Review: The Village Greek



 INFO:
The Village Greek

NEIGBOURHOOD:
 

Sam Levy’s Village, Borrowdale
CUISINE:
Greek and Mediterranean
PRICE:

What we had cost less than $20 with drinks included.






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.
