The Greek Food Experience

Blogger Tin Gonzaga doesn't eat pork as she adheres to a healthy lifestyle. It was such a treat for both of us to be able to try the Falafel, that look like sausage links but are made from chickpeas. She said that she has not eaten longanisa, which is a kind of Filipino sausage made from pork, in years and the Falafel is an excellent substitute. These do have a great crunch and a depth of flavor of being loaded with a potpourri of  herbal goodness, served on wonderful pita bread.

The salad was light, drizzled with extra virgin olive oil, with a blend of onions, Feta cheese, and olives. A delightful summer-like salad, this siding is fabulous.

A pita filled with meat, the Souvlaki was hefty and filling. The pita bread was not oily or crunchy, not too thin nor that thick, and it served to enhance the dish, making it an excellent wrap to eat as a snack or as a meal.

Leave room for dessert when you dine at this Greek restaurant as the Baklava was a gourmet adventure. It had a bottom layer of finely nuts, a hint of the gooey goodness of honey, and the lightness of layered phyllo dough, Baklava is one of the oldest desserts in the world, and this one is made from a family recipe that has been handed down from generation to generation. This is the first time that I have tried Baklava, and it is on of my list as a must-have dessert. 

Cakes Made to Order

With the fondant expertise and a passion to create, the wife of the owner, Aysegul Ozden Trifyllis, who is Turkish, does make some of the most wonderful and original cakes. This one was ready for pick up.
