Greek Cuisine
Greek food is a fine melody of the finest pressed olive oil, fresh fermented bread, colorful vegetables, juicy meat, sea food all cooked in spices and fresh rosemary. The people from Greek were great scholars who aimed to excel in everything they do. The results are quite visible in their food as they are the inventors of olive oil which is beneficial to health. Greeks also made different type of wines from the best quality of grapes fermented in controlled environment.
Today, you can find hundreds of restaurants offering authentic Greek food or popularly termed as Mediterranean cuisine in New York city alone. People wait in line to taste the exotic Greek dishes like saganaki, taramasalata, souvlaki, loukoumades, spanakopita, moussaka, and many more. One thing which most people like about these authentic Greek dishes is abundant use of lemon juice, olive oil, fresh rosemary and sea salt. A smart mix of few ingredients can virtually take you on the pebble streets of beautiful city of Greece.
For those who don't have time to enjoy fine dining should try tasting the famous souvlaki with pita which is type of meat dish, also a trademark Greek fast food. For those who are vegetarian, or vegan can try different versions of Greek Salad. So, if you wish to enjoy a hearty yet healthy meal that tastes divine then try dining at the best Greek restaurant in your city. Greek cuisine not only tastes good but also help maintain your body in a natural way through healthy diet.

The food and atmosphere here were fantastic, I'd never had any Greek food before and decided to try something new. I came in and simply said to surprise me. And they didn't disappoint, the lentil soup was fantastic along with my main dish (can't remember the name of it) was chicken with rice beans in a wine sauce, finished it all up with baklava and a Greek coffee, even got my coffee grounds read by the waitress. The whole staff makes you feel like you've been coming there for years

The food was great. The service was so so. The atmosphere is lacking. With an upgrade in chairs and decor this place could be really nice. But for a strip mall restaurant the food was good. I would return.

This place has the most authentic Greek food around. I lived in Limassol Cyprus and the food here is identical.

Service was cold at first, but they eventually warmed up. "Dolmathes" mean something very different at this restaurant than the rest of the world, but that doesn't mean they aren't good! The gyro meat was also exceptional.

I really liked this place. They have some really good Mediterranean cuisine over here. My friend and I were going to try T-Coons but they were closed so we just walked in here. My friend and I both love us some Greek food, and Baton Rouge has some of the best in the country. I was excited to give it a try because I had heard it was good. We ordered a plate of grape leaves for starters. They were interesting. They had an herb or spice inside of them that I couldn't place, but it gave them a good flavor. I would definitely order them again. Also they were the hugest grape leaves I've ever seen. We both ordered the combination platter which consists of pork souvlaki, gyro meat, and chicken shawarma. It also comes with a soup or salad. We both went with the salad. The salad was a good Greek salad. It had a vinegar based dressing and wasn't as heavy as some of the dressings on some places feta salads. My only complaint about it was that it had too many tomatoes. The combination plate was also excellent. I was surprised that it was just meat and did not come with a side of hummus, but it was good enough on its own that it didn't matter. The souvlaki was amazing. The chicken shawarma was not like any shawarma I have ever seen(I don't think it was cooked on one of those auto-donner machines), it was more like marinated chicken breast. It was still excellent and it was actually very juicy unlike most shawarma. The gyro tasted like any other Grecian Delight style gyro I've ever had. Poseidon gets four stars for me due to the fact that it's in Lafayette and it's the best Greek in Lafayette. If it was Baton Rouge I'd give it three stars, as it can't compete with Albasha's, but it's still very good. I will definitely be back.

I travel a lot and this was the best Greek/Lebanese restaurant I've ever eaten at. A surprise for Lafayette! Everything was fresh and had their own unique brand of flavoring. The decor was average but authentic feeling. The service was exceptional and they were very good at explaining the dishes and making suggestions. This place started my love of Greek food.

Poseidon's Greek Restaurant boasts some of the most authentic, delicious Greek cuisine in the Lafayette area. As with most things, there are some flaws, but I still think this place is worth a visit. First of all, this restaurant has my favorite Halloumi cheese in town, hands down. Do yourself a favor and try it; you will not regret it. Thick chunks of this cheese are grilled (yes, you can grill this amazing, brined cheese) and served with tomatoes, and if you get the Halloumi wrap, the pita bread is grilled as well. My suggestion? Take a chance and try the Saganaki (lightly breaded and flambeed Halloumi). Their Moussaka is nothing short of amazing, too. Other notable eats include the Lamb Gyro Platter, Spanakopita & Tyropita. A few warnings: The parking lot is a little difficult to get in and out of during the lunch rush. If you are on a budget, things can get a little pricey (for example, their Veggie Platter), but you get what you pay for when you consider the quality. Also, their Hummus is not great & their french fries are absolutely WRETCHED. If you're looking for a good lentil soup in Lafayette, Athena's is better and comes free with your meal. Overall, I'd recommend Poseidon's as a delicious Greek dining option, depending on what your priorities are...just skip the French Fries.

Meh. Nothing special. Service was fair. Food was slightly below average. Two of us had Gryo's- disappointing. The other had a combination plate that was also just average.

The food is fresh and delicious. The wait staff and owner are very friendly. We will be back next time I'm craving Greek!

A great little spot at the corner of Kaliste and Pinhook, and i do mean little. You could fit the whole place into one of my shoe boxes. However, I think that is part of its charm. It is small, sparse of decor - with the exception of one wall lined with Greek statuary, staffed by really friendly people and serving good food. That is a good combo in my book. Went here this evening for dinner, and we were the only ones in the restaurant side of the room (the bar side had about a half dozen regulars.) We were greeted warmly by out waitress/hostess/server, a friendly young woman who is attending UL for her degree in journalism and hopes to spend the year after graduation traveling the world (I told you the room was small, I heard all of that from across it). We decided to get a sampling of their food in a convenient combo plate featuring a traditional Greek salad, a stuffed meat pie and a large piece of Spanakopita. Each item was delicious and the three worked beautifully together. The spice of the meat pie was cooled but the fresh crisp taste of the salad which in turn was warmed by the flaky Spanakopita. It was a perfect amount of food, and very reasonably priced. I inquired with such good food why the room was empty and came to find out that this is a VERY popular lunch spot, but in the evenings it is populated by the regulars at the bar who come for a beverage and good company. Compared to Zues who seems to have a stranglehold on the Greek food in the area, even though it is really much more Turkish and Lebanese than it is Greek, Poseidon's has a cozy, friendly and very personal feeling and has much better food and prices to boot. Do yourself a favor and head on in, this place deserves just as many people at dinner as lunch.
