About this spot
In the electric heart of Exarchia, Madam Sousou serves up the city's most addictive souvlaki, where the meat is marinated for days before hitting a charcoal grill. You'll find the classic pita stuffed with juicy pork or chicken alongside crispy fried potatoes and fresh tzatziki that cuts through the smoky flavor perfectly.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order a 'souvlakia' (plural) to get multiple small skewers instead of just one large wrap, which is better for sharing.
- Bring cash only; this no-frills spot in Exarchia rarely accepts credit cards.
- Go early or late to avoid the massive lines that form during lunch and dinner rushes.
