Visit this cozy, intimate White Plains restaurant and you’ll feel as if you’re in the dining room of the owners, the Kringas family. While Voula Kringas does the cooking, hosting, and some waitressing, her sister, Amalia Boumis, prepares the desserts. Voula’s son, Nick, one of the restaurant’s owners, says, “My mom does all of the cooking here. Before, we had so much excess food that we figured we should open a restaurant.” It’s a good thing they did; since you won't find more delicious or authentic Greek food. 

Virtually half of the menu is made up of orektika (appetizers), which can be assembled into a meal and shared. Nick especially recommends the various dips (includingkafteri, with spicy feta; taramasalata, with Greek caviar; tsatsiki, with yogurt, cucumber, and garlic; hummus; and skordalia, with potatoes and garlic); saganaki (flamed Greek cheese); gigantes (giant beans in tomato sauce), octopodi (grilled octopus with an olive oil and red wine vinegar dressing), and spanakopita (spinach pie).
