Chicken Souvlaki at Urban Greek

I am often in the area of City Centre, and wanted to try Urban Greek on the recommendation of a friend. However, whenever I am around the line up is so long that I don't have time to wait. Until last week - I was able to quickly place an order and get one of the few tables available. I had the chicken souvlaki entree, which came with two sides. I chose rice pilaf and Greek potatoes. The rice was nicely done with vegetables, but the roasted potatoes ruled the plate: perfectly cooked with garlic tzatziki sauce on top. The one skewer of chicken was densely packed and seasoned to perfection, with yet more tzatziki on the side for dipping. Fast, reasonably priced, and delicious - I will be back, if I can beat the line up!

Taste of Edmonton 2011 #6 - Chicken Souvlaki

Hot, simple, and delicious, this chicken souvlaki from It's All Greek to Me was quite memorable. The spices were perfect, giving the chicken flavour without being overpowering. The buttered crusty bread on the side was a nice touch. I definitely wanted another skewer when I was done - but I controlled myself.
