Soulas Modern Greek Cuisine

Grilled Lamb Chops

Well-charred chops with a pink center, seasoned simply with lemon and oregano — the benchmark dish for any Danforth Greek restaurant

Saganaki

Flaming sheep's milk cheese with a crisp golden crust and molten interior, doused with lemon at the table

Tzatziki

Thick, garlicky yogurt dip with fresh dill — a reliable barometer of kitchen care, and a strong one here

Spanakopita

Flaky phyllo pastry packed with spinach and feta, baked until the layers shatter at the fork

Souvlaki

Marinated pork or chicken skewers with good caramelization and served with rice, vegetables, and pita

Moussaka

Layered eggplant and spiced ground meat topped with a thick béchamel that holds its shape when plated

Grilled Octopus

Charred tentacles with a tender bite, dressed simply with olive oil and capers — a modern Greek staple done well

Greek Salad

Large-cut tomatoes, cucumber, and kalamata olives topped with a thick slab of feta — depends entirely on tomato quality, which varies seasonally

Loukoumades

Fried honey-drenched dough balls dusted with cinnamon — the right note to end a mezze-heavy meal
