How it's wrapped
Skewer to pita in four moves
Three minutes on the coals, one turn, no shortcuts. Ώπα!
The flame
Skewers hit the charcoal. Three minutes a side, fat dripping, fire answering back.
Off the skewer
The meat slides off hot, straight onto the board. Nothing waits around here.
Pita & tzatziki
The pita warms at the grill's edge, then takes a thick swipe of tzatziki.
The wrap
Fries in, onion on, one tight roll in paper. Ώπα - it's yours.
Sauces
Tzatziki first, always
Made every morning, gone every night. The salad bar keeps up with the grill.
Τζατζίκι - Tzatziki
Strained yogurt, cucumber, garlic that means it.
Τυροκαυτερή - Tirokafteri
Whipped feta with chili. Creamy first, then it bites.
Λαδολέμονο - Ladolemono
Lemon, olive oil, oregano - poured over everything chicken.
Καπνιστή μαγιονέζα - Smoked mayo
Smoked paprika mayo, made for the fries.
From the coals
Smoke over Mitropoleos street, the Acropolis up the hill, skewers turning until one in the morning.
