SarahJJJJ Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 My partner and I recently discovered Souvlaki Street, down on North Cross Road. Run by a lovely couple and serves the best Greek style wraps! Would highly recommend taking a trip down there one Saturday. We're massive foodies, would love to hear some of your recommendations.Thanks,Sarah Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/64223-souvlaki-street-north-cross-road-market/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustard Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Do they rap in Greek? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/64223-souvlaki-street-north-cross-road-market/#findComment-866549 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loz Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Apparently, if you eat at a Greek restaurant you get to vote whether or not to pay the bill afterwards.

peggoula Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Haha how funny.In fact it's not, is it? Maybe just put yourselves in their shoes for one minute instead of making ridiculous jokes?As someone with family there I am very concerned about what is happening.So maybe lets talk about kebabs instead?

Otta Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Nah, it was funny.What's happening in Greece isn't funny for the people living there, but a joke about a stall in East Dulwich really shouldn't be taken too seriously.

KidKruger Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Please.The analogies ARE humorous.Unfortunate your connections in Greece but it's not my fault.British humour is piss-take based.

peggoula Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 I didn't think the joke had anything to do with the ED stall, just had to do with Greeks and the way they deal with debt. And I can tell you people, not necessarily politicians take it very seriously. Anyway, it is just an odd day for greece and maybe I got a bit over emotional.Looking forward to sampling the food anyway.

steveo Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I agree, the wafting aroma from that stall yesterday whooshed me back to a holiday in Paros half a lifetime ago. We went on the Magic Bus so you can guess just how long ago. Unfortunately I wasn't hungry but I'm going to make sure I'm starving next time and eat two Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/64223-souvlaki-street-north-cross-road-market/#findComment-866887 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DulwichFox Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Yep I remember Souvlaki from Paros , Poros , Naxos and especially Ios.. About 10p a pop. marvellous.

aidan_k Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Sorry, but I completely disagree. The food at Souvlaki Street is about as authentic Greek style souvlaki as chicken tikka masala is in India. On top of that it's overpriced and the portions leave a lot to be desired.

Sue Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 The souvlaki I had from Souvlaki Street wasn't like souvlaki I have had in the past in Crete.Sadly not nearly as nice, but hey better than nothing I suppose.I'm back to the Vietnamese van next time I'm having a North Cross Road lunch. As I've never been to Vietnam, luckily I have nothing to compare their delicious food with :)) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/64223-souvlaki-street-north-cross-road-market/#findComment-867292 Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbin Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I don't understand why something has to be 'authentic' to be nice? I didn't say it was authentic - but I do think it is delicious. The only gripe I have is the wait - that's because it is always so busy with other people who seem to like it.

Otta Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Agree with robbin about authenticity. People often say about curry places "it's nothing like the real stuff you get in India". So what? I'm not in India, I'm in this curry house and I'm enjoying the food.I enjoy authentic Mexican food. Doesn't mean I can't also enjoy a Tex Mex.

robbin Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Each to their own Aidan, but if you refuse to eat chicken tikka masala (just about the most popular food in the UK) because it is not 'authentic' Indian, you are going to find yourself being disappointed at most Spanish tapas restaurants, not to mention most Italian, Chinese or Turkish restaurants in the UK. Most I've been to are not 'authentic' but they can still be very tasty.I agree the prices are not bargain basement, but if you don't want to part with your 5 quid you don't have to. That said, taking account of overheads and ingredients and the fact that these people are trying to make a living, I can't see how they could sell for anything much less than that.

robbin Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Sorry, just read Otta's post - my last post was a bit repetitive of that! Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/64223-souvlaki-street-north-cross-road-market/#findComment-867340 Share on other sites More sharing options...
aidan_k Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I didn't actually say I refuse to eat chicken tikka masala because its not authentic did I? I also didn't say that the Solulaki wasn't nice. It's only ok, even when you don't compare it to something you've tasted elsewhere or abroad.

robbin Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Well, in response to the comment "the food at Souvlaki Street is great" you said "I completely disagree" and went on to say it "is about as authentic Greek style souvlaki as chicken tikka masala is in India. On top of that it's overpriced..."So you sort of implied both (that you don't like non-'authentic' food and that it wasn't nice)? Anyway, I see you felt strongly enough about the subject to register on the EDF and make that your first ever post - so fair enough.
