) or traditionally, phyllo dough. It might sound intense, but it’s a much more subtle dessert than baklava, with just a hint of sweetness and grainy texture.

Last but not certainly not least is the myzithropita, which is like a Greek cheesecake made with myzithra cheese (similar to ricotta), lemon, sugar, eggs and the other cheesecake usual suspects. This is far from ordinary though, as it is topped with a generous layer of fragrant cinnamon and kataifi, adding that sweet and spicy aroma to the creamy cheesecake. Loi’s version also had a layer of honey-soaked chopped nuts on the bottom, which put it completely over the top. Yia Yia would be proud.

Loi is located on 208 West 70th street between Amsterdam and West End Avenues.

In addition to being a lovely, comfortable dining space with ample bar (and leg) room, it’s a perfect place to host a party for your next big Greek get-together, with three private rooms that can seat up to 44 people.
