Kavalaris’ Corner offers a menu of Greek small plates and grilled items meant for sharing and pairing with drinks. One of my favorite dishes was the Koukouvagia Salad, made of a dry Cretan rusk topped with tomatoes, feta cheese mousse, olives, and capers. My favorite part was the creamy feta cheese mousse, which paired nicely with the moistened rusk and tomatoes. From the selection of dips, the Favosalata was made of yellow split peas puréed with garlic and topped with capers, spring onions, and olive oil. The Grilled Smoked Mackerel was an oily, meaty, and very salty mackerel fillet served with red onions and lemon. Finally, we had the Pork Kontosouvli, which was perhaps the best value dish. This came with huge chunks of juicy marinaded pork grilled on a skewer and served with fried potatoes, pita, raw tomatoes/onions, and a garlicky tzatziki. The meat was flavorful, nicely grilled, and paired well with the other components of the plate. Overall, the food here was tasty and affordable though on the salty side—no wonder that the drinks were plentiful too!
