Chef Robby Goco of Cyma launches Souv – a new concept restaurant that’s more fun, fresh, modern and progressive Greek.

“Cyma’s success, the most popular Greek resto in the country, is the foundation of Souv! Chef Robby Goco integrated the top 12 favorite dishes of Cyma here in Souv! because it still has the DNA of Cyma but like we said earlier, we’re progressing. Souv! is adhered to Greek philosophy cooking of -good fat, healthy grains, lots of fiber , low sugar and carbs”  Authentic Greek handpainted plates brought in by Chef himself.  He saw a guy painting them and he brought them back home and now they are here on the wall of Souv 🙂  Souv comes from the word souvlaki/souvla/souva – a Greek dish referring to pieces of meat on a skewer. Staying true to its concept of being more fun and added with a little word play, we came up with “Souv!” Souv! is a full-sevice modern Greek concept focusing on a spit fired meat. Rotisserie is a style of roasting where meat is skewered on a long solid rod while being cooked over fire, using large joints of meat or entire animals such as lamb, pigs, and chickens.  So nice to meet Chef Robby Goco @bleurobster and his business partner since the beginning (12 years ago), Kristine Meehan. Now with 6 Cymas ( “My Rock”) 3 Green Pastures ( spearheaded the organic movement in the country ) Yumi ( Japanese ) and Munchtown ( hotdog ) This is my first time to meet him and I’m impressed by his way of thinking and how he chose to do Greek and how he owned it in the country. I learned a lot from him about ingredients, about business, about many many things. I love listening to his rational behind things, his stories and dishes. Today I also found out why I like Greek food – it’s because of LOOPS. Come visit Souv @souvbycyma and I’m sure you will love it. #SouvByCyma #EverydayGreek#H2HChefs  For appetizers, you can start with a range of mezzes from dips, to spinach and clam fondue.  Greek NachosSticky Chicken wings

YUM! Avgotaracho- Greek tuna roe ( made by Souv themselves ) pasta in @souvbycyma “The thing about pasta is again it lacks fiber.  So what the Greeks do is they put a green for fiber.  #souvbycyma#everydaygreek #H2HPasta #h2hcaviar#avgotaracho

 Meat Platter ( good for 2) garlic yogurt, pits, juicy potatoes, pickles and Greek coleslaw ( lahanosalata) You can have it in all chicken, all pork, all lamb, choice of 2 or all 3. This was all 3 and ofcourse my favorite was the lamb There are only 3 desserts at Souv @souvbycyma and I love them all because it’s made of fresh Greek yogurt ( locally made ) 
 There is an off menu dessert – Rice pudding, salted caramel and pistachio  #SouvbyCyma #EverydayGreek#H2HFroyo #GreekYogurt

Souv uses the 5 staple ingredients of Greek cooking, which we call SPOOL, to bring out the natural flavors of each ingredient-salt, pepper, olive oil, oregano, lemon.

At Souv! you are assured that all our dishes are made from scratch in house, all fresh daily. The idea is perfect simplicity, to preserve each ingredient’s distinct flavor and nutritional value.

Our dishes are perfectly paired with modern day Greek libations that are creative and everyday  wines that are very affordable. We also cater to health conscious because we have organic and vegan-friendly red wines.

Come visit Souv! and have your #everdaygreek fix!
