| - As a huge fan of Greek food, I am always looking for something authentic, something skin to the Mediterranean Snack Bar where I grew up, burning my little fingers on the hot dish which held my often craved spinach casserole. I sat on tall chairs with my mother, my legs dangling as I looked around at the small restaurant. The meat on a spit, the bright blues and whites of the decor.
The Tempe location of MBFGR gets one more star than the Chandler location, but then my review of the Chandler location was damn near scathing, so that's not saying much.
To make an honest comparison, I ordered the same thing: the chicken souvlaki pita. This time I went with the side salad, which was full of bright colors and fresh looking. The food arrived in good time and the chicken was tasty, if lukewarm. The service was friendly, even if our waitress forgot to bring pitas.
MBFGR just does not come close to my childhood memories, but then that was New York.
I agree with Melissa H. that everyone can find something that they like. The food is so Americanized. At least they could serve it hot.
If anyone has any authentic Greek suggestions...?
