The Upper West Side of Metro Phoenix has a New Restaurant Opening with Greek Palace…..OPA!……This is a full service Mediterranean Restaurant. The atmosphere is airy modern with some Greek accents.

We ordered and the first thing that comes out are freshly made Greek Salads that are part of our lunch platters.

Next comes out our Combo Appetizer.

We received creamy Hummus, smoky Baba Ghanouj, lemon-ee Domas, Falafels, Tzatziki Sauce, (ultra garlic) Tahini Sauce and Lots of Warm Pita Bread.

The falafels are on the dense side and not so herby……but they taste fresh made and have a nice chick pea flavor.

Then our lunch platters arrive. I got the Chicken Kabob Platter.

I received juicy slightly charred marinated chunks of chicken breast, yellow basmati rice, grilled tomato, pepper and onion, tzatziki and more pita bread. All is A-OK here! I should note that the menu description differed slightly for the platters and reads Greek Pickles and Turnips instead of the Grilled Vegetables…..Our waiter explained that is due to the soft opening and they weren’t able to get them in………

My husband tried what is named the Fire Fighter Platter.

He received a plate of thin seasoned beef and lamb that was charbroiled on a vertical skewer, grilled onions, tomato, pepper, hot peppers (that might be giardiniera), yellow basmati rice, tzatziki and warm pita bread. The meat is moist and flavorful all is good here too!

Portions were large and we had leftovers to pack up…..

If in the area you might consider giving Greek Place in Peoria a try!
