Kefi

I was staying with a good friend in Columbia and she suggested that we went to a Greek restaurant in the Upper West Side. Greek food is not something that I am very familiar with so I was excited to expand my food knowledge. The restaurant was decorated in shades of white and dark blue, colors that are often seen when one thinks of Greece. The walls were decorated with lovely plates and lantern like lamps.

Sheep's Milk Dumplings, Tomatoes, Pine Nuts, and Spicy Lamb Sausage
The dumplings were soft and rich with milky flavor. The zesty tomato sauce and bite size bits of spicy sausage balanced the fluffy milkiness of the dumplings and resulted in a perfect bite each time. We had a lot of fun wiping up the rest of the sauce with bread. 

Braised Lamb Shank and Orzo
The lamb was braised to such perfection that as you start working your way into it the meat just simply fell off. The meat was succulent and extremely tender with the sauce penetrating every morsel. The orzo was also seasoned very well and cooked to al dente. The dish was very hearty and also bursting with flavor, was in no way overwhelming or too salty.
