"The queue is long and you’ll have to eat standing up, but this spotless hole-in-the-wall does some of the best souvlaki in town. If you get antsy while you wait, be mindful of the multiple signs behind the counter saying: OXI AGXOS (NO STRESS). You won’t find frozen fries or garlicky tzatziki here. Just perfectly grilled pork skewers wrapped in a grease-free pita and garnished with sliced tomatoes, onions, parsley, a dollop of yogurt, and plenty of paprika. Don’t worry if you confuse it with the other Kostas souvlaki joint just off Agia Irini Square on Vassiliki Street, where the thing to order is pita bread stuffed with meatballs and spicy tomato sauce. Pull up a plastic chair and watch hipsters drink craft beer while you dribble tzatziki down your chin."

Great food and service! Definitely worth the wait. Was the best gyros we had in Greece and very good price too. Would definitely go back multiple times. Highly recommend if you're visiting.

Amazing souvlaki spot in Athens!! It is the most traditional, excellent service, fast and amazing price! There might be a line and just keep in mind they are limited seats inside so you will probably be doing take out.

The best gyro we had in Athens for sure. The line was a 30 minute wait but worth it. We had 2 pork and 1 beef gyro, both were great. I highly recommend stopping in for this lunch, even if the line seems long. The guy on the grill is the owner and was very friendly to chat with for a brief moment.

Very good Pork and Beef Souvlaki in Pita. Their fillings are seasoned better than all other gryos I’ve had

Best beef souvlaki I’ve ever eaten! Very reasonable pricing. Would recommend it to everyone.

Overhyped. The wait was over 50 minutes long because they cook on a grill flat top to order. Even with it being fresh off the grill, the beef souvlaki was dry and lacking in flavor. I rarely give bad reviews but it was not worth the wait.

This place is the best Souvlaki we tasted in Athens. It‘s close to the metro station Syntagma. If you are hungry and starve like us after arriving in Athens, you HAVE to go there before you start looking for any other food options. It‘s a little shop, opened since 1950, and they cook freshly because they receive daily ingredient deliveries. The lady who works there absolutly friendly and nice. We will visit this place again during our short trip👍

I came here for lunch and was a bit disappointed. I ordered the pork souvlaki and befteki. Firstly, the portion size is much smaller than expected, which is disappointing after waiting for about 45 minutes, I wish I ordered 2. As for the taste, overall it was flavourful and fresh but the meat was pretty dry and lacking compared to the rest of the ingredients. If the line is short, it is probably worth it, but definitely wouldn’t wait more than 10 minutes.
