Greek Isle Deli


I was planning a “catch up” lunch with a friend and thought it would be a great opportunity to try out a new restaurant. 

Because we couldn’t decide what we wanted to order we decided on splitting the Taste of the Mediterranean platter and a side order of Greek fries.  We ordered our food at the counter and then found a table to wait for our food.  By the time we got our drinks, silverware, napkins and found a table to sit at they had called our name to pick up the order. 

The platter was plenty of food for the two of us females with pita bread, falafel patties, hommous, taboule, original and chicken gyro meats, marinated chicken, TZ, feta cheese and olives.
                          
  
Everything was pretty tasty but I wasn’t really impressed by the hommous.  It could be a result of me usually getting the kind with other flavors (like roasted red pepper or artichoke) at the grocery store, but it tasted kind of bland to me. 

The fries were sprinkled with feta cheese and spices and were pretty good although not what I expected when I saw "greek fries" on the menu.

I’m not sure what used to be in that space but the deli had some extra space in the kitchen area.  The seating area was filled with plenty of tables and chairs and while we were there only 4 or 5 tables remained open.  We sat next to a fountain with trickling water right which created a soothing sound and atmosphere in the midst of the deli.

The deli is family owned and operated and that is apparent by the décor and way they do business (credit card reader is an attachment to a smart phone), which adds a little charm if you ask me.  We were able to get in and out in good time but didn’t feel rushed at all.  Both my friend and I decided we planned we wanted to return to try more of the restaurant’s menu selection.
