| - Two words: Lamb chops! We tried this restaurant for carryout because I had a coupon and it was not too far from the groomer where we would be picking up the dog. Serendipity!
The aroma from the carryout bag had both my dog and me ravenous by the time we got home. Opened the box and saw lamb chops with perfect grill marks fanned across yellow rice studded with veggies. Just had to pick one up lollipop style and take a bite-- tender, perfect medium rare, and flecked with an herb mix that enhanced the meat and gave it just a hint of heat. Don't miss the garlic yogurt butter spread-- nice addition to rice. The bright, citrusy dressed salad of tomatoes, cucumbers, feta and mint added a summery balance. We even opted to open a nice bottle of red, given the entree quality! Later, yummy homemade baklava provided a perfect end to the meal. At $20 (inc tip) for one generous entree and dessert, shareable by two with modest appetites, or as dinner for one with enough leftovers for next day lunch, a very good value!
Carryout service was swift and friendly. I was even offered a beverage while I waited.
Interior is simple--think fast casual-- and it has several big tables where groups or families would feel welcome.
Worth the 20 minute drive from my house for a return visit-- even if the dog isn't at the groomers nearby! In fact, planning in being a regular and want to try other offerings--IF we can ever pass up those yummy lamb chops!
