Customers can dine in at the Hamden restaurant accompanied by live-streamed music. Pickup and delivery services are also available from Mondays to Saturdays.

The update coincides with a study published by Vegetarian Times Magazine, revealing that 7.3 million Americans now follow a vegetarian diet. In addition, the number of vegans in the U.S increased from 0.4% to nearly 3.5% over the past 2 years.

Together with providing meat-free options, the restaurant promotes the Mediterranean diet which is high in fresh vegetables, nutrient-rich foods, and unsaturated fats such as olive oil.

“Sensing a growing movement towards fresh, healthier foods, Meriden native Peter Vouras opened the first Freskos in early 2016 as an alternative to traditional fast-food establishments,” said a representative.

Freskos’s menu highlights include imported, dairy-free Greek veggie burgers with a soft bun, lettuce, tomato, red onion, and optional tzatziki. Grilled, organic, marinated tofu souvlaki is served on warm pita bread with red onion, tomato, fresh dill, and tzatziki and the Ya’Sou Gyro, a plant-based gyro!

Other main courses include vegetarian pita pizza with extra virgin olive oil, red onion, Kalamata olives, green peppers, imported feta, and mozzarella. The restaurant’s appetizers and sides include feta sticks, cheese balls, lemon potatoes, stuffed grape leaves, and Gigantes – giant Greek beans in a tomato and olive oil sauce.

For non-vegetarians, a wide variety of meat-based dishes are available including chicken and pork souvlaki and classic gyros. The menu also includes traditional Greek and Horiatiki salads, soups, desserts, and beverages.

Family-run restaurant Freskos was founded by Peter Vouras – a former VoxPop magazine publisher, stand-up comedian, and actor. The restaurant imports many of its fresh ingredients to provide customers with an authentic Greek dining experience. The eatery has been voted ‘Best Greek Restaurant’, ‘Best Gyro’, ‘Best Salad’, and ‘Best Mediterranean Restaurant’ in CTNOW’s Best of New Haven reader’s poll.

A satisfied customer said: “I can’t say enough amazing things about Freskos. It’s the go-to place for my wife and me when we are in the mood for Greek food. They have a great variety of choices to switch it up and it is so authentic! My wife is a vegetarian and was so excited to try the tofu souvlaki. Now she gets it every time.”

Asian Football Confederation postpones the 2027 Asian Cup because of conflict in the Middle East

SEOUL — The 2027 Asian Cup soccer tournament has been delayed almost a year in the wake of recent deadly attacks on Saudi Arabia, becoming the biggest sports event to be postponed amid the conflict in the Middle East. The Asian Football Confederation issued a statement Tuesday saying that after extensive consultations with Saudi organizers it had decided to push the start of its marquee continental championship back from Jan. 7 to Dec. 23. Local organizers agreed to reschedule in “circumstances arising from developments in the region, including substantial logistical complexities and travel disruptions,” the AFC said. “Exceptional circumstances have been created for the organization and delivery of the competition as originally scheduled, making the postponement necessary in the interest of all participating teams, officials, spectators and other stakeholders.” The new dates — Dec. 23, 2027 to Jan. 21, 2028 — will be submitted to FIFA for approval. The monthlong tournament was scheduled to feature 24 teams playing matches in eight venues across Riyadh, Jeddah, and Khobar. Iran qualified and has been grouped with Syria, China and Kyrgyzstan for the league stage. The Saudis, Australia, South Korea and Japan were top seeds in other groups. The AFC's announcement ended months of speculation about a postponement which, until recently, had been rejected by local organizers. Muhammed Q. Alghamdi, a spokesman for the organizing committee, last month told members at an AFC meeting in Tokyo that “daily life is ongoing in Saudi Arabia.” Before that meeting, AFC President Sheikh Salman bin Ibrahim Al Khalifa had indicated potential for the Asian Cup to be postponed by a year if necessary and said a final decision could be delayed until late November. Other sports disruptions The Saudi Formula 1 Grand Prix was canceled this season, and the Bahrain race was relocated to Malaysia because of safety concerns related to the Iran war. Races in Qatar and Abu Dhabi are still on the calendar, and F1 has kept Saudi Arabia on the 2027 schedule with a grand prix planned there in March. The WTA Finals, the season-ending event in women’s tennis, was moved from Saudi Arabia to Indian Wells, California. Asia's marquee continental club soccer tournament — the AFC Champions League Elite — has already been disrupted. A game between Cristiano Ronaldo ’s Al-Nassr and Uzbekistan’s Neftchi Fergana was delayed on Oct. 12 after Saudi Arabia’s Civil Defense issued a security alert. An Al-Nassr’s home game last week was postponed when against Al-Wasl of the United Arab Emirates didn't travel to Riyadh. Impact on Asian Cup teams Tuesday’s postponement means national federations across Asia face decisions about coaching staff with the originally scheduled Asian Cup marking the end of a four-year cycle before attention turns toward qualification for the 2030 World Cup. Australia coach Tony Popovic, who guided the Socceroos to the knockout stage of the 2026 World Cup, turned down a four-year contract extension in September in favor of a shorter deal through the Asian Cup. “It was my choice to go until the Asian Cup,” Popovic said at the time, saying a decision on his longer-term future would then be made with the Australian federation. “I know the legacy that I will leave behind,” he said. “And if it’s someone else that takes it forward, that’s fine. If it’s me, great, we agree to do this together.” South Korea is also in a difficult position. After a disappointing World Cup, the Korea Football Association appointed Robert Moreno as interim coach in September. The former Spain coach was given a contract through the end of November, with the possibility of a two or three-month extension to cover the Asian Cup. A strong tournament was expected to lead to a permanent appointment but now the KFA will have to make a decision without seeing how the team performs in the continental championship which it hasn't won since 1960. After the World Cup, Japan gave coach Hajime Moriyasu an extension through the Asian Cup, with under-21 coach Go Oiwa then due to take over. “Mr. Moriyasu has already shown that he can win in Asia, and we hope he can do so again by winning the Asian Cup,” Japan Football Association President Tsuneyasu Miyamoto said when the appointment was announced. “We worked backward from the goal of winning the Asian Cup. As for Mr. Oiwa, as the U-21 manager, we wanted him to focus on winning the Asian Games and to remain fully committed to the U-21 team until the end of the year.” In Iraq, coach Graham Arnold signed an extension after the World Cup that was also designed to run through the Asian Cup.
