Psito

Decent, but the food at Psito could use more seasoning - Review - Atlanta - The Infatuation

"Sure, Psito is the best spot in Summerhill to grab gyros, but that’s because it’s the only place in the neighborhood serving them. The small order counter hasn’t changed much from its Hot Dog Pete days beyond a new coat of paint. The breezy patio is still the main attraction here, but now, that's more so because the food doesn't do much to steal that spotlight. If you are here, opt for the pita sandwich with shredded braised lamb. The meat drips with juices, and there's a subtle sweetness that meshes well with the juicy tomatoes. Skip the bland chicken that’s so dry it’s borderline jerky. Rice bowls suffer from a lack of seasoning too, so order the creamy tzatziki spread and use it liberally to give your bowl a boost. While we'd prefer to taste proteins with a few more herbs or at the very least, salt, Psito is still adequate for a quick lunch in a pinch. And you can end the meal with a cup of frozen yogurt that they make in-house. Food Rundown Chicken Sandwich The pita isn’t as fluffy as we’d like it to be, but it’s the best part of the gyro (that should tell you something). The chicken is dryer than a neglected house plant, but it's workable when drenched in tzatziki. photo credit: Juli Horsford Lamb Sandwich This is the same sandwich as above, but we like it with the lamb, which adds a nice sweetness that meshes well with the tomatoes and onions. It’s incredibly juicy so grab extra napkins, but don't get too hyped—it's still just an OK option. photo credit: Juli Horsford Psito Bowl Somehow this bowl manages to have nine ingredients that combine to form zero flavors. Load up on the salty olives and tangy pickled red onions because the freekeh tabbouleh base and egg halves don’t bring anything to the table. Greek Fries There’s really nothing Greek about these, but the fries themselves are crispy and good. They come with some parsley and parmesan, which seems like a missed opportunity to utilize feta instead." - Juli Horsford
