| - In Indian Trail for a basketball tournament, I quick checked Yelp for nearby good restaurants and picked this unpretentious little Greek restaurant for dinner just one short mile away. Since we're down here most weekends I consider this a great new find!
First, this place is ridiculously affordable. My dinner was $7.95! Second it's got an overall 4.5 star rating for good reason. Third, our server Quinn was a delight. Helpful throughout, he was pleased to give recommendations when I accepted his offer (who else knows the food as well as the employees?)
I went with his favorite, the Athens Gyro Platter which was gyro (lamb, I'd imagine) meat on a pita with a side of delicious tzatziki, Greek salad and my choice of side. Quinn had mentioned earlier that the fries were seasoned with the same Greek seasonings as the wings so I tried them... yum!!!!! I'd never get plain fries again. $7.95
My husband went with the chicken pita which was grilled chicken, tomatoes, onions, tzatziki and also chose the fries. $6.25
I also ordered the Horiatiki Village Greek Salad as an appetizer to share which is a lettuce-less salad of tomato, cucumber, red onion, green peppers, feta, black olives and three dolmades which are rice-stuffed grape leaves. I've had them before when they are super-piquant and these were happily a little less so which meant my husband enjoyed them also. Plus it came with warm pita triangles which were just yummy. $6.55
We tried the baklava (the only thing I forgot to take a picture of but someone else did) and it was warm!! Absolutely delicious and only $3.25!!!
All the servers checked in on us at least once. Quinn was great. I wish we had this place up at Lake Norman but since we don't I'll have to come back on some future tournament weekends. Two thumbs up!!
