I’ve been to Greece several times and since then I have been to several Greek restaurants in the US and Europe. I ordered moussaka at The Real Greek and it was without a doubt the best one I’ve ever tasted. Compliments to the chef Suzana! The service was outstanding and I look forward to returning soon.
