What is this food? (Greek dish)?!


Question: What is this food? (Greek dish)?
I ordered out to this greek place. It's a "sampler" dish. It come with humus and pita bread. Some Falafal, and with the falafal there are these little things that are wrapped up in sea weed. They almost look like a cluster rice, but...im not sure what it is. Since I dont know what it is. Thanks :)

Yep, I also assume you're seeing leaves from a grape plant/vine, wrapped around rice and other things though stuffings can vary, called dolmas.
They can be made from raw or cooked/blanched leaves and also made from other large leaves like collards/kale/cabbage, etc. (the ones using grape leaves are yaprak dolma). Grape leaves in the U.S. are usually purchased in jars with brine**.
Dolmas are very common in Greek places, and even places like Whole Foods,etc.

since it was a Greek restaurant, it most likely was stuffed grape leaves, called dolma or sarma.



Since i don't know too many Greek restaurants that serve "seaweed", I suspect that you're talking about stuffed grape leaves, or dolma. Yummy with tzaziki!



Dolmades, or stuffed grape leaves.



You seem to be referring to stuffed grape leaves
