Almyra’s Kéfi Party – The Best Dinner Party

Last Saturday, Almyra’s bi-annual Kéfi Party proved once again why it’s one of the city’s most seductive, can’t-miss nights out. Guests arrived dressed to the nines glam fits, sharp suits, sparkle everywhere turning the dining room into a runway before anyone even sat down.

Restaurateurs Dean Pashalis and Anastasia Pashalis, whose family co-owns the Estia restaurant group were on hand for the festivities Saturday night.

Dinner itself was a full-on food fest: a lively, family-style feast where plates kept landing on the table, conversations grew louder, and every course felt like a warm-up act for what was coming next.

By the time the last bites were finished, anticipation was buzzing through the room.

And then….

right at 11:30 PM — the lights began to flicker.

That’s the signal everyone waits for.

the energy shifts and the room ignites, evolving into a vibrant club scene with dancing, bottle pops,

and plenty of napkin-throwing.

Making it the most Instagramable night in Philly. People want to remember it, and share it!!

Thanks to the staff who really help the night run smoothly, as it can get quite active with lots of moving parts throughout the evening.

Whether guests booked dining room tables or secured those coveted high-tops for the night, everyone was part of the same electric experience. Dinner was $55 with drinks à la carte, and the high-tops kept the cocktails flowing long after midnight.

Mark your calendars — the next Kéfi Party lands in April 2026. And trust me, you’ll want to be there. In the meantime check out my Instagram for video of the evening.

Have a great and safe Thanksgiving.

Socially yours, xoxo HughE
