New Parthenon

Whenever we go to Greektown I know I'm going to have a great dinner. I am never disappointed in Greektown regardless of what restaurant we go to. However, for this blog I am going to talk about the restaurant, New Parthenon. New Parthenon is obviously in Greektown on Monroe Street. They are averagely priced, not too pricey at all. They are also open from 11:00am to 3:00am which is convenient! I recently found out that there is a New Parthenon located in West Bloomfield as well. I haven't been there since Mother's Day 2013 so the next time I go it will be a treat for sure. Inside they have paintings on the walls which gives the place a different look.
I usually get the same thing every time because I don't go out of the box when it comes to ordering meals. For appetizers I always get Saganaki or "Opa!" as many people call it. This is a must when you go to New Parthenon. I am not a big fan of cheese but I make an exception for Saganaki. It's just too good to not eat! I usually squirt tons of lemon on mine because I like the extra flavor it gives it. I get one for myself and so does my brother. My parents normally split one. Sometimes we get the fried calamari, but we usually save that for when we go to an Italian restaurant. By the time I'm done eating my Saganaki and the endless amount of bread, I'm full. I hate when that happens because then I'll barely touch my dinner! For dinner, I either get the Chicken Gyro Sandwich or Fettuccine Alfredo. My brother always gives me a hard time when I order the Fettuccine Alfredo because it's not a Greek dish.
All of their desserts are homemade and they are pretty yummy. I get their rice pudding or ice cream. I've loved ice cream since I was a child. I'll always have a sweet tooth for ice cream. I definitely recommend this restaurant to people who have never been here before although I'm sure a lot of people have.
