Perhaps one of the most looked forward to item at the Greek Festival is the Pastry Booth filled with homemade pastries including this bento box of Baklava.  Always in high demand lines form at the Pastry Booth from start to finish much like the malasada booth at the Punahou carnival.   Along with Baklava they also serve kourambiedes, melomakarona and much more.  The dough is rolled the old-fashioned way with broomstick rolling pins and honey, nuts, fruits and creams mixed with love.  Secret recipes have been passed down generation to generation giving the Greek festival product a special unique quality.

One of the most famous food items at the Greek Festival 2010 at McCoy Pavilion in Ala Moana Beach Park is the Gyro.  The Greek dish consists of meat, tomatoes, onions and a tzatziki sauce (yogurt based)  served on a pita bread.  The meat (usually a beef lamb combination is cooked on a tall vertical spit and sliced into thin crispy shavings.
