Alexi's Greek Cafe at 3863 Fifth Ave anchors Hillcrest's Greek dining options with a counter-service format and a menu built around from-scratch béchamel, fresh-ground spice blends, and house-made falafel. Gyro platters, souvlaki skewers, and spanakopita share the Mediterranean preparation tradition found at FurnSaj Bakery & Restaurant further south on the same avenue. A layered vegetarian moussaka topped with béchamel draws a steady following among the neighborhood's plant-based diners, alongside falafel wraps and a rotating lentil soup served with warm pita. The counter-service format builds every gyro, souvlaki, and Greek salad to order using from-scratch béchamel and tzatziki, a Mediterranean scratch kitchen that shares the Fifth Ave dining corridor with the Afghan and Persian plates at Khyber Pass Zarparan Restaurant. The kitchen handles large-format family platters combining dual grilled proteins with house lentil soup, Greek salad, and warm pita for group dining of four or more.
