Effie's - Philadelphia

Charming little spot, I think the main dining area, outside, and the back room would each be a unique way to experience Effie's and depending on your party. Rough cut produce and inconsistently warmed pita gives a family feeling. Generous portions for an inexpensive price. I would regularly get the lamb sandwich if I were local.Food: 4/5

My friend and I had dinner there and it was my first time in Effie’s Restaurant. We ordered appetizers dolmades and saganaki cheese. Dolmades was dry but not bad at all. Saganaki cheese was really good. My main course Mousaka was good but the portion wasn’t big for me. My friend got Keftedes with Orzo and he loved it.They have indoor also outdoor seating and the atmosphere was great. Our waitress Angie was very friendly and kind. It’s BYOB restaurant and their spot is just great.Parking: It’s a little hard to find parking spot.

Cute little BYOB downtown. I love Greek food and there’s is very good. I wouldn’t say best ever but it is solid. I love the outdoor dining, it’s a quiet little alleyway. I think they could use more vegetarian entrees. We love the saganaki, pastichicio pasta dish. I also had Greek salad and chicken slouvaki platter and both were very fresh and well cooked. The pita they give is excellent and fresh out of the oven.Vegetarian options: So so. Only 2 vegetarian entree options. But quite a few salad/app options for vegetarian.

Yum! Had the moussaka and the chicken souvlaki. Both were very good and decently big portions. Got takeout, but have been in before and had great service.Food: 5/5

Went here for a moms night out with 10 other women and we were so well taken care of! We love Effie’s. Excellent value, fabulous service, the food is delicious.
