Back in Germany in early August, the first big occasion that happened to come our way was our 5th wedding anniversary (phew!.. we made it!). Our simple plan was a quite dinner at a fine place, that was also kid friendly. We zeroed in on a Greek restaurant- AGRO, situated a few miles from our home. Now, Greek cuisine is literally Greek! and Latin to us!. But we wanted to savor a few delicacies of a different kind.
Before we went, we did a little research online as to what to order and what each term means. The names are all tongue twisters!. Tzatziki!, taramasalata!, melitzanosalata!.. it seems that there was a lot we wanted to try out!.
In the restaurant, we were served by the English speaking waitress, who helped select our meal and wine, and it was not at all disappointing!. We started off with an assortment of starters- grilled meat and vegetables with a variety of sauces. Tzatzitki was too plain for us- Indian raita is nicer!. But the taramasalata was supreme!. Supposedly made from fish eggs, it was something anyone in a Greek resto should order!. Next came the Greek salad with some amazing dressing that I couldn't get enough of the salad!. We were nearly full by now and main course was still to come!.
Main course was souvlaki for my husband and moussaka for me. Souvlaki was essentially grilled meat served on a skewer with rice/pommes and salad. Moussaka is a layered, cheesy baked dish made with eggplants!. They were both excellent but the size and stuff of the previous servings was too much already!. I could only nibble at my dish!.
So will I go Greek again? Yes! but next time I will stick to one course only!. You can't have a five course meal in a Greek eat-out!.
