Is Kostas worth it for foodies?

Worth itFor food

For food & drink, Kostas delivers.

A hole-in-the-wall grill with a short queue out front, doing one thing — charcoal souvlaki with a punchy tomato-and-spice sauce — extremely well. Lunch, not dinner; eat on the square.

Price
A few euros per skewer; cash, very cheap
Time
20–40 minutes incl. queue
