THE FAT GREEK

BEST FOR A fun time with close friends. FOOD All the Greek favourites are here, immaculately prepared and packed with flavour. The mezze platters are good value: garlicky tzatziki, creamy hummus, home-made dolmades, tiny meat balls, fried halloumi, and crisp calamari tops and tails make up a feast. Go on to excellent moussaka with the creamiest béchamel topping in town, or try the gyros (beef or chicken) – pita pockets packed with succulent pieces of meat bathed in tzatziki, with cucumber, tomato and red onion to give it crunch. If you want something more substantial, there are prawn, kingklip, and sardine dishes, grills and a great lamb shank. End with home-made baklava. DRINKS Small but well-priced list of some local favourites to please most palates. SERVICE Smiling, smooth and snappy. AMBIENCE Colourful chairs on the wall, a trellised ceiling and an open kitchen create a welcoming feeling at this popular neighbourhood eatery. (GL)
