| - This place has been sitting on this corner for ages, in fact as far back as I can remember and incredibly enough, I only got the chance to try it out for the first time yesterday.
This is not a fancy-bones Greek souvlaki establishment. In fact, if you were to go to Greece, most of the best souvlaki joints are usually hole-in-the wall establishments serving up amazing take-out. If it's fancy, that's usually not a good sign.
While small, this place is very clean and judging from the conversations around me, many of the folks inside were regulars. Service was friendly and you can't beat the price for what you get. I ordered up a souvlaki plate and it came with two sticks, two pieces of garlic bread, a Greek salad full of chunky cut cucumbers, tomatoes, sweet onions, black olives and a slab of feta and probably the most amazing thick-cut, traditional Greek Fries (yes, Greek Fries as opposed to French Fries) I've had in quite a while. I really don't understand how the Greeks do it: taking simple, peasant food, with very few ingredients and elevating it to tasty, zesty goodness.
Ask for the hot sauce, it's particularly amazing on the fries!
