Floyd's of Cincinnati Restaurant

My mom had given me a giftcard from <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2FRestaurant.com&s=0aab4cbd731f3d3b0d1453050d3abc56a8c80bd214e25469c7555b750dca8a51" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://Restaurant.com</a> for this place a couple years ago so I decided to give it a shot. I'm glad I did, but it was not what I was expecting! First disappointment was that my coupon was a scam and not actually valid at Floyd's (restaurant.com's fault). I was glad I had asked about it before my meal! The owner was very friendly about it though and told us that many people had come in last year and were quite angry about it.

First of all, the owner had closed up early for the night by the time we arrived there, but she opened it up just for us! We felt so special. She said "we have chicken" so we decided to go with the "Floyd's Special" of half a roasted chicken, two sides, and pita and just split it. The sides were ok, greek salad and hummus (even though we had ordered baba ganouj) but the chicken was PHENOMENAL. The spices they use were incredible and it was roasted to perfection. I wish we had just ordered a full chicken with the side of pita. The owner and waitress were very happy to have our business and were very talkative with us, talking about the economy and Europe, etc.

We got the "full experience" of mediterranean cuisine that night. It was my boyfriend's birthday too and so they served us baklava and some kind of cookie free of charge. Lovely people, outstanding chicken.

spit roasted chicken = amazing.  if you have to call ahead for something because they might run out at 5:30 pm on a tuesday, it's fucking good.  also the lima beans are wonderful, and everything else is really good.

After recently getting dinner to go from here for the first time, I wish I had discovered this place much sooner! The half chicken, although quite small, was very flavorful and juicy. It almost had a lemony flavor. The hummus, which came with 2 fresh pitas, was also excellent...you could tell it was homemade. I wasn't a huge fan of the green beans. For some reason they reminded me of applesauce (not the texture, just the flavor). Skip the basmati rice, unless you like yours cold and tasting like a bag of rice you could just boil yourself- big disappointment.

I'll have to remember to come get my fill of roasted chicken and hummus from this restaurant when I'm in area again!
