The Greek Kitchen is Greek restaurant (duh!) near our apartment that we’ve passed by many times. I’ve been craving mediterranean food a lot recently so I was eager to try it out. The restaurant is much bigger than it looks from the outside and is kind of rustically decorated like an actual taverna in Greece. The dining room wasn’t very crowded on this rainy evening so we were able to snag a table in the corner next to the window.<\/p>\n
We started off with a bottle of Greek red wine, a cabernet-merlot mix from Dimitra wines. We’re not the hugest fan of Greek wines but this bottle was pretty drinkable. We also ordered an appetizer platter to share, the pikilia, which is a choice of any four cold appetizers. We opted for tzatziki (yogurt, cucumber, garlic, dill), skordalia (potato, garlic), melitzanosalata (eggplant, garlic, olive oil, lemon), and dolmades (stuffed grape leaves).<\/p>\n
