Mezetaki - Germiston

#Delayedpost What a breathe of fresh air. It 's been a while since I walked into a place where every staff member is friendly, upbeat and on the ball. Also it was as busy as hell that sunday, we were lucky to get a walk-in table. Our waitress Margaret was patient as we couldn 't decide on what to have. They didn 't have my favourite cocktail, but each time she walked past she suggested another drink, and i kindly replied no thanks

We often brunch at Mezetaki. Their yiros are wonderful (everything on the menu is if I’m honest). I also love their ice coffee. The service is cheerful and personal. The deli is also worth a visit. My hubby can’t resist their freshly baked breads.

Calamari Yiro 8.5/10 Calamari fresh and tasty, same goes for the yiro pita. Quite expensive, and it doesn 't come with a side. Chicken Prego 8/10 *Chips are fantastic! Meat great; spicy, to be expected i.e. not for kids/people sensitive to chili. Moussakka 6.5/10 Didn 't seem extremely fresh,not as to make one sick or inedible, but expected more from a Greek restaurant. Pork Souvlakia 8/10 Fresh, juicy; lacking a bit of salt. Would need at least 2 sticks to be a decent meal, again a bit over-priced then for what it is; if it was Lamb it would be understandable. Plain Burger 7.5/10 Quite pricey for what it is, nice meaty patty. Great chips again. Taramosalata Pita 7/10 I can only compare this to Pappas On The Square, their Tarama definitely tasted richer than Meze 's (seems the Roe content was higher at Pappas); Meze 's also tasted more acidic/tangy. Meze 's pita also of a slightly different consistency (thicker, less pliable and drier than Pappas). COFFEE (side biscuit is delightful btw) The Greek style coffee, Loumidis brand, was pleasantly interesting; naturally there is quite a bit of sediment at the bottom of the cup, so one has to let it settle and not drink all to the bottom. There was a sweet, medium and no sugar option. Preferred the no sugar, then added a quarter sugar stick and a dash of milk; after gently stirring must leave for sediment to settle before sip Americano coffee, Kimbo brand, seemed under extracted and not strong enough for my liking. R500 odd to buy 1kg bag of beans, way pricier than other good beans on the market. Service No complaints, manager/s walk the floor and seem to keep a tight ship.

One of the most authentic Greek restaurants I have been to. Great service, amazing food and well spaced out. Comes equipped with a little store onsite which is well stocked and full of authentic Greek items. Recommended.

Nice improvement since renovations which I believe was a little while back. Food was good and different and lovely outdoor space. Staff were helpful but did need to be asked once to assist. But good all round.
