Going Greek at Greeka Kouzina, SM Aura Taguig, Philippines

This place has been in our sights since our badminton days, we just hadn't had a chance to try them out. When they opened a branch in SM Aura, we took it as a sign. 

I'll admit, I'm not a fan of Greek cuisine. Ask me to name Greek dishes & all I'm able to come up with is Moussaka and that's thanks to Vilma Santos' funny pronunciation in In My Life. ;) So it's safe to say that Greeka Kouzina is my first foray to going Greek. 

Shall we see what they have to offer?

Pretty Lights 

Greek Ceasar Salad (Php 350) Add Fried Kalamari (Php 185)
This was HUGE! Definitely for sharing. The fresh romaines coupled with olives, calamari, bacon bits and slivers of cheese all topped with Greek yogurt; this served as a nice starter for our meal. 

Arni Lemonato / Roast Lamb (Php 610)
The in-laws were raving about this one so this had to be in our table. This was two pieces of 5-hour roasted lamb that simply falls off the bone & served with greek roasted potatoes and sauces (Gravy & Lemon-Mint). FS Verdict? This was absolute YUM! Tender, juciy lamb that slides off the bone? Who can say no to that?! Dip this in the gravy and you're really in for a treat. ;9

Lamb Ragu 
Greeka entrees comes with one choice of siding and we went with this. Tender lamb, olives & tomatoes mixed with red wine & pasta. FS Verdict? Not bad. 


Paidakia / Lamb Cutlets (Php 595)
Its starting to look like we were on an "all-lamb rampage" but that wasn't our intention. ;) This was pieces of lamb cut into portions for easier eating. Although this tasted good, serving size is disappointing. This would've been better as an appetizer instead. 

Greeka Patates Tiganites / Greek Poutine
This was fries topped with feta cheese & Greeka gravy. Sounds so simple yet tastes so good.. ;) 

FS Verdict? My first foray to Greek cuisine was a success thanks to Greeka Kouzina. You're now on our go-to list. ;9
