I'm finally done with finals. Summer has officially begun! I'm off until summer classes start on May 24th, so it's time to bum around and eat. Here is a meal at Steve's, one of the few relatively cheaper options along Newbury. They serve a pretty good variety of Greek in a very casual atmosphere. They've been at their corner for a long time now, but this is actually the first time I went.
fried kalamari lightly buttered in lemon wine sauce - $7.45
gyro - homemade layers of marinated lamb and beef mixed with herbs and spices, with hot pita bread, tomatoes, onions, lettuce, and tzatziki sauce - $5.25
I guess the Greeks spell calamari with a K. It was pretty good, but maybe ever so slightly too fried. I was happy with the abundant tentacle pieces though - people don't usually give a lot of those. The accompanying tartar sauce was yummy. The gyro was quite overwhelming at first - it's stuffed to the absolute brim, and pretty much fell apart as soon as I tried to pick it up. It was pretty tasty, but I'm not sure if it was worth the difficulty of eating it. It was huge though and well worth the $5. I'll probably go back to Steve's at some point... they have a steak sandwich on their menu that I want to try.
