– Tahini Dip – light, lemony, and 100% plant-based
– Skordalia – bold garlic mash straight from the mountains
– Elies Tsakistes – cracked olives marinated with coriander & love
– Anari with Carob Syrup – sweet meets savory in one bite
– Koupes – crispy bulgur pockets filled with spiced meat
– Lountza & Halloumi – smoky, salty, and perfectly grilled
– Zucchini with Eggs – farm-style breakfast turned classic starter
