| - Voted #1 Greek Restaurant in Arizona for three years, this is my favorite place to go Greek.
Go to any one of the six locations in the valley, and you will immediately be surrounded by the mediterranean atmosphere of Greece. Wall murals, paintings with the sea beyond, greek music playing, and of course...the food!
Appetizers, and an empty stomach are a must here. The helpings from any order on the menu are enough for two, so I would recommend bringing a group so you can sampe it all!
Start with the Flaming Saganaki, the wonderfully delicious imported greek cheese, flamed at the table with ouzo and metaxa. ($7.95) Follow that by the Fat Greek Dips ($9.95), which is an assortment of all the popular pita dips including various flavors of hummus and baba ganoush.
If you are new to Greek, do the Meat Lovers for all ($16.95), their "symposium of ecstasy." Lamb chops, pork, chicken, beef souvlaki, gyro, mousakam pastitsio, and tzatziki. Ideal for two or more, you can sample a number of well seasoned greek specialties. My favorites are chicken souvlaki and gyro. The souvlaki is very well seasoned and marinated, and grilled on a skewer. The gyro is a combination of beef and lamb, carved off a rotisserie, very flavorful, very rich.
For a lighter appetite, there are five different pitas to choose from (4.95), wraps, and many salads.
Wash it all down with some Greek beer, I like the amber Athena. Should you have room for dessert, try the Flambe Baklava. It is stacked rolls of phillo dough with chocolate and honey, ice cream ball rolled in pistachio, and a shot of flaming bacardi 151....perfect end!
