We managed to get the last place to sit. What I ordered: all I got was the feta fries. They were less than 4€ and were delicious! They were perfectly crisp, seasoned, and had the perfect amount of feta on them. I have no idea about the other dishes, but I would go back alone just for the fries! (I gave it 4 stars because the restaurant itself could have been more unique and it was great, but I don't think it deserves a full 5 stars.)

I stumbled upon Egeo as it was one of the few restaurants open in Lavapies during the siesta. And I…read moream SO lucky that I did. Egeo is such a great break from Spanish food. I love you tortilla española, but I can only eat so many eggs. I ordered the hamburger suvlaki, the cheese fries, and my boyfriend got the pork suvlaki. All were delicious and so cheap. My favorite was the hamburger suvlaki because it's a mix of both ground up beef and lamb meat. The mustard and egg were an interesting, but GENIUS combination. I'm drooling just thinking about it. The pork suvlaki was also delicious, and I loved that it included tzatziki sauce. However, it tasted like a plain gyro and wasn't as unique as the hamburger version. The cheese fries were also great, but could have been more crunchy and had some kind of sauce over them as feta makes everything pretty dry. Overall, a great experience. I would recommend Egeo to anyone who wants a cheap and delicious break from Spanish food.

We missed our flight to Morocco (seriously), so we decided to look for the next best thing. It was…read morea bit of a hike from our hotel, and my wife kept asking if we were going the right way. The area was mostly deserted, and located in a community with Chinese and Mexican restaurants. The streets were steep, and not the best for my wife's heels. The entrance belies the rest of the neighborhood, but it gives a clue to what's inside. The interior is gorgeous. North African music weaves a lively tune to provide the perfect backdrop. We opened with hummus, which had the silky quality you expect, and a beautiful presentation. The flavor was very chickpea-forward, but something tasted different from the hummus I've enjoyed in Dearborn (which has the world's largest concentration of middle easterners outside the Middle East). Then, I realized it: there was no detectable garlic, and no salt. Salt is available upon request, though. The pita served with the hummus is the flat pocket type, not the puffy baked type. Not bad, but nothing special. The tagine is a conical clay cooking vessel used in North African cooking. An order of tagine means you will get a dish prepared and served in such a vessel. Well flavors may differ someone, one thing is assured: the food inside will be succulent and fall-off-the-bone. The lamb tagine was slightly sweet due to the raisins used in the preparation, and the large amount of carrots. It was served on a bed of couscous. The chicken tagine was less sweet, and served with peas and smaller chunks of carrots. The beef tagine played a bit like steak and potatoes. All of them were very tasty, though they did need a little bit of salt. While the lamb was served with couscous underneath, chicken did not have any sort of grain so we ordered rice. Wow, was this a great idea. The rice was seasoned with ras el hanout, which was exploding with flavor. This worked beautifully with all three of the above. Drink selections are limited, but we were honestly happy that they served alcohol at all. Prices are not bad, with most dishes costing around 19€. Our waiter was fast and friendly, and he was happy to call us a cab when it was time to leave. I advise taking a taxi there, too, unless you have some high quality footwear. I can't imagine doing better in Madrid if you want an authentic experience with Moroccan food.

Funny, I didn't even know its name until I picked up a business card; it was always just "the Greek place" to us. I decided to write a review because the owner greeted my girlfriend and I one day, and was thrilled that we were Americans. I have never had that experience. He explained that he really wanted to go, and was so kind to us that I'd like to talk a little about his kiosk. We have a sort of religious fealty to Exargia's moussaka. It's what we get every time we visit. It's mild and boasts remarkable texture - guess it helps that a Greek is over the stove. I think it's four Euros for a big helping and a couple pieces of flat-bread/pita. We've also had excellent luck with the sauces plate, which is a sampler of what's on display: tzatziki, pureed eggplant, and another...pureed kalamatas? Not sure, but it's all delicious if you're in the mood for Greek food. This place also vends some super-cheap and super-sweet Greek wine product. I think it's two euros a bottle and although I haven't bought one, it looks too sweet for me. Next time I'm in the mood for a hangover I'll have to pick up a bottle. It's not easy to find Greek food in Lavapies, but this place is a great step toward filling that gap.

We went on a slow Wednesday night at 8:30. The interior was decorated in a cute, slightly Greek-inspired way. What I ordered: we got the hummus, falafel, and eggplant tapas.

The hummus was so fresh and delicious and the eggplant tapas were fresh and full of flavor! The food came out super quickly and our waiter was very nice!
