"From the team behind one South End hot spot (Kava Neo-Taverna) comes another: Ilona. While its big sister focuses on Greek food, Ilona — which boasts a colorful, attractive space — travels around the Eastern Mediterranean, with touches of Greece but also Georgia, Turkey, Lebanon, and Israel. Standout dishes include the adana lamb kebab; pan-seared haloumi with pickled grapes; and shish barak, a lamb-stuffed pastry." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal, Terrence Doyle
