. . . "I went to Greece for an hour this weekend and came back!!\n\nMind you we went at around 12:30AM.. A friend of ours who is also Greek said I'm going to take you guys somewhere.... and if you can get passed the stare downs from the men, and the decor then you're ok. It turned out EXACTLY what he described but we didn't care we came to have some Greek Food .. I was waiting to get my hands on some saganaki and lamb.\n\nUpon arrival we were greeted like family, said hi to the pleasant owner who for some reason I just wanted to call him uncle... right off the bat I was liking this place even before sitting down.\n \nAttention all newbies to Athen's... if you're waiting for a menu to be presented to you don't really bother, I mean you can ask for one (I think) but what's the fun in that when you can go straight to the back and chit chat with the kitchen staff and the chef, you get to order straight to him!!! I thought that was awesome!.... as soon as we saw our friend walk to the kitchen we followed.. they spoke in Greek and we just stood there mesmerized and excited. \n\nHERE WE GO!!!! OPA!\n\nWe all shared the dishes that were ordered for 4 people\n\nFirst dish- The Saganaki- Delicious simply delicious- I Don't know if you could really mess up flaming cheese.\n\nThe Greek Village salad- I LOVED- Fresh ripe tomatoes with cucumbers, homemade feta, Greek oregano, onions and Greek olive oil... unlike any other Greek village salad, I especially enjoyed the veggies all being at semi room temp so you could really get the full taste of salad.. I personally hate super cold tomatoes or cucumbers in salads... find it takes the taste of the actual vegetable.\n\nSliced deep fried Zucchini and potatoes- sliced thin coated with a bit of seasoned batter... the zucchini is a must try... a bit oily but it's really good..\n\nand finally.........\n\nThe Lambchops- Succulent pieces of chop grilled and perfectly seasoned, each piece was juicy and full of meat..\n\nWhile we all enjoyed our delicious dishes... Fine Greek tunes played in the background and you would hear the opa's and the finger snaps... Made the meal and experience super fun.\n\nThe food comes in big portions so they're all great for sharing- we each had 3 pieces of lamb and still with all the things we had in between I think 3-4 were left to take home.\n\nWill definitely be back and next time I'll take pictures before devouring the whole thing."^^ .
