Souvlaki was the best record that came out of the 90`s
Souvlaki is a well-known Greek dish made with chunks of meat grilled on a skewer, very similar to a shish kabob. The meat is usually pork, but other meats are sometimes used instead, like chicken or lamb.
Can be eaten plain on the stick (kalamaki), in a sandwich (usually pita bread), with tsatsiki or yogurt sauce, tomato and onions. Sometimes lettuce and paprika are added, or even a few french fries.
Souvlaki is related to but is not the same as a gyro (yeeros).
I'll have one souvlaki kalamaki please.
Souvlaki is a kind of a sandwitch made of a round bread-like-pie, gyros, tomato and tzatziki. It is very popular amongst the greeks. Note that if a greek resides or is traveling abroad the first thing he/she does when coming back to greece is go and have a souvlaki!
I'll have a souvlaki with everything.
