Kiki's Greek Tavern in Chinatown

Found such a great spot! Kiki's Greek Tavern in Chinatown. The Times wrote it up two weeks ago so I tried it out with my friends Kara and Alice. It's adorable! It's down a tiny street in deep Chinatown (off the East Broadway stop) and to fit in with the neighborhood, the awning says "Kiki's Tavern" in Chinese characters. The inside is sparse and charming and the waiters are so friendly and don't rush you at all. Most importantly, the food is fantastic. 
They have the authentic salt from Greece (doesn't taste any different, but anyone who has spent time in Greece will appreciate it!).
The menu is very simple and the food is amazing! The octopus is so tender and tasty, the feta in the Greek salad is a perfect mix of crumbly and creamy, and the dips with freshly grilled bread are great. The mixed grill is huge so split it between at least 4 people. Isn't the menu description great? I, of course, was too busy chatting over some tasty chilled Assyrtiko to take pictures of the food, but it really was terrific and I would recommend this spot highly. It also has a cool hidden factor so you'll get credit for finding a gem.
