Reviews

The best souvlaki in Athens. Hands down the best. From the friendly staff to the juicy meat, fresh tomatoes and onions. There’s nothing that beats this. This place is always crowded but you can understand why with quality this good. Grab a stand outside and devour the souvlaki whilst it’s hot. So much history here -…
