And the baklava was chosen to replace the deep fried donuts. This was my first time trying the baklava, and it was really nice! The sweetness was not too cloying, and I enjoyed the way the phyllo pastry crumbled in my mouth. I had expected the pistachios and walnuts to be too chunky, but they were chopped such that it wasn't too much of a hassle to chew. Overall, this was a good first experience for baklava!
We had high hopes for this dish, but we're sadly let down by the somewhat bitter taste in the donuts. We aren't sure what it was, but the waiter suggested it was the cinnamon sprinkled on top. Nonetheless, great service recovery! The restaurant removed the dish from our bill, and offered us the choice of a new dessert!
This was the Greek stuffed squid: grilled, and stuffed with feta, spinach, parsley and black-eyed beans.
I enjoyed this dish very much. The feta did not overpower the taste of the whole dish, which lent it a more-ish flavour. For pregnant ladies, fret not about the use of feta cheese; the waiter reassured me that the cheeses used in the restaurant are all pasteurised, so it's safe for consumption!
This is the Dolmadakia, a dish of baldo rice and pine nuts wrapped in vine leaves, served with a yogurt dip.
The taste was slightly sour, courtesy of the lemon which was not really to my taste. But the rice was nicely cooked and had a sticky texture that went well with the dip.
