I grew up in a predominately Greek neighborhood in Chicago which started my love affair with Mediterranean cuisine. Since moving to California, I’ve been on a hunt for Greek Greek food, particularly: avgolemono soup, a classic fresh Greek salad, and saganaki. All of those things are here and while I’ve yet to try the flaming cheese at this location, the lemon chicken soup snaps so hard. It’s been perfectly executed with silky tempered eggs, the perfect amount of citrus, and a speckling of dried chicken bits. I feel at home here and will make this my go-to Greek spot, especially during this time of the year when Greek penecilin is essential. Unfortunately the soup disappeared before I thought of writing this review and taking a photo but it’s not about the photo when it comes to that soul-saving soup 😵‍💫
