Krasi Tzatziki Price

Krasi's Tzatziki is a Greek appetizer made with Greek yogurt, cucumber, dill, and garlic, seasoned with sea salt and served with sourdough bread. At Krasi, the ingredients are mixed tableside by the staff, a presentation that distinguishes it from pre-made versions. The Tzatziki price on Krasi’s menu is between $14.00 and $16.00.

The Tzatziki at Krasi is compared to the version from Greco, a fast-casual Greek eatery in Boston that serves a traditional, pre-prepared dip. Krasi's tableside preparation method emphasizes the freshness of the ingredients. The tzatziki serves as a starter that pairs with grilled meat dishes like the Chicken, Pork, or Lamb Souvla. It also complements seafood items such as the Tsipoura (grilled sea bream), Garides Spetsiota (grilled shrimp), and Soupia (grilled cuttlefish). Diners have described the dish as having an authentic Greek flavor and have noted the freshness that results from the tableside mixing.

Tzatziki's origins trace back to the Ottoman Empire, with related sauces found in Middle Eastern and Balkan cuisines. The dish is a meze on the menu at Krasi, a Greek restaurant in Boston’s Back Bay. The restaurant's name means 'wine' and its operation is guided by the Greek concept of "Philoxenia," or hospitality. The menu, developed by Culinary Director Brendan Pelley, Executive Chef Jerry Pabla, and Chef Partner Theo Tsilipanos, focuses on region-specific Greek dishes. The restaurant also features an all-Greek wine list to accompany the food.
