Sorry for the competitiveness but I don't have any souvlaki i like as much as Marathon, until I ate here. WOW it's good, the quantity of chicken is insane, & the flavour of the fries is really great. I don't really know what it is that most souvlaki places have horrible fries for some reason but this one has actually good fries, & well seasoned too. I wish there was a bit more tzatziki on my pita but nothing asking can't fix.
I do wish however that they had maybe a table or two more in the shop, it's quite small & for that i'd recommend doing take out.
Overall really really good. They were sold out of the pork when we went so all this is for the chicken, need to go back asap to try pork.
Incredible: the food, the service, everything was top. I unfortunately didn't get to take a picture because we were starving, but the portions are generous (so is the owner! He gave us extra fries to share). The food is fresh, it's rare to find a gyro pita that is so well balanced. Will definitely be my go to spot for Greek food. The service was impeccable, everyone had a smile on their face, was kind. The owner clearly has a passion for his food & it shows. 10/10
Hands down the best souvlaki in town! Aris & his son make you feel like family the second you walk in. Every visit comes with a side of history, jokes, & good vibes!
The pork gyro pita? Perfection. Juicy, flavourful, wrapped tight with thick, homemade tzatziki that's absolutely overflowing. The fries are golden, crispy, & served in massive portions-just how I like it.
Don't skip the chicken gyro or the souvlaki either; they're just as addictive. I've literally had to put a cap on how many I let myself buy each week or I'd never eat anything else.
A local gem that deserves all the praise.

The owner ( Aris) & his staff are very friendly & great service. I ordered 20 chicken gyros pitas, 3 family fries, plate of pork gyros & a pork stick for my dad's 70th birthday. Food was delicious & service was fast. You must try!
I have to say , its a small place but the food is amazing, I had a pita plate , the taste is very good, came in really hot & fresh. The potatoes were out of this world, nicely seasoned & had a crispy outside & soft inside. 2nd thing is I think it was the owner, superb
attitude & very friendly. Would come again & will be 🤝
I had an issue with tomatoes not being exactly'ready'. Maybe an issue with the supplier or having too many orders & having to go through stock quicker than expected? I wouldn't complain if it was just the tomatoes in the pitas but having the greek salad full of unripe tomatoes made it more obvious.
To remain on the greek salad subject, I know everything's is expensive nowadays but putting only one kalamata olive is just..a tease. There should be laws against that. Lol
Also, the menu on the website is quite a bit misguiding in terms of prices & I have to admit that was not an appreciated surprise. For two meals it came to 7-8 bucks more than what is advertised. Although this is not a huge amount, it was a bit annoying.
In terms of meat no complaints, I wouldn't exactly say that it totally beats places like Vieux Grec, Village grec, Marathon or other good greek food places but hey it's definitely good enough for me to not want to drive the extra minutes to get to other places out of sainte-dorothee.
The tzatziki is very good & I wish there was a bit more in the pitas.
The fries are suprisingly crispy & I'd say pretty much the best potatoes/fries I have had in a long time.
