Freska Mediterranean Grill is a decent outpost of Greek food outside of downtown.
What I mean is that I mostly enjoyed everything I ordered, though many items fell just shy of perfection. For example, the chicken in the chicken shawarma ($6.99) was dry, but fortunately it was saved by all the components, including the soft, grilled wheat pita, the creamy tabouleh and the fresh veggies. The red pepper aioli gave it more depth.
Meanwhile, the lamb in my lamb gyro ($6.99) was tasty but was barely room temperature. Still, it’s a pretty worthy gyro, and the tzatziki sauce certainly complemented, not overpowered, the flavor.
I also tried a few of the sides. The falafel (four pieces for $3.95) is extra crunchy and topped with a super thick tahini sauce. They came out of a warmer, so they weren’t as fresh as they could be.
The spinach pie ($5.50) was the only item I got that didn’t have a flaw. It’s a generous piece that’s flaky, soft, warm, not overly spinachy and the exact right amount of cheese.
Other menu items include kebabs, salads and soups. All the items are served assembly line-style.
Freska Mediterranean Grill is open every day for lunch, dinner and carryout.
I love the big, open, garage-like space at 
The Dayne #33 ($11.25) is quite messy. The bountiful pulled pork–which wasn’t tender–is topped with big strips of bacon and crunchy coleslaw inside a thick pretzel bun. At least all the flavors worked well together.
Next time you’re at Woodman’s on the west side, see if you can spot 
The century eggs ($6.95) were some of the best I’ve ever had. Perfect gelatinous texture of the whites, paired with the creaminess of the yolk, mixed with the spiciness of peppers, makes for a satisfying appetizer.
