The Athenian

The Athenian | Souvlaki in London | Greek Street Food

We launched The Athenian at the end of 2014, as a small street food venture offering freshly made souvlaki prepared in the healthiest, most authentic way possible.

Ask any Greek and they will be sure to tell you that souvlaki is our nation’s favourite food to eat on the go.

A quick, healthier alternative to fast food, it consists of a pita wrap filled with grilled meat  - or cheese as a vegetarian alternative & mushrooms as a vegan one - and served in a way we love.

The name souvlaki comes from a medieval word, meaning ‘little skewer’, after the cooking method.

The Greek Larder, restaurant review: Amid the bleakest architecture ...

I'll never forget how, in full view of the Parthenon, the streets filled not with civil unrest but with men and women who defied warnings of blood to savour fresh dollops of tzatziki in the sun.

It is also an early contender for Dish of the Year 2015: a medley of salty, stringy, succulent melted cheese with sweet, rich and nutty accompaniments.

The slow-cooked chickpeas with tzatziki are a sloppy riot of garlic-infused Mediterranean goodness, healthy if dear at £6; and for the more adventurous there are masterfully crafted lamb tongues with oregano potatoes and htipiti (red pepper and feta spread (£6), and rabbit with parsnip skordalia – a kind of potato and garlic purée (also £6).

£60 for two, without wine Four more foodie notes from the past week Lunched with the High Commissioner of India; a spicy, baked fillet was the highlight of a perfect meal.

Restaurant Of The Week : Suvlaki In Soho

Launched in 2015, the Athenian grill is a bright addition to Soho’s bustling foodie district and brings the best authentic Greek street food to the table, in the classiest of ways.

Transporting the well-known street food favourite, suvlaki, to Soho, leading Greek chef and TV personality Elias Mamalakis has worked his modern magic to present a traditional menu that reaps the tastes of Greek cuisine in a merging of old and new flavours that’s popular amongst its diners.

Delectable options such as pork with tzatziki, chicken thighs with lemon mustard, wild boar sausage and Chios island Mastelo cheese frequent Suvlaki’s menu.

For those who still haven’t made up their minds (it happens to the best of us), Suvlaki’s burgers mixed with minced beef, pork and lamb make a great choice, packed with flavour and all garnished with fresh Greek salad.

Bringing exceptional and affordable Greek street food to the table in a sharp, contemporary setting that transports you straight to the winding cobbled streets of Greece and that can only be a good thing, surely.

The Athenian street food brand opens ... | The Caterer

Greek street food restaurant the Athenian has opened in London’s Belgravia at Grosvenor’s Elizabeth Street development.

The Athenian will serve Greek street food snacks, salads and meze dishes such as souvlaki, halloumi, pittas and dips using ingredients from small independent producers in both Greece and the UK.

Directors Efthymios Vasilakis and Neofytos Christodoulou founded the Athenian in 2014 as a street food stall.

Joanna Lea, retail director, Grosvenor Britain & Ireland, said: “Elizabeth Street is in a prime location to be able to provide an attractive offer for Londoners, and new independent brands like the Athenian will help to drive this vision further.”

Josh Leon, head of restaurants at Colliers International said: “This part of Belgravia continues to be in the spotlight and is set to make food and fashion headlines all through next year.
