Goga's: A Sign of Parker's Culinary Evolution

If there's a sign that Parker's culinary scene has evolved beyond generic burgers and Mexican, it's the rich experience served up at Goga's Mediterranean Cuisine. The almost-six-month-old restaurant offers a small, well-edited Armenian and Greek menu with six choices of kabobs---from filet mignon to lamb---three fish selections, and a handful of salads and appetizers. I opted for the lamb kabob with rice, baba ghanoush, and an Armenian salad (a mix of cucumbers, lettuce, tomatoes, and onions). I like my lamb with a little bit of bite but not overdone, and my meal didn't disappoint. The smooth baba ghanoush had just a hint of tang, and the salad was fresh and crunchy. The entrée easily could have been enough for me and my two children, but kids get a choice of a beef or chicken kabob---plus sides---for free. They finished every bite of their tender chicken and hot fries. Even more entertaining: My three-year-old son stared at the belly dancer flitting among the tables. I think he got her number. (The belly dancer performs on Friday and Saturday evenings.) Bonus: Goga's servings are both generous and well priced, with dinner entrées running $10.99 to $16.99. 19878 E.

For people not living in or near city center or along well populated travel corridors, having a place like Goga's in Parker is great to satisfy those cravings that only a good ganoush can. The fare is above average, the staff attentive, and there is not a bad bite in the meal. They seem to practice the notion that the first time you come you are a guest, the second, you are family. In this day of fast food and chain restaurants staffed will snotty servers Goga's is a welcome relief. The Lady and I will be back plenty...

Just got back from Goga's and I couldn't agree more! The only thing you didn't mention were the attractive servers! Oh, and a bottle of wine really enhances the meal (and belly dancer). Great place!
