| - This is by FAR, HANDS DOWN the best Greek restaurant in Chandler. The chef is from Cypress, that should tell you something. The ambiance is very romantic, dimly lit with pendant and string lighting at night. Bring your reading glasses if you are over 40 ;)
Get yourself a sitter and go out for a romantic night. This is the perfect neighborhood place for that. High top tables surround the perimeter and a few regular height ones. They play wonderful Greek music too! There is a fairly large patio which I am going to rent out space in come fall.
Now for the food! OMG!! We have been here twice in 2 weeks because we are from Portland and are well, basically, Greek food whores.
We order the platter with all the standard Greek tapas like spanikopita and hummus and then split an entree which is perfect. The platter has Baba Ghanoush , which is the best I have ever had in my life and the Dolmadas well, I felt like I was having sex in public. They are a little different, served hot, in a tomato base sauce that was very dark and Ah-Mazing! My man had the Chicken Souvlaki which he said was fantastic. It came with a side salad and lemon infused potatoes, which I had a bite of, and they were great.
I only have two criticisms and they were not enough to dock any stars just maybe suggestions for the owners.
We are also wine snobs. I know, you didn't see that coming right? Although they had one of my favorite Greek wines Boutari Naoussa (yes, those Greeks make some wonderful dry reds) the serving temp was too high. Even though it is a red, it needs to be a little chilled in the 50-60 degree range. AZ room temps in the summertime can be much hotter than that.
The other wish is that they serve a HUGE bowl tzatiki with the platter. They have it and it is fantastic but you have to order it separately.
This is a moderately priced, romantic place with fabulous food!
