Story summary

As of October 21, 2026, Sydney Morning Herald published a positive review of Kefi, a restaurant located on the Central Coast near Brisbane Water. The article describes Kefi as offering an authentic Greek taverna experience with Aegean favorites such as lamb keftedes, saganaki prawns, and pastitsio.

Narrative

The warmth of the welcome here takes you straight to a Greek taverna, as does a menu filled with Aegean favourites: those lamb keftedes, warming and pleasant; saganaki prawns, swimming in a hearty tomato sugo with pita to mop; and pastitsio, Greece’s answer to lasagne, made at Kefi with obvious care.
