| - Coming to Greektown is always an experience. Straight from the first time we came in and everytime since, its always part spectacle and part amazing food. The place is family run, and the wife is clearly one of the main cooks. She's very quiet and soft spoken compared to her husband and son. The food is some of the most authentic Greek that I have ever tasted, and the family has no issues giving suggestions.
When you are seated, you're served an order of mixed breads which all of them are very yummy, and I would suggest not filling up on them since their meal portions are HUGE. They also offer a wide selection of both imported and domestic beers, liquors, and wines; many of which are actually from Greece. Though I'll warn you against the Ouzo which is a jager/absinthe like spirit served in a shot that can be quite unpleasant for the faint of heart. The Greek lagers on the other hand are quite light and refreshing and pair well with whatever you order.
I go for their gyros, which are by far the hugest and most tasty in town. My boyfriend is addicted to their dolmades, which unlike many dolmades you'll find at other restaurants, are full of meat. And trust me, you may not think you'll be full off just an order of stuffed grape leaves but somehow these things manage to be really filling. Especially if you order the meal, which comes with a soup of the day and a salad, both of which have always been delicious. Though my one gripe is that the olives aren't pitted, so watch out. And the dolmades themselves, apart from being stuffed with meat, are also served in a delicious and delicate sauce that pairs perfectly with the dish.
The place is family run and the owner makes it a point to sit and chat with each table, often times pulling up a chair alongside the table and making sure every meal was exactly to the customers' liking. The place is great for large groups and parties though that does mean it can get pretty loud. Its not uncommon to hear the whole place yell out an "opah!" if anything breaks. It does close down in the afternoon for a few hours before the dinner rush so beware what time you're thinking of trying this place out, but never worry about finding parking as their lot is quite spacious.
And finally, do yourself a favor and get the baklava cheesecake, which is a wonder of engineering apart from being incredibly delicious. If you dont have space in your stomach after gorging on their amazing food, take it to go, and trust me, you will thank me.
