I have been a fan of Greek and Mediteranean food for awhile now. I look forward to both the Lebanese and Greek Food Festivals. While studying abroad in France, my lunch staple was falafel or gyros due to the fact that they were inexpensive, filling and delicious.

When Boulevardizen.com announced the opening of Basili’s Greek Restaurant , I knew I would have to check it out.

I decided to order the chicken gyro again as well as baklava – a Greek pastry made with phyllo dough, nuts and honey.While my food was being prepared, I talked with the cook and the owner. Both were very friendly and knowledgeable about Greek food and the Carytown area.

My sandwich exceeded all of my expectations – it was flavorful and satisfying. The generous serving of baklava was a sweet tasty treat that I was able to enjoy over the course of several days.
If you haven’t already, I highly recommend that you check out Basili’s Greek Restaurant at 3107 W. Cary Street in the old Carytown Seafood store.
