Last friday night we went to Petra Tou Romiou, we got a Scoopon deal and then read the reviews... The reviews are pretty bad but we had paid the money so we went anyway. It said it was a buffet but it was more of a set menu.
I started my meal with a greek Amstel and i didn't even know that existed and it was really tasty, not what i expected.
For starters we had Pita bread and a mix of dips Tzatziki, Tarama, Eggplant and capsicum
It was very fresh and tasty we ordered more pita as it was not enough.
We had some Saganaki and that is sheep cheese with lemon. I am not a huge fan of cheese but i really liked it. It needed the lemon as it changed the flavour completely
The meat Platter had a sausage, beef and chicken some rissoles and chips It was fresh and tasty I really enjoyed the rissoles.
The seafood platter has a bit of everything, prawns, shrimps, octopus and again we were not disappointed. It was cooked well and not overdone
.
For desert i had Baklava with almonds in it with fresh ice cream.
What goes better with Baklava some greek / turkish coffee
It was a great night and we would happily go back again.

This all looks yum! I think that it is great that you went against the reviews and tried the place anyway. I feel like there are a few places that I love that people write nasty reviews for sometimes. But how can you not like cheese?? ;)
ReplyDeleteindeed, except the meat platter looks a little sparse
ReplyDeleteMmm! Those first two dishes are my favorites.
ReplyDeleteWith the scoopon for 2- you get one of those meat platter to share between 2 people and the full price of that ''platter'' is ultra expensive. Glad you had a good experience but I would still not recommend that place to anyone.
ReplyDeleteIf it was not for the scoopon we would have never had gone there but since i have gone to the munich brauhaus, I feel like it was sparse but it was tasty
DeleteCheck out Tiba's on sydney road (if you don't know them)- much cheaper/bigger portion sizes and the food is delicious :)
