"A souvlaki stall at the Varvakeios Market known for its charcoal-grilled approach and strong butchery roots: proprietor Tasos Perdikis comes from six generations of butchers and fans his charcoal using special kermes wood from Mount Athos; beyond traditional pork skewers he serves Smyrna-style soutzoukakia (meatballs) dressed with onion, tomato, mustard and a punchy Florina pepper sauce, made from freshly ground market meat, spices, a touch of ouzo, and evident care." - Anya von Bremzen

Situated on the edge of the meat markets, is this tiny gem of a grill, with authentic no frills greek eatery. Don't be led astray by the looks of this place, its true flavours and tastes, the way greek food should be we ordered 2 double Souvlaki and the horiatiko loukaniko/village sausage, that is basically the menu, 2 to 3 things done superbly. Yhis is not fancy, a few stools and tables, and a lot of standing room, Enjoy, yes

Amazing souvlaki place, it's a local and authentic place in the entrance of market. It is perfect for quick bite and it is absolutely delicious.

Part of the Athens Ultimate Food Tasting Tour. Well worth the visit for traditional Greek fare. We visited late afternoon before the usual dinner time.

Out of all the restaurants I went to on my trip to Greece, this was the absolute best, hands down. The kebab was just so full of flavor and hands down delicious. I can't wait to go back here.

What an amazing “souvlaki” experience. With pork meat or “soutzoukaki inside, spicy with a superb recipe. Definitely put the paprika sauce inside since it skyrockets your taste. Highly recommended !! ❤️😎🤩💯

This place is a really cool stop if you want fresh meat cooked real well. When we stop they were out of chicken and so we got pork kebabs. They were extremely tasty and it’s right next to the meat market for the experience of what the market is like here. It only took about five minutes for the kebabs to be cooked and ready to go. I recommend stopping by here in the area.

Nice pita, good and a different experience with mustard. They don’t do fries on theirs here which I definitely prefer. Overall a tasty gyros. Note: If you’re a bit squeamish of butchers and don’t like the smell of raw meat, don’t eat in as it’s up the alley of the meat market.
