I moved to Vegas from Detroit about seven years ago, and one of the few things I miss is really good Greek and Mediterranean food. I've tired just about every Greek place I can find in this city, but I've been totally spoiled by Greektown and Dearborn's fantastic authentic Mediterranean cuisine. Everything I've found up to this point has ranged from "meh" to outright inedible.
Baladie Cafe, however, is the first (and only) place I've found in Vegas that really feels like a taste of home. The owners are very friendly, and it's got that great "hole-in-the wall" vibe that makes it feel like a real hidden gem.
Their gyro meat is spectacularly seasoned, and I'm convinced that they're the only people within 300 miles that understand that "spanakopita" is not the Greek word for "cheap dog food." Best of all, their prices are so reasonable that Baladie Cafe doesn't need to be a rare treat. This is one lunch spot I'll be visiting a lot from now on.
