Ouzo And Feta - Huntington Beach

We just discovered two spreads that are so delicious! Eggplant spread and the Fiery Feta. What a great appetizer on a toasted pita bread coupled with a nice Greek white wine. Great way to start a meal. So many choices here to choose from but it will now be part of my entrees.Food: 5/5

Years ago, I used to enjoy dining at a little Greek restaurant in Costa Mesa. Great food and reasonable prices. Then, unfortunately, it went out of business. Since then, I 've been looking for something similar, but I 've never quite found a worthy replacement. It was either Greek-style fast food or Greek-inspired fusion restaurants. And I was really not looking for anything particularly fancy, just a good Souvlaki, Gyro, Moussaka etc. Finally, I found Ouzo and Feta in HB, and it 's really a great place for Greek food. The chicken is excellent (plump and juicy), the Gyro meat is good and not too dry, the portions are satisfying, the homemade Tsatziki tastes right etc. And the prices are reasonable. Service is reasonably fast and corteous. Oh, and the homemade Baklava also deserves to be mentioned: delicious!

From the moment we walked in we smelled a very strong bleach from the kitchen which is right behind the bar. The bar is no more than a couple of feet from the tables as this is a small place. This was about 7 pm on a Friday. No restaurant cleans on a Friday night at 7:00 PM so we didn’t know what they were doing in the kitchen with that strong bleach next to the food. The smell never went away all night. The food was lukewarm and staled, it was pre-cooked. We had ordered a few different things and they were all greasy and tasteless. I love Greek food but this was not real Greek food. I now understand why there were only three tables occupied on a Friday night. That and the bad food and the bleach. I will now go back to this place.
