About this spot
In the heart of Plaka, Elvis serves up hearty Greek souvlaki that feels like a local's lunch break rather than tourist fare. Skip the generic gyros and order the meaty souvlaki with extra tzatziki to cut through the rich lamb flavors. The casual seating and quick service make it perfect for grabbing a bite before exploring the narrow streets of Athens.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order the souvlaki wrapped in pita if you want a handheld meal, but ask for loose meat to try the sides like fried potatoes.
- Expect short lines during lunch hours; go early or grab a seat on the sidewalk to avoid waiting inside.
- Try the grilled octopus as an appetizer if you want to elevate your meal beyond standard street food.
