Greek food has always been hit or miss with me. I like some, some I don't. This was suprisingly good. I wasn't sure about the cinnamon and allspice with beef as it sounded like it would taste weird but it turned out to taste pretty good! My husband raved about it and ate all the leftovers as a midnight snack. Guess that's a pretty good endorsement right there!
