EXCELLENT....thanks for the update...LOVE your little place.
Keep up the yummy food...and personally I'm not surprised at all that drinks are not included anymore....its not a big deal at all imho.

EVERYONE we have sent to your place loves it....we'll be back in December for more.

BTW - the harissa you added last week to our wraps was the perfect amount of spice to 'bam' up another notch to an already tasty morsel!

**Heather** · 10-12-2010

Oh wow wow, thanks for the menu and list of prices! I'm for sure going to come eat soon, and also buy some harissa, yogurt, tzatziki, and homemade pita! How exciting.

Enjoyed a falafel and donar kebab last night. Both were excellent. Really loved the homemade pita, could live on them!

Jenmal · 10-25-2010

UMMMMMMMM...Can't wait to try this joint out. Thanks for the menu too.

Anna Banana · 10-25-2010

Now that the inlaws have finally left

and I will have some free time ( yes!!! ) I'll pop by for sure!

bigdogmom · 10-25-2010

It's on my must-try list with hours and address noted!!

Big Fish · 12-03-2010

Tragic I hope NOT

.....hubby walked past Kefa tonight (a friday) at supper time and it was closed

They've been planning on Kefa all week....

He didn't think he even saw a sign....(we've been there lots and know exactly where it is).

Someone (PACHECO??) Pleeeeease say you are still open, or moved, on holiday or something good and have not been stricken by the dreaded other option

Snappy, Al - do YOU know anything?

His hours have been very erratic lately. He had friends in town 2 or 3 weeks ago. I will call him tomorrow and see exactly what is going on. Hopefully he is still in business.

Txs Al...knew I could count on you in the food scouting department!
Hopefully hubby can still get his fix before leaving on tues..otherwise we'll have to wait 25 more sleeps.

absoluteAL · 12-04-2010

Just called BAHA (a.k.a. Pacheco) owner of KEFA. YES, he will be open at 5 tonight.

All that I can say is one of my restaurants I kept open 24/7 365 for 13+ years. People always knew that they could come there and the place would be open and they could eat. When a restaurant has inconsistent hours people will find other places to eat. The last 2 times that I went to KEFA the place was closed. The 3rd time I called Baha and he was out of his main product

.
With that said, I am going there tonight but I will do carryout

. Headed to Byblos for lunch now.

Big Fish · 12-04-2010

Txs Al...I have forwarded this msg on to hungry recipients. I do wish places like this would post their hours or oddities on the door - cuz yes, I agree with your comment about inconsistent times etc and people moving on to find something else cuz they think its closed for good. Doing our best to support Kefa as it is totally worth it...but when its all closed up on days it is expected to be open. its annoying...kinda like Era Ora and their extended brief disappearance

Big Fish · 12-16-2010

Kefa has CLOSED. 14 Dec was the last day.

I am deeply saddened....was really hoping this place would manage to hang in there and survive the low season, bouncing back in the high season...but alas no.

It was our new fave hole in the wall place too.
Good luck Pacheco with what you do next...we will REALLY miss you and your yummy food.
