They still need to release the official 2023 Greek Fest menu but a quick glance at last year’s delivers three full pages of delicious options. The Church Grounds had pizza, meatballs, salads, and gyro sandwiches. The pastry menu offered many kinds of cookies as well as different styles of layered phyllo treats such as baklava and kataifi sold by the half dozen or there’s a variety box option. The Social Hall Menu had luxurious options like the Lamb Dinner and Moussaka as well as lighter plates like hummus, pita, spanakopita, and dolmades.
