Chicken shawarma. Sooo good
Jeff F.

Found this little gem when my son and I were headed to Green top sporting goods. He suggested a shawarma and I happily obliged because who doesn't like a good shawarma?? This place was great! Greeted immediately, took our order and everything was fantastic! They have their own bakery in Fredericksburg and the bread is fresh and everything you wanted instead of just an average pita like most shops. The shawarma was hot and fresh with all the veggies and pickles! My son ate the entire thing in 5 min flat and said it was the best he's ever had. We also got the fries with Zatter, which is a green, savory herb mixture. Different but also great with tahini. These guys make great food and are so friendly and nice, I highly suggest stopping by. Don't forget the homemade Turkish Baklava!

Delicious garlicky shawarma and crunchy well seasoned falafel. Warm fluffy boat shaped pita. Zatar fries were ok. Seemed like frozen steak fries. Lovely tahini sauce. Friendly service. Excited to visit again.

Quick. Hot food. Delicious and flavorful. The gentleman at the counter was kind and welcoming. He went over the menu with us and made sure we got our food how we wanted it. We also got french fries which didn't make it home to take a photo of. They were fresh hot and crispy. The garlic sauce complements the chicken well and the pita is fresh and doughy but light and tear-able. A great meal after a long day. We will be back:)

Nicest people, freshest food, a big fresh pot of fragrant tea on the counter to finish it all off. All the stars!

This was by far the BEST Greek food we've eaten in the States!!…read more We lived on the island of Crete for 18 months, and the number of places in the US that manage to mess up something as simple as tzatziki is unimaginable! BUT NOT HERE! Every single item we tasted was absolutely delicious and fresh! I missed getting pictures of our two appetizers and desserts, so you'll just have to take my word for it. ORDER the tzatziki and dolmades, and thank me later! You can thank me again after dessert, too! Because THEY HAVE TRADITIONAL GREEK CHRISTMAS COOKIES!!! IYKYK! I almost got emotional with my first bite. Oh, the beautiful memories that came rushing back with every bite! Simply AMAZING! For a restaurant of its size, it still felt like walking into a family-owned establishment where you're welcomed to the table as one of their own. We felt like we were visiting old friends again, which made the atmosphere even sweeter and authentic! And lastly, on your way out, don't forget to pick up some REAL GREEK OLIVE OIL! Trust me, your meals at home will never be the same! If you're craving authentic Greek food, DO YOURSELF A FAVOR and eat here! You won't regret it! We are planning on visiting again before our 4 day weekend ends!!

So not a great experience today at Kephi. Took quite awhile to get acquainted with a server( water…read moreand other drink order). The place was not busy at all. When server came, we advised we knew our appetizer and our meal. Again, server went off and was gone forever before we got our drinks. Disappeared again for quite awhile , then when they came out and brought our entrees....never got the appetizer. Ugh. My gyro was good. To make matters worse wife had 2 hairs in her salad...not her color hair. Not the servers fault, but there was no remorse or apology from any staff member. They did make the bill right, for not receiving the appetizer and for the hair in food was taken off the bill. Very Doubtful if we return...this was not our first service issue at Kephi in most recent attempts.

Great food and great service Very friendly family style…read morerestaurant Small but always enough space

I have been craving Greek food for awhile and decided to try Stella's. I've been told this is one…read moreof the best restaurants in Richmond and so I had high expectations. To be honest my overall experience was sort of just meh and forgettable so I'm not sure I'd be back. To be clear though I did not dine in I placed an order for takeout. The first 3 times I called the phone didn't go through and then the fourth time someone was pretty rude on the other end of the phone. They close at 10 and I ordered takeout around 8 and she very pointedly told me they don't usually take takeout orders past 5pm but since they were slow she would make an exception. Since it doesn't say this on the anywhere on their website I felt like the overall attitude and tone she was giving me was rude and pretentious. She acted like I should've known their takeout policy and the fact she was making an exception for me I should be so grateful. Lol. It's just food. Anyway. I showed up to pickup and the interior seemed really nice. The plates I saw go by looked well appointed. The gentleman who handed me my food was pretty polite. There were a few servers that walked by that sort of seemed to give me a stink eye or glare at me for standing next to the host stand which is tiny and right next to their entrance. Overall I just felt like I was sort of imposing by picking up my order. The general vibe I got in person confirmed how I felt on the phone - the staff take themselves way too seriously and they are pretentious about pretty average food. I ordered the pastitsio and the moussaka. I ate all of the pastitsio and it was okay. I felt like the layering was really well done as was the meat sauce. However the bechamel on top was a bit too sweet for my taste and the nutmeg was slightly overpowering in this dish which made it feel a bit too sweet for my palette. Pastitsio is one of my favorites so this was sort of a bummer. The moussaka frankly was not good. I didn't find any potato in it (maybe Stella's version doesn't have it) but the eggplant was borderline raw tasting. I'm not sure what eggplant variety they use but it was more similar to a green bell pepper than a roasted eggplant. It was EXTREMELY tough and chewy and overall just a total pain to eat. I tried to cut into the layers and would pull out an entire giant slice of green eggplant because I couldn't cut through it. Yuck. It also suffered from the same slightly too sweet thing going on with the bechamel that the other dish did. I did not like this one at all which is sad bc I love moussaka. 2/5 Overall I'm not sure I'd be back. The service was pretentious and a bit uncomfortable I didn't feel very welcomed buying food from here and the food itself was below my expectations. The ambiance and value are both fine (both entrees together were $50 which to me is not bad at all) but I may look elsewhere for Greek in RVA before returning here.
