greek food and beyond situated at db mall has now been shifted away from the main food court area and is now exactly beside pind balluchi.
a cute little outlet which ports you to santorini with its pretty and soothing blue and white colour scheme. especially the floral printed seat covers are extremely pretty. staff is courteous. their menu is quiet extensive and can land you in a confused state as to what to eat and what not.
we ordered for:
blueberry brain freezer- blueberries/blueberry flavour blended well with banana, milk and vanilla ice cream was quiet refreshing and soothing for the taste buds. bananas give a slight hint and doesn't steal the show. the smoothie is topped with whipped cream. though a little on the sweeter side, i felt that sweetness could be reduced a little.
fudge brownie shake- their homemade brownie is churned well with vanilla ice cream. it's a mix of bitter and sweet taste. the brownie pieces are soft, and even from those crumbled pieces one could taste the chocolaty brownie.
falafel pita wrap- their home made falafels are wrapped in a pita bread accompanied with tomatoes, red onions and lettuce. served with hummus and french fries. well the falafels were amazing. also, for the first time i tasted falafels with coriander seeds, and trust me they were brilliant. the hummus was extremely scrumptious and i tried experimenting and having it with french fries. that also tasted well. the pita bread though being soft, perfect and properly layered had immense dried flour over it. holding it after taking it out from the paper wrap gave flour dust on your fingers.
smoked chicken and leek soup- it's basically a bodoed broth, quite thick and creamy in texture. tasty and soothing for your throat. the chicken pieces tasted well but could have been smoked more. the broth also contained a hint of garlic, not strong enough but also not that mild. leek is basically a plant and the edible part is the sheaths or the stalk. leek trends to have a very subtle taste and blends well with anything which is bland in taste. and it tasted well in the soup.
gfb grilled fish- the fish was grilled quite well and served with the special white sauce, mashed potatoes and salad which consists of zucchini and carrots in lime juice and spices. the fish tasted well, though a little bit of salt could have been added to it.
greek roast chicken- served with mashed potatoes and salad again. this was the show stopper. this dish completely took our hearts away. the chicken is well marinated in lemon, oregano, basil, pepper and roasted till perfection. honestly, this is one platter for which i will be visiting gfb again and again. and i would recommend you to also have it as it's a must try.
on the whole, a pretty little place to sit and have fun and chats with your closed ones and make yourself feel happy about having an amazing meal. that smile of having a satisfactory and yummy meal stays on your face for long.
