| - Messini's, in my opinion, is a staple in any Danforth-resident diet. I eat at Messini's at least twice a month and it's never a choice that I regret.
First off, Messini's is located on the Danforth, just outside of Chester Station. It's in a pretty good location and that's probably why it has so much traffic. Second, it's insanely cheap- for A LOT of food. Trust me, I can eat a lot and I'm ALWAYS stuffed after a meal from Messini's.
Whenever I go to Messini's, I always bring someone with me who is down for a pretty big meal themselves. Why? Because Messini's has the best double gyro pita combo. This pretty much consists of 2, yes- count it, TWO, chicken gyro pitas (or any other meat of your choice- I'm just a huge chicken fan), a salad (any person in the right mind gets the Greek salad, and fries (again, any person in the right mind get the Greek fries. Have you ever had a feta cheese coma before? Well, get ready for one.
The gyros are always really good. The pita is warmed up perfectly. I hate when my pitas get a bit toasty and crunchy on the ends and they end up falling apart when they're folded. At Messini's this doesn't happen. It's always heated just to the perfect temp. The fries in the gyros are USUALLY fresh (not always, but usually). I love the generous amount of tzatziki that they put into the pitas and the amount of meat is very substantial as well.
Greek salad is the best thing that ever happened to me- but only when it comes from Messini's. Sooo much feta cheese and the dressing is so simple and yet so good. They drizzle on just the right amount every time and it's definitely big enough to share.
And for the Greek fries. This will be what sets your feta cheese coma into place. Feta cheese just tastes so much better when it's toasted and melted on top of a pile of fries. I'm in heaven whenever I go to Messini's.
Now, if you're wondering why I did all this raving, but they only got a 4, it's because of their level of customer service. It's pretty important to me to have great customer service and this doesn't seem to be consistent. All their servers need to have the same mindset. If this changes, then this 4 will definitely go up to a 5!
