The Fat Greek – Greek
This vibrant Mediterranean spot hums with the energy of a sun-drenched taverna, where the savory aroma of slow-roasted meats spinning on the rotisserie fills the air. Warm, pillowy pitas are stuffed to bursting with succulent chicken, pork, or lamb and topped with crisp vegetables, while refreshing salads like the traditional Horiatiki bring a garden-fresh crunch to the table. It is a lively destination that balances hearty, traditional comfort with the bright, zesty flavors of the Greek isles.
