Chios Greek Taverna is Wonder Central Harlem’s more traditional Greek play, built around James Beard Award–winning chef Michael Symon’s takes on mezze, souvlaki, spanakopita, and whole branzino for delivery and limited food-hall-style seating. It’s where Harlem residents turn when they want a full Greek spread—spreads, grilled meats, and sides—without trekking downtown to a sit-down taverna.
Must-Try Dishes: Spanakopita, Beef Souvlaki, Simply Roasted Branzino
