After years of successfully operating fast casual Mediterranean kiosks downtown,Maria Kaimakis and Vassos Yiannouris opened up a full service restaurant in Roland Park. Cypriana has been open just over a year serving all of the menu favorites and more. I had the chance to visit earlier this week […]
One of Mount Vernon’s newest spots, Cafe Fili has become one of my go-tos recently. The Mediterranean inspired cafe has plenty of dishes that always hit the spot. Recently, my Girlfriend and I stopped in for a weekend lunch and as usual, were blown away by the flavors […]
I love a good gyro. Airy pita, creamy tzatziki, and tons of freshly sliced lamb. Recently, my coworker walked pretty far for lunch just to track down the B’more Greek food truck. She raved about her meal for days so I knew the next time it was in the […]
