| - Christos is amazing. From the authentic cuisine to the owner with an intriguing life story (go in and talk to him, just a hint, he was a personal chef to someone famous!!!) it's an all around delight. They give you fresh hummus while you peruse the menu. My husband tried the homemade wine (made by the owners father) he loved it. We then shared an order of the lemon potatoes. They are perfectly seasoned and melt in your mouth. So tender yet still perfectly browned.
I had the Pastichio. A beautiful combination of tender ground beef, light tomato sauce, pasta, the perfect spices, and a layer of something cheesy. My husband and I play a game, who ordered best, and I won this round hands down. But not by much. He ordered the Exohiko, or Shepards pie with lamb. The crust was flakey and brown and crunchy, while the inside was saucy, flavorful, and everything you could want.
We finished our dinner with the Onassis Dessert. This fluffy cake drizzled in a sweet sauce topped with a fluffy frosting was the perfect ending to a great dinner.
This was a reasonably priced dinner for the downtown cultural district. Give yourself a little extra time if you're going to a show, but be sure to make this a stop!
