Coming soon: Taziki's Greek Fare

Longtime restaurateur and former state Rep. Jim Keet, in partnership with his sons Tommy and Jake, hopes to open Taziki's Greek Fare mid-September in the Cantrell Heights Shopping Center. The Keets are the first franchisee of the 10-year-old Mediterranean chain, based in Birmingham. It's yet another fast casual chain, though Keet boasts that the freshness of ingredients and “high quality, reasonably priced” wine list will set Taziki's apart. You can see a menu at tazikis.net that'll largely resemble the Little Rock branch's.

Taziki's has a BIG following in BBrinmingham. I'm glad Tommy and Jim are bringing it to LR. I'll be one of the first customers in line.

I notice a lot of eggs and egg salad. That a touch of Birmingham? I don't recall that much egg salad in Greece.

Not usually a big chain person (see previous discussions on EA), but this one has enough of a different flavor (pun intended), I'll have to give it a try.

Greek food, even chain Greek food, gets my attention.

This was one of our favorite restaurants in Birmingham. We never had a bad meal. Their daily specials are great as well as the rest of the menu.

The Birmingham paper recently featured the recipe for Taziki's best selling item, something called "Friday Pasta." (Click on my name) Other than the nondescript name, this dish looks very tasty and a step up from the ususal strip-mall chain fare. I'm looking forward to the opening.
