This shop defines the best of Athens' best street food - slovaki. Call it misleading that they should have an outlet right smack in the country's most visited area amongst tourists - Monstraiki. It could very well be missed as a tourist trap given the number of people that come and go or dine in.
Souvlaki is also known as the Hamburger of Greece, these are sold all over the streets of Athens. Priced at 2 euros each, this were even better priced than the burgers at Mcdonalds.
The window that gets me delicious. The process is simple - pay at the counter and wait for your slovaki to be made but there is just mere seconds of interaction - chicken or lamb? And then silence is kept in respect for my lunch being made.
Nifty hands make the job easy - a pinch of this and that and by folding everything in, my slovaki is complete.
Lamb slovaki snugly wrapped in layers. As simple as it looks with lamb slices, a tomato wedge, a bunch of crisp french fries and a dollop of yogurt sauce - it was a man food version of sandwich. So hearty and gratifying, I could not stop munching at first bite.
The fries made a huge difference to the texture of the sandwich and truly, nothing tasted better than this cheap eat.
The chicken had less bite but still as good. I wish we could dedicate an entire meal to Metropoleos!

Do pay them a visit if you are around the corner - oh yes, they offer complimentary use of their wash rooms too. This is a huge draw especially when everyone else either charges for entrance or require you to have a full meal.
