Mediterranean-influenced menu with lemony soup, lamb burgers
"This casual bistro-like restaurant is a lovely place to eat Greek food surrounded by friendly servers in branded T-shirts. It’s also a great place to have lunch and wine. During the day, everyone fills the high tops and sidewalk tables to drink rosé and soak in the warm atmosphere. Order the lamb gyro with paper-thin slices of meat, the garlic fries topped with Greek cheese, and the very thick, very lamb-y burger. Like with any casual meet-up spot, you’ll probably get seated quickly if you walk in. Prepare to stay awhile." - lani conway, ricky rodriguez, julia chen 1
"This Greek restaurant has been in the neighborhood since the ‘70s, and it’s now run by the granddaughters of the original owners. Diners usually grab a glass of wine at the tall tables or out on the sidewalk, but Novy is also open for takeout, with lemony soup, cucumber-tomato salad, chicken wraps, lamb burgers, and eggplant moussaka to go." - Paolo Bicchieri

"A nearby Greek standby, Novy opened in 2015 as a response to the neighborhood's demand for another Greek restaurant; Kristen Gianaras McCaffery is one of the sisters who own it, and she promises that Novy isn’t going anywhere. Her family roots in the neighborhood go back further — her parents owned Panos from 1977 to 1999 — which informs her approach of listening to the neighborhood." - Becky Duffett
"NOVY Restaurant is lined up as a vendor for the SF BrunchCon and, according to the founder, was located and vetted via Yelp." - Caleb Pershan
