My family and I went to Anasa for a special Celebration Dinner. It was wonderful!! Stevia/owner was very attentive and engaging. We split several appetizers and one was better than the other. For dinner, I had the whole fish which was delicious! The others had various specials. The Filet Mignon was beautifully presented and was tender and perfectly cooked as were the Lamb Chops. The Pastitsio and Moussaka were also excellent! We split a few of the different desserts and they were all scrumptious and quite decadent . (Unfortunately, there were no leftovers for doggie bags)! All of the food portions were plentiful and everything was amazing. The food was absolutely superb! Anasa is the perfect choice for a celebration, family get together or even for a quiet romantic dinner. It does not disappoint!! read more

I ordered lunch from work for the residents on my last day of service. No one could decide what they wanted so I took one for the team and fought my baseline indecisiveness. I hadn't had mediterranean in a while and I'm not head over heels for the place near me so I wanted to try something new. This place seemed decent enough. I ordered a greek salad and hummus with pita. There were varying gyros, another greek salad with chicken, some platters including the falafel platter that GF orderd. My salad was wonderful. The ingredients were fresh and that dressing was lovely. It was a salad I actually enjoyed instead of regretting the entire time I glared at my coworkers who ordered real shit with envy. The hummus was also very creamy, authentic hummus with a slightly different taste than I am used to but head and shoulders above any store bought bullshit. Everyone else said good shit about their food. I tried one of GF's falafel from her platter and it was really good. My only complaint is for $24 or whatever it is, i would expect more than a few falafel balls and one side. Kinda a rip off. But everything tasted really, really good. read more

Anasa is the place to go in White Plains for Greek food that will make you believe you are partaking of its delights by the Aegean Sea itself! We've been to Greece, and enjoy the cuisine immensely; and this spot is THE place to go on the side of the Atlantic for a real Greek experience. The gyro and souvlaki platters were so flavorful, and the portions were very generous! The tzatziki is the most amazing I've had for quite some time. The feta/rosemary fries were an ideal and pleasing side! For an appetizer, we had saganaki. It is a type of friend feta cheese with a honey glaze! So good! The staff keep your glasses filled, and stay on top of things (but not in an uncomfortable hovering way) to ensure you have a great experience! The dining room is comfortable, with seating for couples, all the way to big gatherings. This place is a MUST if you are in White Plains! Enjoy! read more

All I can say is WOW! Went to dinner last night with friends and had one of the specials (fish). Sorry, don't remember the name. I never had it before. I couldn't finish so I had the rest tonight. I think I could eat it every night forever. It was absolutely delicious. The spinach and broccoli were terrific, and I was lucky enough to have my girlfriend's remaining spinach that she couldn't fit in her little stomach. I love this restaurant. I think I should steal the chef. The place is always clean and cheerful and the staff who remember me when I come. They're so friendly and polite. I could eat there every night. Go, go, go and have a wonderful meal. You won't regret it, ever. read more

I went on a Sunday and was seated immediately. My server was friendly and welcoming, and he even let me sample the purple sangria, which was a nice touch. The wait for the food was a little longer than expected, but once everything arrived, it was well worth it. I ordered the lamb chops and salmon, and both were delicious. I was genuinely surprised by how flavorful and well-prepared everything was. The portions also came with a great variety of sides, including French fries, rice, pita bread, broccoli, and potatoes. There is only street parking available; however, I would definitely come back again. read more

This restaurant is fantastic! Six of us came here on a Tuesday evening to celebrate a birthday. The restaurant decorations on the inside made it feel like we were transported to a greek island! The service was spectacular, both the waitress and the owner were so incredibly kind and attentive, stopping by to recommend dishes and to make sure everything was great- which it was, the food was delicious! We had the Feta saganaki to share, the spinach pies to share, then we tried the beef/lamb gyro, the chicken skewers, the moussaka, and the souvlaki. This is one of those reviews where I find myself wanting to rave about the service just as much as I want to rave about the food. Without a doubt, would recommend this place for anyone wanting a beautiful family meal for a special occasion. Will definitely be coming back! read more

Pretty good Greek food in White Plains. We ate here today for lunch. A friend of ours sent us the link for this place and we decided to check it out today. The ambience is simple, with plenty of references to Greece and Greek culture along the walls. There was a speaker connected to a Greek radio station blaring near our table. The service was attentive and reliable. We ordered an assortment of mezes. We ordered the octopus, the Greek salad, the shrimp saganaki, the spanakopita, and the pita. Everything was very good, though still not as good as some of our favorite places in Astoria. I normally order the "cold dip sampler" at Greek restaurants, but chose not to today due to the lack of taramosalata (the caviar dip) on the menu. All in all, the food here is fine for Westchester, but it is not the best you can get in the NYC area. read more

Lorddddddddd. Cute place - small but classy vibes for sure. Service was attentive. But man, the food. Oh the food. Portions were bigger than I anticipated which is good. Flavorful, delicious, tender was everything we ordered. Good tzatziki sauce too and don't forget their desserts! It was all amazing and the Greek wines are top tier. Would return 100%. read more

Had a very unpleasant experience there. We called on short notice and said we could be accommodated for 7:15 PM. We arrived around 7:30 and the owner had a really bad attitude about that. Then the waitress insisted on our buying the most expensive wine on the list and no tasting was allowed. The wine was undrinkable. We were not allowed to return it. The food was good, but unfortunately, we will not return Why patronize a restaurant when your business is not wanted. read more

First time here, dinner for four with my mother-in-law... Wonderful, friendly, knowledgeable server, let us rearrange our dishes... My apologies to the kitchen... The food was the next level up even the Pitas and the zucchini, appetizer are standouts. I can only describe it as better ingredients, layered flavors, great presentation, and ample servings... Will be back for sure. Try to eat Greek once or twice a month depending upon where we are...we all voted to put this on the regular restaurant rotation. PS what we took home was great the next day as well. read more

Amazing experience tonight. We loved the food, and especially our server Jenny. She is amazing! If you want a great Greek restaurant try Anasa! read more

Four of us went on a Saturday night. We arrived abandoned were seated right away as we had a reservation. The place was crowded. We received menus but then waited about 20 minutes or so till they took our order. Too long. We ordered appetizers which came with pita. I'm extremely particular about pita as it's a signature component of Middle Eastern food. Unfortunately, it was soft as if it had been microwaved. Dinner eventually came out and the other three seemed to be pleased, but I wasn't so keen on my fish. It tasted salty. They comped us a dessert for their delay issues, but I can't say I would return there again. I know some of my friends love this place, but it wasn't for me. Oh well. read more

Fantastic! This place had a great ambiance, friendly service and tasty food. We got the octopus, hot mezze, to start - it was charred perfectly and the lemon sauce accompanying it was delicious. Next, we got the lunch platter (gyro, rice and salad) and it was very filling. We'll definitely be back! And you should definitely go! read more

Very cute place with a welcoming vibe. Truly Greek. We had Roditis white wine, octopus appetizer, Greek salad, lamb chops (come with your choice of 2 sides) and the sea bass special. Best grilled octopus! Everything we ate was delicious, seasoned and cooked to perfection. Great service from Brandon, he made terrific recommendations. The owner came over and said hello, which was nice as it was our first time there. Street parking only so plan accordingly. read more

I came here to pick up a take out order because I was really in the mood for a gyro (pronounce how you want to). The order was ready within 15 minutes of the phone call during lunch hour. The hostess that greeted me was friendly. The inside looked clean. And the gyro itself was excellent. It was filling and I didn't feel that I was shortchanged. It was well seasoned, the greens were fresh, white sauce was good and not overpowering, and the meat tasted fresh and not reheated. I will be back and check out what else they have to offer. read more

Anasa Greek Kitchen - That calamari made me talk about it all night. The only downfall was serving me olives with seeds. There is no cute way to spit at a table. - Greek Near Me - White Plains, New York

This place had the best costumer service that I had experience before. You can tell that the owner has passion for her customers. My waiter was very attentive as well. Make sure to make reservations, this place gets busy. I ordered the lamb shawarma platter and let me tell you, the lamb was juicy and absolutely delicious. The platter comes with one side so I ordered the broccoli. The dip sampler was our choice of three different dips. We had the eggplant , hummus, and a spicy garlic dip. I enjoyed the eggplant dip the most and it's served with warm pita bread. There's plenty of tables and it's great for groups. I overheard that they offer live music on a Wednesday night. I would definitely come back again. read more

Anasa Greek Kitchen - Sea bass, roasted potatoes and sauteed spinach - Greek Near Me - White Plains, New York

I took a friend who'd never had Greek food before and this place was authentic, tasty, fun, and great value. With Greek family I've been spoiled with really authentic food for decades. I was shocked when a friend said she'd never had it so I needed to find a place that would really showcase it. We had a bunch of appetizers and they were all terrific as a showcase for Greek food. Saganaki, multiple dips/spreads tzatziki, potato/garlic, eggplant all exceptional in their taste, dolmathes, falafel & hummus, and their spanikopita was fresh and fantastic. On a Monday night we had three kind, friendly super efficient staff waiting on us--unparalleled service. The resto is cute inside and out with large outdoor seating area. This was a real find and cannot wait to return and make it a regular outing. And do you remember your first bite of baklava? With a little cinnamon on it, THIS is the place to try it out. read more

I was quite impressed with Anasa after having visited only once before during the week they first opened their doors. At that time, the restaurant didn't really have it together, and we simply never were motivated to try it again. I'm glad I overcame my initial impressions. This evening's weeknight dinner for two was quite impressive. I had the lamb souvlaki and my friend enjoyed a greek salad with grilled chicken. We shared spanikopita. All three dishes were very tasty. The spanikopita was crispy and buttery without being dry, and my lamb was beautifully marinated and perfectly cooked. My friend said her salad was fresh and that the chicken was tender. She had a Greek beer and I enjoyed a Greek red wine, which the server accurately recommended as a good pairing with my lamb. Anasa has many more interesting dishes on the menu, for sure. However, for a casual, low-key midweek meal out, the basics were what we were looking for. Anasa is brightly lit, and with the tile floor, I can see it getting loud on a weekend night when the restaurant is full. For a 7:30pm arrival on a Tuesday, we were surprised that about half the tables were filled. Our server was celebrating his second day on the job, and he did an excellent job. Attentive and super friendly. The bill came to $48 pp with gratuity. Excellent cost-to-value. We'll be back. read more

My big fat Greek dinner, OPA. We had a really good meal while dining outdoors on their patio. A gorgeous spring night sipping Greek wine and eating. We ordered appetizers and main meals at the same time while instructing our very pleasant waiter to not bring out the food at the same time. He promised that wouldn't happen and it did not. I usually like to order an appetizer and then wait to put in the dinner order, but it wasn't necessary here. The Hummus was creamy and tasty served with a lot of pita bread points. I wanted to try Saganaki as I've never had it. They had 3 different Saganaki's. The first choice was the Greek cheese kefalograviera which I've never eaten so that was more interesting than the Feta which I've had often. The Ketalograviera was fried, and the feta pan-fried with a drizzle of honey and sesame seeds. I wanted the honey so I asked if they could do that with our choice? Our waiter replied that the honey came on the Feta. I asked if we could have it on the ketalograviera and he said yes. So, accommodating. What disappointed me though was that the cheese was just plated. A square of cheese with honey on top. No flame, no fanfare, I thought that is how saganaki is served? I really wanted to see it sizzling. Besides being an Instagrammable moment it would have made the cheese gooier which I would have preferred. It was tasty, but not what I expected. For entrees I ate the pork souvlaki platter. Two nice sized moist wood skewered pork kebobs with tzatziki sauce on the side and lemon potatoes. We asked for more pita points which the waiter was happy to bring more out. You can order broccoli, rice, lemon potatoes or fries as a side dish. The lemon potatoes weren't roasted, there was no char or crispness to them nor were they lemony tasting. They were also a bit hard, not good in my opinion. My daughter ordered the beef-lamb gyro platter. The meat was so flavorful and tender. She also had the lemon potatoes and tzatziki sauce on the side. For dessert we shared the Loukoumades which are dense small fried dough balls with honey and walnuts. They were good. We appreciated the staff refilling our water, busing the tables and checking on us throughout our dining experience. I would return to try other Greek dishes and sit outside. They were doing a bustling business so both indoor and outdoor areas were fairly full by dinner hour. The indoor were very nice but when I can dine outdoors that is my preference. read more

Anasa Greek Kitchen - Chicken Skewers with Lemon Potatoes - Greek Near Me - White Plains, New York

I love Greek cuisine when it's delicious. In this bracket, falls my only and truly favorite, Taverna Kyclades in QNS (and NYC) because they offer top-of-the-line seafood and it always slaps. So when hubs and I heard about Anasa on Central Avenue in White Plains, we had to come and try them for Sunday dinner. If it matters, long-time Nikos held this same spot until their closing in Dec'22. I'm picky with Greek food- especially their seafood+ seasonings. Since seafood is my only source of (meat) protein, it's gotta be tasty. Anasa, was that. Definitely not Taverna Kyclades level- but for the area, food was good. Anasa is fairly new since Feb '23 and there were minor setbacks. For instance- hubs and I loved the tenderness in the grilled octopus we ordered- but we weren't particularly fond of all the red vinegar that was almost swimming on the plate. Or that our server was attentive- but a bit choppy, forgetful and running back to the kitchen to 'double-check'. Stevia- the owner made sure her restaurant was running smoothly as she treated us as if we're part of the family. Hubs' lamb gyro made the cut for its good taste and my requested rare tuna medallions were melt-in-the-mouth fantastic. Our Greek salad with a considerable amount of diced, chunky feta in it was refreshing. As if feta wasn't enough, we ordered a side dish of it that had a nice olive oil drizzle. Anasa didn't hold back when it came to flavor on a Sunday in March when we came- plus they've got their hospitality down to a tee. Yamas- To many more years to come! read more

We stopped here for lunch one afternoon and it was amazing! The inside is so nice, the staff was so friendly, and the food was delicious! We ordered the hummus, beef/lamb gyro platter with a side of fries and side of rice, and the loukoumades and Greek coffee for dessert. I'm just realizing we were probably supposed to get pita with our platter and didn't so I'm a little sad about that now... Everything was so good though! Who doesn't love a good bread, fries, and rice though! I'd definitely recommend it and I will be back! Also please note there is a small parking lot nearby but it is not for these customers :( so you'll need to use the meters for parking! They do have a sign on the door warning that you may get towed if you use the lot! read more

Stopped by with my bestie for dinner. A warm summer night, we sat on the patio. The ambiance was cute and decorative. We ordered the zucchini chips for appetizers, which were good. The Macedonian white wine was also organic tasting and refreshing. We both got gyro sandwiches, which were big and delicious. We ended the night with some frappè. We had a great time. It is street parking only, which can be tough at times when it's busy.. other than that, worth the trip. read more

TLDR: Pros: Great service and execution. Cons: Limited menu, pricey special. From the point of view of service this is a definite upgrade on Niko's, which formerly occupied this space. We received a friendly greeting from the host and had no problem getting a two-top for an early-ish Saturday dinner-- they advised they do not take reservations for two. We ordered wine - they do not seem to have cocktails yet -- while we perused the menu. The dishes offered are pretty standard - where they will distinguish themselves is execution. Apps are generously portioned, there were three good sized triangles of spanokopita in the order, and the spicy feta meze was plentiful. If you are a party of three two apps should suffice. I took half the feta home where it livened up a number of meals. Mains were not as generous. La Portena's tuna ($27) was a decent portion, perfectly medium with a hint of pink, with nicely prepared broccoli and spinach on the side. My swordfish (a special) was disappointingly small at $39, but it was nicely prepared, cooked through but still moist. The fries that accompanied it were excellent, and there was also that excellent spinach. We had room for desert, and enjoyed the Portalokopia (orange cake), which I heartily recommend. What they could use is a little bit more variety than the typical Westchester Greek menu. Still, we'll be back, as this is closer to home with more ambiance than Lefteris. read more

Food was outstanding and the service was superb! Warm and cozy atmosphere. Will make it a stop when traveling to the area.

There are not many Greek choices in the Westchester area. So when I saw the good reviews for Anasa I figured we would give it a try. It's a cute little place that definitely screams Greek restaurant. The food - the Greek Salad was very good, nice and fresh and good flavor. The grilled octopus appetizer had very good flavor but the octopus was a little chewy. The spinach and cheese phyllo dough app was good. Seemed similar to spanakopita but was called just spinach pie. For mains we had Tuna, again good flavor, ordered rare came medium. Grilled shrimp was probably the best dish we had. Lamb souvlaki platter, meat was tender. The sides of lemon potatoes were good but needed more lemon flavor and seasoning. I didn't have the rice but others said it was good. Our waitress was great, very attentive and on point regarding food allergies. (I can't have gluten) So we felt confident that we were in good hands in that regard. If you can sit outside as they have nice tables in front of the restaurant that are nicely spaced. The inside tables are nicely spaced as well but everything in the restaurant is a hard surface and so even with a half full restaurant it was pretty loud. I would go back and try it again. read more
