| - I usually go into Crave on the weekends when walking down mill, but for a change, I went on a Wednesday night. They had on the front a Gyro for $5, so I said why not.
The gyro didn't come with any sides, so I ordered a side of Basmati rice as well. When the gyro came out, it looked like a Gyro, but it didn't have any feta on it. So i asked for a side of feta. I got a small 2oz cup of feta of mostly powered-looking feta, which is the bottom of the barrel.
The food was okay. The rice tasted overdone, it was clumpy and starchy like it had been hanging around too long. But the thing that got me, was that the rice that came out was like one little scoop of rice, that I had to pay $2.00 extra for. It just didn't make any sense..it probably couldn't have filled up a little 4 oz cup. Imagine having to buy rice at $4.00 per cup! That would be like $64.00 for a 1 gallon tub of cooked rice.
When the check came the gyro was $5, the scoop of rice was $2, and the feta dust was $2.00, for about an ounce's worth of feta! I don't know where they get their feta from, but I sure hope they're not paying $32.00/lb for the stuff...
If it wasn't "happy hour" i would have had to spend another $2.00 on the Gyro: for $9-$11 for a gyro isn't worth it...at that rate, I might as well go to My Big Fat Greek Restaurant next dook or the Phoenicia Cafe and get a Gyro, fries, and a coke for $7!
I may come back later, but as far as food goes..not anymore.
