    Pretty good non expensive place to eat with good food. I went for the Tzatiki and it was pretty delicious in some ways. First time here, and I was impressed with the looks and vibe of Kava Neo Taverna. Food was crispy on the outside. Think I may be had eaten Tzatiki somewhere else before. I was not 100% sure lol. Anyhow, we had fun here, great food, and good people working here. I was a happy camper.

    The food here is hands down some of the best in Boston. I cannot recommend coming here for the quality of food and how they make such great dishes with simple ingredients cooked right. The grilled octopus was my absolutely favorite and the viral zucchini chips are good but not great. The service is was great as our waiter provided himself on being Greek and having great insights in what to order. The reason this is not 5 star review is the inside was cramped, crowded, and overall uncomfortable. Please come here and try a little bit everything. It was all very good. Small sized dishes so you do end up spending a lot of money but for a fun night out for a date this would be perfect.

    So excited to secure a reservation for KAVA on Saturday evening. First-time diners who had heard amazing reviews. Let's start by acknowledging the food is amazing. So authentic, you feel like you're in Greece. The three of us shared four menu items. Our fav without question was the renown zucchini chips (Kolokithakia), followed by the baked feta (Bouyoirdi), braised beef short rib (Uvetsi) and in forth place, the grilled octopus (Oktapodi). The portions were perfect for three and the pacing of our order was excellent. If I could do the evening over again, I wouldn't have sat inside. The tables are too small and too close together. The seats were very uncomfortable. And what was most surprising, it took over 10 minutes to get someone to clear our plates and provide our check.

    Just a great spot overall. Great food, great service, great cute south end vibes. We also overstayed our welcome wayyy beyond our allocated time and we apologized, but they didn't mind at all and were very accommodating. The halloumi salad was amazing, highly recommend. Octopus was great and I feel like the zucchini chips are just a must as everyone orders them and they're really good. Messed up on which feta we wanted to order, so will definitely need to come back.
