If you love Greek food when in Charleston, South Carolina, making reservations at Stella’s is an absolute must. Located on St. Philip St. and just a short brisk walk from either the Francis Marion Hotel or Hotel Bennett, Stella’s is THE place to grab a delicious dinner. Since appetizers are our favorite, most of our dinner came from the Meze portion of the menu, followed by two of the main dishes. For small or large groups, ordering from the Meze menu is a must, as all the dishes are meant for sharing.
In our little corner of the restaurant (a more intimate dining area in a small room adjacent to the bar) we looked over the menu and chose our first meze of the evening. Hummus and Tabouli. While both appetizers were nothing new to us, this was my sister’s first time trying out Tabouli and she truly enjoyed it.
