    Nice Greek food, best Gyros in Scotland. The service needs to pick up a little. They seem to be slow lately. Overall good

I had seen this place on my travels before to Scotland and made it a priority to stop by this time around. As you walk in, it is as if you have been transported to Greece. from the decor to the Greek flag and the Greek music playing in the background, it feels as if you are in a small island in Greece and brings such a nostalgia of you have ever been to Greece and experienced its charm. I was warmly greeted and seated right away. I took in the menu and wanted to order everything, but realized that I needed to stick with what my stomach would allow me to finish. I ordered some of their more popular items in a signature drink and was excited to dive into tasting. When the food arrived, I was pleasantly surprised with all the flavors and the deliciousness of it. All the drink was great and the ambience added to everything.. if you're ever in Glasgow and find yourself wanting some true authentic Greek food this is the place to go! OPA

Large portions…read more -Oh, and excellent company I've been using Yelp since February 2013 and have found it to be a very useful source when I'm out and about on the lookout for somewhere to have a coffee or grab a bite. With that in mind, I thought it high time that I actually met some of the good folks behind the opinions that have steered me right when I was a wee bit lost. I missed out on the last shindig, so I was pleased to get the chance to pop over to the other side of the river for a wee Greek Night. Friday, 7:30pm, 34 Sinclair Drive, the restaurant formerly known as 'The Greek Golden Kebab'. Well, the odd turn of the century décor aside, the restaurant is very cosy and a pleasant place to eat. There were nine of us and we were directed to a long banquet seat, running from the upstairs entrance to the window. Whilst four of our crew chose the mese -definitely not for the faint-hearted - the others went for the more conservative starter/main course combo. The starters were the usual Greek dips - taramasalata, humus, tahini and tzatziki. The mese munchers were treated to a selection in reasonably sized portions of each. They were kind enough - or just couldn't finish it all on their own - to allow us a wee taste of each. They were definitely home made and all very tasty, with the notable exception of the taramasalata, which was just far too salty. Alas, that was the starter I'd opted for. Well, Goldilocks and the Three Bears comes to mind. Think of the biggest, daddy bear bowl of porridge you can imagine and you've got the picture. We're talking HUGE. Did I mention that it was super-salty? The mese looked amazing. And so much of it! They just kept bringing it on. Incredible value for just under £19. Honestly, unless you're absolutely ravenous, you won't be able to do it justice. I wimped out and chose the Stifado. Delicious! I was a bit thrown by the puff-pastry topping, but the slow-cooked beef melted in your mouth...Mmm! Team mese, whilst still capable of conversation, were starting to flag. Let's face it, they were working their way through a week of calories and the annual salt allowance of a South African Miner in one sitting. The beer was reasonably priced too at around £3 a bottle. I didn't check, but I'm sure the same will apply to the wine. They were also very happy to supply you with cool tap water with ice. Definitely a thumbs up for Frosoulla's.

    For International Food Night #2, Rocco G suggested we visit the famous South Side Greek restaurant,…read moreGreek Golden Kebab. Sadly, after some 40 years it closed two weeks before our outing and opened over the road under the new name Frosoulla's. It's a nice space with a small amount of seating downstairs and then a larger dining area upstairs. There is a high ceiling with chandeliers, lots of black and white - it's modern, but still a bit outdated at the same time, more like the early-2000 idea of modern. Anyway, it's unoffensive so not really a big deal. There was a large table of 9 of us and we were seated along the wall on bench seating. Bench seating is such a pain where there's a large group, I kind of wish that places wouldn't do it. Especially when it's sweltering hot and you stick to the seat as well. I had a look over the menu, which is really long and features a lot of options as well as a mezze (4 course meal). I couldn't face that much food after a long, hot day coming back from London so I went for taramasalata as a starter (with pita) then a chicken shis kebab and a side of halloumi. The taramasalata was an incredibly generous portion - honestly, far too generous for one person to eat on their own. I'm going to guess and say it was the size of a tub you'd buy in a supermarket, something like 200g worth. It was obviously made in-house though, as the flavour was really strong and fishy, verging on too salty but thankfully more palatable with the bread. For main, I was impressed by the shis kebab which was again, a huge portion served on a massive plate with rice as well as tzatziki. The kebab had chicken as well as peppers on it and the chicken was juicy and succulent even though the pieces were massive. I was very impressed (but alas, I couldn't eat it all!). The halloumi wasn't great, it was a lot more chewy than how I cook it at home. I like mine to have a crispy outside and soft inside, whereas this seemed more like it was lightly grilled. I also ordered a cocktail which was a huge disappointment - firstly, it didn't even taste alcoholic, and it looked like a really sad mojito. It tasted more like soda water than anything else, and I could see the grains of sugar floating around and not mixed in properly. So be warned, this is not a place for cocktails even if they do seem like really good prices. I liked visiting this new south side place, I wish I had been able to see what Greek Golden Kebab was like before it closed but at least I know you can get a lot of food here for a pretty good price.
