First time to Charlotte and we found this place in a cute area close to the Arena. Great pizza!!! Also, the service was 5-Stars and the team couldn't be nicer! "I'll be back!" read more

Nefelie's - the entrance to a restaurant - Lounges Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

After hearing good things about Nefelie's and reviewing their menu I decided I had to give them a try on a Wednesday to try the Stuffed Chicken special. Walking inside the restaurant you will be initially confused. The restaurant is upstairs and there is a bar downstairs. You have to walk up the stairs and then an employee greets you. I ordered take out so I just hung around the front. There is a service charge for using your card. I wasn't that impressed with the food or the service. The side items were better than the entree. I got two orders of the stuffed chicken and a couple different side items. The fried okra, the creamed spinach and hummus were all good. The service was subpar and the person taking my order was actually kinda rude. I'm glad I gave them a try and can definitely check off another eatery downtown. I however will not be returning.

Bartender who I think owns the place was absolutely amazing. Very hospitable and accommodating to our large party. The Greek fries and beef gyro were to die for, I'm still thinking about it the next morning and will be going back before I leave. They even have a dart board. Great vibes. read more

NomNomNom. We love Nefelie's! Great Greek food in a casual setting. Staff is great. Prices are very reasonable! Lots of TV's to watch our fav sports. They also have outside seating, which is nice when the pup tags along w us. read more

I'm a big fan of Nefelie's. I can always count on a good gyro or chicken wings when needed. They have a variety of foods available and they have a great gyro in my opinion. They are located in the Latta Arcade alley. Parking is available on the street or in garages. Uber, scooter or walking to this place is recommended. It's a great location on game days, where you can grab something to eat along with a beer/drink! Staff is friendly and helpful also. read more

This is a bar not a restaurant. There was only two small tables and a bartender who was not helpful

We had lunch brought in from Nefelies. It's located in the Latta arcade which is an awesome restaurant and shop section uptown. I ordered the nefelies salad with Greek dressing on the side. The dressing was delicious! It was a good portion and had a lot of chicken on top. The toppings blended well together and I would get the salad again. It also came with three pita pieces which is an added bonus! Other coworkers got pita sandwiches and meat and two sides. The order was accurate and all of the portions were generous. I will order from here again. read more

Horrible service staff. Ordered a beer here and was handed a warm bottle. Asked for a different one that was cold and the server called me "an "ungrateful white bitch" for the request. Both myself and my husband both tried speaking to another bartender who seemed to be in charge about it and they refused to even allow a conversation. I emailed management later to let them know and nobody got back to me. This was back in 2019 and I haven't been back since. Shocked they are still in business. They don't care about their customers or providing good drinks / food, and are likely only in business due to location/proximity to other better establishments that fill up late at night. read more

Great tasting food and great service. Always get the chicken euro and Greek fries and it's always good each time

This is one of my favorite places to go to for lunch uptown. Although I've been many times, the Lemon Pepper Chicken is what brings me in. It's so good. I always place my togo order upstairs at the window. It's quick and painless. There is a bar to sit at while you wait. If you go during normal lunch hours, expect there to be a lunch rush and the order could take a little longer, but it never takes a long time. I'm normally in and out within 15 minutes. I normally get the same sides when I go too. I order the roasted potatoes and the fried okra. With the lemon pepper chicken, I always get the sauce on the side and use it more as a dip. I find that the sauce can be a little over powering if it's poured onto the chicken. This way I can flavor it as needed. They have specials Monday - Friday, so there is always something on special to try out. Monday is Lemon Pepper Chicken day :) I would recommend this place to anyone wanting to try out a new place uptown without breaking the bank to do so. There are so many restaurants uptown now, it's a little hard to make it to them all, but if you are on the Wells Fargo side, it's worth the trip for sure. If you are in a hurry, go after 1 PM. read more

Nefelie's - Classic gyro with fries - Lounges Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Went during lunch with four people. It was during Christmas week so it wasn't crowded. There's a downstairs bar and a few hightop tables but the main dining room is up a flight of stairs . The music was really good and added to our dining experience. My favorite thing about Nefelie's is that the portion sizes are great and the food prices are priced right. Our group had: -Chicken Ceasar salad ( big chunks of grilled seasoned chicken) -Lamb Gyro ( it was huge; I'm getting it next time -Wings and Greek fries The Greek fries had too much feta for me so maybe ask for less if you don't like that. You will pay for your food at the front counter so make sure you bring your check with you. Great lunch spot though I imagine during a regular lunch week pickup orders might be ideal or getting there early for a table. read more

Ordered delivery and the food came out to be so, cold. Portion was indeed a lot with the price but ... I didn't find any of the cold food enjoyable. The foam box was too purely made one box that my colleague ordered even broke while she was just taking it out from the bag. read more

Arrived late to our hotel and struggled to find a place to eat as most kitchens were closed.Found this place next to our hotel and we were thrilled once we found Nefelies! We had a pizza and some fries with two beers and everything was so delicious! We were amazed! Staff at the bar was friendly and we were able to sit on the patio area with our dogs. read more

Good gyros. Flavorful and juicy! Decent pizza . Very nice wait staff. I came with my kids and I feel like the staff was so helpful in making sure we were taken care of. The lemon chicken and pork chops were delicious and great fries. Really fun environment.. it's a pub, so understand that and you will be fine. Will return and try other Greek item read more

Wow! I've been walking past this place for months and I'm so happy I finally went. It was delicious! We got gyros and Greek fries. As soon as we left my boyfriend all did I want to go back this weekend haha. It's pretty small on the first floor there only seating is two tables and the bar. They have a nice area on the second floor that looks like a party area. The music was great. There is a full bar and tvs so it's a great spot to hit up before or after you go out. read more

Love coming to this place, the Greek food is good. Chicken wings, okra, shrimp, fries, haven't had anything bad yet and I've been frequent here for about 4-5 years! The location is perfect and near Romare Bearden park. The bartender there is the best as well. If you are looking for a quick good priced drink before dinner or if you are just coming by to eat, I recommend Nefelies! read more

Nefelie's - Lounges Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

4.8/5 stars Came here during lunch when I was visiting Charlotte for a couple days. The food was really good: 10/10. The service was good too other than a small mix up. The restaurant is nice and small, perfect for individuals or small groups. When we were ordering, I stressed or waiter that I was allergic to dairy and told them to please hold off on any butter or cheese in my meal. He agreed and took our orders. The food didn't take too long to be ready, which was great. Once we got our food, my chicken had some type of cheese sauce on layered over it. I told the waiter and he gave me a new plate of food, while letting me keep the old one. I let my brother have the one with cheese. Our waiter was super nice and handled the situation very well. I ordered the lemon chicken with fries and okra. Best lemon chicken I've had in a while. It wasn't to sour or salty. It was also very juicy and not dry. Too that off with the veggies and crispy French fries: it was a delicious meal. The portions were great as well. Will definitely be back next time I'm in Charlotte. read more

I got this on DoorDash on a whim and was pleasantly surprised. I got the lemon pepper chicken with fries and green beans. The chicken was awesome! I loved the sauce and I would put it on everything. I saw some people left reviews saying to ask for it on the side--if you love lemon, it's amazing!! The green beans were really tangy. They were good but maybe not the right thing to pair with the tangy lemon sauce. The fries were a little under fried based on the other pictures I've seen on Yelp but they were still delicious. I can't believe this was only $10 (without delivery fees on DoorDash)! Incredibly filling and hit the spot. I'll be back! read more

Good peeps..good times! I stopped by during my walk around the beautiful city of Charlotte and was so excited to meet some super friendly people that could tell me about where I was. What makes this place great? Well, if I had to categorize it like an 80s-90s show... It is definitely the Cheers of the city. Everybody either 1)knows your name when you arrive or 2) knows your name when you leave. I was humbled and happy to be invited in to a circle of nice people (even when I said I would be their duchess on Yelp :) I hope the Halloween party is a success and I would so be there if I was in town! Thanks for making me feel so welcome! read more

Um, I dunno. I have mixed emotions. Food is mediocre. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's eh. But It's charming. Lunch specials are always abound and affordable. Like I said, charming. The staff is incredibly nice and this place feels very homey and eclectic. I wouldn't necessarily call it a destination, but definitely worth a visit. read more

Solid lunch spot uptown... though it makes for a challenging afternoon since you walk away from here so well fed, you may fall asleep in front of your computer at work. I first came here with my late friend Paul and he totally showed me the ropes. Yes, you do have to climb some stairs to get here, but it is well worth it. The downstairs part is the bar, but I always like going upstairs. Almost feels like you are in a Harry Potter novel when ascending the stairs since Nefelie's is located in one of the really charming spots in Brevard Court. In a city where a lot of things are "new" the court really shines as a gem and I hope they keep it that way (there's crazy development in the city right now since they finished Romeare Bearden park right across the street. Anyways...the servers are nice and efficient and you get your food right away here. The menu is a smattering of sandwiches and plates. There's sometimes a special. Paul's favorite here were the fries... they have a top secret way of making them crisp- not soggy and light. I'm partial to their onion rings. Usually I just go with the gyro sandwich, but occasionally I get the lamb platter that comes with two sides... EVERYTHING is pretty darn awesome and I haven't had a bad thing on the menu yet. It's pretty tight upstairs, but it adds to the character of the experience. I love how you can peer across the court into the businesses across the way. The great thing about the location is that you can go eat... and the service is usually so fast you can still settle the check and go out for a stroll in the park (all within your lunch hour). read more

Boy this has gotta be truly one of my favorite places to eat even tho I've only been here once. The ambiance, The decor, the architecture all excellent. The food was perfect omg it was soo orgasmic. I was like omg please hold me back from pounding the table with joy ooooooh!! The flounder was cooked with perfectly so sweet so tasty such greatness these cooks must hail from the heavens of cookery. The drink making skills are off the hook too, best long islands ever, oh joy yeeeeeah. Food and drinks were of the most excellent quality. Everyone seems so happy here too , its pretty cool. I really felt comfortable here. Its a real laid back chill , vibe. Great prices too, freakin excellent. I had a fireball for hella cheap . This place is located in the french quarter area where it perfectly fits in . They have upstairs and downstairs seating. I wanna come back here. This is the type of place you'd wanna travel a distance too just try the food. read more

The lemon pepper chicken, as the name suggests, is very lemon-y and has a nice sour flavor. Try the spicy version if you are feeling a little more adventurous. This has black pepper and cayenne pepper. The okra fries were really delicious. read more

Nefelie's - This is what I received tonight after spending a good amount of money on drinks. So disappointed. Everything is burnt. - Lounges Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

This place is absolutely fantastic. Best food I've had in Charlotte. The original was super juicy, fries were hot and service was great.

Imma going with four stars for now. Yes I've read ya'lls reviews while I was deciding. I was in the mood for a burger.. ok? Never been in the place - secluded upstairs like an upstairs hole in the wall. My kinda joint. I did a search on Yelp and came up with them for a burger.. Guess what folks.. Best burger going.. Why? They'll cook it medium rare!!! They're steak burgers. No pre-ground meat rules to follow on that one. And the beef, so they claim, is grass fed. It tasted fantastic. The scene was pretty quiet. I was there well after lunch rush. It has a cozy vibe to it. What's not to love. I can tell the chef is from the heart of the culinary underbelly too. Awesome. Someone who has respect for their meat not to turn it into a hockey puck you just have to love. Granted I was here at an off hour, but the service was really quick. If you get here when it's busy and they're slow, I'm sorry I wasn't there during normal lunch hours to give a review. Downsides. The fries were so promising. Double blanched would be my guess. I'm thinking I might have had my fries cooked in the same oil as fish from lunch earlier. At least I had the aroma of fried fish in my fries. That's not a good sign. If you're mixing oils, I'd hate to see your walk-in. Speaking of signs, I can't provide you with a health score either. I saw the sign with the score laying on the bar. It magically grew legs before I had a chance to read it. I saw it initially and thought it said something like 94.5. That struck me as odd. I'd check that if you plan on eating here next just to make sure I saw the sign correctly before it vanished. I'd give them a try again. Sorry ya'll had some bad luck here and a feel ya. I'll give it a couple more go's and if it changes, I'll change my review. read more

This restaurant was very clean, the bartender and owner were beyond amazing and personally involved. We dined upstairs the ambiance and experience was simply amazing! The owner played jazz just for us and continued to check in to make sure that we were ok. You could not ask for a better place to eat. The calamari was fresh and the grilled lemon pepper chicken was delicious. I would definitely return, they made us feel like family. We have decided to make this our weekly date night spot! https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g46124-d4183013-r312010953-99_Restaurants-Hooksett_New_Hampshire.html# read more

OK so I've decided that Nefelie's is my FAVORITE place for lunch in Uptown! Being a busy Professional, I just don't have a ton of time for lunch, but Nefelies can serve up a very tasty lunch in a reasonably quick time. I am puzzled about some of the negative reviews about the service and attitude and all that. I've been here MANY times and have never had a "bad attitude" nor bad service. Sure, sometimes they get slammed for lunch so it may take a little longer as the kitchen is small. So it is MY opinion that Nefelies has a GREAT staff, and I am quite discerning when I say that as for me, Service can make or break a place. And as you may have read in one of my older reviews, they did do some experimenting on the Gyros that I didn't care for. Thankfully they are back to being their old great restaurant and you can't help but like Denise and her "Mom and Pops" business. Speaking of which, Denise told me they are opening up a NEW place on South Blvd and Scaleybark.....this time it will be more of a Deli and Coffee shop and Bakery....and she said that they will be serving alcohol (read Greek Wine - YEAY) and of course one of my all time faves...BAKLAVA! Can't wait to try this new place. So yes, I am a Champion for this wonderful little hidden gem in the Latta Arcade, and NO, Denise did NOT pay nor bribe me to say this! LOL..... My tip: Come BEFORE NOON before they get slammed. 1130 is a great time to start your lunch if you can swing it. And whatever you order, get their FRIES or Roasted Potatoes...they are the BEST IN CHARLOTTE! read more

So I finally got to eat at this place! My husband has always talked good things about it so I couldn't wait to try it! It's a casual cozy bar restaurant atmosphere. The menu is not extensive but with good options to choose from. I had the London Broil with roasted potatoes, pita, Marsala sauce and rice and my husband had Lemon Pepper Chicken with roasted potatoes and fried okra. The food came out so fast that I was impressed, specially considering that was busy lunch time. I ordered my steak as medium and I cannot put in words how happy I was when my steak was cooked to perfection!!! Their steak was cooked better than in many fancy steakhouses around the city! The pita was sooooo delicious and those roasted potatoes amazing as well. I poured the Marsala sauce on my rice and it gave a special touch to my meal even though I was supposed to pour it on to my steak. The lemon pepper chicken is like a explosion of flavors in to your month. However I would give you a tip, if you order it ask them to put the sauce aside so you can pour it as you wish, the sauce can be overwhelming for some people but nothing that would mess up your meal. The service was pretty good, the food exceeded all my expectations that were high and the price is fair enough! read more

Stumbled upon this place during our night walk and fell in love with it. The drinks were very good and the food (Gyros and fries) were amazing. The owner and his cousin were so friendly and personable! We will likely go back tonight just because the vibe was on point for us. read more

Food here is awful and the service even worse. I witnessed three people coming in and the bar tender asked if they were going to eat or drink and they said they were not ready. The woman asked them to leave. Very disappointed with the food and the way they treated potential customers. read more

I'll continue to stand by my one-star rating... the owner of the restaurant has sent me threatening and derogatory emails, messages with fake Yelp accounts, and now a recent comment here. One comment said something along the lines of "You don't know what I'm capable of", which is exactly why I will continue to warn others from "dining" at this establishment. I think the lesson to be learned in all of this is that while sanitation issues can happen from time to time, the key is recognizing the problem, apologizing and making it right. Instead, what Nefelie's has done is harass me and told me I am wrong. This is definitely not the right way to do things as a human being or business owner! read more

Hands DOWN this is my new favorite lunch place in Uptown Charlotte. I've already been here 4 times in the past week and a half! The restaurant / bar is located just outside the Latta Arcade on the Church St. side and doesn't have a very prominent sign so you have to walk in a bit. The restaurant itself, like many of its neighbors, is split in two. The bottom floor is a small bar/lounge and can be quite packed in the evenings, bustling with activity. I can't say I know what they offer in the late evenings as far as booze and entertainment is concerned, but I will attest to the AWESOMENESS that is their lunch/dinner menu. The top floor dining area has a similar chill and somewhat homey contemporary feel as the bottom floor - complete with an artificial fire in the corner! The menu though is far more Mediterranean with Greek salads, pita-based dishes and a variety of enticing and uniquely prepared meat dishes including Gyros. I am currently obsessed with the Lemon Pepper Chicken. I honestly don't know what goes into the SAWCE, but dam is it good. At lunch, you get a nice portion of grilled sliced chicken on a bed of rice with your choice of two sides. For those of you who like to have a lot of choice, I can almost guarantee you that this menu will have at least one thing that you're going to like. I always pick the okra and extra crispy french fries, though you can go healthier with veggies and salad. If you're not into that, then flip the menu over and there are a dozen sandwiches and customizable burgers. They're enormous and taste as good as the entrees. Chorizo and Chicken, sandwiched between ciabatta with lettuce and tomato - you'll need to deal with the food coma after ;) Appetizers - DELICIOUS! Ranges from spicy wings to gooey artichoke dip to just plain chicken tenders - don't forget the Texas Pete hot sauce they've left for you! I always wanna try something new every time I come here. I won't get bored for awhile. Moreover, they're consistent in their preparation. These cooks know what's up. I haven't been disappointed once with my order. The lemon pepper chicken and its fellow compatriot entrees can range from $8 - $10, which is a freakin steal in my books. Food comes out quickly and the service is very friendly. They're always trying to accommodate varying party sizes too. Lunch can get busy as I found out today, but these guys are so efficient, they get everyone fed and paid within the lunch hour. Must be practice!! All in all, Nefelie's is the bomb and I'll be coming here as much as I can steal time away from my work day. I'm glad to have found this place, because it stands out from many of the generic restaurants on Tryon and the Epicenter. Be back soon! 5/5 read more

Nefelie's - Lemon Pepper Chicken w/ Okra and Fries - Lounges Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Came here with co-workers for lunch and I had the beef tips with a side of rice and onion rings. Food was uninspiring, service was average, and the place was eclectic. That said, the prices were pretty good considering the portion. It definitely has that "home" feel, but not my home, maybe your home. The place doesn't really stand out and I would find it hard to come back to this place because nothing is really spectacular or idiosyncratic about it. The best part is that its like a 5 block walk from where I work so I get to get in a nice brisk walk over here because the food comes out a little on the slow side. dmo out. read more

You guys. $8 ribeye special on Thursdays?!?! R U kidding me??? This place was the jam. I headed over to the Arcade and I almost walked into Metropolitan, but the marquee for Nefelie's caught my eye. I took a gander at the menu, and I was sucked in. They have daily specials, which (if they're anything like the ribeye special) seem to be a great value. Ordered a take-out meal since we were having a break room lunch, and the whole time I was wishing that I had convinced the lunch-bringers to come with me. I had some time waiting for my food to really look around and see the room and I was really digging the ambiance. Relaxed, and low key, with some TVs scattered around. Cute bar area and large windows overlooking the Arcade. When you walk in, there's just a bar downstairs, so you have to go up the stairs to the actual restaurant, which I'm finding is standard for some of the arcade places. I will definitely be back, and paleo/primal friends will appreciate the Thursday special fo-sho. read more

Gus and the other folks at Nefeli's are WONDERFUL. So friendly, so family oriented, and they know how to party! The food was fantastic--burgers are absolutely delicous, fries (yum), sweet tea, the whole package. Huge portions. We stayed for a couple of hours on a Thursday night, had drinks and just a good time. The owners came out and spent some time with us, we will definitely go back!!! read more

Food was outstanding! And a nice little escape from the busy life of downtown. Food came quick and was a large portion for the price.
