Review Title: Better than Yiassoo! Really Fresh Tasting Gyros & Souvlaki! [ View All Reviews ]

RATING
Review score is 2.00
Thumbs Up!
I love this new Greek place in the Cambrian area!

It's in a really strange shopping center on the corner of Union Ave. and Bascom Ave. It's where the Happy Days Diner used to be before a huge kitchen fire destroyed the interiors and left the diner boarded up for over a year. That burned out building was something I always wanted to do a photo project on, but I didn't get to it before it reopened as the Greek Kitchen.

/> Oh well, that's just as well because the Greek Kitchen rocks! I've certainly been there enough times since. The first thing you'll notice is that the place looks spotless. The next thing you'll notice is that the food is very fresh, healthy, and tasty.

The menu's not very complicated. It's basically your straight up popular Greek eatery type of fare: gyros, souvlaki, salads, and etc. The salad's not too special, but I'd give everything else a huge thumbs up! There's nothing wrong with the salad. It's just salad. I've been there four times the past few weeks and I'm tempted to go back again right now as I'm writing this. If you like Yiassoo, you'll love this place. It's similar fare, but it's cleaner inside, and everything tastes lighter and healthier without losing flavor.

The owner is a real hoot too. He just moved down from Toronto so he could enjoy a bit of the California sunshine. His family owns small chain of Greek eateries in Canada that the Greek Kitchen is based on.
