Monastiraki Kebab - Irakleion

Huge portions of delicious food. Busy place but the cooks and servers make every attempt to get you seated and eating. Great place to watch people strolling by. VERY reasonably priced. My wife and I shared the mixed grill and Izmir Kepap special salad; we couldn 't finish either of these as there was just too much food. Really. A nice change from Greek/Cretan cuisine, if you wish.

(looking for Halal info? read the end! Food was very good (Vegetarian options But, very very busy so the service was very slow difficult and delayed This is NOT fast food. Waited 31 minutes between order and food arriving. Most people had same problem, but also people were served in random order catch the waiters attention if you want served first. If you are on sitting on the outside of the tables there are a LOT of pigeons flying around (I didn't mind though Tables are very tightly packed and crowded. HALAL ? I asked, they said beef and chicken is halal. I have no evidence to know if this is true or not. I get the impression not. What I can say is that they use the same utensils and preparation area for the chicken, lamb and PORK, so for this reason I'd say all meat is definitely NOT halal. There are plenty veg options though. Just for those who wanted to know. Place passable Service very slow Food delicious

We came here to eat souvlaki with the suggestion of our hotel. we ordered chicken gyros and kebab gyros. kebab meat was so delicious. in my opinion, hühnergyros was the best. the hunch was marinated with oregano. it really tastes homemade not artificial sounds as in Germany. Moreover, I believe that all Greek restaurants do not use ready pommes. they prepare. for when they eat, they can feel that it is homemade like their mother home. the prices were really good because the proportions were really big. we will also come another time later to eat chicken gyro plate. it was really hard to finish, but so delicious. I also leave the prizes for those who wonder. kebab souvlaki: 2,8 euro huhn gyros: 3,6 euro chicken gyros teller: 8,6 euro drinks: 1,5 euro

Great eating with dressed from the nearby east as kebab, doner and gyros. we had the chicken gyros share and it was amazing!

Fast and tasty! 22 euros for large mix grill for 2 person is great option. But food contains a lot of fat, fitness addicted should be careful :
