugar to the marinade and I used both chicken and pork - it was very good with a couscous salad (couscous, chopped feta, chopped tomato, chopped cucumber, olive oil and maggi). Thanks for an easy recipe, I'm going to use it often!

I'm not even going to comment on the soy sauce in this recipe, the fact of the matter is this marinade is delicious. I used pork tenderloin, but chicken would work just as well for a change of pace. My only change after tasting the sauce was to add a couple of teaspoons of white sugar. Thanks for the great recipe!
