MEZES GREEK TAVERNA – Greek
Pines Boulevard Greek, cooked the way a taverna should be. The mezes do the heavy lifting: hummus and tzatziki by the pound, dolmadakia, keftedakia, cheese saganaki, spanakopita, eggplant smash, fried zucchini, skordalia. Then avgolemono soup, horiatiki, grilled octopus, shrimp saganaki, pork and chicken souvlaki platters, gyro on pita, lamb chops, mousaka, pastitsio, whole lavraki off the grill. There is a Greek paella and a surf-and-turf if you want to make an event of it, and galaktoboureko or baklava after. Lunch and dinner menus both. Generous, straightforward, priced for a weeknight.
