Zesty Grill

Balls of Steel.
I mean that’s what the owners of Zesty Grill must have.
Whoever would open up a Mediterranean style restaurant a few doors down from the wildly popular Swiss Donair is either stupid, crazy or has enough guts to believe that their food offerings can compete with Swiss Donair.
I decided to find out last night.
Zesty Grill is a small restaurant located in the Londonderry area. It has a bright lime green interior and a few small tables and chairs.
The menu here is quite meagre. But don’t let that dissuade you. Because what they lack in quantity they more than make up for in quality.
I was real hungry so I choose a lamb wrap, grilled Panini and a side of tabouli salad and spicy garlic potatoes.
First up– the tabouli salad. Not a bad salad but could of used some more lemon juice for more of a «kick» and the serving size could have been larger.
Next I tried the spicy garlic potatoes. These were really good. They came topped off with some creamy dip and chopped green onions. But again the serving size could have been larger.
Up next was the lamb wrap. Delish! Real fried lamb mixed with veggies in a fresh pita wrapped up nice and tight.
And finally I took on the Panini. It consisted of chicken breast, pickles and a garlic sauce grilled up piping hot. This was an absolute home run. It was one of the best Panini’s I’ve ever had in my life. My mouth waters while I’m typing this just thinking about it. What a wonderful concoction.
$ 22 all told.
The only improvement I would make is that I hope Zesty Grill offers larger portion options of their sides of salad, potatoes, etc. Those portions are just too small.
If I was Swiss Donair I would be concerned about this new kid on the block.
Zesty Grill definitely has the goods to back up their bravado.
