| - Don't understand what all the rave is about.
Came here because it's conveniently located next to my nail place. When I saw there was a Greek food place nearby, I was really excited. I immediately ran to yelp to check out what others thought. I saw things like "delicious" "large portions" and 5 stars so of course I was looking forward to it. It was cute- plain, but Greek-ish style. Light blue with a couple of tables and a couple of small paintings
I ordered two chicken dinners. They have a dinner for two meal which includes two dinners with two sides and two pops for 26$ plus tax.
What I didn't understand was they had dinners or pitas. The dinner want a plate but it was still a pita.. we were more used to a traditional souvlaki dinner. The girl at the front seemed very confused herself and really had trouble explaining what the situation was.
Anyways. Here's the meal breakdown:
The chicken came sliced, more of a filet sliced into cubes rather than souvlaki style. It came in a box with lettuce, tomatoes, tzaziki and onion. Luckily I live close or the lettuce would have been soggy. Didn't understand why they put both meals in one box. TzaZiki was minimal, we actually scrapes the containers to get just barely enough to dip our chicken. Didn't taste much like traditional tzaziki, couldn't compare it to anything else to be honest. The portion size wasn't "large" or "generous" but fair at best. The faux salad had nothing on it, just blan iceberg shredded with some lettuce and onion.
We got the rice and the potatoes as sides. Rice was ok- a little on the salty side, an undertone of chicken broth flavour. The potatoes are where all the salt went. They were so salty we could barely get them down. The containers for the sides were pretty large however. Also came with a grilled cut pita each.
We've been to many authentic Greek places, and this wasn't really comparable to anything we've tried. Pretty blan, no distinct seasoning, no holding back on the salt on the sides though.
Overall nothing to really rave about.
Food 2/5
Service 2/5
Atmosphere 3/5
Prob won't be back and wouldn't really recommend to any friends to try. I really wanted to like this place, all hype but it just didn't deliver.
