Piatsa Kalamaki- souvlaki in a shovel?

Souvlakia on a stick continue to be the one very affordable food offered in Greece. However, recently the food has undergone a metamorphosis: souvlaki shop owners have tried to dress it up (as in the case of Piatsa Kalamaki) or stand it up (as it’s being offered in interesting stands in other restaurants) in an effort to make the food seem more exciting and competitive. Surely the price and the taste alone would accomplish that? I recently went to Piatsa Kalamaki in Vouliagmeni , and found that it won out in every way: good service, great atmosphere, excellent portions, and quality food! Piatsa Kalamaki offers simple and few choices, but you will enjoy it all. If you order a salad, we recommend the Roka and Anthotiro Cheese with a lemon-honey vinaigrette. Your meat will come served in what looks like a silver shovel, to match the silver pots and pans hanging on the wall.

You will enjoy everything on the menu, but XpatAthens recommends these dishes in particular:

From the appetizers, the grilled mastello cheese and fried zucchini sticks. From the foods, try the “manti” or the “lahmajoun”, and the fillets in moschato (a sweet wine) sauce with mushrooms and mashed potatoes. You must also order (and share) the chicken “payidakia”. From the variety of kebabs, we especially enjoy the spicy kebab adana. And of course, don’t forget an extra order of french fries! Finish off your satisfying meal with the “Loukoumades” (the closest description would be to say it resembles a little donut) accompanied by mastic ice-cream, and the “mosaiko.”
