Near the Elliniko metro station on Iasonidou Avenue, there’s a humble, old-school souvlaki joint where you can indulge in what may be the tastiest wrap in the southern suburbs, possibly in all of Athens. You might have passed by it before without paying much attention—its modest appearance doesn’t immediately catch the eye. However, the tantalizing aroma wafting from its open windows as you walk or drive past is sure to make you crave a souvlaki, even if you weren’t hungry to begin with! It’s a local hidden gem that you might have overlooked simply because of its unassuming look, but it has recently gained viral fame.

Called “Elliniko Souvlaki,” this spot has been serving up its delicious fare since 1990 and has long been a favorite among locals. Its secret to success? Mouthwatering wraps packed with flavor at unbeatable prices—the signature souvlaki wrap costs just €2.80. But what really catapulted it to fame is TikTok. Now, people from all over Athens are flocking to get a taste of what this place has to offer.

Don’t expect to dine here for the ambiance—there are only about 5 or 6 tables, and you might have to wait your turn. The true star is the food: hand-prepared meats, perfectly grilled skewers, and juicy, flavorful gyro all wrapped up with fresh ingredients to create an unbeatable flavor experience. Most patrons grab their souvlaki to go, and while the recent TikTok buzz might mean you’ll encounter a queue, the service is quick, and you’ll be enjoying your souvlaki within minutes.

*Important note: There’s no delivery. So either snag one of the few tables or savor your souvlaki on the go, like most others!
