Its in the same plaza as Ann & Tony's that I've previously reviewed with pretty low marks but noted that the atmosphere was very 'at home' feeling. I felt the same way about the atmosphere here. The booths are just tables against a long comfy couch inhabiting one side of the restaurant and the chairs are pillow topped too. Service and attitude of the two workers was also great. Its very comfortable here.
I asked the guy at the counter what I should get and he said definitely a lamb gyro so I took him up on it. My first impression was that it was too full to wrap up while eating but as I worked through it became obvious that the pita was actually just stiff. So that's not good eats, definitely not fresh pita. But the meat was spot on, veggies were solid, and the tzatziki sauce was incredible. Id say this sauce in isolation was better than my top few gyro joints back in Columbus. Fries were a blend of two styles, a white clean skinned fry and a dark skin-on fry. That was novel, but I think a bad idea. They were fried together but had different frying needs leaving the dark one far too cooked to get the light one just right. Served with malt vinegar. Proper.
They had several desserts I wanted to try so I just ordered all 4 to save myself the struggle of choice. Carrot cake was a bit too dry but flavor was spot on and texture otherwise enjoyable. Love the lemon cake. Walnut baklava isn't up to snuff in my opinion although the size of it was decent value, it just seems put together without care and the layers are pretty indistinguishable. White chocolate baklava I had to try, but as I suspected white chocolate is not appropriate on baklava.
Overall this is the best thing I've had in West Jeff so far which is not a...
Read moreWe stopped here after a middle school volleyball game (we are from Fairbanks). My wife and I LOVE Greek food. When we walked in we felt right at home: Greek music playing in the background, Greek men in the kitchen, and a comfortable clean dining room. We ordered lamb Gyros, hummus, an olive plate, and baklava. I will honestly say that it was the BEST gyro I have ever had hands down. Again, we ordered the lamb meat gyro (not the chicken). The hummus was fantastic as well (served with fresh vegetables and warm pita bread). The pistachio baklava was a little different than we have had before and we thought the $6 price for each was too high, but it was still good and worth the experience (one time). West Jefferson is about 35 minutes away and we have already made plans to go back just to "Eat Greek". It's easy to find right beside the McDonalds. My highest recommendation! Supplement: I came here for my 48th birthday. It is all that I asked for my birthday. We ordered the olive and feta cheese plate, falafel, hummus, Greek fries, gyros (with lamb meat of course), and finished with walnut baklava. Everything was fresh, delicious, beautiful and absolutely perfect. I truly enjoyed my whole meal and it was worth every single penny. If you are anywhere near West Jefferson or Lewis Center you owe it to yourself to stop at either (or BOTH) of their locations. This is STILL the best Greek food my wife and I...
Read moreI’m a truck driver an driver past eat Greek on my new Monday route. I came in on my second week an do so every single Monday religiously. My wife and kids have me grab for them too. We live an hour and a half away. And we would walk in blistering heat for more of their food. Absolutely every single item on the menu is made with care, quality ingredients and a sense of pride of their cuisine. I’ve never experienced Greek foods with such fresh ingredients so much flavor an amazing textures all dressing are made in house and taste amazing I can’t wait to keep trying everything else I haven’t had yet. My daughter absolutely loved the lamb chops , the chicken with marinated and herbs is hands down best piece of chicken I’ve ever had. Thank you guys so so much for making good food and pricing it decent. West Jefferson and any other place you are in is good extremely lucky to have you. If I ever move away I’ll still drive here for the customer service and quality food. Thanks guys! From the porta Kleen truck driver…:see...
