Solid Greek street food in the park
Taverna In the Park delivers exactly what you'd hope for from a Greek spot in East London's newest park: no-nonsense, flavourful street food that hits the spot. The souvlaki wraps are the star here—marinated pork or chicken wrapped with crisp salad, tangy sauces, and those glorious skin-on fries that make every bite satisfying. It's not a place for a leisurely three-course meal, but if you're walking around the Olympic Park, grabbing a bite before a gig at the London Stadium, or just need a solid lunch break, this is your spot.
The vibe is relaxed and unpretentious, with outdoor seating that lets you soak up the sunshine while you eat. Staff are friendly and efficient, which matters when you're hungry and maybe in a rush. The menu goes beyond souvlaki with solid burger options and a Caesar salad if you want something lighter, but honestly, you come here for the wraps. Prices are reasonable for the location, and the quality is consistent.
