| - I can not say enough good things about this place. I come from Denver and anyone who has ever been in the vicinity of the Denver Zoo is familiar with Pete's Kitchen. Hands down the best greek food I have ever put in my mouth. That is to say until George came into my life.
Walking into this place the vibe is laid back and relaxed. The staff is super friendly and it is very clean. I always order the same thing when trying a new Greek place for the first time. I do this because there are certain elements that need to come correct in order to maintain my loyalty. As I have stated in previous reviews I am a one dish wonder. I don't crave restaurants, I crave specific flavors, specific dishes. If I'm eating Greek I want Dolmas and a gyro platter. Occasionally I branch out and have chicken with my gyro, but gyro is going into this mouth!!! I don't know how he does it, but somehow George manages to infuse the luscious flavor of butter into his Gyro meat. A+ off the bat. Another reason I get the platter is because it comes with a Greek salad, now I'm no health nut, but the combination of pepperoncinis, feta cheese and tangy over the top herbal dressing is necessary to cut through The richness of the gyro meat. George offers a choice of rice or French Fries (I'm a sucker for fries, so I have no opinion about the rice other then it looks to be fragrant with saffron and fluffy). The Tzatziki sauce is on point. It's rich, creamy and has texture. This sauce could never be confused with ranch like it is in so many other disappointing places I have come across since Rotana's closed it's doors. And, now onto the Dolmas. I understand that stuffed grape leaves may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I crave them in my sleep. These are tender of leaf, but the rice has nice texture, not mushy or crumbly. The notes of lemon and dill are perfectly complimented by the tang of the grape leaves and the salt balance is perfect. What I love about Dolmas is the versatility. They are equally delicious dipped in creamy tzatziki as in tangy Greek dressing. Even naked they are addictive. The only complaint I could possibly have is not so much a complaint as a compliment. The chicken is tender and juicy, though cut a bit thin. The only real problem with the chicken is it's not gyro. George has hammered the gyro home so hard with thin sliced red onion and caramelized perfection no chicken would stand a chance!!! Needless to say, I'm hooked, and the table by the fountain drinks is going to be my Gyro sanctuary.
