I've been looking for the best food in the city of Orlando, pretty much for the past seven years of my life. Rumor had it that some of the best Greek food in the city was at this cozy little Greek Corner. So I had to check to see if these rumors were true or unsubstantiated.
Parking was a little sparse. I recommend just getting the nearest parallel street parking spot. Just walk. You could use the cardio. We got there Just in time. The space is pretty small as it is, and the lunch rush rushed in right after we got there. We got seated immediately and before we even got drinks there was a line out the door. Close call.
Our server was very nice, but very overworked. It was slow going, but hey, it's a pandemic, and we didn't have anything better to do anyway. We ordered drinks and buckled in for the ride.
We started off with a classic app of the Spanakopita (A combination of spinach, feta cheese, & fresh herbs in flaky phyllo dough). These were very good! The crispy of the phyllo literally cannot be replicated with any other kind of dough. And the ooey gooey cheese with the freshness of the spinach inside. Man, I could eat this with every meal of the day.
Our first entrée was another classic, the Moussaka (Homemade) (Alternate layers of minced beef, roasted eggplant and potato topped with a Bechamel sauce). This was very good, too. A massive serving of the stuff plopped on your plate. It'll never win a beauty contest, but it did win best surprise of the day for me. I haven't had moussaka this good since I was in Tarpon Springs. Recommend.
Our Side Greek Salad never came, so when we asked about it, they instead brought out a whole Greek Salad (Fresh garden greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, olives, and feta cheese topped with house dressing). It was giant. But it was good. Crisp greens, plump tomatoes, a tangyyy dressing, and all that feta. I got too full on this while we were waiting on our final entrée. Oops.
I never go to a new Greek place without trying the Gyro Sandwich (A mixture of ground beef and lamb, combined with herbs accompanied by fresh tomatoes, onions and tzatziki sauce, wrapped in grilled pita bread). I didn't get a pic, because I was so tantalized I just tore into it like I was a grizzly bear.
But this thing was stuffed to the brim, like a good gyro should be. Meat, meat, meat. Those plump tomatoes, really bite-y onions, and a fine slathering of sauce. Fun, traditional, delicious. The pinnacle of gyro making isn't to make it better than another one, but to just make it perfectly. Achieved here.
Oh, and the French fries were those really thick ones with the smooth outsides and the almost-melty potato-ness on the inside. If you know, you know.
Overall, yes, this was easily a five star meal. Service was unapologetically slow, so if you'd get butt hurt about that, don't bother, but if you're cool, come here and enjoy.
