Greekfest is the best Greek restaurant in the Metropolitan area of Phoenix, hands down. We've been to them all - and we keep coming back to Greekfest on Camelback. Tony and Sue have been there forever - and there's a reason for that - the food is the best.
By the way - my wife is Greek - related to John Stamos the actor. We have eaten Greek food in Greece including her home town near Argos, and Greekfest is one of the few restaurants we've been to in the US that recreates the atmosphere and flavor of our times there. Some may find the food challenging - but that's because Tony makes it authentic - with sharp garlic tasting Skordalia and other delicacies that taste different from American food. If you know Greek food - you will love Greekfest.
Where does one start when it's all so good? The dips, the octopus, the lamb...all excellent. The mixed dip appetizer is a work of art that includes all your favorites including dolmades to die for. My favorite is the fried smelts - which are cooked to perfection - but they are not available in every season. Everything with lamb is spectacular. The lamb meatballs have an intricate yet overwhelming taste that reminds me of that old saying...there are two kinds of people in the world, Greeks and those who want to be Greek. After tasting the meatballs, the sausage saganaki, the lamb...you'll wish you were Greek, too. Second best is eating at Greekfest Opa! Highly recommended.
