NEWS & NOTES
My Big Fat Greek Restaurant
Will Amaze You
OPA! For over a year now, My Big Fat Greek Restaurant has provided
its guests with one of the most unique dining experiences in Tucson.
From the moment customers enter the door, they are overwhelmed
with an enthusiastic staff, upbeat Greek music, live dancing, and of
course, the sound of broken plates in the background—OPA! After all
that, the food is nothing less than amazing.
While sitting down to have a drink, guests are offered a
variety of traditional Greek wines and beers, Ouzo, Metaxa, and
more. They will need it to wash down one of their two flaming
cheese appetizers—Flaming Saganaki and Flaming Feta—that
capture the eye of the dining room when they are lit. The menu
consists of all homemade Mediterranean cooked dishes prepared
with virgin olive oil, fresh ingredients, selected herbs, and just
the right amount of spices just like mom made it. Try the
Mousaka, Lamb Chops, and Stuffed Peppers and be blown away
by their flavorful tastes and huge portions.
My Big Fat Greek is definitely a place for family and friends
to go relax and escape the average everyday meal. With
excellent service, an entertaining atmosphere, and unbelievable
cooking, it’s a wonder the prices are still so affordable. Eat
hearty, healthy, and wise. OPA!
