| - I've been wanting to try Messini for a while, but I HATE lineups and I always see one outside of Messini and thus am often deterred. I wonder if the guy with the restaurant directly next door with the exact same fare cries himself to sleep at night because he doesn't have lineups nearly as long (or loud).
And you know what, it was just ok. A little too much cheese if you ask me. And a little too much carbs. That's not a sentence.
They put fries on everything, which I thought was an American-specific cuisine highlight, but apparently the Greeks enjoy gratuitous fat too.
I had the Greek salad, which was like 75% cheese, 10% vegetables and 10% other. It was delicious and no, I was not complaining about paying a rock-bottom price for so much delicious and possibly imported feta (chic, chic).
But then I made the admitted mistake of ordering the feta fries. It's like a poutine (Jesus, how many poutines can one relatively fit person eat before they settle somewhere on your ass....I'm waiting for it....I'm waiting) but covered in feta cheese and herbs and dressing. Very good.
My husband had the chicken pita, which I also ate parts of, which was also delicious. But yeah, just a bit too much cheese methinks.
What I don't understand are the inexplicable lineups. Namely because there are a shit-ton of other gyro places, including the one right next door, and because from what I can tell, these gyros don't beat the shit out of the other gyros. So what gives? Still good though. And cheap.
