Extending the warm hand of Greek hospitality, Effie's is an ideal gathering place for excellent food, drink and conversation. As one of the most praised authentic Greek restaurants in Center City, Effie’s simple dining rooms and mouthwatering fare capture the atmosphere of Taverna along the Aegean Sea. Best Bets: Classic appetizers - such as lightly floured and seared Kasseri cheese and sauteed shrimp in a lemon, butter oregano sauce - serve as the great beginning to your flavorful meal. Next, feast on Effie’s grilled chicken with sauteed mushrooms, scallions and a butter white wine sauce. If that doesn't suit your fancy, partake in the baked tilapia served with Kalamata olives, tomato, onion and rice. Complement your delicious meal with a side of tzatziki yogurt sauce or a basil risotto with feta cheese.
