King Tut's Knoxville

     Over the weekend I was craving Greek food and didn't know where to go, so I looked in Knoxville and seen the list of Greek restaurants.  I decided to try out King Tut's.  This restaurant is located off of Champan Highway on Martin Mill Pike (it's real esay to get to). 

  When you first see this place you are like, what in the world???  This cannot be good.  But, if anyone knows me, I am always up for an adventure...this was no exception.  Upon entering the premises the inside shocks you even more.

     There are all kinds of signs and such scattered throughout the place.  It's great!!  Seriously, if you are looking for a unique place, this is it!!  Upon sitting in this tiny establishment, I was greeted by Mo, the owner.  This guy is one of a kind.  He brought a menu (which is hard to decipher, it's scattered and you really don't know what's what).  He made some suggestions on what to get (Egyptian Platter or the Greek Salad).  I choose a gyro (if it's no good then I know the rest won't be).  I do like my Greek food.  As always I order a sweet tea (sorry Mo, but your sweet tea is a mix and not brewed, so I didn't like it as much).  What made my sweet tea tolerable is how it came...IN A VASE!!!  I LOVE THIS!!!

     Mo was highly interactive with me...did a magic trick...then we played a game of chess for dessert.  Mo cleaned my clock...come to find out he plays 7 days a week and plays customers often...so be prepared to lose if you take him up on his challenge. 
     Mid chess game the food came out.  The gyro was great, it had sauteed peppers and onions, with the Tzatziki sauce along with lettuce, purple onions and tomatos (I chose no lettuce or purple onions).  Then I had the dessert (since I lost I had to but it). 
     Talking to Mo, he informed me at night he gives everyone in the restaurant an instrument and then he turns on all his lights (as seen in the photos) and they have a big party with people standing in the seats and on the tables, they even karaokee...I must return for this.  granted there would probably be 15 people max in this place, I still be it would be fun. 
     Overall, this was a great experience, not a place to take a first date, unless they are as demented as you are.  The pricing and food are a good value.  I would highly recommend this experience.  I would like to know your thoughts if you go.
