SOCRATES in the Heights is a cozy Greek restaurant, perfect for takeout or small gatherings. Known for their tasty souvlaki, the food is consistently delicious and hot. The lemon potatoes are soft and almost creamy, not hard like other places. Very good chicken and prawn souvlaki, rice is also very flavourful. The salad, the pita, and the POTATOES are amazing. They also offer lamb shank and Greek ribs. Everything is really fresh and wasn't overly spiced, so customers can actually taste the meat. The lamb shank is so tender that the bones fall off. The ribs aren't dry at all. The food is well packaged. The price is way better than other Greek restaurants. The warm service and dedication to quality make this spot a neighborhood favorite. Recent reviews highlight the outstanding rice pilaf, flavorful garlic chunks, and juicy chicken & roasted potatoes. Outside tables provide a comfortable setting with friendly service and nice music, making it a great spot for dining. Lamb shoulder and keftedes are also highly praised, although some find the pita bread and portions to be smaller than expected. Overall, it remains a really solid spot for Greek food, especially for takeout, with many customers happy to discover this restaurant as a go-to choice.
