Taste of Greek

Location: 2nd & Oak - Stark
Type: Greek
Cost: $5.00
Food: Kafta sandwich
Wait: She told me it would take 4 minutes. It was sunny and I didn't mind the wait. However, now knowing I don't prefer kafta over gyro, I wouldn't wait again. The gyros came out very quickly.
Size: Good for my tummy, but you can get more for your money elsewhere. And leftovers are good.

Kafta is ground lamb formed into a patty. I wanted to try it. The sandwich came wrapped in foil and tucked inside a mini paperbag wrapper. It was pretty good, but there were some problems. The pita used to wrap the sandwich was too small, making it hard to pick up and eat. The sauce got very messy, particularly at the end. Not good for street food where you're eating off your lap, with restricted napkin quantity, etc. The paperbag came in handing for keeping sticky trash contianed. With Hush Hush so close to work, these guys don't stand a chance with me.

Summary:
Would go again if someone else wanted to? yes
Would take Dave there for a repeat visit? no
