Souvlaki is the heart of Greek street food, and chicken souvlaki is the version most people in Edmonton order first. At Papa’s Souvlaki we start with tender chicken, marinate it in olive oil, fresh lemon juice, garlic and Greek oregano, then grill the skewers over high heat so the outside caramelises while the inside stays juicy.
Every chicken souvlaki order leaves our kitchen with warm pita, house-made tzatziki and a choice of Greek sides — lemon-roasted potatoes, seasoned rice or a crisp Greek salad. It is a light, protein-forward Mediterranean meal that works just as well for a quick downtown lunch as it does for a family dinner at home. Looking for something different off the grill? Try our pork souvlaki or the greek salad, or browse the full Papa’s Souvlaki menu.
How We Grill Our Chicken Souvlaki
The marinade does the work first: a minimum rest in olive oil, lemon and oregano keeps the chicken tender and carries flavour all the way through. Skewers then go straight onto the grill, where the high heat gives the edges that lightly charred, smoky finish that separates real souvlaki from oven-baked chicken.
How Your Souvlaki Is Served
Choose your chicken souvlaki as a pita wrap for something you can eat on the move, or as a full platter with rice, lemon potatoes, Greek salad and extra pita. Tzatziki comes on the side so you control how much you use, and you can add extra sauce, feta or hot peppers when you order.
