General Info
The tastiest family meal in Greektown. Dolmades - vine leaves wrapped around rice, meats and herbs, with egg-lemon sauce – is priced at $5.00 or $10.00, depending on the size of the helping. This is a great traditional choice that can also be prepared vegetarian style. For $11.50, order the Athenian Broiled Chicken. This comes flavored with oregano and lemon plus a roasted potato. Or try any dish made with lamb. They are all worthy of any “best of” list. Their braised lamb sells for $11.75 and is prepared with tomatoes, herbs and wine.
Desserts should not be missed. Try the Baklava, a Greek favorite with layers of phyllo with walnuts, almonds and honey for $3.50. Sokilatina is an unforgettable chocolate mousse cake going for $4.25. And the Galaktobouriko tastes like it sounds, out of this world. For $3.50 it comes as a phyllo filled with vanilla custard.
