Greek/Med in RI?

[lunacelt]

Does anyone know of a good Greek place in RI? General Mediterranean is alright, too, but I'd really prefer something authentically Greek. I know Efendi's in Cranston has a couple of Greek dishes on the menu... but can anyone think of anywhere else?

Ardeo at the sight of the old "Rafaels" in downtown Prov. will be opening soon. Their Mediterranean food at their locations on the Cape is outstanding.

There's a cute pizza place with a full bar in Cumberland called Angelo's. On Saturdays they have Greek night. I have not had the Greek yet, but the rest of their food is pretty good.

Markos is Narragansett is my favorite. Their falafel are the best anywhere.

Having looked at the menu on line, Markos seems more Middle Eastern/Mediterranean than Greek: No pastisio or moussaka; lots of kababs, falafel and wraps.

There is a greek deli (lunch only) in Cranston (Athenos I think) on Route 5 near Haruki. They usually have some good authentic dishes on the menu, you could probably ask them where there might be a good greek restaurant for dinner.

After having been spoiled by having a great Greek restaurant nearby when I lived in Boston, I have looked and not found anything in the Providence area. I share Garris's opinion of Andreas. The European Cafe has even less Greek on the menu then Effendi's.

At this point, my family 1) takes advantage whenever we happen to otherwise be in the vicinity of Watertown and 2) hits the Greek festivals during the summer in Pawtucket and Newport.

Estia in Wakefield

There is a Syrian restaurant also in Wakefield called Marko's Kabobs and More...

There's Andreas on Thayer Street (Greek) but I'm generally not a fan. Opa! on Federal Hill is Lebanese with several Mediterranean dishes I believe...
