Dimitris Greek Food Riverside

Easily the best souvlaki I’ve ever had. I was actually planning on going somewhere else but saw the huge queue so decided to try it out. The pita bread was soft, warm and chewy like it was freshly baked, the lamb was juicy and tender, the lettuce and tomato were fresh and crispy, and the tzatziki and tomato sauce tied it together perfectly. The portion size was huge too - I got the smallest size and it still made me full. Now I understand why the queue was so long!

If there were more than 5 stars I would happily give them to Dimitris. This is probably the most tastiest thing I've eaten in Christchurch. Highly recommend this if you're hungry and looking... The portions are incredibly generous. The meat is plentiful and seasoned to delicious perfection. They've been around for 35 years for good reason and know how to keep customers coming back for more. Great, traditional Greek street food. Will be my lunch stop when I visit Chch from now onwards!

Had some souvlaki at Dimitris 8 years ago when he had a caravan amongst the ruins of Christchurch. His souvlaki was the best I had eaten then, and still is now. Good to see he has a shop now that is busy. Awesome food. You will not leave hungry.

The Souvlaki was really yummy and very well sized. Price was fair as well. No complaints.

The meat is delicious, soft and not hard to bite, but the bread is slightly ordinary.

I ordered 2 Lamb and 1 chicken 2lambs for me and my mom(she was at home for takeaway)and chicken for my husband because he doesn't like the Lamb meat. They gave us 3 Lambs by mistake. (They written chicken on the package crossed out form lamb) husband ate a few bites cos he was talking on the phone before he started to eat. But I ate more than half I really love it so I took him there. And he realized it wasn't chicken. I wish he didn't mind but he refused to carry-on so I took it front girl who served us to ask change to chicken and left food there. And She came back to ue with his souvlaki and said they can't sell or use because he ate it so can't change for free. Only they can change my mom's Lamb souvlaki to chicken. I didn't know what to say. But my husband got upset and said it wasn't our fault. Suddenly the owner brought the chicken souvlaki and gave us and took the Lamb(for my mom) out from the paper back also talked loudly You ordered 2lamb and 1 chicken I gave same ok?" So I explained him it was for my mom's. Finally He just dropped like giving up to finish. We couldn't eat or anything lost appetite wanted though away felted extremely humiliated.What a amazing calculation and ridiculous response. They made us fraud.Never seen this kind of situation at the restaurant before. I loved the food there so wanted to let my family to try but by this happening I can't go back there and I don't want to have souvlaki with this bad memory.It bothers me because I keep thinking about it like a nightmare.Really nice. I had look the reviews and expected. I think this is one of the top 3 I've ever had souvlaki so far. Very big piece of Lamb

Few time I was in Christchurch and every time I ate here. Falafel is just amazing. It's always a line to get food, however, less than 10 minutes is waiting.

My dad and I loved it! Such a welcoming staff and AMAZING food. Check it out and take the double. Beef mice and lamb combo is our favourite!
