Olympian Greek Souvlaki · South Pattaya
Greek Souvlaki in Pattaya
Authentic grill · 3rd Road · Thessaloniki recipes
If you are searching for Greek souvlaki in Pattaya, Greek food Pattaya locals recommend, or a Greek restaurant in South Pattaya on 3rd Road, Olympian is a small owner-run grill built for exactly that — not a generic “Mediterranean” menu, but skewers, pita and tzatziki the way they are made in northern Greece.
What is souvlaki?
Souvlaki means “little skewer.” Pork or chicken is cut, threaded onto a stick and grilled over the flame. In Greece it is everyday street food — eaten wrapped in warm pita with tzatziki, tomato and onion, or served as a plate. At Olympian everything is grilled to order when you walk up or place a Grab order. Nothing sits under a heat lamp.
Souvlaki vs gyro — what Pattaya visitors ask
A gyro shaves meat from a vertical rotating spit. Souvlaki is skewered and grilled fresh. Olympian is a souvlaki shop — if you want that specific Greek street-food experience in Pattaya, this is the format you are looking for.
Greek food in Pattaya — what exists
Pattaya’s dining scene is dominated by Thai seafood, international chains and beachfront venues. Authentic Greek kitchens are uncommon. Olympian fills a narrow niche: budget-friendly Greek street food on South Pattaya Road, open five evenings a week. For a fuller taverna setting in Central Pattaya, Mythos Greek Restaurant is the visited-tier option on the Pattaya Restaurant Guide Greek shortlist.
Why guests rate Olympian
Olympian holds a 5.0 rating on TripAdvisor (early reviews). Guests mention the tzatziki, the Thessaloniki authenticity and owner Yannis Pagiannidis at the grill. One review calls it “the best souvlaki shop in Pattaya city.” Another says it is “actually the best Greek food I tried in Thailand.”
