Lashish the Greek

Lashish the Greek is a great little restaurant that has opened on the Northwest side, right off of 315, on Bethel RD. It features Greek and Mediterranean favorites, and serves halal. The restaurant itself mainly does catering, but there is also plenty of eating for a dine in option. The waiters were very nice, and the owner came out and greeted each table personally. It gave the restaurant a very homey, comfortable feel.

Their hummus was lemony and had a strong tahini taste, but in a good way. The bread it was served with was light and soft.

They had a great lemon chicken soup, with shredded chicken and vegetables. The flavor of the lemon was subtle but did wonders to brighten the soup.

Moussaka is a greek dish of layered eggplant, tomatos, beef, potatoes, and bechamel sauce. This moussaka was wonderful. The beef and tomato sauce was rich and flavorful, and the vegetables were cooked perfectly. I especially liked the seasonings of the beef sauce, it tied everything together. I recommend this ti anyone who hasn't had Greek food before.

For a slightly healthier dish, try the chicken lemonato. Its two pieces of chicken breast marinated in a lemony mix, then grilled. The grilled flavor was very tasty, and the chicken was very tender and flavorful. It was served with a really delicious rice pilaf, and steamed vegetables with a light, creamy sauce.

If you are more in the mood for an under the sea kinda meal, their lemon sole was excellent. I am a huge fan of this dish, and have talked about it on another post. My problem with finding really great dishes is that I keep going back and ordering the same thing.

This restaurant had great service, great food, and a very welcoming feel. Try it soon!
