History

My father started this business in 1970. He started selling hot dogs and decided to bring Souvlaki to New Yorkers shortly there after. His father a butcher in Greece with my dad his oldest son by his side would serve their town Xomori in Nafpaktos Greece. This was the family passion. They specialized in cutting and properly trimming the tender parts of meats . They would also host big family events on special Greek Orthodox holidays. People loved the food. On to the streets of New York my father displayed this passion on a food cart serving up some of the juiciest Souvlaki . Today we are serving out of a food truck and hope to be in a store front in near future. Stop by and visit us. We are waiting to serve you.

We were in Astoria and wanted to get a gyro but something quick and easy. We drove by this food truck which seemed busy. For me that's a good thing. We parked the car and went to put in our...
