Spice level warning — Souvlaki is not what I expected

I underestimated Souvlaki. The herbal and aromatic description didn't prepare me for the reality. lemon juice brings a heat or pungency that builds steadily rather than hitting upfront. By halfway through I was sweating but couldn't stop eating.

Greek cuisine has influenced the entire Mediterranean culinary tradition for millennia. The a family Sunday meal setting means locals eat this with ease while visitors like me reach for water. cold Fix lager cut through it better than water would have. Don't order the mild version out of caution — the full version is the point. I'd go back. Three stars only because I wasn't warned.
