| - Fairly new restaurant with bold flavors, but little clientele. Hopefully this place can stay around long enough to make a name for itself and win over the locals. If walking by it is hard to tell at first if this place is legit, and actually open. Their sign is fairly small (a street sign out front), and apart from the Greek flag blue paint, there is nothing to identify this place as a restaurant.
That said - the owner is super friendly and happy to talk with those who enter his shop. When my boyfriend and I went, we thought him to be a customer as he was sitting outside drinking coffee and doing a crossword puzzle. But as soon as we went inside, he jumped up to introduce himself, and his food.
The food is great. They make everything fresh, from scratch (including their pita), and use local resources. They indicate this, and warn that they can run out of items on their menu.
I order the lamb/beef Kebap, and it was amazing. The meat was juicy and tender, and cooked just right. It was not over done (if you don't like pink meat, you will need to specify). It was served in the wrap with veggies and pine nuts which added a nice contrast in flavor and texture. My boyfriend ordered the roast pork wrap with potatoes and feta. Again the meat was tender and succulent. By the end of the meal we both had juices running down our hands.
In addition to our wraps we ordered a serving of the slaw. We were pleasantly surprised by its contents: vegetables, sesame seeds, a light dressing, and dried cranberries. The slaw was brightly colored, and fresh, the veggies had the perfect crunch.
If I lived near College Street, this place could easily become a favorite go to place. Cheap prices for the quality and quantity. You wont leave hungry.
