I'm half Greek and therefore I have a natural need for pita and gyros. Now I haven't eaten meat in half a decade and I thought I just had to live with the fact that some Greek delicacies are off my menu for good. I had tried Greek style substitutes here and there but it was always disappointing, until today. Today I got the souvlaki in pita from Herbivores.
Let's start with the pita bread. It's like real pita bread! Sounds silly but do you know how many restaurants get that wrong? The souvlaki pieces absolutely amazed me. It really looks, tastes, and feels like meat. Then there's plenty of onions, tomatoes, and a white sauce that all go together beautifully. In Greece they put fries inside the pita as well. Maybe that's an idea for you, Herbivores?
I took my food to take away. The seating by the front windows and the general atmosphere of the store didn't make me feel like staying inside, especially when it's sunny out. I know Herbivores is still a young business. They're probably working on it and will hopefully find a way to make it a bit more friendly inside the shop.
