Souvla Allerton Road

Head down Allerton Road and you'll find Souvla doing what it does best: grilled meat cooked over charcoal, wrapped in warm pitta, finished with their own sauce. It's the kind of place where locals actually eat, not somewhere you'd stumble upon by accident. Order the lamb souvlaki if you're peckish or grab a mixed grill if you're properly hungry — either way, you're looking at decent food that tastes like someone actually knows what they're doing in the kitchen. The chips are crispy, the portions are generous, and at these prices you'll wonder why you've been bothering with chain kebab shops.
