An old-school pita-and-skewer shop on Kolokotroni: pork, chicken and kebab on a Japanese robata, no fries.

Opened 29.06.26·one of the new restaurants in Athens, Greece 2026
Tarzan opened in late June 2026 at Kolokotroni 39 in the historic centre, an 1980s-style pita-and-skewer shop from Aris Roussos of Serial Eaters with Eddy Gerekos, Markos Goulas and Grigoris Marselis on the door.
The little-known fact is the grill: the skewers sit on a Japanese robata rather than a vertical gyro spit, and the house refuses fries — three sauces, draft beer in plastic, pork, chicken, kebab. Instagram on 29 June said not soon anymore, we opened. Gastronomos and Kathimerini wrote the old-school centre souvlaki in July. Phone +30 213 032 1695.
@tarzan_the_souvlaki_project is the live camera. The pita is why you go; Kolokotroni is why it feels like Athens.
