Turkish feast + hookah night in the Gaslamp…read more Euphoria brings together vibrant, stylish lounge energy with Mediterranean and Turkish flavors, and there was SO much to try. First up, their Turkish Breakfast, served ALL DAY, with Menemen as our egg choice. If you've never had Menemen, it's such a delicious combo: soft scrambled eggs cooked with tomatoes, green peppers, onions, warm spices and olive oil. The full breakfast spread comes loaded with cheeses, olives, sucuk, jams, honey, tahini, molasses, veggies and bread. Then came the Feast for 4, a massive spread of Adana kebab, chicken shish, köfte, lamb chops and döner alongside rice, salad and hummus. We also tried their potato gözleme with tzatziki, Euphoria Meze Mix, Turkish coffee and a Chunky Monkey smoothie. And don't sleep on their new hookahs. We tried the Hookahccino with a chocolate milk base, which was such a unique touch. It made the experience incredibly smooth with a subtle chocolatey sweetness. Between the colorful, photo-ready decor, delicious food and genuinely kind and helpful staff, Euphoria feels equally suited for dinner with friends or settling in for a late-night hookah session.

This place exists strictly for drinks at night, not a real restaurant at all. Wasting my time; horribly impossible parking.

Our server was Nick and he was very accommodating and helpful in answering any questions. Our server assistant/busser was Billy and he was enthusiastic and so friendly, never lost the smile on his face. The food was to die for, we started with the Spicy Caesar Salad and while it was simple it was packed with flavor. For entrees I got the gnocchi rosa and added shrimp and my boyfriend got the truffle fettuccine alfredo with chicken. They were both phenomenal and I was beyond impressed with the intricate flavors in both. The size of the shrimp and chicken was also a pleasant surprise and is definitely worth the upgrade. Most importantly, huge shout out to the manager Michael. He greeted us at the front door and made sure we were taken care of and had a great experience. Overall, great staff, cute restaurant and amazing experience!

The staff was friendly and we chose to sit at the bar. Our bartender/server was Joel (I believe) and he was kind and attentive. He gave us gum that looked like cigarettes and picked out a fun book of crazy facts to read together while we waited. We ordered drinks and he was quick, then put food in. The wait for the food was a little longer than expected but nothing crazy and it didn't bother us at all. The beef carpaccio was FABULOUS. Probably one of the best I have had. I love carpaccio and I don't like it over done with toppings. Theirs was fresh, tender, a little salty with the capers, and just executed so well. I also ordered lobster bisque. The bisque itself was very good, creamy and had small chunks of lobster. It was very good but the puff pastry on top was a little undercooked and doughy. I would have liked a little more lobster too. But overall, solid bisque. Our main was the pork Osso Bucco and WOW. A standout dish. So tender, fall off the bone, incredible flavors. This is a MUSTTTT try for those who like pork. I would absolutely recommend this spot for a date night or girls night!

I had the Avgolemeno soup which was very good, but it was not hot. My husband started with the Horiatiki Village salad which he enjoyed. The salad was good. For my entree, I chose the Athens Market Special. It was a combination of Greek specialties. I thought I was going to need a togo box. But the portions of each item were very small. The Dolmathes was one small stuffed grape leaf. It wasn't very tender and it was very bland. The portion of the Moussaka and Pastititsii were tiny. The loin lamb chop was overcooked and also small. Nothing was hot and I am sure that it would have tasted better if it came out right away. My husband had the wild Alaskan Cod. It was not what he thought he was getting for the price. We expected an excellent restaurant because of the rating. We were extremely disappointed.

Brian opened the door, greeted me and sat me on the quiet side by the window. I popped into the ladies room. Upon returning, Brian asked if I wanted water with or without ice and shared Greek wine recommendations. I had a chance to look over the menu. They offered all the classic favorites. What I was really looking forward to enjoying was the char boiled octopus. I like to order dishes I wouldn't typically cook at home. We also ordered the Pastisio and Lamb chops. We were given the option of bread or pita. We choose bread, it came out hot with butter. The presentation of the octopus made it even more mouth watering. It was swimming in garlicky goodness, warm Kalamata olives all dressed in olive oil. Oh so yummy! Our entrees followed shortly after. Portions were generous, all the food seasoned well and served hot! Though tasty, the Haricot verts were cooked too well for me. I like my veggies more green and still crisp. We had plenty of leftovers to box up. Brian brought out a special birthday dessert with a candle and the other patrons joined in with singing. It was a sweet moment. I got a little rice pudding too! Overall our dining experience was exceptional due to the attentiveness of Brian. He was friendly, very knowledgeable with a splash of humor. I already bookmarked it to return with all my friends. It's not everyday that you find a spot with great food and great service.
