The Best Souvlaki shops in Glyfada

Souvlaki is the Greeks’ favorite fast food. It comprises the simplest ingredients: chunks of meat, pork, or chicken, fresh-cut fries, tomatoes, onions, lettuce, and tzatziki sauce wrapped in a Greek pita. It is fairly cheap, filling, delicious, and easy to find. Glyfada offers an endless choice of places serving Greek souvlaki. Below, you will find a list of some of our favorites. 

The Best Souvlaki shops in Glyfada: According to a Local

KEBAB “THE PRESIDENT” (Ο ΠΡΌΕΔΡΟΣ) 

Savva Lazaridi 3+30 21 0894 6465

This restaurant specializes in Kebabs and Souvlaki, the perfect duo. It also serves delicious side dishes, salads, and cold FIX beer to accompany your souvlaki. Proedros doesn’t have gyros on its menu; the souvlaki wrap is served with a skewer, tomatoes, and onions. They do not add fries to their version. They excel in their kebab portions, and I particularly like their kebab yiaourtlou, served with Greek yogurt and tomato sauce. 

 

TRELOS GAIDAROS 

Artemidos 1+30 21 0898 0084

This “souvlatzidiko” (Greek word for a restaurant specializing in souvlaki) is the locals’ favorite. Trelos Gaidaros serves delicious and big portions of souvlaki and is open until 1:30 a.m., which is amazing for those late-night cravings.

The indoor space is quite cozy and is a great place for a relaxed meal at any time of day. Some tables are surrounded by couches, exuding a feeling of sitting in a living room. 

 

If you like gyros, I recommend tasting their pork gyros, which is excellent.  The meat is super juicy and flavorful. They have recently added meats grilled on a spit to their menu.

We tried the chicken, and it was great. The Mediterranean salad is fantastic, do try it. Overall, everything I’ve tried here over the years, from the grilled meats section, was excellent. 

 

TSI TSI 

Leof. Dimarchou Aggelou Metaxa 50+30 21 0898 5531

Located just at the beginning of Metaxa’s street, which is basically the center of Glyfada, Tsi Tsi is a great option for large groups and families as the venue is large and very welcoming. Tsi Tsi is a classic choice for a relaxing meal or a casual evening out. 

The food here is amazing, and you can’t really go wrong with souvlaki and house wine—a great choice! There is also an extensive selection of salads and grilled meats.

If you are vegetarian, do not worry; many Greek dishes suit vegetarians. Make sure to check out this post to help you with ordering food in Greece – Master Greek Cuisine: The Ultimate Guide to Ordering Food in Greece

LAOS KAI KALAMAKI

Georgiou Kondili 5+30 21 0990 2002

Laos and Kalamaki’s philosophy is that souvlaki is a whole food rather than just a “fast food.” It is ideal for those who want to dine in a pleasant and cozy restaurant serving delicious souvlaki, among other food options. The prices here are very reasonable, and the portions are large.

Try their hand-made chicken patties, served with fries and sauce. I liked their souvlaki gyros, served with fries, onion, tzatziki sauce, and tomato. We found the service attentive and the overall ambiance very welcoming.
