Bay Area Food š Remember Moussaka, the Greek Dish!
Iām usually a big fan of Mediterranean dishes like grilled fish and lamb shanks, but I fell in love with Moussaka at first bite, thanks to my friendās strong recommendation. Itās just so delicious! The combination of meat sauce, eggplant, zucchini, potato slices, and a generous layer of melted cheese is irresistible. Every ingredient is something I love, and together theyāre just perfect! š Moussaka is like a low-carb version of lasagnaāthink eggplant and meat sauce layers, but without the pasta. Itās perfect for someone like me who isnāt a big fan of pasta. Why didnāt I discover this sooner? š I havenāt had a new dish this good in a while. The only downside is that itās a bit high in calories, but who cares when itās this good? Itās totally worth it once in a while! šš» From now on, Iāll always look for Moussaka when Iām eating Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, or Greek food. I think beef might be even better than lamb in this dish, though the lamb is pretty flavorful. š Their grilled fish is my absolute favoriteāI highly recommend it! š Lamb Shank: The lamb shank is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It has that perfect barbecue texture with a soft, juicy center. If you love lamb, youāll probably love this. But to be honest, itās quite similar to what youād find at DishDash, and thereās still a bit of that distinctive lamb flavor. š„¦ Turmeric Roasted Cauliflower: The cauliflower is roasted with turmeric and served with yogurt. The turmeric gives it a slight Indian curry flavor, which I really enjoyed. The yogurt base is also deliciousāI loved it! š® MAHALABIA SHAABIYAT: Mahalabia is a traditional Middle Eastern milk pudding with a pure, creamy flavor and a hint of floral notes. Itās not too sweet and really delightful. The Shaabiyat is a light, crispy pastry that pairs perfectly with the pudding. Highly recommended! šš» You can make reservations in advance. This place seems to be a popular spot for business dinners and social gatherings. It gets really crowded after 6:30 p.m. š3060 Olsen Dr Ste 50, San Jose, CA 95128 š„³ I highly recommend this Mediterranean restaurant!
