"This Greek-ish, fast casual spot breathes fresh air and light into its corner of Belmont. Aromas of savory smoke and seared meats fill the air inside and outside as patrons walk by the space, thanks to the wood-fired grill at the front. Team members grill souvlakis of spiced lamb and oregano chicken, accompanied by seasonal vegetables garnished with ingredients like preserved lemon, green tahini, and sunflower seeds. Diners have an array of options to choose from beyond the skewers, however, and will find it hard to choose between a loaded hummus bowl — topped with golden raisins and spiced beef — or savory sides like spanakopita hand pies and stewy braised beans. But they will likely vote yes on Bluto’s soft serve, which comes covered in a white chocolate tahini shell, or topped with honey and halva sesame paste candies." - Katrina Yentch
