Ziziki's...a Delicious Greek Experience!

Thanks to our Moroccan friend, we found a rather delicious Greek restaurant.  This was one of our weekly dinners with our friend who loves to eat and appreciates gourmet creations as much as we do.  The restaurant is pretty causal but the ambiance is very nice, you can still laugh and talk as normal, but still get that romantic dinner experience.

This restaurant has a pretty good wine and alcohol selection.  We actually ordered a bottle of wine this time since we were dining with our friend who enjoys good wine with his meals.  For a classy restaurant the price for a bottle of pretty good wine was reasonable.

 Of course, since we had an extra person...bonus!  We got to order more =)

We started our meal with Calamari, a Greek salad, and a Caprese.

The calamari was lightly breaded, tender, and well seasoned.  This was standard fare and done well. What was special was the sauce that came with it.  The yogurt sauce was light and tangy.  Perfect with the Calamari.  We decided to keep it with us for extra dipping.

The Greek salad was also what you would expect the ingredients of a Greek salad to be.  The sauce on the other hand was not the usual sour and briny Greek salad dressing.  The salad dressing they use was a yogurt base and good olive oil drizzled on top.  This was refreshing and tasty.

The Caprese was yummy.  We loved the reduced balsamic vinegar.  This gave it a tangy and sweet touch.  Nothing to complain about, good mozzarella, sweet tomatoes, greens on the bottom, and a sweet touch on top...definitely a good start!

Here come the entrees!  Lamb Souvlaki, Stuffed Lamb Loin, and Greek Paella.  Lets just say, they were all delicious!

The Lamb Souvlaki was moist lamb goodness.  You could really taste the flavor of the lamb.  The traditional garnish of olives, tomatoes, and onions paired really well.  The pita bread soaked up all the juicy lamb juice....it was YUM!

Our Greek Paella was gorgeous!  We loved the greek version made with Orzo, it gave it a fresh vibe.  This was a great dish, meats were good, flavored well, and all the components worked together.  The dish was not heavy at all, and you just wanted to keep going back for more.

The stuffed lamb was stunning.   Also a great lamb flavor, but this one is rolled with spinach, orzo, feta, garlic, and onions which made the lamb even more flavorful than normal.  The artichoke sauce was creamy, light, and tangy because it also had yogurt flare to it.  The garnish that came with it was the same as the ones in the Lamb Souvlakis which we were happy about.  Definitely something we will order again.

Well...our friend suggested dessert.  How can we say no to tiramisu?  So we didn't...we split one dessert.  This was perfect for us three though since we just feasted our way through the menu.  The tiramisu was velvety, rich, and satisfying.  What a great way to end a fantastic dinner and week!

Overall a delicious and happy experience!  We always love to have great friends with us for our weekly dinners.  We had great food, lots of laughter, and fantastic conversations.  This is just our way of ending and winding down the work week.  I am sure we will have lots more with him =)

We would rate this restaurant a 8.5/10 for creativity, flavor, atmosphere, and price.
