Hi foodies! Yesterday I had a great dinner at
Kefi
. The food was really delicious.
Kefi 505 Columbus Avenue, New York, NY 10024
(Dinner - September 2011)
Kefi serves unique and flavorful food. To start off my meal at Kefi, I ordered the Selection of Spreads, which was Yogurt, "Caviar", Eggplant, and Chickpea. I loved all the spreads but my favorite was the Eggplant. For appetizers I liked the Grilled Octopus, Bean Salad. The octopus was tender and flavorful. The House-made Cypriot Sausage, Cucumber, Radish, Olives, Tzatziki. The sausage was very tasty especially dipped in the Tzatziki. The Crispy Cod, Garlic Potatoes, Tomato was very good. The fish itself was delicious and so were the potatoes. The White Bean Soup was good but I didn't love it. I liked the texture but I felt it needed something more to boost the flavor. For entrees I loved the Pork Medallions, Spicy Peppers, Capers, Lemon. The sauce accompanying the pork was incredible. The Shrimp, Orzo, Spinach, Tomato, Feta was delicious. The shrimp was tender and tasty. The Sheep Milk Ravioli, Brown Butter and Sage were very good. It was simple but delicious. The Hanger Steak, Sausage, Broccoli Rabe, Manouri, Sun-Dried Tomatoes was very good. The steak was cooked well and the sausage was unique and good. For dessert the Walnut Cake, Walnut Ice Cream was the best. It had a very interesting texture and a great taste. The Galaktobouriko, Orange Spoon Fruit was very unique. It had a great orange essence to it. The Yogurt, Nuts, Fruit was very good. It had candied fruits on top and some of the syrup from the fruit oozed down the two scoops of yogurt. The sweet fruit and the tangy yogurt made a great dessert. The Chocolate Mousse & Halva, Sesame Ice Cream was good. The halva was house-made and very good. The Rice Pudding, Candied Apple Marmalade, Nuts was a nice treat. I enjoyed the texture of the rice pudding. Kefi is good, casual restaurant.
