Paneri Taverna

London’s Best Greek or Greek-Cypriot Restaurants for Mezze and Souvlaki | Eater London

"Of all London’s souvlatzidiko, Paneri is the one most resembling the experience in Cyprus — the inviting smell of grilled meat cooking slowly over coal, wafting through the streets; wicker chairs placed haphazardly outside; and chatty regulars surrounding the place. The thing to go for here is the “mix” kebab, which is a giant Cypriot pitta stuffed with salted pork souvlaki, thickly-cut tomatoes and cucumber, and the house specialty, sheftalies — pork and offal sausages wrapped in caul fat. There’s a homely seating area in the back where households can order mezze and other classic Greek dishes, too. Paneri is the go-to for most people seeking out souvlaki in the area." - Chris Cotonou
