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. The owner greets diners personally by the grill, happily tweaking wraps with off-menu requests when cravings call.
