The
Village Greek is a cosy little eatery where their good food goes straight to
the heart. They serve Mediterranean
dishes cooked with quality ingredients which embody authentic flavours and
tastes from Greece. I was left longing for their food days after I left. I’m a big fan of
food that’s fresh, filling and full of flavour. Out of all the places I’ve gone to eat so far this
one comes out tops for their quality food. It really reminded me why I love
food and why I love to write about it. I think it’s the perfect place for a
date, if you’re out with a group of your friends and if you just want to grab
something filling, tasty and quick (they do take-out too) – this place is for
you.
Our
food rundown included Souvlaki Kalamaki – Kebabs, which I chose - this included
2 skewers of chicken kebabs served with village bread. The chicken was
succulent and flavoursome. Trust me it got better with each bite. Other options
for the kebabs are bifketi, pork or haloumi. We also ordered a side plating of Patatakia –
chips with a sprinkling of oregano which was a decent portion of chips and Horiatiki
– traditional village salad with tomatoes, cucumber, red onions, feta and
olives. I love a good fresh salad – plus I’m a big feta fan –must be the saltiness
of it.
My
foodie partner had Skara Sti Pita - Grills in a pocket less pita. It was a
filling portion of grilled beef gyro wrapped in warm pita bread with tzatziki,
tomatoes, onions and chips. The different combinations blended well together. I
had a couple of bites and I was hooked. It was the tastiest pita I had ever had
and that tzatziki was just heavenly. The taste of chips, juicy tomato, crunchy
onions, tender beef and mind –blowing tzatziki all wrapped together in one was
such a delight. I could eat that beef gyro pita for the rest of my life and not
get tired. Trust me it was that good.
The
Village Greek is definitely a place I’d go back to.
