My friend and I ate here while on vacation in Phoenix. We absolutely HAD to eat there after the aromas from the restaurant reached us while we were walking by on the street.
We were both offered drinks right away. The waitress was polite and interested. Our food arrived very quickly even though the place was packed with a line around the door on Saturday night.
We had the angus beef kabobs and the braised lamb. The plates were huge and the food was really great. I have eaten really great Greek food in so cal and this place rivals the both street vendors and five star restaurants alike. The beef was so tender and had great flavor, it was served with pita, lemon potatoes that rocked my world, rice and a lemon garlic yogurt sauce. I ate everything on my plate and would have kept on going if it weren't for the dessert, will get the that in a minute though.
My friends lamb was falling apart it was so tender. I wasn't thrilled with the way it looked, but it was braised and not seared so there isn't much to do about that. I am not a big fan of lamb but this lamb was the best I've ever had. No gamey (sp) flavor at all. She had the same sides as I did, but she also ordered a Greek side salad. It was simple and not very big but the flavor was outstanding. Something about the amount of feta and fresh oregano made it unlike any side salad I'd ever had. No cheap ice burg lettuce and bottled ranch here. It could have stood alone as a main course with chicken or beef on top and I would have been a happy camper.
NOW....dessert. Man oh man...Baklava cheesecake with warm honey drizzled all over it. All I can say is that I have searched high an low for a recipe like this ever since I got home. But no luck. There isn't anything out there like this. It was sweet and creamy the warm honey was the perfect pairing for this dessert. I am in California but I would gladly drive all nine hours just to have another slice. SO good.
The prices were a bit higher than we were looking to spend for dinner especially in a college town, but it was worth it. 25 bucks a person including drinks, and dessert of course.
