General Info

Tucked along 1619 Stittsville Main St, Stittsville, ON K2S 1B2, Canada, The Original Souvlaki feels like the kind of place locals return to again and again. From the moment you arrive, the setting has that relaxed neighborhood restaurant vibe-casual, welcoming, and easy to settle into whether you're stopping by for a quick meal or planning a longer dine-in experience with friends or family.

One of the first things that stands out when browsing the menu is how focused it is on classic Greek-inspired comfort dishes. The Chicken Souvlaki Platter is easily one of the highlights. It’s the type of dish that captures why people love Mediterranean flavors in the first place. The grilled chicken has that smoky aroma you expect from souvlaki, and when it’s served as a full platter, it feels hearty and satisfying without being overly heavy. It’s the kind of meal that makes you slow down and enjoy each bite.

Another favorite that keeps showing up in customer reviews is the Gyro Wrap. It’s simple, flavorful, and perfect when you want something quick but still filling. Wrapped neatly and packed with savory gyro meat and fresh ingredients, it’s easy to see why many regulars grab it for takeout during busy days. Still, it tastes just as good when enjoyed fresh at the restaurant.

The overall experience at The Original Souvlaki is flexible, which is something diners appreciate. If the weather is nice, the outdoor seating area offers a relaxed spot to enjoy a meal in the open air. For people on the go, takeout makes it easy to grab a wrap or platter and head out. Meanwhile, those who prefer a slower meal can settle in with the dine-in option and enjoy the atmosphere.

Another thoughtful detail is that dogs are allowed, which adds to the laid-back neighborhood feel. It’s not unusual to see guests stopping by after a walk, grabbing a bite while their dog relaxes nearby.

For gatherings or special events, the restaurant also provides catering, making it a convenient option for sharing their well-loved menu items with a larger group. Whether it’s a casual get-together or a planned celebration, having familiar favorites like souvlaki and gyro on the table always feels like a safe and satisfying choice.

Between its approachable location in Stittsville, a menu centered around flavorful classics, and welcoming services like outdoor seating and takeout, The Original Souvlaki delivers the kind of dining experience that feels both dependable and enjoyable every time you visit.

“ We came here because we heard it was the best in ottawa. The owner is very kind and welcoming. We had tried the chicken souvlaki plate, gyro wrap and the Opa Fries. The chicken was seasoned and grilled to perfection, tender and juicy. The rice was really good and the salad was very refreshing overall 10/10. The gyro wrap was packed with gyro meat, fresh veggies, fries and tzatziki personally i would give it 7/10 however but that based on my taste buds not a big gyro person but if you are def give it a try. Lastly the Opa Fries, let me tell you you can automatically tell the the tzatziki they serve is house made, so full of flavor and if you like garlic you will love there tzatziki. It leaves the taste in your mouth for hours, personally i loved the Opa fries, homade fries loaded with amazing homemade tzaztiki (sooo good). There are 5 or 6 tables with benches to sit and enjoy your food. If your used to jimmy the greek or greek on wheels this place is def a step up on punch of flavor and taste of homemade authentic greek. Portions are great and prices are your average price for greek palates. I will def go back again. ”

“ The Greek food here is amazing. The quality is so authentic and fresh. I got the souvlaki platter after my hair appointment and as soon as I got home I just dug right in - totally forgetting to take a picture because it looked and tasted so good. When I got home I told my roommate about it and he said he had gone there another day and got the souvlaki wrap and it was amazing. My hairdresser had tried the platter and a gyro and loved both, which made me confident to finally try it, and I was not disappointed. The gentleman working there I assume is the owner was super funny and friendly and even rang the bell for me for my first order, which made the experience fun. Everyone in line had been there before and reassured me on how good it was, which was true. I highly recommend going even if you think you don’t like Greek food. Next time I go, I will definitely take a picture of the entire meal before I start digging in, I will attach the picture and update this review since I am very big on adding pictures to my reviews. ”

“ The food was incredible! My wife and I came here for the first time today. We ordered the chicken platter with rice and the sausage platter with fries. Huge portions and it was super tasty. Delicious, tender chicken and sausage. Great fries and rice. The salad was the best Greek salad I have had. Chunky veggies and a tangy vinaigrette were mouthwatering. A few pieces of pita bread to dip in the creamy Tzatziki. ”

“ I spotted this Souvlaki food truck by chance while visiting Stittsville. I decided to give it a try and ordered a Chicken Souvlaki Platter. The food was super delicious! The platter included two chicken souvlaki skewers. The chicken was tender and juicy. The salad was very fresh, topped with delicious feta cheese, and had a nice touch of olive oil and oregano. The platter also included rice, tzatziki, and some bread. The service was great and the guy working in the truck was super friendly. ”

“ A great food truck. Really good food, reasonably priced and fast service. The staff are friendly and happy to help if you're unfamiliar with the menu. The tables are great. It wouldn't hurt to have few umbrellas to provide a little more shade. ”
