Commonly used on a skewer, it is a popular beef dish Souvla on the Greek island of Cyprus. The Greek word for โcrookedโ is also used in Greek cuisine, from which it derives its name. One of them is the souvlaki, which is usually smaller in size than the Cypriot cuisine for gyros. Both dishes are cooked the same way. This traditional dish, which is made up of very huge pieces of meat and no other substantial components, is frequently prepared on a charcoal barbecue to get its distinctive flavor. Spit roasters, which are specially designed grills, are used to prepare this cuisine. These contain a rotating mechanism that spins the skewer around the grill to ensure that the meat is cooked evenly.
