What I Ordered
Greek Pikilia Platter I
$13.50
The Greek platter includes spanakopita, two dolmades, hummus, tzatziki, pita bread, and a salad of tomato, cucumber, onion, feta, pepperoncini, and olives. This meal is like an appetizer sampler. It was a large serving and it’s delicious and flavorful. This meal satisfies that part of us that likes to snack with several different dips and dippers. The spanakopita, fried phyllo dough stuffed with feta and spinach, was very large and needed cut into pieces but it was nice and crisp and paired nicely with the tzatziki and feta. The dolmades, grape leaves stuffed with seasoned rice, were pleasant and tangy. I really enjoyed the red pepper hummus that was packed with flavor and paired nicely with the salad and pita bread. Overall, a great meal!
Lamb Gyro & Greek Fries
$12
The lamb gyro consists of spiced lamb, lettuce, tomato, onion, and tzatziki wrapped in pita bread. You can add fries for $2 so I opted for a side of Greek fries. The Greek fries were a large serving of fries with diced tomatoes and feta on top. This meal was hearty and packed with flavor. The flavor combination is wonderful between savory meat and the tang and acidity of the veggies and feta. I would recommend ordering this dine in, not to-go. I tried this meal to-go and the fresh diced tomatoes made the fries and pita get soggy quite quickly. It would have much better texture when fist prepared.
