I noticed this place was marked permanently closed, but Just Eat still seems to be taking orders 🤷🏾‍♀️. Pleasantly surprised with this place. I ordered 2 pork Gyros Hotbox (with extra chicken) and a chicken Gyros Hotbox. Each box was £8.75 (£1.95 for the extra chicken)Which consisted of some bread, some chips, salad, sauces and meat/s. The food tasted nice and it came on time but the chunks in the salad were cut too big, they put both sauces in 1 container, which was a bit odd, they also put the sauce container in the box, which took up a fair amount of space. The chips and salad on the bottom of the box with the meat on top. I liked it and will probably order from here again.

I remember showing disinterest on this place last summer while we were walking down Acre Lane to lunch, due to the less-appealing exterior – it can look like either a hobbyist shop (think Hornby) or hardware store. So, on a rainy day by winter, locking my bike just opposite, I re-read its menu and ordered The Classic – flavoursome! The meat tender, with deceivingly light tzatziki, enough thinly-cut fresh vegetables anchoring the tasty fries wrapped in lightly grilled pita – unhurriedly prepared, I thought. Had to come back for The Lamb few weeks later; this time, it became apparent the meat portions are small (or, the earlier cycling to blame). Still, would happily visit again soon, despite somewhat being forced to stare at the odd mural overlaying the comical orange wall paint.

This is a lovingly engineered souvlaki from attentive and friendly staff. The pork was well cooked and juicy and almost every element was well balanced. It's great to have a place like this in Brixton. There is room for improvement: 1) There should be more chips in each wrap. There were half a dozen. In Greece, they're a significant part. 2) The bread could be made on the premises. This isn't a deal breaker, but it would be a nice touch. 3) Despite what other reviewers say, £6.50 is too much for a souvlaki. I'm not suggesting a 2 euro price tag like in Greece, but there's actually not that much food for the money and they do slap on a service charge if you sit in. For the portion and the type of food, and if you look at how much is charged at other souvlaki places in London, the price should be dropped by a pound or so.
