The Greek chef teases big effects and full flavours from food that is filling and intermittently impressive for the price. Prices are kept in check (meal for two is Rs 2,500) and satisfaction high. We welcome Mumbai’s first-ever authentic Greek restaurant, with it’s bold, large-hearted Mediterranean flavours and cocktails to match. A bothersome fly or two hovering around, loud music are our other cribs. Veggies will not be as delighted as the non-veggies, even though there is pasta and pizza for them.
Salads (especially horiatiki) are refreshing but could do with crisper vegetables. His mom, Radhika, auditor, writer, painter, and above all a homemaker, gives us her vegetarian take on the food.
#Greek restaurant windows
We sit by the arched windows looking onto the stables which my Polo champion lunch companions love, be it the dashing industrialist, current Indian National Endurance horse riding champion Gokul Jaykrishna or his son Arjun, National award winning actor, football and polo player and now studying in Singapore. Greek touches, a white-and-blue colour scheme, decorative ceramics, that sort of thing and a boutique of clothes from the Goa Thalassa too. The white pebbled courtyard, the Mediterranean soul of Mahalaxmi’s Olive is perfect place for Thalassa. End with the amazing galaktoboureko semolina based baked custard pie, even the crunchy, decadent, sweet baklava is good. As is the layererd, cheesy, vegetarian moussaka. The slow-cooked lamb kleftiko, chicken fillet souvlaki are recommended. Outstanding creamy yoghurt and feta cheese dips (tzatziki, tiro kaf teri) and more. For sure the succulent chunks of lamb gyros and beef gyros with piles of salad, chips, pita and tzatziki make for a complete meal. “Especially the meats, they’re hearty and satisfying,” she smiles. Bangalore-born, she loves India, “Dil hai Hindustani,” she says, and is delighted with the food here. Like the exuberant and beautiful Sahar Biniaz, Miss Universe Canada, who, having studied business and acting, does interior designs (designs her own clothes too, like the skirt she is wearing) and loves food (eats desserts thrice a day).

A Little History From the Greek Islands to Your Table. We have locations in Chicago and Lombard. We have a diverse menu of beloved Greek dishes. At a totally impromptu lunch (by a meaningful coincidence), my lunch companions turn out to be a perfect fit for Thalassa. Greek Islands is the top Greek restaurant in the Chicago area. And Thalassa’s Greek menu replaces that of Olive Bar & Kitchen.įreshness and bold flavours, generosity of portions, mark the Greek food here. Flouncing into Olive is the Goa restaurant owner-chef Corfu-bred Maria Caterina. Greece comes to the Mahalaxmi race course’s Olive via Goa. I eat twice at Mekong which pops up on the 37th floor of Palladium Hotel and a Greek restaurant pops up as a pop-up but it is more than a pop-up, coz it is here to stay for a longish time. Just when I think I’ve done it all, more new ones open. Eaten at the Pan Asian Auriga (Mahalaxmi), Modern European Levo (Andheri), Nico (Fort), Masala Library (BKC), Grain & Bagel (Juhu), The White Owl Brewery & Bistro (Lower Parel)… stopped by for a drink and snacks at The Lazy Dog, Bottle Bar (both in Fort). Mumbai’s new restaurant-scape is doing the bhangra, and I’ve been (going unannounced, paying my bills) eating non-stop. Look below for our list of the capital’s ultimate Greek restaurants.New. But a new breed of restaurants doing modern Greek small plates, ace riffs on the classics and fab vegetarian dishes abounds across the city.
North London’s still a hotbed for Greek eateries, catering to settlements of cheerful Cypriot and Greek expatriates hungry for souvlaki, kleftiko and gigantes as good as they taste back home. While great Greek restaurants in London can still feel as hidden away as the the army inside a Trojan Horse, things have more than come on since The Real Greek’s Hellenic heyday. It’s also time to big-up some of London’s best-loved Hellenic evergreens, including Andy’s Taverna (a Camden fixture for more than 50 years), Aphrodite Taverna and Kalamaras in Bayswater, Retsina in Belsize Park and the Sappho Meze Bar – a dinky, cash-only favourite in Clapham.
#Greek restaurant plus
September 2019: We’ve added Meraki (a Greek outing from the guys behind Roka and Zuma), plus Pitta Bun (a fast-casual offshoot of Marylebone’s Opso) and the new White City restaurant from The Athenian street food chain.
