| - Another one found on Yelp. It only took me a couple of days to get here after learning about it. I brought my 6-year old new granddaughter (by marriage)--fresh blood! A new person to introduce to exotic foods that is--haha!
I ordered a lamb souvlaki in Pita bread with rice on the side for me, a chicken souvlaki "mini" sandwich with rice for her, a spinach spanikopita just to try, and two desserts. What I got looked like a full dinner plate of three kabobs, one chicken, one lamb and one beef, with the pita bread, diced tomatoes, thin-sliced onions, tzatziki sauce, and rice on the side and she got THREE chicken kabobs with the same side stuff.
Everything was delicious and I'm glad I had the opportunity to try a "combination" of their offerings rather than just one. The chicken was the real winner, charred and moist at the same time with wonderful flavor. The tzatziki sauce wasn't as garlicky as I've had in the past and I missed the stronger flavor. I couldn't really tell which was the beef and which was the lamb. They were both good but not nearly as tender as the chicken.
The rice was good, especially after I squeezed some lemon juice over it. The spanikopita was perfect, a crispy triangle stuffed full of a delicious spinach mixture that reminded me of the homemade ones my Greek next door neighbors use to make back in Michigan.
Both desserts were very good, my melamacarona had the right flavor though not as honey-moist as the best I've had, her baklava, the tiny taste I got, had just the right flavor.
They have a bar area so I would love to go back there for dinner sometime and have a glass of Retsina with my meal. When I asked how long they's been open they said only threee weeks. If they keep up the good service and the great food I think they will be a success.
