has anyone ever been out to a resturant and the food you or some one didnt exactly look right or the way you imagined it to be??


food hygene is crucial but there are some that dont play by the books.


post your experiences.

thoughts and comments welcome.

I went out for dinner with my parents and aunty and uncle the other night and they got steak and the chips they had on the plate were all soggy and lifeless. My aunty complained and we got 2 free bowls of chips. hehe. I stuck to my usual food, pasta and i was very happy.

some friends and I went out one night and the cutlery on the table hadn't been washed properly, we just ended up leaving and going somewhere else.

This is why Australia pisses me off.

A few weeks ago, Xristina, her auntie and myself decided to go to Blackstump for dinner.

I myself have never been there, and since Xris loves her steaks, thought we'd give it a try.

Got to the Bankstown store at 8.45 on a Thursday night, and guess what.

it has closed for the night!!!!!

Why the fuck do they close so early?

Thank God for wogs and their 3am closing times for yeeros's and a few cafes.

I'm telling you people

PERICLES at EARLWOOD is fucking SHIT !!!

I swear any person I ask who has been there has said it's shit, and what's even more funnier is that you walk out of there and what do you smell?

SHIT


Good places though, The Greek Islands Taverna, adjacent to Pericles is quite nice, Mykonos on Crown, Steki Bar etc

the greek restaurants in cronulla are pretty bad, the food is average and the service is shite...
HBK
Well what do you expect?, it's Cronulla, White Australian Supremacist heartland

Not Earlwood, Marrickville, Belmore etc

well you'd think that if it was owned and operated by greeks then the food would be good but obviously not
HBK
I wouldn't

You think you can trust any dodgy Greek wog these days?

Just because they are Greek, doesn't mean the food is good

Mancini's Dulwich Hill - found food in my pasta, that was enough of a reason not to go again.

Greek tavern/resteraunt in general suck. Their my bad experiences.
Don't go to them at all.


If you wanna go to a resteraunt, go somewhere else.
The Greek Taverns/resteraunt's I've always been too are always scummy with food, like, instead of giving everyone their own plate, and eating your own meal, they always put a plate of food in the middle of the table where you have to put your fork in and eat from the same plate as everyone else and share the food. Gross. Greek taverns/resteraunts suck.
You'd be better off taking your family to Macca's.

so u'd rather go to a restaurant where they give u a ridiculously big plate and a small undercooked lamb cutlet in the middle with a few raw string beans and then charge you 60 bucks for it?

i love greek taverns (if the chef is decent of course, there are some shockers out there)

the food is plentiful and so tasty, if hygiene is the issue for you just ask for extra forks or spoons for each plate so you can place it into your own plate

can't they just give us our own plate to eat, the tightasses, when you go non Greek resteraunts or receptions, that's what generally happens, but since the Greek resteraunts are such tightasses, they give a plate in the middle, and everyone takes pickings from it... and than another plate after that, and than another plate.. ti les plentiful food? is that plentiful? lol
As for higene, people eat from their own fork, and than put their own fork in again and again, so when everyone already got their own fork, how can you ask for extra's forks for everyone? lol wink.gif

Not to mention that for some Christianing we went to a resteraunt, and don't get me wrong, I'm not tryina judge them or bag them but the 2 girl's sitting next to me were literal poutanes.. now you think i'd wanna share food with them? who knows what diseases they have....
Are Greek Resteraunts too scummy to give everyone their own meal in their own plate like you generally get with another Resteraunts or recpetions? or will it be too much food for them?

anyway, the generally for Christianing's or whatever where we had to unforteunely go to a Greek resteraunt, me and my sister ended up finding ourselves going to Macca's after to get something proper to eat.

EOKA, most Greek families have been eating like that for a while now, and I highly doubt that you would get sick eating this way, if you where to get sick, it would be due to the incorrect cooking of the food, rather than the sharing.

And it would have your lucky day having two 'poutanes' sitted next to you in the taverna, most of the work done for you Various_Artists-shifty.gif

u call maccas real food? i admit i eat it, but i dnt knw what im actually eating and i want it to stay that way! ud be surprised how unhygenic 14 year old acne faced nerds can be!
also did u hear about the guy who once found the skeleton of a rat in his big mac wink.gif

if u dnt like jst sharing a plate with someone we better not tell you about the cultures that sit on the floor and eat with their hands laugh.gif

and i am sure that if u went to a taverna and u asked for a fork to be on each plate they wouldn't say no, they want your money they'll give u as many forks as u like

dnt go saying they are tight arses because in tavernas thats how food is traditonally served, and yes the food is plentiful, i always find myself leaving a restuarant so full that i can barely move, how much more do you want?

lol, soz i didn't mean Macca's was real food, what was trying to say was that we had to go to Macca's after to eat so we could fill our stomach's propaly, as our stomach's weren't full after eating at the Greek restaraunt's. soz shoulda made it more clear laugh.gif

Nostos in Norton St Leichhardt is fantastic you can get their review at www.eatability.com.au , which will give you other Greek Restaurants.
Leichhardt will become the next Greek area in Sydney now that Mythos and Universale Hotel will hold Greek Nights. This is great for the young people who need to meet other good Greek girls from Soy...

Absolutely Agree
Nostos is TOPS!!!!!!
