Our Guestbook
“ I thought this was a great mom and pop pop store to enjoy a quick Mediterranean meal. There is plenty of space inside when we showed up, and I noticed that they also do a lot of delivery orders. I think the food was decent, but maybe because we showed up during a downtime that maybe was a little drier than usual. ”
“ Consistently delicious and the perfect place to get food for our wedding reception. Chicken is moist and flavorful, the veggies are crisp, the salad dressing for the greek salad was delicious and we had large portions. Highly recommend Taverna! ”
“ Ordered take out and very pleased with quality of food and serving sizes! Greek salad with gyro meat was delicious and a huge portion for sharing! Hummus and tabbouleh was very good and very pleased with amount of pita bread provided as we always seem to not have enough pita at most places. Gyro sandwich looked good and none leftover from 11 year old. Don't recommend eating there as small and older inside. Recommend ordering to go. ”
“ Amazing! Great service. Some of the best Mediterranean food I've ever had. Love everything from the meats to the rice to the pitas. ”
“ Food was amazing! We have tried multiple other Mediterranean food places since moving to North county a few months ago and Taverna was the best! The flavors were on point on all the meats and sauces. The chicken was perfectly cooked and still juicy and very tender. I never eat salad and I ate the one served as a side with the Meal for 2 because the flavor was just so good. Definitely will be a regular here from now on! ”
“ This is the place you've been looking for! Food was amazing, my husband, toddler and I, finished every bite. The Chicken plate has Salad, Hummus, Greek yogurt sauce, and rice! Normally you have to order hummus on the side but this place includes it! Food was so fresh! Service was great, restaurant was clean. ”
“ Found Taverna on Yelp and found it to be a nice, quiet place in the middle of a small strip mall. Staff is friendly and the restaurant is clean. You order at the counter then the food is brought to the table you select. Ordered the chicken salad lunch special and was happy with my choice. Roasted vegetables, tomatoes, olives, red onion and tender grilled chicken topped the crunchy romaine lettuce. The special included a side of delicious tzatziki, tasty hummus, warm pita and a fountain drink. My coworkers ordered the gyros lunch plate and the lamb kebab plate....both said their food was delicious. Will definitely come back if I'm in the area. ”
“ Pleasantly surprised by the food, stopped in to an unassuming place in a shopping center for dinner. AMAZING dolmas, fresh and warm, and several vegetarian/vegan options. Quick service, it's a walk up counter, casual dining style. Small cleaning seating area, seems to see a lot of takeout business. ”
“ Mediterranean Comfort Food at its Finest!!! I'm so happy to have finally tried Taverna! Even though there are several "chain" Mediterranean eateries located closer to my house, this place wins, hands down, because their food seriously tastes home cooked! I just gotta say that their Lamb Shank is absolutely exquisite! It's perfectly prepared with a tangy, tasty, delicate sauce that coats the meat. What's more, the rice they they serve with it is so incredibly flavorful and their entrees also come with a fresh side salad. I'm married to someone who is 1/2 Greek and they love them their lamb so we even came back the next weekend to get another order of this! Their Tzatziki is like dipping your pita bread into a fragrantly fresh and creamy milkshake. Their Baba Ghanoush (Roasted Eggplant) is also totally awesome because it has a light but hearty garlic flavor and their Gyro Fries are a meal in itself. If you're not sure what to order I'd highly recommend their "Meal For Two" because it comes with an assortment of meats, salad, sauces, and yummy Bakalva! For me Taverna is totally worth the drive from my house because you can tell that their food is absolutely made with Love! ”
