"I gravitate toward flavor and typically enjoy seasoned/spicy food. So, when I ordered the Zesty Feta Chicken Wrap, I was expecting a little zip. I was caught completely off guard by the heat in this wrap. Zesty would have been a good description of about 1/4 of the spice in this meal. What I ate tasted more like the lid had fallen off the spice bottle. I 'd compare the spiciness to some Indian dishes I 've had. As I ate it, my eyes watered and my nose ran. I ended up removing some of the spicy feta from the second half of the wrap, and was really only able to finish it because I had sides of cole slaw and fruit to calm my mouth. Spice level aside, the food was good. It came with a bowl of soup. From a few options, I chose chicken tortilla. It contained a lot of shredded cheese and was not spicy. I would have liked a bit more flavor in the soup and way less in the wrap. After I got home, I looked up the menu to see what had made this meal so incredibly spicy. Answer: Tyrokafteri feta. I wasn 't familiar with Tyrokafteri and must have glossed over the word on the menu. For my fellow initiated diners, it 's a spread the features hot chili peppers. You 've been warned. The place a very busy when I was there, but we were seated immediately and the service was pretty fast, though not particularly attentive. It was awhile before our water was refilled and our server never asked if we enjoyed our food, so I never had a chance to mention the extreme spiciness of the wrap. The Original Granny 's has a large menu with all kinds of breakfast and lunch options. I 've been there before, and I 'll be back, but will not order the Zesty Feta Chicken Wrap when I do."
