this is my go to place for lunch or early dinner when i go to Broadway. the food is the freshest and service always attentive we hadn’t like our Zucchini chips which were very soggy and our waiter was great he offered to redo it but we wanted to just have our entrees so he treated us to a dessert and coffee without charging us for any of it. i’ve never been disappointed with the quality of the food service and ambience of Kellari and i think they will continue to be a successful spot for many years to come

Excellent lunch price-fixe menu for pre-theater matinee. The food was outstanding. The restaurant is large (especially by NYC standards) and bright. It got crowded and was rather loud but I would come back in a heartbeat.

Everything was excellent . Very current and authentic Greek cuisine in a lovely elegant atmosphere . We went for a pre diner theatre menu which is more than sufficient for a wide selection of even a bigger menu if so desired . We had the zucchini kefedes and tuna tartare to start . Main course we had the zatar salmon and grilled lamb chops ; dessert we were quite hot therefore chose to just get pistachio ice cream and lemon sorbet . We had wine and let’s not forget they start with a small tray of Kalamata olives , tahini and olives with their olive bread . Service was in point and well worth the effort to make sure you dine here . There is outdoor seating as well . We will be back ! Thanks !
