Yeero! Yeero! could be one of the most easily overlooked restaurants in town. Painted white and blue like the Greek flag, the eatery, near the corner of Youree and Southfield, started as a drive-through, and it still looks like that's all it is from the outside. However, the inside of Yeero! Yeero! has the feel of an upscale restaurant: marble floors, pressed tin ceiling, ornate tables and chairs. The leather-bound menus contain a host of Greek sandwiches and dishes, which are the real reason for the crowd. My dining experience was quite an enjoyable one. I started with an order of spanakopita, or spinach pie. The spinach itself was a little bland, but the buttery dough makes it much easier to eat your greens. For my entrée, I ordered moussaka, a sort of Greek lasagna. It was plentiful in flavor. The dish was served with a side of fresh, hot, wonderfully soft pita bread. Even though the portion wasn't overwhelming, I couldn't finish it. Throughout the meal, my glass was kept full and the ambiance allowed us to forget I was next to one of the busiest intersections in Shreveport. As I finished, the baklava sounded tempting, but I was too stuffed. I'll have to remember it next time, because I'm sure I'll return.
