I’ve been to Kefi several times and have never been disappointed. I’ve ordered appetizers at the bar, to-go, and enjoyed a relaxing dining experience in the restaurant. My absolute favorite is still the mahamara dip.

My fiancé and I dined here for our three year anniversary in July, and between the cozy atmosphere, caution taken with my food allergy (gluten free), and a variety of drink options, it was the perfect surprise. Cherry on top? Besides the amazing service, I had the best flourless chocolate cake for dessert--which is extremely hard to find since they're normally bone dry. It's easy to rack up a bill (happily), so it'll be a special occasion spot, but can't wait to dine here again.

This is our favorite restaurant in Knoxville. The drinks AND the food are always incredible. Kate always takes the very best care of us and makes us feel special every single time. Her service is just as good as the chicken, and if you’ve had that, you know what I mean.

Food was stale (bread with olive tray) my lobster pasta dish was smothered in what I assume to be canola oil and little bit of meat, my wife’s meal was a dried out piece of short rib that tasted like it was in a crockpot in grandmas house all day. Crazy prices for some chilis food unfortunately.

The food was phenomenal. Service was wonderful. Our group of four had a reservation for 4 PM and was seated immediately. Our server was attentive without being interruptive to our experience. I highly recommend for a special occasion.

Kefi was absolutely wonderful! The food was fabulous, the service was amazing and attentive, and the atmosphere was upscale and cozy! I will keep coming back again and again!
Kefi was a total letdown. The short ribs were dry as hell, served on mushy, flavorless grits with random tomatoes and hard carrots that made no sense together. Leafy greens tossed on top didn’t save it—nothing meshed, no flavor harmony. Save your money and eat somewhere else.

Celebrated or 34th wedding aniversary. Atmosphere exceptional, service and food outstanding, and proportions generous. Instead of two entrees we ordered a variety of small plates. All was fantastic. Cannot find any negatives. Strongly recommend!

Kefi absolutely blew us away! Booking a large group can sometimes be a hassle, but the team at Kefi made it so easy—their responsiveness and flexibility were so appreciated. From the start, everything was seamless.
Every dish we tried was packed with flavor, and the cocktails were just as impressive—beautifully crafted and delicious. It was the perfect spot for our bachelorette dinner, and the experience was made even better by our incredible waitress, Rachel.
Rachel had the most amazing energy and instantly clicked with our group. She made our bride feel so special by surprising her with a celebratory dessert, which was such a thoughtful touch. She also gave us some fantastic local recommendations that turned out to be total hits.
From start to finish, Kefi delivered an unforgettable evening. Great food, amazing service, and an atmosphere that made us feel completely welcome. Highly recommend for any group celebration!
