Omorphia Taverna

I LOVE Greek food. Like literally love it. It reminds me of holidays and sunshine and memories with my family. Omorphia did not disappoint in bringing the flavours of Greece flooding back!
On the corner of Bellshill Main Street is not the place you’d expect to find an authentic Greek restaurant, but don’t let that put you off. Inside the décor is standard, nothing special, but the food does the talking.
Whilst looking through the menu, we were brought some lovely fresh bread, butter, olives and some oil and balsamic (which we duly inhaled). I could’ve ordered everything as it all sounded so delicious. I started with ‘Pastourma’ — Greek village sausage with a Mango salad. The sausage its self was spicy and quite dense, similar to a chorizo. It was delicious and paired beautifully with the unusual combo of Mango salad.
For main, myself and my 2 friends all went for the Lamb Gyros. The lamb was absolutely meltingly tender. The pitta was doused in oil and Greek herbs and was sooooo tasty. Served with Tzatziki (oh the Tzatziki!!!) and salsa, it was so authentic and delicious! I couldn’t finish it, although I truly wanted to!
We had sides of Tzatziki with dip, which I love anyway, but this was just extra special. So creamy and garlicky and just divine.
We couldn’t possibly fit in puddings, but they do a small Greek selection. The only thing that could have improved my meal was a round of Mythos (being pregnant this wasn’t to be :(! But I cannot wait to go back and get my next Greek fix!
