Kefi, Insanely Popular Greek Restaurant, Reopens Tonight

011009kefi7.jpg Good news for budget gourmands on the Upper West Side; after being closed for two days by the Department of Health, Kefi will reopen tonight at 5 p.m. The wildly popular Greek restaurant, which recently moved to a bigger space with the same high-quality, low-priced menu, was closed Wednesday after a health inspector cited them for missing paperwork, improper food storage, and not having a sink in the basement where prep work is done. A publicist for Michelin-starred chef Michael Psilakis tells us "the proper paperwork has been filed and an inspection this afternoon resulted in zero violations. Opa!" That last bit, according to the internets, is a Greek exclamation used to express joy.

can someone explain to me if gyro's are a greek, arab or israeli food. Same thing with hummus.

Gyros are Greek. Shawarma is the Arabic version and doner kebabs are the Turkish version. This is one thing I learned while living in Bay Ridge.

Me and my entire family got food poisoning from this place last Tuesday and it took us all an entire week to recover. So, we're obviously not shocked that the DOH shut them down. Never going back!

You moron, their shut down had nothing to do with actual food violations. Go suck on a lemon.
