You might totally miss this little place on 79th, but inside is some awesome Greek food. It’s cramped and not good for groups, but still totally worth checking out. UPDATE 8/09: Kefi has moved into a larger location, and also expanded their menu a bit. The food is super flavorful, the ingredients are fresh, and portions are just right. There are so many menu selections that we can’t wait to come back and try every single one. You’ll be surprisingly full just dining on the appetizers, tapas-style.
*new pics!*
Man cannot live by bread and water alone. But at least they give you a full bottle of water.
Crispy tender calamari with tzatziki yogurt dip.
Adult Material Warning! Sea creatures including giant octopus tentacles may not be suitable for small children, but are full of flavor and fork-tender.
Pasta in a Greek restaurant? With olives and feta, of course. Zesty with loads of zing.
Spread of Appetizers: meatballs, assorted dips, grilled octopus, fava bean soup. Garlic reigns supreme throughout.
