Yummmmmmmmmmmmm! We all love it! See you again soon! Defo go for the pork!!

Wow .. super tasty and fresh.. A welcome addition to tooting market ÔøΩ

Went just before Easter and wow what a nice change to have some very interesting food. It was hot and fresh the staff were very polite. Cost £20 for the two of us ok its still fast food but definatly worh the visit and will be going back soon.

We had a take away for three tonight and all the food was excellent, top class.

Very friendly environment and delicious food! Many thanks to the manager and the team of the athenian in Victoria for looking after us!

Very busy when we visited last Saturday, but well worth the wait. Delicious souvlaki, the “ super box” was plenty. Staff were friendly & very helpful. I’ll definitely be going back.

Used to visit the shop down Elephant and Castle quite often and every time the quality of food as well as the customer service impressed massively. Amazing job

This was my fav lunch place, when they only had a stall next to Mansion House. So delicious and fresh! Hallumi & meat wrap OMG ÔøΩ Can't wait to visit the new Box Park location. I was googling for a while and could not find where they moved - that was disturbing ÔøΩ Never change!

I had 'The real greek' wrap last weekend and it was horrible in comparison, not to mention the price ÔøΩ

This place is so so good. Original greek souvlaki. The ingredients are also fresh and of high quality. I can't recommend this enough. Εξαιρετικό!

The best place to have a proper greek souvlaki!!! I highly recommend The Athenian in Victoria! Excelent customer service and really quick!!!

So fresh, and tasty, and very well priced. The wine was lovely too. Will definitely recommended and return next time in Shoreditch.

Ordered through Uber Eats, came super quickly and tasted absolutely amazing. Would 100% recommend if you're looking for a healthier take out option. P.S - hot sauce is divine.

Ordered online for delivery! Pleasantly surprised fast delivery,friendly driver & food was lovely makes a difference from your usual fast food places xxx will buy again xx

One of the best options to have lunch around. Amazing Greek food for a rather cheap price

Mixed reviews. Visited a month ago with a friend who was visiting from Plymouth. We went to the Bristol cargo and the Food was DELICIOUS, fresh, and service was exceptional. I’m pretty sure the manager/owner was there as he was very polite, knowledgable and lovely and even kept our wine cool inside and kept an eye on us to top up our drinks outside. I was so impressed I raved about it to my hubby so we went back last week but unfortunately had a different experience. Two of the meats were sold out. Appreciate it was busy and out of their control but we were waiting a long time for food. When finally coming to order the lady’s who were serving us were almost talking over us between themselves in their own language. Maybe Spanish but not 100% sure. We took our food to sit by the water as all the seating was full and the wraps had hardly any meat or sauce in and the sweet potatoe fries were definitely over done. Really wanted to love this place but not sure if I would give it a 3rd try now :(

Lovely food, very clean and hygienic, respectful to various dietary choices.

Loved it visited the Victoria store today on a whistle stop visit to London, the best souvlaki I have had outside of Greece great flavour meat and the haloumi was amazing thank you for a great service and food

Love it! Amazing service! Had both chicken and pork gyros wrap! Lovely atmosphere!

I tried the pork wrap. It was perfect. Actually that was one of the best souvlaki I ever had ! And the staff smiling and friendly:) Bravo guys.

I love the place! I feel lucky to have so close to my house SOUVLAKI! The quality of the meat is very good and the boys and girls working there (elephant and castle) are never grumpy or look tired, instead they are chatty and pleasant !

Great food and value for money given the location. will definitely be a regular customer

Great food and awesome customer service (at least at box park). Love the staff and the food!ÔøΩÔøΩ

Great Staff , lovely food, affordable price, I could literally taste Greece !!

Got the Super Chicken Box in the restaurant in White City. LOVED the tasty and very tender chicken, the amazing unique halloumi cheese, the fries, the dips EVERYTHING. Really full after having it all. Amazing service as well. Would definitely recommend it!

Food is great and the service is also very good ! :)

Food is amazing. Fresh Greek food, what’s not to like?

Staff really friendly. Would definitely recommend

Excellent customer service! Thank you the Athenian team in Victoria! I will definitely recomend the lovely greek food and the really friendly environment!

Every time I go here for food it is always incredible. It's all fresh, cooked well and more importantly really tasty. There is something for everyone, even my fussy husband loves it here so that much count for something! Always recommend this place and will definitely be back soon!

Best souvlaki in London! Great service, top quality

Best I think I've ever had! Had one at the beginning of the night out and then one at the end! Soooooooo good!!!! I am so happy you are now here in Bristol!

Amazing vegan options !! Loved the food !!

Afcharisto!! Kalimera !!

Great place. Just please make sure you give the right order to the right customer. Today is the second time I got somebody else's order :(

Apart from that, 4 stars!

Tried today pork giros. First of all, lady was a bit stingy with filling, and chips were really really dry inside :O flavour was however nice! And people at till were friendly. Melintzanosalata was a DELICIOUS sauce!

So, would come back if in the area but hope to find better chips and portions :) p.s. lady at the till didn't know Greek, but that s okay ;) will try souvlakia next time

Could be improved with more choice of sauces and better quality meat. Pitta was nice and soft and chips were on point too.

With all due respect, your opening time on facebook are wrong. We came all the way from the other side of Bristol and you were closed!

Delicious food, ruined by rude staff and terrible service.

Well, they don't make the gyros there, the meat is frozen and they just warm it up....i mean you pay £5.90 for a pyta gyros and the meat is tasteless....a bit horrible.....

The food was quite nice. But it is essentially street food. Ok it's hipster street food so it carries a slight premium but not as much as they charge. It's not worth the price. Also the staff are rude, and they don't except cash at all which I feel discriminates against the unbanked, what about homeless people? Or people who have not long been here from other countries that get paid only in cash, or tourists who get charged excessive rates for international food on top of the already overpriced food. Save your money, go somewhere else not a pleasant experience, poor service, discriminates against homeless people is the takeaway.

I ordered gyros for delivery they brought me a skewer! Spend £20 for two wraps i didnt order!

Yummmmmmmmmmmmm! We all love it! See you again soon! Defo go for the pork!!
