The vacuum packed, from the wholesaler, kebabs strike again.All the "Greek" restaurant round here seems to use the same supplier.Apologies, I am just very cynical when it comes to Greek food/ restaurants.
The two in my town and another I have visited claim to be "Fresh", however, the reality is they simply buy in their variety of skewers and meats from a wholesaler in vacuum packing and just heat them on a grill.
While it does taste OK, you can tell that they aren't fresh as they have a kind of rounded, unnatural shape to the Souvlaki.
Given what you have said though, i trust that what you had was in fact fresh.
What was the name of the place if you don't mind me asking?

Owners are Cypriot rather than Greek (yes there is a difference, to me anyway
), however the Souvlaki was better than any I've tried in Cyprus outside of the Last Castle (Viklari) - well seasoned and cooked to perfection. Even if it was from a wholesaler, whatever they did to it was absolutely on point - only issues were 1) there weren't twice as many of them, and 2) they'd run out of Keo so I had to wash it down with that Mythos stuff

Thanks for sharing. Some nice food on that menu.Owners are Cypriot rather than Greek (yes there is a difference, to me anyway

There is always a solution to not having twice as many kebabs...buy twice the amount! Often if you ask for a double portion of meat, they'll do you a little deal.
