Holy Hera!!! What a meal! I wasn't sure what to expect when I ventured into Main St Greek last week but the end result was absolutely worthy of the gods! Truth be told there are a lot of would-be greek restaurants in the 905 (cough cough... Mr. Greek) who are Greek only in branding but the food and experience fall flat. Having visited the islands of Greece as well as Athens, I can safely say I'm confident I can spot the real deal from afar.
Main St Greek is as real as they get. From the simple design of the business, which reminds me of many restaurants I visited around Athens, to the hearty delicious portions to the staff who, after speaking with them I came to realise are ACTUALLY from Greece, and not just anywhere in Greece... Rhodes!!!
We were just stopping in for lunch and while it's not as fancy as some downtown spots they're focused on executing the classic on a high level. We went for the Gyros (Yee-ros) me the pork, she the chicken and shared a Greek Salad.
Meals came quick and man was they ever massive and authentic. Unlike many greek restaurants, the Gyros was actually shaved/chopped meat was taken right off the spit (instead of little thin slices) the pork had excellent crackling on it and was so juicy. The meat was loaded into the pita heavy and topped with my choices of toppings. The real authentic piece that sold me on the Gyros pita was seeing french fries mixed into the gyro and topping. Sounds weird but that's how they do it in Greece folks - and it's excellent.
Salad and Tzatziki were also very well done. I really enjoyed my experience here at Main St Greek and I cannot wait to come back again soon to try out more of their menu
Efcharistó (thank you)
Eatcrest OUT!
