| - Great place for Greek food.
I'm particularly fond of their octopus and their gyros pizza, but their salads, Greek fries, and most of their appetizers are all good too. A meal for 4 people here is something like $50, I've come here and its been $16 to stuff 2 people!
The tzatziki is good, but I'm not a fan of the gyros, Louis meat market (right next door, to the east) is infinitely better, and slightly cheaper. However messini is an actual restaurant where Louis meat market is a butcher shop with a few tables. something about the gyros here taste funny although the gyros meat is the real stacked meat here (I can't stand that gyros sausage bullshit)
their pita is also slightly disappointing, you get very little bread when you order the pita, but I LOVE the mashed olives it comes with, see the little black sauce in the picture.
The atmosphere is nice in messini, if a little crowded, I've come here at 3 pm on a Monday and the line has still been out the door. Don't even think about it on a Saturday night or something. They're open fairly late too. Most of the time I don't even bother because there are so many other places to get food without waiting 30 minutes.
a great place, but please don't come here, it's already too crowded ;)
