stopped by for a dinner saturday night - we were able to snag a table right away (albeit we were a part of 6 sitting for a table for 4, but beggars can't be choosers!) I've been to Greece once and to this day i'm still dreaming about the 2 euro gyros and cafes. Saw they had a "frappe" on the menu so I had to get and my partner got a EspresZO Martini - which was similar in a way to the frappe...but with alcohol ;)
So my party went a little crazy with the apps (*by my party, I mean I went a little crazy ordering the apps):
- Spread Sampler: comes in a little tray of all their 3 spreads, the pita that came with it was gone in seconds, but the spreads were delicious add ons for when we had our gyros
- Chargrilled Octopus: 100% the table's favorite, the flavor simply came from a squeeze of lemon, olive oil, and some capers but it was so good! Perfectly cooked (no chewy/tough nonsense!)
- Spanakopita: super flaky (as it should be), with the spinach feta filling piping hot, delicious.
For our main (although at this point we were kinda stuffed, and most of it got packed for take home):
- Gyros: we got both the pork and chicken. Coming from NYC the food portions are a bit smaller and cost a bit more, so I was surprised to see how JAM PACKED these gyros are with meat. The pork was fine, but the chicken gyro was sahara desert DRY. see this is where having the extra spread comes in handy which was able to revive the chicken a bit.
- Mozzerella Tomato Basil Pita Wrap: A yummy vegetarian alternative, basically a caprese salad in a pita wrap but I was able to try a couple of bites and it was deliciously light and refreshing compared to the meat wraps.
Oh and we got dessert (we BARELY were able to finish): Baklava cheesecake. We just had to. It was calling our names. The thick "crust" was made of nutty baklava and the cheesecake tasted lightly of cinnamon.
All in all - decent greek spot, delicious appetizers/spreads, pork gyro over chicken gyro (very dry), and end your meal with some Greek coffee and baklava cheesecake!!
