Acropolis Cuisine
3841 Veterans Memorial Blvd., Metairie 888-9046
Greek and Mediterranean specialties are on the menu here, but Acropolis is known for straying from traditional dishes of the region — don't be surprised if lasagna, calamari or onion soup turn up alongside the kebabs and the pita wraps. Reservations accepted. Lunch and dinner daily. Credit cards. $
MR. GYRO'S
3620 N. Causeway Blvd., Metairie 833-9228
Mr. Gyro's puts its house specialty right in its name, serving up the famous Grecian pita sandwich with zesty cucumber sauce. But the menu offers many other Aegean delights, including a garlic-laden hummus, buttery spinach and feta pies and steaming hot falafel and moussaka stacked with roasted eggplant, zucchini, potato, ground beef and a blend of seasonings. No reservations. Lunch and dinner daily. Credit cards. $
