Souvlaki GR has a legal issue … down under.

Melbournites love Souvlaki GR so much, they opened a location all their own. Don’t be fooled, though. Unlike the five-month-old midtown expansion, this particular outpost is an impostor. Everything down to the logo and fonts.

Last week, food listings began to surface for Souvlaki GR at 665 High Street in Thornbury, Melbourne. But it has no affiliation with the OG. That was confirmed via social media. And that would probably explain why they have no web presence.

We reached out to Souvlaki GR for comment, but haven’t heard back yet. Uh oh.
