Hello! I have seen a lot of "kleftiko night" and different places. What is kleftiko????

The name Kleftiko comes from the fact that the meat is baked in a sealed oven and hence retains its cooking juices. (A modern adaption of this dish is to bake the lamb in baking paper or foil, to obtain a similar effect.) The dish got its name from the word “kleftis” which means “robber” – due to the fact that mountain brigands would cook stolen meat in hidden, underground ovens

Oh ok, thank you. cool. I saw the sign before but now seeing more of the word, ALESTA does kleftiko
