and so delicious. The halloumi cheese plate was absolutely fantastic, the artichoke spread deeply flavorful, the pita perfect. Fried calamari with onion rings was the hit we wish we’d ordered more but the Cobb salad convinced us otherwise. Just perfect!
Enjoy!

Greek-inspired menu of entree salads, wraps, gyros, pastas, burgers. Appetizer servings are large enough to share; my group of 7 shared fried brussel sprouts, feta polenta and lamb meatballs. Our individual entrees included two salads, a wrap and various pastas. Everything was delicious. Generous portions. For dessert, we split an order of Galaktoboureko so everyone had a bite - wonderful! Pleasant ambience. There is piped-in background music, but it's not loud so you can easily converse while dining. Outdoor (with gas heaters) and indoor seating. Fast service.

This is a nice little gem of a breakfast place. We came here with a rather large group 2 weeks ago while in town for a conference and they were very accommodating of us on a Saturday morning. The service was very good and attentive throughout our meal. My wife ordered French toast with a side a bacon and I got the Eureka omelet (mushrooms, cheddar, and avocado) and we both really enjoyed our food (the omelet could easily have been shared as it was very filling). The breakfast potatoes were also pretty tasty and the coffee really hit the spot. We didn't get too try any lunch items, but we would definitely come back and try them as breakfast was solid. It's a good place overall and I would definitely recommend it.

Our first visit here and we sat outside with Patio heaters. Ordered a carafe of the Pinot it was not great. We shared 2 salads (Kale and hiriotaki) both were good we added a grilled chicken to th Kale which was tasty and Spanakopita ( enough for 4 of us) and fried Brussel sprouts ( a bit too much oil). We also shared the Lamb Burger with sweet potato fries and another beef burger with regular fries ( all burgers were very good) and a Moussaka ( the meat was tasty but the mashed potatoes on top were mushy and not very crisp

Friendly service and relaxed neighborhood vibe but I honestly can’t rave about the food. My grilled cheese was a hard, cold lump with pita bread and the spanakopita was over cooked. It might just depend on what you order.Loved the local craft beer on tap. I would be willing to give this place another try.

Very good experience at this restaurant and if you are visiting Noe Valley I recommend it. My wife had Halloumi Cheese appetizer and it was tasty. I had the fried calamari and it was not so great - tough and batter was not light. The entrees were superb. We both had lamb bolognese. The pasta was al dente and the sauce was scrumptious. Service and atmosphere was very good. This restaurant is very popular with the locals.

We had a lovely lunch at Novy. The food was delicious, the owner and server was charming and the decor was attractive. It was crowded for lunch and was high energy. It is located on 24th Street at the Noe Street intersection

I had the salmon. Very good and it was cooked perfectly at my request to have it a little more well done. As usual parking is limited so it is best to go at an off hour.

We went here for lunch and got a table in one of the on street cabanas pleasantly in the sunshine. Our food was good without being especially noteworthy or creative. Service was friendly and prompt.

We love their moussaka and chicken wraps, as well as their Greek fries with feta cheese. Lovely, open-air restaurant. Cozy space.

We have visited NOVY a few times for dinner and each time have been very happy with the food. It is a large offering of traditional Mediterranean food staples. Reservations are suggested.

I can speak for these choices: grilled Halloumi cheese, kale salad, shrimp pasta. All were great but the pasta was outstanding! Service was friendly and “with it”. We sat at a corner counter with the splendor and vitality of all that is 24th Street. Loved it.
Oh, the Noe Spritzer was refreshing and tasty.
