What People Are Saying About Boughasta Inc Specialty Greek
The Editor

Citysearch
In Short – Located in a turn-of-the-century storefront on an obscure side street, this family-owned Greek cafe and deli would be a good candidate for obscurity. Instead, everyone from Wayzata to Woodbury seems to know about it. From the pureed garlic with potato to the lima beans with vegetables, the food meets the highest standards of authenticity. The house specialty, popular for lunch or dessert, is boughatsa pastries that come in sweet and savory varieties. – –

Still the Best Greek Food in Town
by Mnboy
Obviously the previous reviewer lacks any sort knowledge of Greek Food. This is truly the only restaurant that comes close to Greek food between here and Greece. I grew up in Greece, and I know Greek food when taste.
Most of the food here is local and artisan. All the food is made from scratch. You will be hard pressed to find another Greek restaurant that makes its own tzaziki. This place features great wines from Greece. I would recommend this place to everybody.
- Pros: Great Local Authentic Food. Ambiance.
- Cons: Parking

Worst Service and Mediocre Food
by MarkBergstein
I stopped in for a take out of spinach boughatsa which is really spanakopita but don't call it the latter or the owner, Lazarus, will throw a fit--he's a real freaky case.
The service was slow as I waited standing up and when I started to eat it ten minutes later, the male server did not even include a napkin in the bag and it is made with alot of olive oil. Fortunately, I don't go there too often and will go to Its Greek to Me instead.
- Cons: Everything

Best authentic Greek experience
by youngtcer
This is the best Greek food around. I recommend getting the combo and sharing to allow the chance to try various menu items. Servers were sweet and had thick accents. I felt bad there weren't more people dining there....the location is just blocks from the busy Hennepin/Central intersection. There are of course cheaper, delicious Greek spots around, but this has a nicer upscale atmosphere that's good for special occasions, dates, etc.
Everything we ate was delicious...loved the gyros of course. Also they have great bottled sodas that are imported. A hidden gem, for sure!
- Pros: Authentic Greek atmosphere, delicious everything!, fresh floral centerpieces on tables
- Cons: Tucked away from the main drag, very dead quiet
