Kellari Taverna is located in the heart of New York City, three blocks from Grand Central Station, Times Square and the Theater District. The dining room décor evokes a subterranean wine cellar designed with contemporary elegance. Kellari features the traditional Greek taverna specialties, such as our signature grilled whole fish, prime lamb chops and chicken meats, and an eclectic selection of contemporary Hellenic savory appetizers ("mezedes") created by our Executive Chef. The Kellari dessert menu includes innovative specialties such as warm sokolata with goat milk vanilla ice cream as as well as traditional favorites such as Baklava and bougatsa. Kellari Taverna offers an extensive international wine list featuring a large selection of Greek wines.

A great pre-show dinner for the 6 of us. The seafood was incredibly fresh. One of our party had the mushroom risotto and another had the lamb chops which were both delicious. The tuna tartare appetizer was excellent.

Tremendously pleased with my dining experience. The hospitality was exceptional, and the food was both excellent and authentic (I am Greek, I can recognize this). I will absolutely be dining here again.

Pre-theater dinner is a very good value but my meal was not hot. Food was much better on prior visit.

Very nice wait staff and hosts. Nice space. Good menu with options for all eaters. Standout was the soup of the day, a vegan roasted tomato, quite nice. The other food was quite decent but not standout Greek and expensive. Sizeable portions. Tasty and convenient to theater district. We enjoyed it.

Our server was fabulous!!!! She was attentive, charming and so efficient… a real gem. My grilled octopus was yummy, albeit a bit undercooked for my taste. Without fuss nor muss, our sever took it back to the kitchen for more fire. After a short time, it was returned to me, perfectly grilled. Our portions were generous, and the presentation was lovely. The ambiance is charming…. lots of pretty plants/trees. We arrived at the tail end of the lunch (business) hour, so we couldn’t conduct a conversation initially, due to the noise level. As the diners began to return to work, there was a huge improvement in the noise level. This is a wonderful restaurant, with great food, great service, and lovely ambiance.
