Okay, I held off reviewing Greek Kouzina for awhile because I wanted to try more of their menu and…read moretoday I got the chance. One thing I never fail to order is their stuffed zucchini because it's really good and feels really healthy... it's "greek rice with pine nuts, raisins and tomatoes stuffed in zucchini". However, today I found out that they modified their menu and there's no longer stuffed zucchini (sob!); instead, they changed it to stuffed red bell pepper! Badly needing my rice fix, I ordered it anyway, but very doubtfully. We also got the beef gyros (small pieces of beef, greens, and feta cheese in pita wrap) and the crispy calamares. The good news is, the stuffed red bell pepper was surprisingly even BETTER than the zucchini. It's the sweetest pepper I've ever tasted! Truthfully I'm not a fan of bell peppers because the green ones turn me off so I thought they all taste weird, but this red bell pepper was a game changer for me. TRY IT TRY IT! The other ones we ordered were pretty good as well. So far, I haven't tasted anything that I particularly disliked from Greek Kouzina. I also like their Lamb Meatballs. For dessert, their Greeka Yogurt is a must-try. The honey mixed with yogurt is amazing. If you run out of honey you can always ask for more.

With my job constantly taking me places and me having to find routes to get from one point to the…read moreother in the fastest way possible, I pass through random roads a lot. Whenever I take Little Baguio, I always see small restaurant with lots of cars parked outside it, even on the street. One day, a client of mine asked to meet at Greeka, though not the one in San Juan, but the then newly opened branch in SM Aura. Because I already have a major favorite from another restaurant, thought it would be "safe" for me to try Greeka's version, and maybe even compare to see which one I like better. So, I ordered the htipiti, which is basically a feta cheese dip. It was a bit coarse, with small bits of feta and not spicy like the one I have been accustomed to. Their pita is also a bit on the heavier side. Then I had their Roka Garides pasta, which I was unsure of at first, because I didn't think arugula would work well with shrimp and pasta. However, I was glad I tried it because it was good! Being able to enjoy pasta with vegetables is good, but with this, it's just wonderful. Overall, I found that it cannot be compared to my favorite Greek resto, as Greeka has a totally different approach and feel, not just to the eyes but to the palate as well.

It has even surpassed my ability to think and eat rationally. My fiancé can attest this. When the craving for Greeka's Caesar salad hits, there's just no stopping me from getting it. Like a single-minded Beagle determined to get that food on the table! Any argument, any objection, any other attempt to sway me to go somewhere else is FUTILE. F-U-T-I-L-E. I MUST HAVE MY CAESAR SALAD WITH CALAMARI!! But it's just Caesar salad, for God's sake - I hear your judging thoughts, Ms. Caesar-Salad-Know-It-All. And to you I say, IT IS NOT JUST CAESAR SALAD. It is a bouquet of greens drenched in thiiiiick Feta-based dressing, so-good calamari wedged in between every leaf and generous Parmesan strips adding that extra oomph. Miam miam miam. I wonder if my fiancé will get annoyed if we have this again for dinner tonight (hehe we just ate there last night and last week).

Its 2 floors with plenty of seats upstairs. Good for small party or a gathering with friends and family. The service is a bit slow but im noticing a trend recently when it comes to service. You have to be really aggressive and tell them what you need.... politely of course. There's no need for diva rudeness. Lol. As for the menu, its family style. Sharing is encouraged. The portions are huge... a bit pricey but totally worth it. No lunch menu peeps so order big and splurge. I noticed everyone getting the lamb and we decided to get the 2 lamb wrap with 3 sides (700+). Its good for 2-3 ppl.... I say its good for 2 ppl and it comes with 4 tortilla. I wish it was pita instead. It wouldve been perfect. A tortilla wrap in a greek restaurant... hmm. We asked for extra wrap (100+) and it was a bit tough. lost a star there. However, the lamb was perfectly roasted and well seasoned. It truly melts in your mouth. You guys totally need to try it. For my sides i had grilled vegetable salad(zucchinni, green pepper, and egg plant topped with feta cheese), eggplant dip, and sun dried tomato hummus. I never had sun dried tomato hummus. Im usually a hummus snob since i like my hummus lemony with lots of garlic. However this isn't bad. Well seasoned... not too salty. Its not smooth. Its somewhat chunky. Still really good. Its a must try! All in all i had a great experience. A slow start with a few oopsies but the lamb made up for it. Delish. Will i come back.... theres a possibility.

On the one hand you want good food, on the other you want to eat three square meals for each day of the week. Yvan Navy (The Y in Yvan is pronounced like the E in Greek) is one of the best places to eat around Mendiola. Their quarter pounders and massive kebabs are fifty and sixty pesos respectively. All their food is fresh off the grill. You can expect a healthy serving of veggies and, wait for it, cheese on either the kebab or the burger. Few places can rival this place in terms of value and taste. The day I found this place was one of the few times I spontaneously called it a cheat day. I ended up ordering two kebabs and a single burger in one sitting and soon found myself eating there once a day for the remainder of the week. Yvan Navy is the kind of restaurant that I love most because their establishments tend to be simple and marked with a lack of frippery and nonsense. They can afford to make good food at such a cheap price because they choose to invest in their ingredients and their service.

For a quarter pounder with that price, I'm surprised that the thickness of the patty is generous enough to satisfy your cravings. I will definitely come back and taste their other offerings.

Since The Podium is growing, you can go to this restaurant from the new Julia Vargas entrance too. Food: Falafel with Pita was insanely good! I loved that they gave so much pita and falafel. This was the first time I had falafel covered in sesame seeds. My ideal falafel would be one with a crunchy coating and soft filling, and they nailed it! Everything was cooked very well and I could really taste the grilled flavor of the vegetables. Pitas were thick; carbs galore! Service: I'm also happy with their service! They did what they could to give me an easy and pleasing experience with my reservation via Eatigo. My server did really well and he checked on how my food was.

Pair it with their moroccan mint hot tea :) I must add the interiors are very nice and really brings a Mediterranean vibe.

As we looked at the prices for the variety of their hummus, we kept it simple and got our usual order. Lentil Soup: Pretty good! Just think monggo. If you like it, I'd recommend this. Hummus: One of the reasons why we love eating hummus (chickpea and sesame dip) at any branch is the bread coming in two pieces. Presentation was attractive and appetizing. Serving size was generous. Taste was simply perfect and I'll always love this dish, so much that I'd bring it to the movies instead of popcorn! Plain Lassi: I'm a fan of yogurt shakes! Sweet or salty, heck, I'll have it both ways! Service: They seemed pretty knowledgeable about their menu. We were asking for a simple soup recommendation and they suggested Lentil Soup, comparing it to monggo. That made our decision very easy! (for July 2018)

They have huge servings, so come hungry. Came for lunch. Ordered samosa sampler, hummus with pita, chicken shawarma plate, beef chelo kabab plate and a lamb kabab plate with basmati rice. Everything came out fresh and hot. I can see why Mr. Kabab has a huge following. Big servings of freshly made food. Overall, I thought the spices were very understated. The samosas were hot but not much flavor, the hummus was on the runny side and needed a little bit more cumin or something. The chicken shawarma was pretty crunchy, not how I prefer my shawarma meat. The kababs were juicy, but again barely any flavor. It's a good place to eat but if you're looking for authentic flavors, you won't find it here.
