Whole lamb on the spit
The lamb turns on an electric spit and slow roasts for hours, basted all the way with garlic, oreganum and our special basting sauce that soaks right into the meat until the crust crackles and it falls away from the bone.

Souvla & Lamb on the Spit
The oldest way of cooking, and still the best.
Our special souvla runs over an open fire while our lamb-on-spit works off its own electric cooker. Either way, the result is a delicious array of aromas to whet your appetite. Reserved for special occasions, be sure not to miss out on the next one, or book one for your own celebration.
What we do
Cooked over coals, the Greek way
Souvla over the coals
Big cuts of lamb, pork or chicken threaded onto the skewer and cooked over the coals the traditional way, seasoned with our own blend of herbs and spices — garlic, oreganum, smoke and patience.
The full table
The main souvla is a generous helping of 3 pieces slow roast souvla (lamb, chicken & pork) served with traditional Greek salad and garlic roast potatoes. Level up your feast with a selection of meze to start and delectable desserts to finish.
For your function
Perfect for year-end parties, birthdays, christenings and family feasts — in the taverna, on the terrace or catered at your venue.
