Knight Restaurant on N San Fernando Blvd is Downtown Burbank's Greek counter -- 356 reviews at 4.4 stars where the review that best captures the experience is also the most specific: lamb gyro, fries, and a drink for $17.58 with fabulous portions.
That is a precise endorsement. It names the dish, lists the sides, gives the price, and calls the portions fabulous. At the $10-20 price point, Knight is delivering full Greek meals -- gyro, fries, drink -- for under $20. The lamb gyro is the dish to order first: lamb and beef cooked on a vertical spit, shaved to order, served in a warm pita with tzatziki. The portions are the kind that make you reconsider whether you needed the fries.
Greek food at this price point is the most consistent value in the Mediterranean cuisine category. When a Greek kitchen is doing its job -- proper tzatziki, fresh pita, lamb that has been cooked correctly on the spit -- the result is a satisfying meal that a much more expensive restaurant would struggle to improve on.
For Downtown Burbank's lunch crowd, Knight Restaurant on N San Fernando Blvd is the Greek counter where the price, the portions, and the quality are all working together.
