Spero Patricios, Owner at SouvLucky Greek Kitchen, Parkmore
The Parkmore Community Association (PCA) is delighted to welcome SouvLucky Greek Kitchen as our newest member! We sat down with owner Spero Patricios & Rosemarie Dairopoulos to learn more about his passion for Greek cuisine and his vision for Parkmore.
1. PCA: Welcome to Parkmore! We're so excited to have SouvLucky here. What inspired you to open a Greek restaurant?
Spero/Rose: Being Greek we have been immersed in the world of food for many years—it’s truly in our blood. About 18 months ago, an exciting opportunity arose to open a Greek food outlet at Prison Break Market, and we took it. We wanted to mimic the experience one has in Greece of authentic Greek street food - fast, delicious and on the go.
Then, fate smiled upon us again when a perfect site became available in Parkmore. We saw this as the ideal location to bring our vision to life—a Greek Quick Service Restaurant where quality meets speed.

2. PCA: What makes SouvLucky unique?
Spero/Rose: At SouvLucky, we're not just serving food, we're serving authentic Greek food in a casual environment. Here’s why we stand out:
Authenticity Without Compromise
Our dishes are crafted with love, using recipes passed down through generations. Every bite of our souvlaki, gyros, or zucchini fries tastes like something straight out of our authentic Greek Kitchen- rich, flavourful, and made with care.
Fresh Ingredients, Every Time
Quality starts with what goes into your food. At SouvLucky, we use only the freshest ingredients, sourced locally whenever possible. From juicy marinated meats to crisp vegetables and aromatic herbs, everything is prepared daily to ensure maximum flavour and freshness.
Speed Meets Flavour
In today’s busy world, time is precious. That’s why we’ve designed our menu to deliver satisfying, hearty meals that don’t require hours of preparation. Whether you’re grabbing lunch on the go or looking for a quick dinner option, SouvLucky has you covered—with no sacrifice in taste or quality.

3. PCA: Why did you decide to join the Parkmore Community Association (PCA)?
Spero/Rose: As South African Greeks, community is at the heart of who we are. The saying "It takes a village" resonates deeply with our values.
Greek cuisine reflects our heritage and values, and being part of this community allows us to share that warmth and flavour with others. Beyond serving great food, we’re committed to giving back—whether through sponsoring local events, supporting charitable causes, or nurturing relationships. At SouvLucky, we aim to contribute positively to Parkmore while fostering harmony and shared responsibility, much like the principles of ancient Greek philosophy.

Spero/Rose: SouvLucky Parkmore is a showcase of what’s possible when you blend traditional Greek flavours with modern efficiency. We believe that quick service shouldn’t mean sacrificing quality or authenticity. By combining fresh ingredients, time-honoured recipes, and streamlined processes, we’re demonstrating that it is possible to deliver delicious, wholesome Greek food quickly and affordably.
