Pork souvlaki is the original taverna classic, and ours stays true to it. Cubes of pork are marinated in olive oil, lemon, oregano and garlic, grilled until the edges crisp, then served with warm pita, tzatziki and Greek sides.
Ask for souvlaki anywhere in Greece and pork is what arrives. Papa’s Souvlaki keeps that tradition in Edmonton: well-marbled pork is cut into cubes, left to soak up olive oil, lemon juice, garlic and dried oregano, then skewered and grilled hard so the fat renders and the outside picks up a deep, savoury char.
The result is richer and more robust than chicken souvlaki — a proper comfort plate. We serve it with warm pita for wrapping, tzatziki for cooling, and a choice of lemon-roasted potatoes, seasoned rice or Greek salad on the side. Want to compare before you order?

Pork carries marinade and heat better than most meats, which is why the classic Greek version uses it. The natural marbling bastes the skewer as it grills, leaving the meat tender inside while the outer edges caramelise into the crisp, slightly smoky bite regulars order it for.
Have it wrapped in pita with tomato, onion and tzatziki, or plated as a dinner with rice, lemon potatoes and Greek salad. Extra tzatziki, feta and hot peppers are all available, and everything is packed to travel well if you are ordering takeout.

Full-flavour comfort food
Natural marbling keeps every cube juicy and gives the grill something to work with, producing the caramelised edges that make this plate so moreish.
