When I lived in Cyprus, I would eat lots of their souvlaki. Since I have been in Boston, I have tried many dishes that were called souvlaki, but none of them tasted anything like the kind I had in Cyprus. So, does anyone know where I could find some?

In my homeland of Southern California, it was my frequent habit to stop at Top's for their transcendent chili-doused boxes of french fries with lots of yellow and white cheese on top.
Alas! Stranded in Boston, my cholesterol level is slowly decreasing to normal levels... does anyone know where I could get some chili cheese fries?
You could try the Andy's Chili truck which has been parking on Ames Street at lunchtime lately. If they haven't heard of this thing, they'll probably make it for you. Any victualler selling Frito Pies must surely consider Chili Cheese Fries an exalted culinary achievement. Maybe you could license the formula to them.
Or perhaps, like Spaghetti Pie, this is one of those purely regional delights only available in the Northeast at the board of the homesick outlander. Shaddup and eat ya' boiled dinnah.

There used to be a place in Watertown (near the center) that served Greek food, including a pretty good Souvlaki. I used to go there with a Cypriot friend, but that was years ago, and I have no idea if it is still there. Sorry I can't be more specific.
The thing that surprised me about souvlaki in Cyprus was that it was almost always pork (generously rubbed with rigani - greek oregano), and not lamb.

There's a nice little greek restaurant in N Cambridge called I believe "Friendly Corner." It's on Mass Ave near the Arlington line. Can't say whether the food resembles Cypriot food but its good-- and cheap! -- Betsy Schwartz Internet: bet...@cs.umb.edu System Administrator BITNET:ESCHWARTZ%UMBSKY.D...@NS.UMB.EDU U-Mass Boston Computer Science Dept.
