Thelo Greek KuzinaTM
Our Story
Thelo (I want) Greek is an open scratch kitchen with 30 seats in a cozy Greek taverna setting that mimics taverns in Greece and offers an intimate ambiance.
Our menu and flavors are personal, based on my origins, the formative years growing up in Greece, travels, exposure to international foods and the great chefs in my US restaurants.
The menu includes classic regional dishes alongside the unparalleled Greek Street food. Our prices are based on the quality of the ingredients we use aiming on a 4 Star Value and not the competition’s. Yannis
Thoughts...
America is the place that people came running away from inhuman and intolerable
events, corrupt rulers, invaders and even religion. The country has been build by immigrants from the world over and contrary to many it is not and never been an island. The country's core values are it's constitution, freedom of religion and a judicial system that allows NO ONE TO BE ABOVE THE LAW. At this time externally we are involved in Europe and the Middle East both far away but based on historical events and the origins of many Americans it is residing inside our culture, feelings, relations and geopolitical realities and obligations. Currently Internally we have damaged the oath to the constitution and to our faith, allowing the enemies from within to take over. So lets think on what unites us, pray to our faith, plan and execute before it's too late.
