For the sake of accuracy, we thought it best to order almost every single food item on offer. Keeping in mind that the meal was coupled with 8-10 cocktails, this, in hindsight, was not the greatest idea we’ve ever had.
First up: an array of dips and cold meze, including but not exclusive to the standard chickpea hummus, Greek fava yellow split bean dip, charred aubergine and yoghurt dip and tzatziki.
Tirokafteri, made with Greek yoghurt, feta cheese and chilies, Melitzanosalata, made with eggplant and garnished with toasted pita chips, as well as Tarmasalata, made with Greek fish row, olive oil and grated red onion, also made an appearance.
Home made and absolutely delicious, with every bite, we could immediately tell that each single plate was made with passion and flair, resulting in utter perfection. Not to mention the warm pita bread they were served with, which only fuelled our appreciation further.
If you’ve made it this far and are under the impression that we had had enough, you are sorely mistaken. Next up: some more mezes, of course!
Greek olives, the classic dolomades, spiced homemade mixed nuts, marinated feta cheese and a classic Greek salad. Not a detail was missed, not an ingredient out of place, as every single plate tasted even better than the last.
Washed down with a Zeus cocktail, which is a dangerous combination of vodka, gin, white rum, triple sec, Pushkin Black, Captain Morgan dark, lime juice and Sprite, we were ready for a couple of hot mezes. We promised ourselves we would walk home and therefore, the calories don’t count, right?
