Suvlaki Shoreditch: Modern Athenian Food, Greek Wines and Craft ...

Suvlaki Shoreditch is a modern Greek restaurant and sister restaurant to Suvlaki Soho.

Suvlaki’s menu is inspired by food of Athens with small mezze plates to share or bigger signature and souvlaki dishes.

Suvlaki is the Greek national street food, a dish any meat-eater must try when they visit Greece.

The dishes at Suvlaki Shoreditch are served as and when they are ready, with no particular order, though we asked our waitress to bring everything out at the same time for the sake of my Instagram food flatlays!

My favourite dish at Suvlaki Shoreditch was the Chicken Kebab with Cream Cheese, Wild Oregano and Black Olive Salsa.

Suvlaki, Shoreditch: restaurant review | Foodism

Throw in the Greek key flooring and the aesthetic becomes akin to a prop house from the neoclassical-obsessed Hollywood of the 1950s.

The list is compact and hyper-focused, featuring Greek microbrews and wines from the Kokotos estate just north of Athens and beyond.

Our peachy 2016 Mantina – with its sweet orange notes and medium acidity – from the Domaine Spiropoulos winery is a definite must-try if you order the spicy, dill-laced prawn suvlaki.

The moreish feta and prawn saganaki, grilled mastelo cheese nibbles wrapped in floury pita and drizzled with fig marmalade, and Greek meatballs in rich tomato sauce are as delicious as they sound.

Suvlaki | Restaurants in Brick Lane, London

Britain might have really gotten its head around excellent street food in the last five years or so, but the Greeks have had it nailed since they started mass-peddling souvlaki in the 1950s.

Brick Lane’s newest Hellenic eatery has named itself after the dish – minus the ‘o’ – and opened a dinky, fun dining room that’s the sister to a Soho branch.

There’s a real sense of fun to the place: smiley staff, buzzy conversation, a tucked away booth labelled the ‘Naughty Corner’... and that’s before you realise that the menu offers shots of ouzo for £3.

The souvlaki range was surprisingly variable for a supposed signature dish, though, with a spicy prawn version featuring chewy crustaceans suffocated by a vast pile of mega-greasy, deep-fried kale.

Will its souvlaki make you want to yell ‘YUM!’

Suvlaki restaurant review - London, UK | Wallpaper*

So successful was their first Suvlaki in Soho’s Bateman Street that Irene Margariti and Yannis Theodorakakos have opened a second, this time in Brick Lane.

The Greek-born, London-based interior designer has fashioned a moodily stylish interior of mosaic flooring, gray marble, purple washed walls, a neon-lit crucifix, and a feature wall that mimics a crumbling street corner plastered with overlapping retro poster ads of 60s Greek movie stars and concerts.

Fluffy wraps sourced from Greece encase wild boar sausages and smoked aubergine; triangles of pita are speared with grilled mastelo and dabbed with a gently sweet fig marmalade; a whole aubergine arrives at the table with its skin charred almost to ash, its soft fragrant flesh spiked with tiny feta cubes and pomegranate nuggets; whilst the classic Greek salad features juicy Isle of Wight cherry tomatoes amidst cucumber shards and tart olives.

Suvlaki Shoreditch London, Brick Lane Greek Restaurant

Following the roaring success of the first restaurant in Soho, modern Athenian restaurant Suvlaki has headed — like so many do — out east; opening up its second premises on London’s Brick Lane.

Founded by Irene Margariti, Yannis Theodorakakos, and executive chef Elias Mamalakis — with the concept of bringing fresh, healthy, and responsibly-sourced Greek cuisine to the UK’s capital — diners can devour authentic snacks and sharing plates (alongside the revered eponymous signature dish).

Think ingredients like corn fed chicken; Mount Olympus wild boar sausage; aged Scottish Texel lamb; and spicy prawn for seafood lovers fresh off robata and josper grills.

As with the Soho restaurant, interiors have been designed by London-based Greek designer Afroditi Krassa, who looked to the architecture of modern and neoclassic Athens to create a space with textured and pared-back aesthetics featuring warm, earthy tones of blue; vintage wooden seating; distressed blue marble tabletops; and restored mosaic flooring.

A second dining room tucked at the back of the Brick Lane restaurant enables guests to watch the food being prepared from a reclaimed church bench for six; a reverential experience indeed.
