Beloved Mykonos Town gyro and souvlaki spot delivering fast, tasty, budget-friendly street food with cramped seating and occasional brusque service.
Why it gets a B+ for overall quality
Sakis earns its grade through solid food quality and exceptional speed—gyros arrive hot and well-seasoned within minutes, even during peak crowds. Prime old-town location and strong value for central Mykonos appeal to travelers seeking authentic street food. However, tight seating and cramped quarters combined with inconsistent service warmth prevent a higher grade; the experience feels functional rather than welcoming.
Restaurant Summary
In the maze of Chora, Sakis hums with fast-and-furious energy: counter orders barked out, trays flying, and pita gyros the size of your head. Diners praise the speed and value, one noting, "They moved like a pit crew and still nailed the flavor." Seating is tight and turnover brisk, but the location is right in the action. The cooking sticks to classic Greek street food: pork and chicken spinning on the spit, fries tucked into warm pita, tangy tzatziki, and hearty share plates. It suits travelers craving straightforward, satisfying bites over frills. Portions are big, prices kind for Mykonos, and the kitchen keeps it moving even at peak. Families will find kid-pleasing options like pita gyros (€8), fries (€5), and a simple burger plate (€16). Space is cramped and lines form, so avoid peak times with strollers. No formal kids menu, but the mains are familiar enough for most children.
