Yes, I like gyros, but moussaka is my favorite Greek dish. What is moussaka, you ask? According to The Taste, Moussaka is a "classic family-friendly dish from the Mediterranean, moussaka is classic comfort food, which we happily eat all year round. It consists of layers of pan-fried eggplant, a thick, rich lamb-tomato sauce, and a topping of deliciously creamy bechamel sauce." For dessert, I'll have a Greek coffee and baklava.

 

According to Lovefood, Varka Estiatorio in Ramsey is the best Greek restaurant in New Jersey and among the best in America. "Varka describes itself as a 'Mediterranean fish house,' with a menu packed with seafood and Greek specialties. The lobster gyro, finished with cucumber-tomato relish and mint tzatziki, is something special, and the Varka chips, made with eggplant and zucchini, are pretty tempting, too. You'll dine in a cozy, understated setting with exposed wood beams and heavy blue drapes."
