Souvlaki and Gyros Exeter

Souvlaki and Gyros Exeter is a small Greek and Mediterranean spot on Buddle Lane, built around the two dishes in its name rather than trying to cover the whole of Greek cuisine. Gyros wrapped fresh with pork or chicken and skewered souvlaki are the mainstays, cooked to order and served with the usual pitta, salad and tzatziki, alongside mezze platters for anyone wanting to share a few things rather than commit to one dish.

Portions get singled out repeatedly in reviews as generous for the price, and diners who have actually eaten in Greece are among the ones vouching for how close the flavours come to the real thing. There is seating both inside and out for anyone who wants to eat in rather than take away, and prices stay towards the affordable end for an Exeter meal out. It is a straightforward, no-frills operation rather than a full restaurant experience - the kind of place regulars go back to for a reliably good gyros rather than for atmosphere or a big menu.
