Chattanooga is certainly not lacking for Greek restaurants.
There’s Acropolis, the granddaddy of them all. Since it opened on Ringgold Road and moved to Hamilton Place decades ago, a number have followed suit, bringing the flavors of the Mediterranean to the Scenic City.
The latest is Metropolis, a new full-service restaurant with bar and dining room seating that opened recently along Market Street, caddy-cornered from the Tennessee Aquarium.
THE MENU
A large number of Greek dishes fill the menu, some of which with you may be familiar — spanakopita, falafel, gyros and souvlaki among others — and some that might be new to your palate, such as baba ganouj and lamb shank biryani. Then there are some creative offerings, too, like fried cauliflower tossed in hot mango sauce and chicken momos, minced chicken and spices stuffed in wonton wrappers — sort of a Greek/Chinese fusion dish, maybe?
