Greek Food Demystified

YIRO:

A yiro is almost like a meat kebab or shawarma (but better). Choose between mouth-watering meat or chicken or vegetarian options such as halloumi or falafel. At Mythos, it is served with tzatziki, tomato, red onion, and a side of fresh-cut chips. If you can’t choose, why not order “The Three Greeks” which consists of three mini yiros (beef, chicken, and halloumi)?

MEZE:

The word meze means a taste or a bite. It is used to describe small plates of savoury snacks.

SOUVLAKI:

Souvlaki consists of large pieces of meat cooked on a long skewer, over a charcoal barbecue. At Mythos, we cut these into cubes and serve them with fresh chips, tzatziki, & pita bread.

MOUSSAKA:

A traditional Greek dish made with layers of brinjal, potatoes, beef mince, and béchamel sauce. Also available in a vegetarian option.

PASTITSIO:

Pastitsio is another traditional Greek dish, made with layers of macaroni, beef mince, and cheese. It is topped with béchamel sauce and then baked in the oven.

EKMEK KATAIFI:

A traditional Greek dessert perfect for a person with a sweet tooth! Layered kataifi pastry with walnuts, almonds, and pecan nuts, and topped with fresh homemade custard and whipped cream. 

TZATZIKI:

If you’re like us, you can’t get enough of tzatziki! Whether it is served with a pita, part of a mouthwatering yiro, or accompanied on a calamari or seafood platter, tzatziki is one of the things we love most about Greek cuisine! Home-style Greek yoghurt combined with grated cucumber and a hint of garlic – be sure to order a side of this delicious dip next time you’re at Mythos.
