Unsatisfactory lamb Kleftico lamb food at this restaurant: poor unappetizing kleftico dinner<br/>
By freechoice of Burnaby (1 Review)<br/><br/>Submitted Wednesday, September 18, 2013 - 12:02am [Dine in]<br/><br/>Hi everyone... I and my two sons ate here today and had the worst food that a greek<br/><br/>restaurant serves... This restaurant is in the Entertainment book coupon so its two for one and that may explain why the food we selected on the menu was terrible...<br/><br/>first the calmari and greek salad was satisfactory but when we order our favourite greek lamb kleftico (which is the shoulder lamb) to our dismay its was a dish with scraps of lamb meat , pile of rice and half of a potato... We have been to many many Greek restaurants in the Vancouver area and always order the Kleftico which is a large roasted lamb shoulder with all the trimmings bones etc.. and very juicy BUT<br/><br/>at this restaurant the dish as noted had dried lamb mashed meat scraps with rice and one small potatoe...I can assure you that we did went to this restaurant before and had the juicy bone large shoulder lamb...so I think this restaurant is cutting corners and serving poor unappetizing kleftico as note here...scraps of mashed meat...<br/><br/>When I ask the waitress whats this and where is the juice shoulder lamb with the bones she said that the meat falls off the bones and they dish it out... I say that portion control and dries out the meat....<br/><br/>I will not recommend this restaurant and certainly for 17.00 a plate of lamb scraps on rice is not what I envision of a Kleftico shoulder of lamb....<br/><br/>There are other greek restaurants in town that served the traditional lamb Kleftico...<br/><br/>The lamb scraps on the dish were so unappetizing and dried up I just told them to box it and take it home ....did not enjoy eating here<br/><br/>freechoice<br/><br/>ps The waitress was very polite ,helpful and courteous under the circumstance of poor food being served
