Quick Post: Greeka Kouzina - A Mediterranean Feast in Manila

Looks and feels like having dinner at a Greek Taverna when you're really in SM Aura.

Being the gluttons that we are, we decided to try a couple of things on the menu. We were surprised by the generous portions and ended up eating way too much for just two people.

Appetizer: Pita and Tatziki (P165)

We started off with Pita and Tzatziki/Tatziki which is my favorite dip. Tatziki is made from cucumber, greek yogurt and olive oil (and served cold). If that makes you cringe, I suggest you set your assumptions aside and try it out first because it is delicious. Greeka Kouzina's pita bread is thick (just the way I like it!) so I ended up eating more than half of my share.

Salad: Fig Arugula Salad (P480)
A Greek meal isn't complete without a salad. The serving size for this one is good for 3 - 4 people. Suffice it to say, we weren't able to finish it off, but I ate all the figs and all the cheese.

Fig Arugula Salad: Sweet Figs, Walnuts, Sun dried tomatoes on a bed of Arugula and mixed greens

Main: Lamb Shoulder with a siding of Moussaka (P580)
The lamb shoulder is served with (what I assumed was) lemon butter sauce and your choice of siding. We chose the Moussaka which is grilled eggplant with beef tomato sauce and bechamel (A bit similar to lasagna but instead of pasta, it uses eggplant)

Total damage: Around 600 per person + an hour of boxing to burn all those yummy calories.

Not that hungry or working with a budget?
Try the Gyros and you can opt to add a siding.
