Thick strained yogurt, grated cucumber, garlic, olive oil and dill, made in house and served with pita warmed on the grill. It is the starter that sets up every Greek meal.
Tzatziki is the sauce that defines Greek food, and a restaurant is easy to judge by it. We make ours in house from thick strained yogurt, grated and drained cucumber, fresh garlic, olive oil, lemon and dill — no thin, watery shortcut version.
Served with pita warmed on the grill until it puffs and blisters, it works as a starter for the table, as a side with souvlaki or gyros, or as a light vegetarian snack on its own. Most of our regulars add an extra portion to every order. It goes well beside our souvlaki combo platter or a beef souvlaki platter — you will find both on the full Papa’s Souvlaki menu.
Strained yogurt for body, cucumber that has been grated and drained so it does not water the dip down, plenty of fresh garlic, good olive oil, a squeeze of lemon and dill. Made fresh and rested so the garlic mellows into the yogurt rather than shouting over it.
Start the table with it and warm pita, spoon it over grilled pork or chicken souvlaki, use it in place of mayo on a burger, or dip fries into it. Order an extra side with any takeout order — it travels perfectly in its own container.
Tzatziki and pita is the easiest thing to put in the middle of a table. Order it with your meal from 10522 111 St NW for dine-in, pickup or delivery across Downtown Edmonton, Oliver, Glenora and Inglewood.
Never from a tub
We mix it in house from strained yogurt, fresh cucumber, garlic and dill, so it is thick enough to hold on a piece of pita.
Soft and blistered
Pita hits the grill until it puffs and picks up a little colour, which beats bread straight out of the bag every time.
The all-purpose Greek sauce
Spoon it over souvlaki, use it on a burger or dip your fries in it — there is a reason regulars order extra.
