| - Efharisto Plaka!!
I had dinner here with a guest last night - our first visit - this little gem was recommended by a friend.
Located in a mini mall, the restaurant is small, maybe seating 50 people.
Blue & White, kind of kitschy decor (it's a good thing I like kitsch :)) - It's typically Greek with warm lighting and upbeat contemporary Greek music playing throughout.
I was surprised to see only three other tables in the room, as a cheery man named Yanni showed us to a table.
We had the main course platter for two, couldn't believe it was only $50!
The Calamari was delicious and the perfect texture, our Souvlaki was also very nice; tender and seasoned well. The platter came with a huge portion of Spanakopita (my fave) which was perfect. Fresh & flavourful cheese, nice & hot, with crispy pastry. Droooool :))
Last but not least, the Moussaka - Spiced Beef, Fresh Vegetables (aubergine/egg plant, zucchini/courgette, potato) and the yummiest béchamel style topping. TO DIE FOR.
The last time I had such a delicious meal of this style, was in Greece on the island of Rhodes (Rodos) in 2001. Yanni was thrilled when we told him this, and made us promise to return...
Authentic service, delicious food, VERY good prices. We will most definitely return, Yanni! Opa!
