Apóla Greek Grill Adds New Signature Shrimp Pita for Spring and Lent

TL;DR

Apóla Greek Grill introduces a new Signature Shrimp Pita for Spring and Lent, featuring a Greek yogurt-based sauce. The limited-time menu item is part of the restaurant's effort to serve authentic Greek flavors made with fresh, healthy ingredients.

For a limited time, the popular Greek grill will be serving its Signature Shrimp Pita featuring their hearty shrimp skewer perfectly grilled after being soaked in their one-of-a kind olive oil and herb blend, which is then combined with mixed greens, pickles, red cabbage and a handful of fries on a warm pita.

But the Signature Shrimp Pita isn’t complete without the restaurant’s signature Apóla sauce, a Greek yogurt-based sauce with a tangy blend of cumin, mustard and fresh herbs. March is Greek Heritage Month, and with several people observing Greek Orthodox Lent and Catholic Lent, this new menu item has flavors fit for everyone.

Don’t want a pita sandwich? Order the shrimp souvlaki consisting of 12-14 shrimp and enjoy with some homemade sides or on a salad. If you can’t get to Greece, then there is no better time to visit Apóla than now!

“We’re really excited to introduce our new Signature Shrimp Pita,” said Apóla Co-Founder Yianni Kosmides. “Here at Apóla, we have a passion for serving authentic Greek flavors that are made fresh, in-house daily with the finest ingredients that are both healthy and delicious. We wanted to inspire our guests’ imagination by serving different pairings and flavors that our guests wouldn't necessarily try, so we encourage everyone to come in and taste this spring-inspired offer while it lasts!”

Apola’s fans flock in for the Authentic Greek Gyro, but the restaurant offers something for everyone with a variety of options including numerous proteins and a variety of spreads from the original tzatziki to a distinctive spicy hummus. All sandwiches and entrees are customizable.

Vegetarians and vegans will be happy to find traditional Greek staples like dolmas, falafel, avgolemono soup and Greek salad on the menu. Apola also offers their own meatless gyro option that brings the flavor of the Greek street food favorite with a vegetarian zing.
