| - I grabbed take-out from Stephanos on my way to visit a friend in Anthem this past Monday night. From the look of the place, everyone (dine-in customers included) orders from the counter, which added to the home-cooked flavor of the place.
Based on the menu, I have a hard time understanding why this restaurant bills itself as a "Greek" place because there were so few greek options on the menu! They serve mostly the standard middle eastern fare, which is more than fine by me. The baba ganoush was really good, as were the kofta kebas and chicken shwarma. I was really excited to see kibbi on the menu (can be hard to find in Las Vegas!), but I was pretty disappointed - no meet in the shell, I think it was just bulgar wheat. Maybe it was just some sort of greek kibbi I have never seen before, as it was spelled differently. They offer whole wheat pita, which I thought would be interesting, but we preferred the white.
I live very far away from this location (and not close to the other location either), and it wasn't good enough to warrant a special trip just to eat here. However, I would definitely go back and for those who live nearby, I highly recommend it for weekly middle eastern takeout!
