Bringing souvlaki to London and Bristol, the way it is meant to be made: simple, fresh and authentically Greek. We are Efthymios and Neofytos, two Londoners born and raised in Athens and Cyprus. 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. Its name comes from a medieval word, meaning 'little skewer', after the cooking method.
