Pontos Taverna

Pontos Taverna is a Greek restaurant serving Pontian-style family dishes, with a menu built around pass-around platters and individual plates. Grilled and fried favorites include souvlaki, gyro, seasoned beef patties stuffed with saganaki cheese, lamb chops, and shrimp sautéed with tomato and feta. The menu also covers dips with warm pita, Greek salads, and homemade desserts such as baklava and rice pudding.

The restaurant is run by a family that opened it in 2010, and it is known locally as a hidden gem because it is tucked away on Isaacs Street in Norwalk, next to the Garden Cinema off Wall Street. It is open Tuesday through Saturday for lunch and dinner and closed on Sundays and Mondays. Takeout orders can be placed online.
