Staying in Hershey overnight for an AM procedure that will hopefully, finally deal with my chronic pain issue. A girl can dream ![]()
Grabbed a 6-pack at the bottle shop to take to a Greek place that got pretty good reviews on the googlz (4.7 rating), and had a promising menu. We mistakenly thought it was BYOB, so had picked up a coupla cans each of Carrie Kölsch & von Trapp Kellerbier, but apparently they recently got a liquor license, so back in the car our cans went, and we had Stella on draft instead.
I had a tough time choosing 3 candidates for the dip sampler, but finally settled on tirokafteri, skordalia, and melitsanosalata. I find most restaurant taramosalata disappointing, and the fava seemed like it was going to be too heavy.
Anyway, as you can see a very generous amount of dips, and an abundance of pita & cukes, of which there seemed to be an endless supply in the kitchen ![]()
The skordalia was very good, the melitsanosalata just ok, and the tirokafteri had absolutely zero heat to it and was much lighter and creamier than I expected it to be.
We ordered spanakopita and 2 souvlakia (pork & lamb) for our mains plus a Greek salad. The tomatoes were, of course, absolutely flavorless, but I was just happy to see no lettuce on the plate, and the feta in slabs.
I thought the spanakopita was excellent: heavy on the dill, easy on the feta, perfectly crispy phyllo. The pork & lamb souvlakia were perfectly cooked as well, but both on the fattier side… a lil too fatty for me.
And they each came with lemon, @mts !!! ![]()
The dessert menu included loukoumades, a rarity at Greek places I’ve been to in the US, and as usual we were too stuffed
to have them right then and there, which is how freshly fried food is to be enjoyed.
Instead, we took a slice of ekmek back to the room, which is a favorite dessert of mine & another rarity, both stateside and in Berlin.
This place may be one of the two best Greek restaurants I’ve dined in the US. Polí oraya ![]()
