Kefi - New York

I used to frequent Kefi several years ago when they moved to Columbus Ave and always enjoyed the food and the overall experience. The restaurant was lively and perfect for larger groups. This was my first visit to their original location on 79th Ave, and I am thrilled to have found them again. The shrimp and orzo dish I had was delicious, the ambiance was charming, and despite the restaurant being empty due to COVID, the staff remained upbeat and funny. It was a truly enjoyable dining experience, and our waiter was just as delightful. Even though there was no ginger in our meals, his humor added an extra touch to the evening.

I am not reviewing the restaurant, but I want to make sure I receive my 100 points for dining.

Waiter was a bit overzealous with asking for drink and food orders when I told him I was waiting for someone. Good was ok but not great. Lamb shank with feta inside was not a good dish.

Great food. Great service. Always a solid performance.

By far the best Greek food I’ve had since visited Greece. Not to mention, the ambiance and service is impeccable. A must try!
