About Kolonaki Athenian Street Food

Tucked into Malvern, Kolonaki delivers Athenian street-food energy with the sit-down comfort of a buzzing neighborhood joint. Forget standard takeaway wraps—the kitchen turns out generous spreads anchored by marinated chicken and lamb gyros, golden saganaki, and house-made tzatziki. Regulars often split the layered chicken skepasti or bypass decision fatigue entirely with a mixed meat platter paired with an ice-cold Mythos or Alpha beer. The space stays tight and lively, with warm flatbreads hitting tables alongside a dedicated gluten-free pita that holds its own.

  • Platter for Two: Packed with chicken or lamb, saganaki, chips, pita, and house dips to feed groups with zero ordering fuss.
  • Gluten-Free Pita Option: A rare find in casual Greek dining, served warm, soft, and ready for dipping.
  • Chicken Skepasti: Traditional club-style layered pita packed with seasoned chicken and grilled fillings.
  • Imported Beers: Pours classic Greek imports like Mythos and Alpha alongside street-food staples.

  • Elevated Greek Street Food Dining

    The kitchen serves traditional street food staples in an upgraded sit-down restaurant environment with generous portions and warm hospitality.

    They have elevated what’s really a takeaway souvlaki joint to a decent sit down restaurant.

  • Effortless Communal Meat Platters

    Abundant shared platters loaded with mixed meats, dips, salad, and pita eliminate decision fatigue and feed pairs and groups easily.

    We usually order the platter for two. It’s a touch spendy but it means you don’t have to think.

  • Substantial Skepasti Built for Sharing

    The venue's specialty grilled club-style skepasti offers an authentic, substantial feast that comfortably satisfies two diners.

    The Skepasti can easily feed two adults.

  • Dedicated Gluten-Free Pita Bread

    Guests with gluten sensitivities can enjoy traditional gyros and wraps with freshly prepared gluten-free pita that rivals standard flatbreads.

    The thing that drew me here was that they do gluten free pita which is hard to come by

  • Authentic Imported Greek Beers

    The drinks selection features imported Greek favorites such as Alpha and Mythos to accompany gyros and grilled meat plates.

    Also of note: one of the few places that serve Alpha beer.

Signature street-food plates, sharing platters, and pita wraps

  • Platter for Two

    We usually order the platter for two. It’s a touch spendy but it means you don’t have to think. Saganaki, salad, chips, pita, and three kinds of meat (lamb, chicken and sausage) and then you just have to add a Mythos beer to finish up.

  • Chicken Skepasti

    Instagram photos made me want to try the chicken Skepasti and omg I can’t describe how amazing it was in words, just go try it for yourself!

  • Chicken Gyros Plate

    We ordered the Chicken Gyros Plate with Kolonaki, a fresh Greek salad with shredded chicken and feta, and a Chicken Gyros wrap for the kids — and every dish was absolutely delicious.

  • Garlic Lamb Wrap

    I went for the garlic lamb wrap, which came out within about 15–20 minutes and was honestly amazing! Super juicy lamb, packed with flavour, and the extra onion I asked for (which they really delivered on!).

  • Gluten Free Pita

    The thing that drew me here was that they do gluten free pita which is hard to come by... & my goodness..it is such nice gluten free pita, almost like roti bread but so yummy and it melts in your mouth.

  • Saganaki

    The saganaki was rich and delicious, with a nice tangy touch.

  • Mythos Beer

    Saganaki, salad, chips, pita, and three kinds of meat (lamb, chicken and sausage) and then you just have to add a Mythos beer to finish up.

  • Kolonaki Sauce

    The Greek Chicken Gyros (whether a plate or a wrap) is extremely tasty and the Kolonaki sauce which comes with the chicken gyros is also quite amazing!
