"Walk into Kanella Grill on a sunny morning and you might feel like you’ve arrived in the Mediterranean , thanks to the whitewashed walls, blue and white gingham tablecloths, and streaming natural light. The menu, which includes dishes like fried eggs with halloumi and shakshouka, all whipped up by chef-owner Konstantinos Pitsillides, fits with the theme. While the restaurant is technically a Greek Cypriot kitchen, the brunch menu borrows from other countries in the region, including Yemen and Tunisia: try the malawah , a flaky, pan-fried Yemeni flatbread that’s served here with a boiled egg, spicy tomato salad, and Greek yogurt." - Devra Ferst
