Kriti Kitchen opened Jan. 17 in the Weslayan Plaza Shopping Center, 4010 Bissonnet St., Houston. The eatery is run by Mary Cuclis, according to a Jan. 17 press release.
“We crafted the menu with the goal of creating quality dishes for individuals and families who are constantly on the go,” Cuclis said in a statement.
The cafe offers all-day breakfast and lunch menus, and dishes are made with an emphasis on seasonal ingredients, according to the release.
The interior of the space is decorated with custom-built bronze and marble shelves that are filled with Greek olive oil, wines and dry goods. Greek-inspired baked goods will also be sold from a counter display.
Cuclis said recipes for her menu items were derived from her own Greek roots. She comes to her new endeavor after spending time at the Michelin-starred Bo Innovation in Hong Kong and at Pondicheri in Houston, according to the release.
Menu items include mezze boards, salads, wraps and protein bowls. A daily brunch menu will feature items such as the Mizithrapita—a cheese-stuffed pancake with a honey drizzle and a nut crumble. The venue will also offer a selection of Greek beer, wine and nonalcoholic Greek beverages.
In another effort to cater to families on the go, Kriti offers a rotating selection of "Heat & Eat" takeout meals that can be ordered ahead of time and picked up at the restaurant on the same day. Each meal comes with a list of ingredients and serving instructions.
