LEO'S TAVERNA EXPRESS

LEO'S TAVERNA EXPRESS
DON QUIJOTE HONOLULU
801 KAHEKA ST
HONOLULU, HI
808-949-2225

We were in the area where Don Quijote is located.  I have not been in this store for years and years and remember going there when it was called Holiday Mart back in the day.  At that time I would go to Holiday Mart because they often had the lowest prices on beer.  They now have a small Food Court in front of the store with several Japanese restaurants, a Thai restaurant and Leo's Taverna.  I remember loving Leo's Gyro's at the old Aloha Stadium during Hawaii football games.  They still taste great!

GYRO AND WINE AT THE SONY OPEN

Enjoyed a delicious Gyro at the Sony Open.  It was $20 and I have no idea of what restaurant made it.  Loved it and the perfect sandwich to absorb some beverages consumed.

LUNCH AND A SNACK IN OLYMPIA, GREECE

Our first Gyro in Greece was not that great so we decided to go in search of another one while in Olympia.  While this one was huge it was rather tasteless.  The Pita Bread was not fresh,  the meat was dry and the French Fries were terrible.  Don't think we finished this between the two of us.  Decided to stop at a cafe along the docks on the way back to our ship.  Enjoyed another Greek Salad and some Baklava.  Oh...and maybe a little vino for me.

LEO'S TAVERNA GYRO

We used to always get a Leo's Taverna Gyro at Aloha Stadium during University of Hawaii Football Games.  With the stadium now closed and being torn down, I still get those cravings for a Gyro.  Ordered one up with my free Uber Eats delivery and enjoyed one at the office.
I kept it low carb by not eating the Pita Bread.  Delicious and satisfied by craving.

GREEK MARINA - HONOLULU, HAWAII

 GREEK MARINA
HONOLULU,  HAWAII

GREEK MARINA
7192 KALANIANAOLE HIGHWAY #E126
HONOLULU, HAWAII  96825
(LOCATED IN KOKO MARINA - HAWAII KAI)
808-396-8441
HOURS:  Monday thru Thursday 11:00 - 9:00
                 Friday and Saturday 11:00 - 10:00
                 Sunday 11:00 to 9:00

The Greek Marina in Hawaii Kai sits near the marina and is a perfect place to relax for lunch or dinner. With indoor and outdoor seating you can choose to enjoy the worlds greatest weather outside or air conditioned comfort inside.  There is a walk up counter in the middle of the restaurant.  Think this is where you can order take out.  When we entered an employee greeted us and said we could take a table anywhere in the restaurant.  We went for a window seat overlooking the outdoor patio.  We do not each much Greek food so I wanted to try a traditional appetizer.  Went with the Dolmades ($6.95).  These are grape leaves wrapped around rice, tomato and spices.  Served with a yogurt sauce.  I liked the first one that I ate but the smell of the grape leaf did not sit well.  I peeled off the grape leaf on the second one and just ate the rice mixture inside.  Not bad but we would not order this again.  We all enjoyed the Gyro Sandwich here ($6.95) or ($9.95) with a salad.  This is a fresh and delicious sandwich and very filling for $7.  The Gyro is a blend of lean Roasted Beef and Lamb.  Served on Pita and topped with crisp lettuce, tomato, red onion and yogurt dressing.  Delicious and filling.
