“Had an amazing dinner at The Parthenon in San Francisco with two friends and wow, everything was 🔥! The pita bread with hummus was the perfect start, and the Avgolemono soup was cozy and flavorful 🍋🍲. The zucchini fritters were crispy perfection, and the drinks (Ashk!) were smooth and paired so well 🍷. We tried both chicken and steak souvlaki so juicy and packed with flavor and the Greek pasta was a total standout 🍝. Finished off with baklava topped with vanilla ice cream and it was divine 🍯🍨. Incredible food, awesome vibes—definitely going back soon! 🙌🇬🇷”
