Soft, chewy, and slightly smoky from the griddle—perfect for scooping up sauces and dips fresh from the Mediterranean kitchen.
🔥 Saganaki – Flaming Greek Cheese
A tableside showstopper! Pan-seared cheese flambéed with a splash of brandy and finished with a squeeze of lemon—crispy, melty, and absolutely irresistible.
🥗 Greek Couscous Salad
A refreshing medley of crisp cucumbers, juicy tomatoes, roasted red peppers, and herbs tossed with fluffy couscous and a bright lemon-oregano dressing.
🥙 Lamb Sausage Kefta Skewers with Tzatziki
Juicy spiced lamb skewers grilled to perfection, paired with cool, creamy cucumber-garlic tzatziki—an explosion of Mediterranean flavor in every bite.
🐟 Seared Salmon with Rosé Pan Sauce
Delicate salmon fillets seared to golden perfection, draped in a silky rosé and shallot pan sauce infused with thyme and citrus.
