The Stolen Lamb

[RDB]

Stumbled across this place by accident but was very pleasantly surprised. It is a Greek (Cypriot) joint albeit with a bit of a modern take on trad Greek. Nice modern interior with friendly staff. Went with three generation of women, a fussy older member and a difficult little one, however all enjoyed it.

As it was over Xmas it was a “festive menu” which I think was more about price than festive fare thankfully. In fact Greek food provided a welcome ray of sunshine to a wet lunchtime in Wilmslow.

Had a mixed Mezze, which included, minced lamb Dolmades in a tomato sauce, which was light and refreshing, Sesame Seared Sheep’s Cheese, chickpea and aubergine spinaki , sesame dressing (an interesting and delicious way to do Halloumi); well-cooked calamari; good Pitta with some of the best Taramasalata I have ever tried, other dips present; green beans spiced lentils and clams (which was original and bold in flavour); chicken Souvlaki roasted red peppers, kalamata relish and Greek village salad. All in all an excellent array and cooked well, with some original style and taste emerging.

Also consumed was a” stolen lamb burger”, halloumi cheese, salad ,cucumber tzatziki , mama’s chips, which was served pink and was quite pleasant, chips were very good and coated in maybe semolina and a large version of the chicken souvlaki.

Presentation was very modern with the use of all the trendy vessels which food arrives in nowadays.

It was a very good take on Greek food.

All in all I was impressed and will return to try the main menu.
