A Greek fast-food chain has signed a master franchise agreement with Franchise India Brands Limited, becoming the first Greek QSR brand to enter the Indinan market.

The Souvlaki was founded in 2015 by Greek entrepreneurs Valentinos Varelas and Sandy Tsagdi at Kingston Ancient Market and launched its first restaurant in Kingston' Wheatfield Way in 2018.

It now operates 10 outlets across the UK.

Under the agreement, Souvlaki plans to open multiple franchise outlets across major metropolitan and tier-1 cities in India.
