I attended the OPA Fest today and I am so glad I did. Homemade (again, homemade) Greek food that…read morewas just so good, I left there stuffed. I have been to church food festivals/carnivals before and this by far impressed me. Everything, including the desserts were all homemade (I'm still in shock). The servers, everyone, spoke Greek and they all looked so happy and having a great time.
Let's see, they had the typical shish-kabob, gyros, Grecian chicken, and Greek salad. Aside from that, they had: Saganki (flaming cheese), Tiropites (Cheese pie), spanakopita (spinach pie), and Pastichio (Greek lasagna). Desserts- baklava, diples, galaktobouriko, kourambiedes, loukoumades, or a variety plate. Of course they had Greek wine and liquor, Greek coffee, and a lot more.
As typical in a carnival, there was music, dancing, merchants selling jewelery and other accessories, raffles, rides, etc.
$2 per adult; 12 and under free; food can be purchased with credit card. Tomorrow they are open from 3pm-10pm.
I'm so glad I can get Greek food without having to go to the city. Though I think I need to make a friend out of a Greek grandmother so I can be spoiled with some more home cooking!
