Wow! Fantastic truly elegant Greek restaurant centrally located between Fifth and Sixth Aves, down the street from the Algonquin Hotel, Harvard Club and Sofitel. A block from Grand Central. The food was so amazing, every single dish we ordered was perfect. Greek salad, large chunks of fresh, crisp and very sweet tomatoes, peppers, red onions... Spanakopita-- really hearty... Whole Lavraki-- a Mediterranean seabass-- with a delicate lemon caper sauce that perfectly complemented the tender filleted whole fish... Kellari Chips-- thinly sliced eggplant and zucchini chips served with tzatziki (yogurt) sauce. Prices are reasonable for the excellent quality... We dine in and order out often, and the quality is always the best and our number one go to for Greek or seafood... forget Milo's, Avra, and Molyvo's. Kellari is our new favorite.
Met an old friend tonight and he recommended this spot for Greek. Good food and excellent wine. Service was mixed but I'll blame much of that on the noise. I'd give the music and ambient noise level an "energetic" so take that as you will... The dishes were beautiful, food was all good, and the portions were perfect. Definitely recommend.
A very great restaurant. The fish is amazing. (flounder?) The atmosphere is comfortable. Carlos is warm and helpful. Will visit again if possible.
We took a recommendation from the firefighters at FDNY 65, and they absolutely nailed it. Kellari Taverna offered one of the most wonderful dining experiences we’ve had in the city. We tried the pre-theatre menu, and every dish was mouthwatering—fresh, authentic, and perfectly prepared. The atmosphere is beautiful, striking that perfect balance between elegant and welcoming with its bright, airy feel. It truly is a great spot for a special night out or a pre-show meal. Beyond the food, the service was truly exceptional. The staff was attentive and timed everything perfectly for our show. It was more than just a meal; it was a wonderful memory made. Highly recommend!
My husband and I were here for a pre-theater meal a few weeks ago. We come from the excellent eating city of Chicago(!) and have often had mixed experiences trying to get a "great" meal in a "time crunch" situation. Kalleri Taverna is THE spot. I'm stunned that this restaurant is not just 5 stars across the board. Maybe it's history? I don't know. I can tell you that everything we ate was superb. The calamari appetizer had the light breading and delicious crunch you are looking for. The salad was bright with a light dressing. The halibut special was outstanding. Portions were large. We split everything. A particular shout out of appreciation to our waiter, Leo. Delightfully professional. Endlessly knowledgable and attentive. Just go here. You'll see what I mean. Excellent across the board.
