| - I went there for lunch for the first time this week. First of all, it's new and the interior is very nice, lots of greens and browns with a open layout and clean look. You order your food from a cashier up front, take a number, sit down and wait for them to bring it to you.
I love Middle Eastern food and was looking forward to checking out Tazikis. The food is...okay. The menu is somewhat limited and uninspired. They have the usual gyros, hummus and pita and chicken-lemon soup, but not much else in the way of Middle Eastern food. Where's the falafel? Where's the tabouleh salad? Where's the shawarma? Where's the baba ganoush?
I ordered a grilled chicken basil gyro with a side of chicken-lemon soup and a "fresh side" of roasted potatoes. They accidentally left the tzatziki sauce off of the gyro. No big deal, but, a little funny given the name of the restaurant. The chicken on the gyro was a little dry and ho hum. The soup had a little too much lemon, but was, otherwise, good.
I also thought it was a bit overpriced. The lunch special for the day was a pasta dish with capers and chicken, but was $10 for a modest lunch portion.
Overall, it was okay, but I'll probably head over to Jasmine Grill on South Blvd, the next time I'm in the mood for Mediterranean food.
