Profile

The owners of Snack, Soho's five-table Greek cafe, have expanded to the West Village with this superb, comparatively spacious restaurant. There's room here for a bar, a greater selection of Greek wines, and 52 customers at once. The menu reads Greek but looks and tastes altogether new: the saffron-scented crushed-almond sauce bolstering stuffed grape leaves; the intense flavors of oven-roasted tomatoes and fresh mint enlivening braised lamb shoulder—all of which are perfectly complemented by the affordable Greek wine list. There’s even a superior souvlaki at brunch, if you’re homesick for Athens—or Astoria.

Brunch

Try the puffy bourekis (minced lamb in phyllo pastry), the grilled loukaniko (country sausage), or the fine avga me hirino, which, in case you didn't know, consists of two poached eggs served with braised pork and a mess of cranberry beans.

My experience at Snack Taverna was wonderful - and unexpected from a little-known gem we stumbbled upon! The servers seemed like they were actually happy to be working there, they never had a frown on their faces! The Skordalia appetizer was amazing, and so was my entree, the Chicken Boureki dish. My boyfriend loved his lamb shank special, and we also had a surprisingly tasty bottle of Sauvignon Blanc. We will definitely go back again!

disgusting experience

I recently had probably the worst meal in 50 years of eating out in New York City at Snack Taverna. And it cost 260 dollars for 6 people. The food was disgusting and believe me, I have had a lot of Greek food in my day. The portions were miniscule-to put a good face on it. The decor is slightly more enchanting than that in your junior high school cafeteria-but not much more. The 17 dollar salad consisted of chunks of mushy, overripe tomatoes with a square hunk of poor quality feta cheese dumped on top of it.
