Charcoal-cooked souvlaki, hand-cut chips, avgolemono soup
"Dionysus’ chips make every other interpretation of ‘hand cut’ look and taste like they’ve been made by a pug using a slotted spoon. These babies, these are angular. Sharp and crispy on the ends, but straight and fluffy down the middle. In a world of glaring tattie imperfections, the freshly made creations from this legendary Greek kebab shop shine bright. A special mention goes to the Southgate spot’s unapologetically tingly aioli as well." - jake missing, sinead cranna
"For those of a certain generation, Dionysus was once a legendary West End takeaway spot in the ‘70s, but now it’s an everyday go-to in Southgate. The Greek kebab shop takes everything it makes very seriously. The pittas are generously filled and the perfectly charcoal-cooked souvlaki is an always-satisfying lunch or dinner. The chips made daily here—hand-cut with more angles than a catwalk at Paris Fashion Week—are quite simply some of the best in London." - jake missing, rianne shlebak
"Dionysus’ chips make every other interpretation of ‘hand cut’ look and taste like they’ve been made by a pug using a slotted spoon. These babies, these are angular. They’re Tron chips. Sharp and crispy on the ends, but straight, fluffy and, remarkably, full of potato-tasting potato down the middle. A special mention goes to their unapologetically tingly aioli as well." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak
"Once upon a time (the ‘70s), Dionysus was a legendary West End post-club kebab spot. Now, it’s an everyday go-to in Southgate for those after wonderfully charcoal-cooked souvlaki and hand-cut chips. The popular Greek spot leans more takeaway than settle-in, but there are a handful of stools, a couple of tables, and plenty of counter space if you’re happy to devour your pitta that way." - jake missing, sinead cranna, daisy meager
"Dionysus’ chips make every other interpretation of ‘hand-cut’ look and taste like they’ve been made by a pug using a slotted spoon. These babies, these are angular. Sharp and crispy on the ends and straight down the middle—plus fluffy and, remarkably, full of potato-tasting potato inside. In fact, most things at this excellent Greek spot are a cut above the rest. The pittas are generously filled and the perfectly charcoal-cooked souvlaki is an always-satisfying lunch or dinner. For those of a certain generation, Dionysus was a legendary West End spot in the ‘70s. It's since moved north and is an everyday go-to in Southgate for those working nearby or locals swinging by on the way home. There are a couple of tables and a counter if you fancy eating in, but it's mainly a takeaway for Greek feast dinners. photo credit: Giulia Verdinelli" - Jake Missing
