| - What can I say... food from The Great Greek is made with love and that's the not so secret ingredient!!!
First off, this place takes care!!! The food that they serve is definitely a reflection of the quality of produce and products used! This is an important element that differentiates their food from surrounding competitors, and it's a difference you can really taste. Moreover, the food here is extremely affordable and definitely worth the price mark, add ons and all!
I'm always open to new food but when trying a new Greek restaurant I always take it back to basics. Hummus and tzatzki with pita bread are ALWAYS a must for me so I was delighted with the fact that I had found a place who knew what they were doing. The texture and seasoning was on point and I love the accompanying pita bread!! It was thin, soft, warm and didn't overpower any of the dipping sauces. In other words, it was not overly thick and hard.
Do try a little combo of the different appetizers such as the hummus, tzatzki, dolmades, pita bread!! It's a wonderful selection of the most popular Greek comforts. Those little dolmades were fresh, flavorful and stuffed just right. Please... Do yourself a favor and get an order of the Great Greek feta fries. Damn!! This dish really won me over cause i'm a sucker for fries and this little twist was such a nice palate pleaser! Amazing!! Can't stop thinking about them! Gyros are tricky ordering for me because others i've tried either had too much of something, or too little. The Great Greek's gyro was huge and each ingredient it was stuffed with did not outshine another; it was the perfect amount of everything. Presentation is simple and to the point but also exhibits a hidden wow factor that I like.
The restaurant itself is extremely inviting and exudes a very "my house is your house" type of feeling! Being that it is a family affair, there are no inconsistencies when it comes to service!!! This is what I love about gems like these... It doesn't have that "chain restaurant" feeling... and that brings me back to the not so secret ingredient: love, love, love!!! You can tell that you matter as soon as you step in cause you're always greeted with a smile and a welcoming hello!
Anyway... Go ahead and give The Great Greek a try for yourself. You'll see just what I'm talking about once you take your first bite. I highly recommend! *love*
