Greek Food and CKD: Grilled Souvlaki, Salad and the Olive Oil End

20 foods rated from this table

What to know about Greek food with CKD

Greek restaurant food has a friendly base — grilled meats, fresh vegetables, olive oil and lemon — with the sodium concentrated in the feta, olives and tzatziki. The friendly order is grilled souvlaki or fish with a Greek salad and pita, not the cheese-laden platter. The ratings below show which Greek staples stay manageable.

How to order at a Greek restaurant

Choose grilled chicken or fish souvlaki, a Greek salad with dressing on the side, and pita bread. Feta in a small portion and olives counted — both are sodium-dense — and tzatziki measured on the side.

Practical tips

• Grilled souvlaki or fish with Greek salad is the friendly Greek order.
• Feta and olives are sodium-dense — small portions, not the platter.
• Dressing and tzatziki on the side — the oil-and-lemon base is the friendly part.
