Taverna Agora Pork Souvlaki Pita

The Pork Souvlaki Pita at Taverna Agora is a classic Greek street food offering. Souvlaki consists of marinated chunks of meat, in this case pork, that are grilled on a skewer until tender and flavorful. For this dish, the grilled pork is served inside a warm, soft pita wrap along with lettuce, tomato, red onion, a generous amount of tzatziki sauce, and french fries. It is a complete handheld meal.

This dish is popular because it delivers a full range of flavors and textures in one convenient package. The savory grilled pork combines with the fresh crunch of the vegetables, the cool tang of the tzatziki, and the soft saltiness of the fries. The price for this hearty pita wrap is $16.

As a staple of Greek cuisine, the Pork Souvlaki Pita from Taverna Agora is often compared to similar offerings at other top Raleigh Mediterranean restaurants. Its direct competitors include the souvlaki platters at Sitti and the various kebab and shawarma pita wraps served at Neomonde Mediterranean, both of which are known for their authentic preparations of grilled meats.
