If you're looking for a quick satisfying meal that doesn't add extra calories or burn a hole in your pocket and even tastes great, then you're not just fantasizing; it's entirely possible at Daphne's Greek Cafe. This group of casual restaurants where fast food acquires a different meaning altogether have gained immense popularity in the sixteen years that they have been in business. Fast, efficient service and a relaxing atmosphere and their delicious food, combine to create a memorable dining experience.

For starters, try the avgolemono soup, with marinated chicken and rice, flavored with lemon and served with tzatziki sauce and warm pita bread. There’s a wide range of appetising pita sandwiches filled with crispy shrimp or fried calamari, while grilled chicken, kabobs and fresh carved gyros can make your day. Child friendly portions of chicken strips and sandwiches delight the little ones immensely.

Their famous 1970s 'pizza pizza' advert may hold a memorable place in the minds of a lot of people and for over fifty years Little Caesars have strongly demonstrated their passion for quality pizza and high standard of service. They are also estimated to be one of the largest pizza chains in the US, all of them supporting owners Mike and Marian Ilitch's philosophy to give back to the community that supports them.

First off there's a deep dish to gratify those with a large appetite, this square, thick version comes with a crispy crust, covered in cheese, and their hot-n-ready large pepperoni or just cheese pizza is well-known too. Experience a whiff of Hawaii with a hula Hawaiian, topped with ham and pineapple, and for a meat-laden treat there's a three-meat pizza with ham, pepperoni and sausage.

Other delicious discoveries at Little Caesars include Caesar wings, crazy bread and sauce and the signature pepperoni cheese bread.

Hungry lunch time diners can enjoy fried baby squid with spicy marinara sauce for antipasti or head straight to the Panini with their varied fillings.

In the evenings, you might start your meal with a salami, mortadella and ham salad and move onto creamy pasta such as fettucine Alfredo or beef filled ravioli. The breaded veal cutlet with lemon and white wine is an excellent option, while you don't want to miss their gourmet pizzas either. The cannoli filled with sweetened mascarpone cheese makes a fabulous dessert and the extensive wine list aims to have something for everyone.

Fresh cuts and a dash of experimentation lend an unmistakable flavor to the repertoire of dishes that emerges from their kitchen with ease.

A look at the menu reveals that there's more to Japanese cuisine than just sushi and with this gladdening thought you might want to order the sliced and sautéed calamari steak for an appetizer followed by chicken katsu, panko breaded pieces deep fried and served with katsu sauce and steamed rice. Sushi, sashimi and maki rolls add that element of exotica and their range of drinks includes delightful cocktails, beers, and sake.
