| - restaurant.com - bought a $25 gift certificate on sale for about $3.80....so I knew going in that I would be saving about $22. If you do have the restaurant.com coupon, there is a minimum you have to spend of $35 and that only applies to food. We found the best deal to be the MEAT LOVER'S PLATTER aka "A SYMPOSIUM OF ECSTASY". It was $18 per person so it came out almost perfectly to $36.
The platter comes with chicken, pork, and beef souvlaki, mousaka, pastitsio & tzatziki, served with Greek salad for two, rice & roasted lemon potatoes.. And believe me when I say this is a HUGE platter. My gf and I finished about half of the platter and we were still sent home with 3 boxes of leftovers.
Since we don't eat pork, they were happy to substitute the pork for more gyro. The greek salad was a nice way to start of the meal, it was a moderately sized portion that whet your appetite and was full of crisp tomatoes and bitter olives. The gyro had to definitely be the highlight of the meat platter. It was tender, soft, flavorful and completely sent me into hibernation with the tzatziki sauce. The chicken was pretty decent also, could have been a little more moist.
The lemon potatoes were more filler than flavor. And I guess I'm not a mousaka or pastitsio fan....they must be an acquired taste but the consistency was borderline human flesh (based on assumptions) and tasted soggy blandish. I would have been happy only eating the meat portion of the platter.
The service was around average. It wasn't particularly busy this night, but I only had my water refilled once and we had finished eating for about 10 minutes before we could get a hold of ANY waiter. That being said, the waiter was still extremely friendly and helpful - just slow and inattentive.
Overall, I would only eat here again for the gyro's.
