Mrs. Guido Says: *1/2
Food: hummus appetizer, greek salad, eggplant rolls with rice pilaf. Hummus appetizer, which was only ordered because we had a free coupon, immediately let it be known why it was free. The texture was grainy and liquidy, and after about two bites, it was pushed to the edge of the table. The greek salad was standard, but nothing special. The entrée itself was a big disappointment. There were only three eggplant rolls given, but a mound of rice. Basically, it was a platter of rice. Eggplant was not breaded and still had the skin on it, and was wrapped around a filling of spinach and feta. There was no sauce, and it was extremely dry. All the vegetables had a metallic taste to it, and the pile of rice went untouched. The most off-putting part of the night was the rotten fish smell coming from the table next to us, who had to send back their meal. Although this did not directly affect our food, the smell made us lose our appetites, good thing we had already ate. The atmosphere was quiet, as the restaurant had just opened and not well known yet. The waitress was friendly and seemed embarrassed about the rotten fish and apologetic. Overall, they tried to disguise their small portions by hiding them in the mountain of rice, but this isn't fooling no one. Expect this restaurant to go out of business fast.

Food: Tiropita, Spanokopita, Souzouki (greek meat rolls) combo platter, hummus appetizer. This place is more of a turkish place with some greek stuff too. All three of the greek fillo rolls were bland and dry, with not enough filling. Tasted almost like non-authentic frozen versions that one may find at a supermarket. Mrs. Guido already mentioned the rotting fish debacle above- at least it was after we had already ate. The Glen Cove location has gotten good reviews by Great Restaurants of Long Island Magazine. Maybe that location is actually much better than the Lake Grove location that we ate in.
