| - I'd say I'm more than well versed in Americanized Greek food, and Kyklos does a great job of serving up Greek food for the American palate.
Went in here last night after going with my sister to get her ears pierced for her 5th birthday (2/14/11) My parents, the fast food connoisseurs that they are made a beeline for McDonald's and Panda Express. Disgusting. I, as is my custom, made a beeline for the Greek food. If there's a Greek dining option, I'm all over it, even if it's a mall Greek place.
One of the guys behind the counter offered me a chicken sample. Not bad. I was very surprised when I was told that the dolmades (stuffed grape leaves) were filled with lamb rather than simply rice. That's great because I've had some expensive rice-only dolmades in Henderson that weren't worth the money whatsoever and it's rare to find a place that actually serves them with meat.
There were lots of options to choose from, and I liked that in addition to baklava, they served melomakarona (honey and walnut cookies) and kourambiedes (powder sugar dusted shortbread cookies.) It's nice to see a variety in Greek food offered over here, you know, something other than a Kronos gyro, steak fries and syrupy baklava that's been sitting in a display case way too long.
I settled on the Greek salad and the avgolemono (egg /lemon /rice) soup with pita bread. It wasn't your run of the mill iceberg lettuce salad with a tomato slice, a crumble of feta and a few slices of cucumber, no, it had pickled beets (!!!) kalamata olives (watch for pits) pepperoncini peppers, a pink-ish dressing, along with romaine, purple cabbage, tomatoes and feta. It was really good.
The soup was tasty, but I would prefer if it had been slightly more tangy. It's a preference though because I love sour /tangy foods. For example, I drink apple cider vinegar every day so... yeah, don't mind me. The pita bread, which I usually throw out, was given to me at no extra charge (thanks!) and was wonderful. Awesome. Oh, and one more thing, your meal comes with a bit of "wisdom" on a little business card. It's a cute and creative touch.
The food was good and the service was equally great. Both guys behind the counters were personable, asking me if I had eaten there, where I was from, do I go to the Greek festivals, etc. etc. etc. Afterward, when I came to refill my water on the way out, the cashier followed up with me to make sure everything tasted right. I've never had anybody follow up with me at a food court before, so yeah, service was friendly and great.
Just like the name says, "(Yelp doesn't recognize Greek characters)," ( which means: a circle, a cycle.) from start to finish, Kyklos goes full circle in delivering great food and service to their customer. I'd definitely go back here and recommend others give this place a try.
