The Athenian

White City

enjoy a delicious souvlaki delivered!

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.

What’s souvlaki?

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 with a variety of freshly grilled fillings and served in a way we love. The name souvlaki comes from a medieval word, meaning ‘little skewer’, after the cooking method.

The inspiration for our own pursuit of cooking began on the remote mountain village of Vamos on the island of Crete. It was here that a local lady, shared her own secret recipes with us. We spent the evening cooking with her, with vegetables from the garden. We were so blown away that we wanted to recreate that unforgettable experience.

Greece was going through a difficult period at the time. We wanted to help put the country on a positive light and prove that Greece and its people are full of ideas and creativity. Up to that point Greek cuisine was being somewhat misrepresented outside of Greece. We were often disappointed by out-dated, unappetising dishes. There was even confusion of dishes from neighbouring cuisines to Greek ones and our search for lovingly-made, mouth-watering souvlaki was nearly impossible.
