Eat Grk - Beverly Hills

For as long as I remember, Beverly Hills has always been a bit of a hub for food, especially in the south. That said though, most of your options were Asian so if you didn't feel very oriental that day, you wouldn't have had a very good time.

Luckily for us, there's been a recent resurgence of other great food vendors, in particular Greek restaurants. One of these is Eat Grk which the Mrs and I decided to visit on Friday night. Being so close to the cinema, it made for a perfect pre-movie dinner option and parking wasn't bad either. They are regularly very busy however the staff there never seem to lose their smiles despite the frantic pace, something that always makes a dining experience so much better.

The first of our dishes to arrive was the Souvlaki. We decided it would be best to order one of each type of meat (Chicken, Pork and Lamb) so that we could try a little of each. While the chicken was juicy, tender and flavoured well...the other meats were a little bit tougher. That said, this is only in comparison to the other meat dish we ordered, the Souvla.

The Souvla was meat that has been charcoal grilled on the rotisserie and cut to order. We decided to order lamb which was rare for us as neither one of us likes lamb all too much, however this place really does it well. It's perfectly charred on the outside yet so deliciously tender, you'd almost think this was stewed meat.

With the platter that we ordered, we also got a whole lot of pita bread, dips and Greek sausages AND haloumi! The sausages were amazing in texture and surprising in flavour, it isn't something I've ever had the opportunity of eating so it was a really wonderful experience for me. The Tzatziki had to be one of the BEST we've had, the Mrs could have just had that and pita bread all night.

After finishing half of our food, we had come to the realisation that we may have ordered too much food. Which was disappointing because I really wanted to polish off the feta chips. We've had feta chips before from other Greek places in the area but Eat Grk definitely does it best. Those dry, crumbly bits of feta paired with the well seasoned chips made for a wonderful accompaniment to the abundant amounts of meat we had.

I always loved eating out at Beverly Hills but now that Eat Grk has opened, I've gotten so much more reason to love the place even more. Lets hope that this trend continues and more delectable options open up.
