    A beautiful restaurant with authentic and delicious, fresh foods. Support this amazing locally-owned and operated restaurant and enjoy the most Greek food outside of running to fly to Athens. Seriously, this is so good. You can also buy authentic imported goods like olive oil. Come here to get dipping olive oil and fresh baked goods if you can't stay for dinner. I wish I lived closer but am happy to go when there is an occasion to visit nearby.

    Service was spot on with Husein, Thank You Husein! Started with caramel Apple martini's and holy moly....excellent! Tsaziki and it was amazeballs! My wife had the lemon orzo soup and Greek salad and it was spot on, fresh and very yummy. I had the Greek burger with rice and a side salad...absolutely delish! The wife and I were stuffed and no room for deserts.

    Pasta Kotopoulo

    We have driven by this place so many times and never stopped....until today. We wanted something different. The inside is so nice! At first I thought there was a dress code and I was concerned given I was wearing shorts...but the hostesses welcomed us in. It was one of those moments were I felt super welcomed and I rarely feel that these days. The service was pretty good! I ordered the Pasta Kotopoulo. It was SO GOOD. We also ordered the watermelon salad and that was to die for. We rarely cheat on our Food For Thought because it's hardly ever worth it, but this place was so good, we will definitely come back.

    Lamb shank- fork tender and so well seasoned.

    It's been a while since we ate in the restaurant. Their takeout family meals are so good and generous we usually get those. We stopped in for lunch on a Saturday, and although the restaurant was busy, service was as friendly and welcoming that it felt like we were the only customers. Because of the layout of the restaurant, even busy, it's quiet enough to easily have conversations. We started with the tzatziki, creamy and garlicky, with lovely fresh pita. For our mains, we had the boneless leg of lamb, the lamb shank, and the shrimp with pasta. Both the leg of lamb and the shank were so tender, delicious, and perfectly spiced, and the shrimp was cooked beautifully. The shrimp and lamb shank were served with a lightly sauced spaghetti, with a tiny hit of heat at the end. The leg of lamb came with vegetables and potatoes, and was plated beautifully. Portions are generous but get some house-made desserts to take home. This restaurant is just a delight. It feels like the best of an old fashioned family place, but with high standards that are more than met.

    I remember really liking this place the last time I came but this time it kind of missed a lot of marks. First of all, they ran out of the swordfish special so I ordered the whole branzino at market price ($38). My mom was able to get the last swordfish but it only tasted all right to me. The branzino was nothing special either. The skin wasn't crispy and they make you take it apart yourself, I had to add a lot of salt and pepper to it as it was kind of tasteless. The best part of our meal was the Kephi Cold Pikilia which was three dips, dolmades, and pita bread. This was good! But I do wish the pita bread was a little more toasted. Then for service, we were waiting for ages for our food to come out and then finally pay at the end. We literally had to get up from our table to try to find someone so that we could pay. Nice servers, but weirdly overwhelmed even though the restaurant wasn't busy. I don't need to come back any time soon.

    Took my favorite person for an "authentic Greek night out" and Kephi absolutely delivered. From the moment we walked in, it felt like we were transported right back to the little tavernas we loved in Greece - warm hospitality, the smell of oregano and grilled meat in the air. Started with the Horiatiki salad and wow. Huge chunks of perfectly ripe tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, red onion, green peppers, a generous slab of feta (not crumbled, the proper way), Kalamata olives, and drenched in their house olive oil. Simple, but executed so well it made us close our eyes and smile. For mains we went big: * The house specialty Lamb shank over pasta - absolute winner. The meat was fall-off-the-bone tender, the pasta soaked up every bit of that rich, lemony, tomato-y sauce. I'm still thinking about it. * The nightly special: pork tenderloin stuffed with feta and Kalamata olives, served with mashed potatoes and seasonal veggies. Insanely good. The salty punch of the feta/olive filling with the juicy pork was next-level, and those mashed potatoes were creamy, garlicky perfection. Pro tip: Call ahead for reservations! We called a few days ahead and snagged one of the last weekend tables - the place was packed (always a good sign). Service was friendly, attentive, and genuinely Greek-warm without being overbearing. Bonus: parking was surprisingly easy.

    FANTASTIC! We were in the area and came across this location on Yelp. Many people said great things about Kephi. So we decided to try them out. It was myself and my family. Parking is easy to navigate. Once inside the hues of blue surrounded us. We were seated immediately. We place an order of just about everything, especially when it came to dessert. We tried to order all different things so we can have a taste of just about everything. Everything was fantastic and very authentic. Our server was awesome. He was very attentive. He was very helpful to another table who were having trouble navigating the menu. The desserts.. .the desserts! There is so many to choose from. There are many cookies, cakes, pies ect. We went up to the case to take a look at everything and placed our order that way. The desserts were also very authentic. Overall Kephi is on the list for Williamsburg eats. I highly recommend Kephi.

    Very friendly and helpful service. Beautiful ambience with Greek music playing. The food tasted fresh and delicious with a variety of authentic desserts to round out the experience. Reminded me very much of my trip to Greece. We will be back soon to try more of the menu.

    Kephi is a wonderful authentic Greek spot with personal touches that make you feel like you're in a cozy restaurant no matter how busy they are. We've been here multiple times and each time was amazing. Most recently we had traditional gyros for lunch and shared a traditional dessert from the extensive dessert case. The meat in our gyros was tender and the tzatziki was thick and not runny. We love coming here, the food is amazing and as long the restaurant isn't packed the service is good.

    After several friends recommending this restaurant we decided to drive to Williamsburg and try it out. The menu is large so there is something for everyone. We had the zucchini fritter for appetizer. They were good but a little "mushy" for my taste. I ordered a sandwich and it was good. My husband ordered the kebobs and loved them. The desserts looked amazing but we were too full to order one. Next time I will save room! Our server was very attentive and helpful with our questions. I was surprised at how large the restaurant was but their was a steady flow of patrons!

    Ate here again and sadly this place really missed the mark. Decided to try the gyro again, that maybe the first time was an off-night. Meat still not good or flavorful. I think being a Greek restaurant you should be able to do decent gyro meat. Hostess was rude, and then ended up giving us the specials menu from the night before. Why would you still have those out on the hostess stand? The worst past is that two of our guests ordered them and was not informed by our waitress that they didn't have those specials that evening till almost a half hour after we had ordered. Bad service. Really the only redeeming quality was the Oreo cake slice from the evening.

And the food only paled in comparison to the service. I'm not sure if Alvaro is the owner or related to the proprietor--it's obvious he LOVES his job, he was engaging and knowledgeable and his recommendations were spot on. He suggested the Mezze platter as our appetizer (I ended up eating it as my entire meal). He also was so animated and excited about the buttery sauce that was used in the process of making the lamb chops, we ordered both purely because he was so confident we would like them. And that is where he made his mistake--we didn't LIKE them; we LOVED them! The lamb was cooked to perfection. The appetizer platter was an explosion of flavors--and trust me, the falafel alone is worth the trip back. All too often, falafel is made with the premise that bigger is better. Falafel can taste gummy and dry if it made too large. Baladi had mastered the perfect falafel. They make them small, crunchy and flavorful. Hands down, it was my favorite. And then I tasted the babaganouush! Oh my, my, my! I didn't think the falafel had competition, but that babaganouush nearly melted in my mouth. Look for me when you visit here because Baladi is my new favorite restaurant.

    Went here with my son. We were greeted and seated by our server quickly. The drinks were okay…read more. nothing special. I had the hibiscus Collins, very lackluster. We split our entree's. I had the lamb kebabs with grilled veggies. The lamb was cooked medium-rare as I had requested & was delicious. The veggies were a nice addition. My son had the Kufta meatballs (lamb & beef with herbs). They were tasty, but terribly dry. Our service was very good & the place was filling up as we were leaving. They have a nice little "grocery" area where can select items to take home. Overall, the experience was good & id go back again!

Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and authentic, and you can watch it being prepared in the open kitchen. Everyone at our table enjoyed their meal, and there were no complaints about the food at all. What made the experience a little strange was the service. During our visit, the owner was noticeably short with the one and only server and spoke to her in a way that felt belittling, especially in front of customers. It was uncomfortable to watch. At the same time, the waitress asked us to leave her tip in cash or through Cash App before we had even received our food. That felt a little unusual and off-putting, as though we were being steered toward a specific way of tipping before any service had really happened. She had also mentioned that a birthday treat was coming out, but after we waited for a bit, she came back and told us the owner was upset with her and wasn't sending it out after all. That was odd and left us a little confused. Overall, it was a weird experience from a service standpoint, but the food was genuinely excellent. If you're going for authentic gyros and Mediterranean food, it's worth a visit. Just be prepared that the atmosphere may be a little unpredictable.
