Greeka Kouzina

Ive been passing by this area for year but havent got the chance to dine here coz parking is always full. One evening we tried to dine at its adjacent chinese resto but it closes too early so we walk towards this place and finally got to try this one out.

Order their calamari salad, which was really good esp with the cheese used, i guess it was goat cheese. A must for salad.

Braised Lamb that is cooked for 5 hours with spinach rice and cheese deserved 5 stars. This 3 pcs lamb is good for 4 pax.

All the dishes here are of huge serving, nearby table was gasping with the amount if food theyve just order and ended up taking out half of it. So its a misconception that salad, gyros and lamb wont be enough for dinner.

My only complain and almost gave this 3 stars coz they need todo something with the mosquitos, a real bugger for this dinner.

I really loved the Roast lamb with spinach rice. We also had a Tomato hummus, which was also very good.

Greeka Kouzina serves one of the closest taste to Greek cuisine. This resto has very eye-catching interiors, the most notable of which are the glass lamps of various colors hanging from the ceiling. The effect is very happy and festive.

Greeka Baby Back Ribs (Php 640)
Fall of the bone tender, this huge slab was smokey and sweet. It lacked a little spice, but the marinade was spot-on. Definitely a must for the carnivore. You'll be licking those bones clean.

Greek Caesar Salad (Php 490)
They also have a fine salad selection specifically the traditional, which is actually quite big and filling in the best possible way because it is served with greek yogurt and is actually fat free!

Our side dish was Moussaka (Php 220), it was cheesy and savory and soft. I don't eat eggplants but I'll order this again!

The prices were a bit on the expensive side but the portion size here are huge and great for sharing. The food is really delicious. The interior is also very cosy and very nice. This is definitely on top of my list for yummy Mediterranean food.

lamb burger

Best greek food in manila... highky recommenf the roast lamb and calamari

I ordered a whole lot for our family lunch last week. The assortment of salads, calamari, pita with hummus and some eggplant dip were all hit appetizers!!! Everything was superb but gotta say that the LAMB SHOULDER WAS THE STAR OF THE SHOW. I got one order to begin with, together with other meat main dishes, including chicken, slow-roast lamb, salmon, plus the side dishes. The best side dish for me was the spinach rice. But the LAMB SHOULDER was such a hit to everyone, we had to order TWO MORE ORDERS!!! A hit to the oldies and the kids!

The only thing my lolo and my cousin saw that was lacking was soup. They don't serve soup huhu. And the baklava was too sweet... the syrup it came with at least.

Definitely coming back for the LAMB SHOULDER! And just a side kwento, Greeka Kouzina was where my boyfriend took me for our first date and I am so happy that every time I go here I find myself loving it more and more each visit. Hehe I hope he takes me here for our 1st anniversary again hehehe

We went here during dinner time with my boyfriend. It was jam-packed that time. Their place was secluded and it's a hole in wall. Also, it has a Greek-y style setting and has dim lights which is relaxing and kinda romantic.

We ordered their Hummus, Gyros, Souvlaki, Greek Pita and Greek Salad. We also try their Greeka Iced Tea. (Yes, we always order a lot lol.) I can say all of them were great and they have a HUGE servings. Their foods were so authentic and delish. Their Greek Salad was so mouthwatering and has so many ingredients. Their meat were so tender also for the Gyros and Souvlaki. Greek Pita has combination of veggies and feta cheese. Hummus were good.

It was worth the price because of their quality and good foods. We only spent like 1000+ which is just right for their servings etc. plus we had to take out some of the foods.

Cravings satisfied. Been wanting to try this for a long time. Ordered beef gyros and it did not disappoint! Well, meh for the dip tho. ️

Melitzanosalata (eggplant dip)-
The taste of the dip was interesting. it was a smoky, sour and creamy and it went well with the pita bread. I even asked for more bread 'cause I loved the bread more than the dip

Kalamari Tiganito
This dish was forgettable, just the usual calamari you get to see in restos. The calamari wasn't crunchy. We were just so hungry that we were able to finish this dish. =))

Arni Lemonato- Roast Lamb
All of us loved this dish.The lamb was very tender and true to its description, "falls off the bone".

Vegetable Pesto Pasta
We had to follow this order up two times because we thought they might have forgotten it already. Considering that there was only one occupied table other than us in this restaurant, we found it odd that the pasta took so long to cook. I guess it was worth the wait 'cause the pasta was really delicious. The watercress was a good addition to the usual pesto pasta.

Spanish Rice
I'm not really much of a rice person but this was also delicious according to my friends who tried this.

Greeka Yogurt
Greek yogurt topped with pistachios on a bed of honey I loved this dessert although I would appreciate it more if they separated the honey 'cause I like my yogurt more tangy and less sweet.

Baklava
Not really a fan of this dessert. It was like a less sweeter version of the Filipino "biko" with nuts and served with greek yogurt.

The brewed coffee wasn't in the menu but we were able to ask for it it was also okay.

The parking at this restaurant is really bad. For a Tuesday, the parking was crowded. We were just lucky that an empty spot awaited us as we arrived at the restaurant. There was only one occupied table when we dined here but the servers were not that attentive.

Budget per person: P 400-500.00

Overall:

Fig Roka Salata, Roka Shrimp Pasta, Beef Gyro. Just three dishes and the first time that we had the place for ourselves. It was already 9pm when we got there but they welcomed us in anyway. I asked if they will still let us stay and they smiled and said yes. The other patrons were just 2 guys eating their greens. What a total opposite from the last time I visited! Peace and quiet for tonight. Hallelujah!

3. 2. 1.

The fun ended there. After the silence, our ordered dishes came in one by one. My friend noticed that the arugula had a bitter punch with it. Definitely not the Fig Roka Salata I ate before! That one was a dream in salad form. This one's a nightmare. The greens looked a little wilted but we were not sure if it was because of the vinaigrette. It's not parmesan cheese and there was the tricky arugula. In summary, the Fig Roka Salata was a HUGE letdown, even my mom who ate my takeaway didn't like it! Napahiya ako in my recommendation because it was really good before!!! Cry. People change, apparently even salads.

Next is the Beef Gyro. She said the beef was nice and tasty but the lemon they used was more dry than the sun-dried tomatoes. Read: probably not fresh.

Last is the Roka Pasta. I tasted it and liked it! And then I mixed the whole dish with the not-bitter arugula and feta cheese. Tadah!!! After mixing everything, the dish became salty! WHY. WHYYYYYYYY?!?!

How about the service? I had to wave my hand and say "excuse me!!" aloud multiple times even though there were only 2 freaking tables with customers. There's probably a treasure at the back because no one wanted to look after the diners seated in front, and I'm not even that needy to servers. I just want tissue, water, and someone who will be there for me. #NotNeedy

Horror Summary:
Price - because it was disappointing tonight
Food - because it was disappointing tonight
Parking - because it was heaven-sent tonight
Service - can we just call it a night already?

I liked it.

Went to their branch in San Juan with my sister and dad. Upon entering, we were welcomed by the colorful lamps giving the place a warm and inviting vibe..staff also gave us a friendly welcome and accompanied us to our table. We ordered my dad's usual which was Fig Roka Salata and roasted lamb accompanied with our choice of siding, Moussaka.

The salad was indeed delicious and really huge, the three of us couldn't finish the whole thing, the sweetness of the figs were balanced out with the saltiness of the shaved Parmesan cheese. The roasted lamb was definitely tender, it didn't have that 'gamey' aftertaste which some people usually say about lamb. Although for me, the moussaka wasn't really fantastic, I have tasted better moussaka in other places. But overall, I must say food was worth the price :)

Parking is a problem. good thing they have valet service!

Their food are good, ordered a bunch of appetizers and entrees. Service is fast, friendly and alert service crew.

I liked it.

A trip to Greeka Kouzina's always a treat. Big servings, big flavors, and quality ingredients that won't break the bank.

The usuals were on the table: fig Roka salata, roast lamb, gyros, the whole shebang! Some new discoveries from this visit:

The pork chops - I usually have low expectations when it comes to pork chops. I always expect them to be dry and bland. Not this one though. 2 huge pieces good for sharing (like all their dishes).

Greeka Poutine (side) - they're basically fries in gravy but this was a sleeper hit at our table.. We ordered a second round!

Love how they solved the parking problem by offering a free valet service. Good job!

This Greek resto may not exactly be one of my top Mediterranean choices, but this one's for keeps. Good service and fairly priced foods are one of the reasons why I may come here soon.

Felt like eating Greek cuisine yesterday. Tried Greeka Kouzina for the first time. Had the Spinach Artichoke dip (P295) and Fig Arugula Salad (P480) for appetizer. The salad itself would make you full. Cheese was just unforgettable and dressing just perfect. One would appreciate as every bite has been devoured. The size was like a mountain, which probably can feed 4-5 people. Grilled chicken (P455) was good. Spinach pasta (P195) and Roast Lamb (P680) complimented each other. The picture on this review just cannot do justice with how tasty the dish was, especially with the sauces. Place was medium sized but haven't seen the 2nd floor so can't tell how spacious the space really is. Staff were attentive enough. The TV experience could have been better since a movie a played but without sound. Truly one of the best Greek dining experience. Parking was not even an issue since the guard was very helpful. Definitely going back for more when time persists if this critic craves for Greek cuisine. It maybe a bit pricy considering the place wasn't that fancy or waiters weren't beside the tables like Melo's, the food and servings explains the logic.

Lunch with my gf...

Arni lemonata ( roast lamp )
I'm not into lamp , but this dish is so delicious , it melts in ur mouth literally, I don't even need my knife to slice into it .. Perfect texture & the serving is good for sharing(2-3) with moussaka ( grilled eggplant topped with beef and cheese) not my type but good that Moira D loves it.. Yuck... Looool...all at P600+ Only.. So it's good value for money .
Ambience is clean & minimal with the use of the typical greek colorful drop lights .

Servers friendly & service is fast

I liked it.

I loved it.
