| - For our first trip into this University area eatery my Wife and i tried appetizer Spinach Pie. We then moved on to Pasticcio (Greek Lasagna) and a Pork Souvlaki plate. Topped off with big cups of "Tropical Passion" Iced Tea.
The spinach pie was a good sized portion for an appetizer. It was warm, very crispy pastry and a nice spinach mixture layered within. I tasted the spinach, a hefty cheese, and maybe even some nutmeg. I liked the taste.
My Wife's Pasticcio was served in an rectangular aluminum baking tin. It was browned nicely on top. Breaking in to the concoction she found it hot and bubbly, a lot of ground beef, a heavy béchamel sauce, layered with pasta. The smell was wonderful. Her comment, "I am going to be so full when I am done with this".
My Souvlaki plate was hot, loaded with a nice bed of white rice, two skewers of grilled pork, Hummus, Israeli Salad, and two pitas cut in half. There were five thick, well grilled, and juicy pieces of pork on each skewer. The Israeli Salad was a chopped mixture of cucumber, tomato and onion. It was spiced well so there was a bit of a background "nip". The Hummus was thick and flavorful. it was just as I like it. I can see myself with a load of bagel chips and a bowl of it while watching TV.
OK, 1/2 a pita folded, a good spoonful of some very good Tzatziki sauce, a spoonful of Israeli Salad, and two or three pieces of pork. Wrap it all together and open wide to enjoy these absolutely wonderful mixing of flavors. I was in love with a food again.
By the way. the Tzatziki was filled with chopped onion and cucumber in a thick Greek Yogurt. This was the real crowning touch to these little sandwich rolls I made.
The prices here are really reasonable. Expect to see a lot of College students. I would expect that this is a real good stop for them. Hearty food, Great Taste, and well within the College Student price line.
They have a great assortment of very interesting off brand beers. I watched a couple guys drinking a real nice looking dark beer. I think that a cold beer may be in the order when we show up here again, soon.
