| - My first day driving my car in Las Vegas 110 degree heat and within 10 minutes, my AC died on me. I haven't had time to get it repaired, and between training, filling out paper works, and driving all over to get errands done, I was doing the Ace Ventura and driving with my head out the window to get some air!
I ended up going a full 24 hours without eating, being very dehydrated, overheated, and sore from training. Not a good idea in retrospect, but such is life. After finally getting a gallon of water in me, I decided to come here for lunch. I welcomed the cold A/C and was sat down right away. The waiter was quick and to the point, and I get my order in right away.
For starters, I had the falafel, that came out with hummus. First thing I tasted was the hummus, and it wasn't good. It was more pasty than creamy, and a jar of sabra hummus was way better than this, which isn't a good sign. The falafel was also doughy on the inside, and had a weird taste to it. Not horrible, but not good.
Next was a greek salad. This was good. Fresh and seasoned just right away. Was a welcome relief from the starter.
For my main, I had the pomegranate chicken entree. This was good too. The chicken was tender and flavorful. Nothing out of this world, but a good dish for sure. The rice that came with it was also good. The pita and hummus where a miss here too, and I just left them.
Finally, I had the aphrodite cheesecake. The idea of a baklava cheesecake was very intriguing, as I love baklava. Unfortunately, this was not a good rendition. The cheesecake was just a standard, run of the mill cheesecake. The baklava crust left a lot to be desired.
Overall, this was okay. But considering that I was starving, my taste buds should have magnified the flavor significantly. Instead, I was very underwhelmed. I won't be coming back. I may have been spoiled by Cleo, which U know is not a fair comparison to a place like this, but this is just too far below to justify coming.
