No more Greek for me!!
 
Wife wanted to go on a date last night since we don't get out much and wanted to try some foreign cuisine. I told her to pick the place. Bad idea. She chose Greek and all I can say is picture Ben Stiller in the movie Along Came Polly and that is how I felt. Definitely not my cup of tea and my insides are having a rough time today.:(

I love me some Greek but yes it will get you the next day. Heavy on garlic and olive oil

come on man, chicken shwarma salad with a side of hummus and pita bread is where its at.

But on your defense not all greek restaurants are good. they either awesome or flop in my opinion

I had some kinda gyro stuff, which wasn't bad along with the fried calamari. My wife on the other hand, had some kind of green egg roll looking deal. She says here honey, try this. WHOA, what the hell is in that. Tasted like it was full of cinnamon or something. Same thing with the burrito looking deal she had which was covered with cheese. She wants to try Masala's next. I'm hoping for a better out come on that venture.

Greek food is god awful! First time I ate it was a few months back for one of my buddies gf's birthday. Just the smell makes me wanna toss my cookies. I didn't even order anything. I tried a few things. I won't set foot in another Greek restaurant as long as I live.

you can't forget the lebanese tea! It sounds like someone doesn't like grape leaves, I don't think they are that great but i'd eat them. I stick to the major dishes chicken shwarma and gyros, but i've had some crappy gyros so, I often try something different. like beef kabob.

Cafe phenioxica in denham by bass pro, I've eaten there 2x and it was good, that La Shish place by spectrum fitness, sucks I wouldn't eat there.

Never ate at either one. I'm a fool for arzi's but they done closed and the other arzi's aren't as good as the one in denham was. I heard they was reopening but haven't heard when or where

Is it October YET? 07-11-2010 12:16 PM
