| - To be fair, I've been here a few times over the years. In my opinion, they have actually gotten BETTER over time.
We tried several things, and were only dissapointed by the Greek fries. Not much sauce, and the fries themselves were old and hard---icky!!
So, the gyro boat, Very nice! This time the meat was cooked perfectly.
The vegetarian app plate is also pretty fantastic. I love the fact that they don't go salt-crazy here at Phoenicia. Okay, I'm not a huge fan of their hummus, but that doesn't mean it's not good, it's just not fantastic. On the other hand, the Baba Ganouj WAS fantastic.
The lady who served us recommened a lamb / beef burger, so I had that. the meat was lovely and very delicately seasoned. It could have been a bit bigger, but what the heck. I do recommend that they change the bun that goes with it. The bun had a kind of a flaky texture and was almost sweet, and it really didn't work with the burger.
The chicken shwarma salad was beautiful. I'm drooling as I type.
I'm sad that I didn't check in when I went...I could have gotten a free sandwich!
I could say more, but I'm getting hungry.
Update:
I went again with two different people this time. I ordered a pita boat that was a mix of baba gaoouj and tabouli that was so good it made me want to cry. PLEASE TRY IT!! 4.5 stars now!! They still have to lose a half star for those nasty greek fries from before...right?
