It was only two weeks ago that I finally plucked up the courage to walk into this little greek restaurant in Enschede during one of my shopping visit. First problem. What language should I speak to him with? Netherlander? This restaurant is in Netherland after all BUT I don´t know a single word! Hmm ... I do but not when it comes to ordering food and asking for more!
Greek? Sure they understand but me???!!!... arggggg.
German? This I can but will they understand me?
But guess what, they can all speak English! Hahaha! I should have walked in here longgggg time ago!
Anyway, second problem ... what should a first timer like me order?
For a start, I ordered a glass of Cassis, which I initially thought were a specialty of Greek since it sounded Greekish ... but later realise that its of french origin! Not surprising, this blackcurrant, carbonated drink is easy to drink and nice.
The Souvlaki came hot from the skewer, and tasted tender and well marinated with greek species. It reminded me a bit of middle eastern style marinate with heavy spice mix. In the platter were chunks of Gyros, roasted meat which they served with Tzatziki sauce and garnish with slices of onions. If that´s not enough to make you full, it came with Pita bread and a large portion of french fries.
The fries were forgettable but everything elese on the platter were delicious and fresh tasting.
Not bad overall and I guess I´m game for more next time.
