| - I love Greek cuisine but this review is mostly about Greedy Girl's Indian aka Parsi/Bombay offerings.
Greedy Girl offers omelettes, sandwiches, gyros and sides from 6:30am - 3pm and waffles and french toast until 11am. The menu is large and most items can be requested vegetarian or vegan.
This is the only restaurant in Cleveland with Parsi cuisine on its menu and it's the real deal.
So, what is Parsi cuisine? Wiki here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parsi_cuisine
For anyone born and brought up in Bombay, Parsi cuisine is pure nostalgia...buttered brun bread (like that perfect baguette - crisp, thin crust, airy crumb) shared with friends over cups of tea, chicken puffs and masala omelettes wolfed down before an evening showing of the latest blockbuster, standing in line for berry pulao, a Duke's Raspberry...
I could go on...for a long time.
In addition to the Parsi omelette and salli boti, Greedy Girl puts two other much ignored Bombay street foods - the Frankie (a sandwich/wrap made of a paratha, egg, and chicken with onions and spices) and the Bombay sandwich (a grilled/panini veggie sandwich) - on its roster in addition to chaats, samosas and sides.
On our two visits in as many days, we tried the Parsi omelette, chicken and paneer frankies, spanakopita and gyro. GG's frankie is the correct combination of flavor and textures - a paratha that's crisp on the outside with soft egg on the inside, wrapped around moist, tender chicken with a perfectly spiced sauce. The only thing missing is the Tibbs (the inventor of the Frankie)super secret zing - a spicy, tangy taste profile that no one has been able to crack. The Parsi omelette consists of an egg batter with onions, cilantro and spices folded in. It's delicious. The spanakopita had a shattering crisp, buttery shell with a filling heavy on spinach ie just the way I like it! The gyro was very flavorful with plenty of meat and pita that was soft without being doughy or overly thick.
Greedy Girl is Eust Kavouras' labor of love. She's living her dream, cooking up fantastic Greek and Bombay (it IS a cuisine - believe me!) food. Wander over to Greedy Girl and try a cuisine that's hard to find outside of Bombay. Maybe you'll get to chat with Eust and her 93 year old Parsi food guru and experience the passion that led to this little gem. At the very least, you'll 'travel' to Bombay or Greece for under $10.
