| - After moving to the East Valley from Los Angeles, I spent a good deal of time looking for some good Greek/Mediterranean food. After being disappointed by several restaurants, I found one of the best Mediterranean restaurants, even by LA standards. Please note that I have also been to the other location, I think it's in Tempe and it's not as good...not even close. I always get the Kafta kabob (beef and lamb mixture) skewer plate. The magic really happens when you make good use of sauces...By that, I mean: Taziki, Tahini, Hummus and Garlic sauce. Mix em' up and taste it again for the very first time, for the next several hours...BURRRP! :-) The owner (Silvia) is very outspoken (in a good way) and breathes a lot of life in the ambiance of the restaurant. She also seems to remember her regular customers by name and what they order. The buffet is pretty filling, but if you want those homemade authentic, mediterranen tastes, order a plate off the regular menu, because buffet meatballs (while good), don't quite cut it. I don't usually get too excited about recommending specific restaurants, but trust me, the food at Phoenicia's is just to amazing to pass up and you owe it to yourself to try it at least once!!
