Zenon Taverna

Don't be intimidated by the spiral-bound, ten-page menu at this homey-looking Astoria treasure; we'll give you the delicious highlights. Start with the halloumi ($8), hearty sheep-and-goat's-milk cheese that's grilled and served with lemon, or the sheftalia ($8), pork meatballs studded with green onions and herbs. The innovative children's menu includes pork kebab with Cypriot fries ($9). Though it won't be easy, save room for the shamali ($4.50), a honey-soaked semolina cake perfumed with cloves, cinnamon and rose water.
