Book NowAbout King Jon's Souvlaki
Steps from Southern Cross Station, King Jon’s serves traditional souvlaki carved fresh to order and bundled into warm, pillowy pita. Regulars lean on the counter for authentic Greek flavours delivered without fuss—meat sliced tender straight from the spit rather than pulled from a warming tray.

Before you head over
Practical tips on wait times, seating, and ordering for your visit
Allow Time for Fresh-Cut Preparation
Fresh-cut meat prepared on demand means preparation can take a bit of time, especially during peak or short-staffed periods, so plan for a brief wait.
Plan for Takeout Due to Limited Seating
Takeout is ideal if you are in transit near Southern Cross Station, as on-site dining space is restricted with limited seating available.
Ask About Off-Menu Customizations
Staff are willing to accommodate custom meal requests not listed on the standard menu, so do not hesitate to ask for specific preferences.
