We used to have ...was it called Greek Paradise Cafe? ...off Frankfort Ave. Owners name was Maria but I think she returned to the Fort Knox area. That's still closer than Cincinnati.

I found this on line:

BTW Grapeleaf is Middle Eastern not Greek. This lady is Greek to the max.

I feel your pain. I was raised in a Greek household, (I'm from St. Louis) went to a Greek church, ate at many Greek householdds, and spent much time in Greece years ago. Needless to say, I enjoy AUTHENTIC Greek food and their wonderful aromas. The best suggestion is to cobble together the menu. I've found good feta at the Middle Eastern stores (Bulgarian feta). Grape Leaf and others serve spanakopita, etc. and of course one can find a gyro at various locations. As for pastichio, moussaka, avgolemono soup, and others...oh well. We'll have to send a giant to go order out along with NY bagels! ............But in all due fariness, the demographics are changing. Greek immigration has slowed to a trickle outside of the big metropoles. Besides, the Middle Eastern fare tends to be replacing Greek fare in many areas. And quite frankly, it is a pretty good trade off, although I wish we had at least one decent Greek restaurant.
