| - It Really Is The Great Greek
My husband surprised me one day when he said he wanted Greek food. I couldn't argue with him cause the idea sounded great to me! When we arrived at The Great Greek the little restaurant was very clean, inviting and the help was exceptional!! The place was a little busy but nothing to extreme.
We ordered some Dolmades (grape leaves stuffed with seasoned rice and fresh herbs). These dolmades are some of the best around. The grape leaves were fresh, with a little crisp to them. The rice and herbs were well balanced. They came cold, even tho I prefer mine a little warm, but after a few minutes they were gone so it didn't matter! We also got a side of Hummus (garbanzo beans crushed with garlic, lemon juice and some olive oil). It wasn't bad but I've had better. For the meal we got a Falafel Pita (stuffed with falafel, hummus, lettuce, red onions, tomatoes and mint yogurt sauce, served with a side Greek salad) and a Gyro Plate (tender slices of Gyro with tzaziki sauce, pita, rice pilaf and a side Greek Salad). The Falafel was so soft and done perfect! I couldn't have wanted a better falafel! The combination of the falafel and all the other ingredients made for a healthy satisfying meal. My husband said the Gyro plate was really good as well. The meat was seasoned well! Although, I didn't try the meat, the rice was very tasty! To finish up the meal we got some Baklava (layers of filo dough, walnuts and cinnamon with honey). Seriously, the best baklava I have ever had...in my life!!! I would be very disappointed if I found out that they didn't make this in house. I've had plenty of homemade baklava, which has been very good, but this one tops them all! Overall the food was amazing, fresh and made to order! We have since been back and we will continue to go. So, if you want some great Greek food, head over to The Great Greek!!! You won't be disappointed!
