Daily trays of whatever Nikoleta felt like making: pastitsio on Tuesday, giouvetsi on Thursday, briam all week. Come early, because when a tray is gone, it's gone.
Sample listingSouvlaki & Grill
Fishtown, Philadelphia, PAPork souvlaki, thick-cut fries
A counter-service psistaria that does three things and does them properly: pork skewers off the grill, pita that's been on the flat-top just long enough, and fries finished with oregano and grated mizithra.

A narrow dining room built around a long marble bar and a short menu of Aegean seafood. The octopus is braised, then charred hard; order it with the fava and a carafe of white from Santorini.
