Consumer perception is that souvlakis are greasy take-away food, however Souvlakihut differentiates itself by producing fresh, healthy and natural products made with high quality, flame grilled meat, freshly prepared salad ingredients and authentic Greek seasonings.

Souvlakihut’s menu comprises a range of seven souvlakis under seven and a half grams of fat, including, Meatlovers, Hot & Spicy Chicken or Lamb, Traditional Chicken or Lamb, Vegetarian and Greek Chicken.

The company’s commitment to customer satisfaction is further demonstrated through an experienced, qualified chef who develops the menu for each store and is responsible for sourcing the freshest ingredients and creating a delicious combination of flavours.

Souvlakihut also believes in fostering franchisee relationships to facilitate strong growth. This is led through the business’ general manager, who has a certified teaching qualification and uses his experience to provide franchisees with leading edge training programmes supported by creative and effective learning techniques.
