With their lives in Greece behind them, Christos Nicolaou and Sarah Griffin are bringing their culture to Gainesville through a little restaurant at the corner of Jesse Jewell and E E Butler. The husband and wife, he from Greece and she from Gillsville, are working to open Alpha Gyro Grill, a Greek restaurant selling gyros and traditional dishes of grilled meats and vegetarian specials based on a lifetime of experience in the Mediterranean country. Some of the dishes are a blend of Turkish and Greek cooking, others just have Turkish names (like moussaka), Nicolaou said.
