  • Good for business meals
Sister restaurant of Kokkari, Evvia has been serving authentic rustic Greek cuisine since 1995. Our fresh fish, savory roasted meats and grilled and roasted vegetables are perked up with a squeeze of lemon, a splash olive oil, and Mediterranean herbs. There is perfection in simplicity.

    For a special night out, this is the place. Everything was delicious, service was perfect. It is expensive but good food is worth it!! We had Dolmas (filling was unique and fantastic) and Octopus (cooked to perfection) to start. Had lamb shank and the goat special. If they have the goat, do not hesitate...get it!! The Baclava is perfect, not too sweet! Go! Eat! Enjoy!

    Food came out pretty slow. The chicken souvlaki was very dry and the fries on the lamb burger were hard.
