Nick was particularly “humbled and honoured” to receive the award, recognising Souvlaki Boys had beat many other well established businesses to claim the top prize.

“With all the issues that have gone on with covid this year, just to make it this far along with all the other businesses is again just an honour.”

Nick said he and his brother, Arthur, are simply thankful to get recognition for their business, carrying on the legacy of their father, Greg Alepidis.

“To get recognition like that, especially for my father who’s the one we’re trying to carry the legacy for… To keep doing the work that he’s done over the years, just to live up to that.”

“Also trying to keep all of our customers happy and trying to make the best product we can as well.”

The Souvlaki Boys are joined by a host of Greek businesses who managed to take home awards in Sydney’s Local Business Awards, including Miloway Wines, Trianon Cake Shop and Vicky Zafiropoulos of Hairem Hairdressing.
