Souvlaki Brothers is a casual souvlaki restaurant at Shop 3/125 Main South Road in Sockburn, Christchurch, with a 4.4 Google rating and a Facebook page for updates.
Souvlaki done well is a study in simplicity: marinated meat — pork or chicken, traditionally — grilled hard over a high flame until charred at the edges, then folded into warm pita with tzatziki, tomato, onion and, as they do in Greece, a handful of chips tucked inside the wrap. The sign of a good shop is meat cooked to order rather than held in a tray, and pita pressed on the grill until lightly crisped. A wrap is at its best in the first five minutes, so eat it fresh rather than letting it steam in a bag; a busy lunch queue is usually a good sign.
Handy for Christchurch's western suburbs, Souvlaki Brothers gives Sockburn a straightforward stop for Greek street food on Main South Road.
