| - Gimme a bucket of tsaziki and slather me up!
I have been absolutely craving Greek food for the past few weeks. Maybe it's the upcoming festival season. Maybe I'm getting tired of of my wife's cooking. Uh, maybe I better shut up. Whatever the impetus, I was determined to give this place a shot.
The lady at the register was really nice, despite having half the dining area overrun by my two monkeys. They don't have kids meals, which posed a bit of a challenge in ordering, so be advised if you do have kids. As a workaround, I decided to order the soulvaki plate with one skewer each of chicken and beef, with rice and a salad (about $11). My wife opted for a gyro pita ($7.50) combo that came with fries (hey, don't judge) and a drink (add $2.50 for the combo). +1 drink for me and our total was just under $25.
The food came out reasonably quick and smelled delicious. The salad was fresh and refreshing, with just enough dressing for taste, not drowning in it. The beef I ordered medium rare and it was cooked perfectly. Some steakhouses can't even get that right! I don't know what kind of beef they use, but it was really tender and the seasoning was pitch perfect. The chicken was also cooked ideally and oozed juices when cut into. Of the two, the chicken was my favorite - whatever is in the marinade makes it sing. The skewers sat on a bed of really tasty rice pilaf that seems to have some tang to it. Add to that some of the best tsaziki sauce I've had and you're in business. I could have slathered everything with it.
The kids were shoveling my rice and took about a third of my meats, so thinking I would be left hungry, I ended up ordering a third soulvaki chicken skewer ($3) and a side of rice ($2.50). Of course, as soon as I paid for the extras, my kids say they're full. Typical. So what's a dad to do except scarf it all down myself?
Unfortunately, I ran out of tsaziki because I shared it (rare for me) with my wife, who, of course, didn't share any of her gyro pita with me. But $0.75 for a side? Yikes! No matter how good it is, I can't justify paying that much for a small container.
The only thing more disappointing than running out of tsaziki was the fries. Yeah, I know, who the heck orders fries at a Greek place? Well, blame it on the kids. Also, the pitas don't taste home made, but that's not a big deal to me, I'm just giving fair warning if that's a must have for you.
Despite the hardships I experienced, I overcame. I used some creative ordering, decided never again to share the most cherished items on my plate and made a note to self to always leave the family at home.
