It was really disappointing: bland, with lentils rather than vegan mince, however the cheesy top was nicely browned and a great texture. The potatoes were not crispy, just a boiled potato texture, and rather bland. The baked fava beans peas were the surprising best dish of the night, they were cooked in a tomato based sauce, and were flavourful. The Loukoumades. SO DISAPPOINTING. They didn't have a vegan substitute for honey, so they came dry, with something that looked like brown sugar but had a fluffy texture with just the tiniest hint of sweetness. It's bitterly disappointing that I haven't come across any good vegan Greek food in Melbourne, when I was so impressed with the vegan food scene in Athens, and when Greek cuisine has several traditionally vegan food.
