souvlaki
Hellenic grilled meat
Souvlaki is a Greek dish of small pieces of meat grilled on a skewer, often served in pita bread with tomatoes, onions, and tzatziki sauce.
The term covers both the skewered meat alone and the wrapped sandwich version sold as street food: We grabbed souvlaki from a stand near the Acropolis.
