To Kalle & Pie who always tells me that I look like a Greek :)
Since I saw a comment on my blog that I have to try out Greek food and see if it is better than the Persian food I had been looking for the right place to go to and I found it.
A friend of my told me that there is this place in Lower East side where they have amazing Greek food. He told me that they used to sell food on the street like the Halal stands, but then they got famous and got awards for best selling street food so they opened up a restaurant.
I got to say that my first though was that the place is going to either be expensive or cheap and disgusting. Oh boy I was
wrong. First of, the inside is decorated like someones house in Greece and the food was extremely cheap also it tasted so good.
You get a plate with hand cut Greek fries with cheese and spice on it for $4 dollars. Just that is good for 2-3 person. You can have a lot of fresh baked pita slices with 2 cups of Tzatziki( yogurt with garlic and cucumbers) for only $2. The main course is simple you either have, beef, pork or chicken Souvlaki ( BBQ meat over coal) cost $5
Me and my friend ordered one side each and one main course. I can tell you that It was a lot of food left after we were done.
When sitting in there I really felt like I was back in Greece for vacation, for me just sitting there and enjoying the view was making my moneys worth.
The name of the restaurant is "Souvlaki Gr" and is located on
116 Stanton St, Manhattan, NY 10002
Who knows, I might have some Greek blood in me after all.
I really thought the demonstration was over long time ago but it seems like it will not stop and this thing has gone international. In countries such as Spain, Greece and Portugal people are demonstrating against the government.
