Acropolis Greek Taverna in Liverpool

Great food , great service and the chips are as good as the reviews say. Will definitely be returning with friends and family. We were visiting from Wolverhampton and were recommended to visit

A great find whilst staying at the Premier Inn nearby. A family run restaurant with a very warm welcome from start to finish. Really good portion sizes and the food was absolutley delicious. Nice to find an independent family run restaurant as it's a totally different experience in my opinion. Thoroughly recommend, you won't regret it.

A hidden gem! Wonderful Mum & daughter owners with great presence. The food was outstanding, cooked fresh to order. They even had a selection of cards if you needed one ! And cake with ice cream and a candle for a gift all courtesy of the owners. Will 100% visit again

Hidden gem in West Derby Village! Food was absolutely incredible as was the service from Elaine, Pat, George & Michelle. Highly recommend and wish we had been coming here years ago! Excellent in every way. Thanks for a really good night!

Lovely dinner food was superb staff was so friendly. We live in Essex but will definatly be back great night thank you all so much

I wish I'd of taken pictures of our food to show but it was so nice, I ate it before I even thought of picking up my phone. The calamari, was the nicest I've ever had, very thin batter and really clean, not greasy or oily at all, I really enjoyed it. The chips, well, what can I say... ammmmaaaazing. And the staff.... lovely people, we felt so welcome and almost part of the family buly the time we left. I think this is our new local.

Best greek restaurant in Liverpool!!

Delicious food. Chips chefs kiss. Waitress superb. Can not recommend enough.

Tucked around a corner, super friendly, chilled out restaurant. Great charcoal grilled lamb kebab and fantastic homemade chips with great portion sizes (unable to finish), all washed down with a glass of decent house red. Nice raki too!

The food is absolutely Gorgeous. Best chips you'll ever taste. We try something different every time and it never disappoints. Staff are always so friendly. Always treat us like family.

Usually we sit in at Acropolis, but went for a takeaway instead - have to say food is just as amazing takeaway, has amazing starters and mains, all carefully wrapped and still hot when got home! Will be back in asap!

My family and I enjoyed a wonderful meze at this great Greek restaurant in West Derby. We were greeted with a warm welcome and shown to a comfortable table. I love the decor here. The blue and white of the table cloths, the columns, and the freezes on the wall. A great ambience. The staff are attentive and friendly. The chef came out and chatted with us. Like home from home. The Meze was wonderful, and what we couldn't eat came home with us. Thank you for a great evening. This is the second time here. There will be more visits when we visit Liverpool.

Great little place, well hidden. If anyone is coeliac or gluten intolerent this is a great place for them especially if they like greek. We had one memeber who is ceoliac and they where catered for very well. Lovely staff and great owner/manager offered us free shots and if we wanted any more rice or salads with our mains. Tasty food, cozy atmosphere. Highly recommend!

We visited for dinner with my boyfriend. Lovely staff, we tried the meze menu and the food was literally amazing, very generous portions and lovely atmosphere. We will definitely be back

Those chips ..... Just WOW. Amazing food, amazing staff. 100% recommend. Delicious food, always a pleasure. Definitely will be back

Just had our son’s 21st birthday in Acropolis in West Derby Village, what an evening! Absolutely amazing night!! We had the medium meze and the food was to die for, the bread and dips starters were beautiful, the fish round was amazing and the meat, chips, rice and salad were the best! The owners and staff cannot do enough for you, they were amazing all night! For us, the celebration was absolutely topped off by fantastic entertainment, the belly dancing, singing and music was honestly the absolute best! We cannot recommend this place enough, we are regulars for couples night out, but this was absolutely the best night out for a family party! Thank you all at Acropolis! Xx

Came here with my sisters to celebrate a birthday the other night and we had the BEST time. We live local to the village but have never been here before - would (and will) go back in a heartbeat. Not only is the food RIDICULOUSLY delicious, the staff are some of the most wonderful people I've ever come across in the service industry. They made our whole experience even more wonderful, and the place itself is super pretty and offers an excellent atmosphere. Already planning on returning to see the belly dancers! Thank you so much to all the staff for giving us the best experience possible and for being so brilliant!

Visited for the first time and the food was delicious. Michelle (the owner) was so friendly and made us feel really welcome. I will recommend this restaurant and will definitely go again.

Absolutely gorgeous food and lots of it. Fast, attentive and super friendly staff - nothing was too much trouble. The owner was an absolute star and went out of her way to make us feel very welcome and, most importantly, never rushed.

Excellent little restaurant. Our first visit here after reading only good things. Staff and owner were very friendly, the food was very tasty with large portions served, we couldn't finish ours, and were asked if we would like our left-overs packed up to take. For starters we had two types of greek sausage and garlic bread with cheese, and mains, I had mussaka and my wife had the stifado, both meals came with spicy hand cut chips, which were excellent, rice and salad. We had Keo beer with the meal, but if we wanted wine the selection was very good. Pricing was very reasonible for the food and drink. This was our first visit, but definitely won't be our last. Highly recommended.

All I can say is wow.. this place as got to be one of THE best Greek restaurants I've ever been to and I am known for being very fussy. If you're a chip lover, again, WOW!! bloody gorgeous. Portions are huge and every this is fresh. This place is defo up there on my top 5 restaurants list. Can't wait to go back

One word to describe this place shocking! I went last night with some work friends it looked lovely when I went in but thats the only positive I can give it. One staff was rude to my work colleague saying they had been there a number of years well maybe it’s time to retire! On arrival my drink was wrong which fair enough I was still given as the was just going to throw it away my starter came after everyone else’s was only cheesy garlic bread. So I ate mine just as the meal came out. Again mine didn’t come out instead they argued it wasn’t preordered even tho we had a copy on my friends phone which they didn’t want to see so I’m all I had to pay £35 for a hand full of chips, garlic bread and a drink shocking. As they didn’t make my meal until 20 mins after everyone else had finished I did say I’d cancel to which I was told it’s been made now. I had to pay for a meal that I no longer wanted or would eat as I was going for drinks after it and couldn’t take the ‘doggy’ bag in the pubs with me. Would never come back

Fab food with generous portion and super friendly service. The fries was one of the best we ever had. Price was very reasonable as well.

Great food with generous portion and reasonable price. Fries was amongst the best we ever had. Staff were lovely and really looked after us. Will definitely visit again.

Authentic Greek food, huge portions and a good menu choices. Not too expensive. Staff are really friendly and efficient. A lovely place for a relaxed, delicious meal.

We enjoyed a fantastic night here to celebrate my husbands 70th birthday.As a family of ten we couldn't have chosen anywhere better.Wonderful staff are so attentive and helpful.The food was such good quality and beautifully presented.Everyone in our party agreed how great it all was.I would recommend Acropolis to anyone and would certainly visit here again.

Food and service were both very good but the evening was spoilt by the excessively loud music and even worse, the constant howling and shouting from the Greek belly dancer or whatever she was supposed to be. Ruined a nice evening out. Owner please take note

Food is microwaved. The second you enter the restaurant you can notice how the servers are rushed around whilst the manager stands behind the till doing nothing. One of the servers was being told to serve alcoholic drinks even though she admittedly told us she was underage. Has to send food back twice due to it being cold, this is when we were informed that the food was heated up in a microwave when ordered. 100% definitely DO NOT recommend.

Went for tea here yesterday with my friends. We have never been before but will go back. Food was delicious with generous portion sizes. Staff were very friendly and the place was nice inside. The home made chips were amazing! Would definitely recommend this place if you like traditional Greek food.

Lovely restaurant, staff were very friendly and helpful. Food was delicious. Will definitely go again soon.

Lovely food, staff, chips are to die for. Full to the brim. Will be back for sure, and I would highly recommend it. Sunday night was very quiet, surprisingly.

Food was lovely and owners were very friendly and attentive just one small complaint the plates were not hot wene food came out ! As my food went slightly warm ! Otherwise great experence

Came last night with my two daughters to celebrate one of their birthdays. We chose the small meze and added chips and rice. It was so plentiful and such good value. The food was lovely. The waitresses were lovely too and looked after us really well. What a gem of a restaurant. So glad we have found it and will definitely be back.

I was amazed with the menu and had a lovely lady explain the menu . We decided on the maze and never had it and it was excellent thank you to the lovely lady with the dark hair. Definitely come back.

Food is great but they turn you away if they can’t be bothered. I have turned up and the restaurant has been empty and I’ve been turned away. Main woman is just plain rude. Surprised they are still in business. Again can’t stress enough the food is great but the service is RUBBISH- if you even get to sit down that is

I am lucky enough to to eat out quite regularly with my family and we do enjoy Greek food. A friend recommended this place to me so I thought I would give it a go. Well I wasn't disappointed, I don't usually come and write on review sits but I thought I had to here because I could not fault this taverna at all. We had the medium banquet with about 40 different dishes. Wow, so much quality food, it was fantastic. The service was great and I will definitely be back here.

go quite regularly here as it’s a family run business and would rather go to these that chains or franchise owned. always welcoming reception from the wife and husband, always friendly smiles and good chats. CHIPS are just to die for and can’t find anything that comes close. please show support to these family run businesses rather than multi million pound owned restaurants.

Booked by a friend and I don’t normally eat Greek food. Was very pleasantly surprised. Food was really tasty, hot and plenty of it. The staff were really friendly, helpful and attentive. Will definitely go again.

Been to the Acropolis a few times ...always enjoyed it ...only 2 of us tonight...the food was great ...Nice prawn starter with warm bread then steak and chicken kebab with rice chips and salad ...massively generous portions...staff are great ...mum and daughter really welcoming and friendly...Will definitely visit again

My partner an I found this little gem tucked away in West Derby, what a place! Set above a row of shops and another restaurent. The welcome we received and the service was amazing, proper family run business following traditional greek family recipes and cooking styles. We ordered a medium meze for 2, food tasted really fresh an I'd swear that the octopus for calamari was just caught 2 minutes before being served! Georgia honestly couldn't do enough for us to make us feel welcome and feel like family. Looking forward to our next visit

Great authentic food in a lovely venue with fantastic service. Perfect for families and couples wanting a taste of Greece in West Derby. Excellent value for money in terms of food quantity and quality. Good options for pescatarians. The homemade chips are a must.

Tucked away just of the main road, facing the church in West Derby village, this small and cozy taverna is well worth a visit. Greeted by George, owner and chef, and his partner Michelle on arrival we were seated and attended to promptly. Whilst drinks were served we chatted with George and plumped for the 21 plate meze. We thought that 21 plates would suffice for three of us, truth is, it would have done 4 or more. The portions are generous. The food was fresh and tasty and served the traditional way. First came the dips, bread and starters. When we were ready came the fish dishes and after that, at our convenience, the meat dishes. We left completely stuffed and there was still some food left on the plates, which George offered to bag for us. This is the first time in a long time that the food in a Taverna in England was as tasty as the food we had in Greece. We will definitely return.

Where to start! From the minute you sit down to when you leave the owner is attentive and caring, you can tell everyone who works there has a love for the food. The food is excellent, we had the Meze and every item was delicious. As it was our first time the chef served us some of their famous chips on the house (I now know why all the other reviews talk about them). You can see why this place is 4.7 stars, will definitely be returning!

Wow first visit tonight we ordered the meze which was absolutely fantastic, Michelle & George really looked after us this will definitely became a regular thing can't recommend highly enough best greek restaurant I've ever been too.

Food is delicious and plentiful, very friendly and attentive staff. Never disappointed

Went to celebrate two friends birthday's.The food is always good,and hot.And the staff are lovely.We have booked to go again in July.

Came last month for my mum’s birthday. Service was great and the food was fantastic. We ordered the mezze and they were fine about changing the fish dishes due to my allergies. We came with 2 kids and they loved the kids meals. Everything was hot and although you may wait abit longer everything was cooked fresh and well worth the wait. They then brought out my mums birthday cake and sang to her. Customer service was fab and we would come back again!! Thank you very much

Michelle was a lovely host first time here but definitely won't be the last,really enjoyed the evening would recommend

Acropolis prides itself on serving deliciously authentic Greek food at modest prices. A traditional venue with lovely decor, creating a great atmosphere. The food was absolutely delicious and perfectly balanced with gorgeous salads & homemade chips. Michelle is a wonderful lady who goes above and beyond to make you feel at home. A little heaven for kids with special treats on the house. George is passionate about food and it reflects in all his dishes. The service was very attentive and ticked all the boxes. Highly recommended.

Got the meze platter, every dish they brought out was amazing! Succulent meat, tasty salad & dips, seasoned chips were great! Worth every penny, looking forward to going again!

Go Greek. Rounded choice of authentic Greek dishes, excellent quality, and delivered with joyful service.

The Food is outstanding and the hospitality/service is out of this world. You need to try it out :)

This place is best Greek/Turkish i’ve ever been to! Food is freshly cooked, tasty and plenty of it too! Staff are welcoming, friendly and professional who made our special little occasion unforgettable. We’ll definitely be back! Must visit when in surrounding areas..! Wouldn’t go anywhere else! Xx

Well it was my fiancée’s birthday an I took her along with our three kids. First off, the restaurant is stunning. You’d think you were in Greece. Then came the staff who were so warm and accommodating. Then came the food. Oh my god.👌 Me and my daughter had the meze and each relentless course was as delicious as the the last. My unadventurous son had steak which was cooked perfectly. An don’t even get me started on the chips. I WILL be back, and I will be recommending to all my friends and family. You gotta go people. Wonderful evening.👌

All the Food was hot and delicious didn’t have to wait long for it to arrive the chips are a must 10/10 service will be using it more often

Lovely food and service. I always think if the kids feel special it makes you feel happy. The kids menu is great offering a kebab. We all shared th massive maze and it was lovely the kids swept the prawns. We'll done, definitely recommend 👌

If your looking for real authentic Greek food with amazing flavours then this is the place to come, the staff are so friendly and will go above and beyond for you nothing is to much the prices compared to others is so much cheaper

We were going out for dinner for my partners Mum's birthday tonight and thought we had made a reservation at a different restaurant but were told on arrival, that their reservation site hadn't been working, and they didn't have our booking. While outside the restaurant thinking where we should go we noticed a Greek Restaurant on the same road and called in on the off-chance that they could fit us in (7 adults & 3 children) and they were happy to accommodate us. The food was lovely, and we had a brilliant meal. The staff were so nice and great with the children and they even brought a cake out with candles and sang 'Happy Birthday'. It was a great night and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Acropolis for a great meal and great service.

After our reservation was not acknowledged by a different restaurant, party of 10 and nowhere to go, we stumbled across this little gem!! They couldn’t of been more accommodating at such short notice. Food was amazing! Kebabs, salads, steaks, perfection. Also the best chips ever!!! The staff are what makes this place extra special and deserve so much credit. Thanks so much for a great evening and I can’t wait to come back

Microwaved Lamb Kleftico, ice cold. Chef microwaved it for 120 seconds instead of 12 minutes by accident. Nice people running it, gave us free drinks, but food quality was poor.

Very friendly and welcoming staff. I’m a fussy eater but I found their food to be delicious.

What a discovery yesterday night looking for a place that would accommodate us very last minute. If you like real Greek food, no fancy sauces, no fancy names, just hearty, real, freshly made food, Acropolis in West Derby is your place. The food is wholesome, the kind of flavours any Mediterranean person grew up with. The staff and the owners are so welcoming, and can't do enough to make you feel at home. And by the way, they claim to make the best chips in Europe, and it's not a lie.

Great little Greek gem tucked away around a corner in West Derby Village. Brilliant service from homely staff, amazing food with ample portions and splendid decor giving great ambience. There's also a good selection of drinks & spirits available from the bar - Greek favourites like Mythos lager and plenty of decent ouzo. Had the Halloumi kebab which comes with rice, chips and a whole host of grilled Mediterranean veg - will come back soon to explore more of this Greektastic menu!

Visited this restaurant with my daughter, partner and Granddaughter for my birthday. We were enjoying meal until my daughter found a hair in her dinner. We made the server aware and they said it was a hair from a lettuce. As my daughter is a chef she politely pointed it out it was not and was a black hair which you could plainly see. The server took her plate into the chef and we could instantly hear them laughing loudly in the back. The server again come back and offered a replacement meal which she declined and as no longer felt she could eat as it has put her off. The chef apparently offered to give us a discount off the meal and a free piece of cake. Upon receipt of the bill they had deducted £7.50 off the bill which we disagreed with and the server went into see him again to which we again heard loud laughing. The response was because you have ate half the meal they discounted half the price. We decided to pay the bill as couldn’t be bothered arguing the toss. We will not return or recommend to family or friends due to the attitude of the staff.

Absolutely gorgeous could actually taste Greece in every bite. Think I have holiday blues now haha gorgeous "Greek chips" are a must try

Absolutely fantastic, came here with my dad and family recently and I loved it. Excellent foods and Service and like my dad said him his review I would of have more than 5 stars i I was able to

We love Greek food but this is up there with the best I have had in England. There are small details like a delicious dressing for the salad that really stand out. It's not a chippy but the chips are excellent. My family had a very generous meze, and I had a very very good kleftiko . It was very quiet but that can't last long as the food served there is top drawer.

First time but will be coming back. Lovely staff and beautiful food

Place clean and outgoing I Louise loves this place even with the son Thank you food fantastic and lovely but there is only 1 small thing was they where shutt the shutters down they gave us a hint to leave early but lovely staff

Service was excellent, thank you Helen 🙂 the food was to die for. Can't wait to go back

We struggled through Tuesday drizzle for a Greek feast on the Acropolis ! Lovely welcome from Helen to a spotless table and the Merlot arrived quickly with icy water. We both love Greek food and can't ever remember better. My friend's chops reminded me of a hillside in Crete where a wizened old man barbecued chops to die for ! This may sound strange but the highlights of the meal for me were George's tart tahini dip and the wonderful salad dressing. We'll be back !

Great meal, service excellent, and gluten free menu - definitely recommend this restaurant 👍

Very good Greek restaurant would recommend

The most delicious and authentic food you have ever tasted!! Extremely good portions. Highly recommended!! Must come and visit!!

Meal started off ok. Lovely dips. Went downhill after that. Party of 6. 4 people finished their food. Last 2 never got their main meal. After complaining, and almost an hour and a half later, were forced to take the mains home. Manager's excuses just made the mediocre experience a bad one. Now opened the food they packed for us. Half the meat was missing. So for £50 for 2 people we basically got some dips. Shame really, could have been a nice meal

With its authentic Greek menu, friendly staff and the warmest of welcomes, Acropolis is a first class dining experience. If you can't go abroad this summer - go to the Acropolis in West Derby and live the dream.

We’re just picked a up a takeaway from Acropolis and boy we’re we impressed!Lovely friendly people working here, great atmosphere.The food was absolutely astonishing! Best Greek food ever tasted.We had veggie moussaka, feta and spinach pie, plenty of chips and rice, Greek salad, humus and a garlic bread.Couldn’t recommend highly enough. Hoping to sit in when it’s possible but definitely planning another takeaway.Thanks again for great food.

The staff here are so friendly and attentive.We were welcomed and escorted to our table..it was quiet at 6pm but we chose this time to keep as distanced as possible under covid restrictions.We chose the medium meze..it was delicious..all courses of good quality.We had a fair bit left over so glad we didnt go largeOur waitress wrapped our last course to take home and the complemetary shot was most welcome as we left..we will definately return!

Amazing night here for my brothers 40th prior to Christmas. Staff was superb, food amazing and the whole night we was made to feel extra special. Would highly recommend this restaurant

Went here for my sons birthday on a Sunday and arrived when it opened at 5pm. All staff were very friendly and helpful and couldn’t do enough for us. We all had 3 courses each and a few drinks including a free shot of ouzo at the end which was a nice touch. Will definitely be going back!

Visited on a Sunday for a joint birthday celebration. Family of 6 people. Had a lovely meal. Best Greek restaurant in Liverpool. Well worth a visit. 👍 👍 👍

Hi my name is louise lamkin and this restaurant Is fantastic great friendley staff and thank you for my cake very clean great friends to me

Such friendly family restaurant. We have celebrated a family 80th in the restaurant last year. Made us very welcome and we all had such a lovely night. Food was amazing. Very good value and delicious. Took advantage of the delivery option. Did not expect it to be as nice as when we ate in but it was just as delicious as when we ate in. Would highly recommend

Fabulous Greek restaurant. This is the first Greek restaurant where I have come across food my Greek Mother In Law gave me in her own home.

Lovely meal,Very friendly staff. Follows all safety rules including social distancing Highly recommended

Comida y bebida excelentes como siempre. Servicio como siempre de primera categoría. Siempre me hizo sentir bienvenido por todo el personal, el chef siempre sale a preguntar si la comida está bien, siempre es un buen toque. Toda la familia disfrutó de la comida, bebida y el ambiente. Los volveremos a ver pronto xxx

Had a fantastic meal there on Friday nite we had the lamb shanks which was cooked to perfection and the home mad chips was lovely 😊

Thank you George and family for the wonderful hospitality we received on our visit to your restaurant, the food and service was absolutely fantastic. best wishes to you all and we look forward to coming again the next time we are up in Liverpool.

Mi pareja sugirió venir al restaurante en el que había estado antes y me alegré mucho de haber ido, el personal fue muy atento, parecía que los conocíamos desde hace años. La comida era excelente, me dieron el cordero, era enorme. Disfruté todos los aspectos de este restaurante, el chef incluso salió para ver si lo disfrutamos. Seré honesto, fue uno de los mejores corderos que he tenido en años y las patatas fritas son para morirse. Volveré de nuevo, es una pena que haya esperado tanto tiempo para irme. Bien hecho, fantástico trabajo de la Acrópolis, nos vemos pronto.

Después de ver la camioneta que anunciaba comidas para llevar junto a la Acrópolis estacionada en Queens Drive, decidimos probarla para una celebración familiar el viernes pasado.Esta es una comida de calidad de restaurante que se entrega caliente, por lo que se puede servir de inmediato.Las patatas fritas eran excelentes. Todos lo disfrutaron y fue una parte clave de nuestra velada. (¡También disfruté la parte 2 de mi pierna de cordero el sábado!) Gracias a Michelle por arreglarlo todo.

Lovely food the staff are really friendly amazing 10out of 10

Absolutely amazing! First visit and we were made to feel at home. Owners and staff couldn't do enough for you. Food is more than delicious!!! We will definitely be back! Thank you xxx

Esta fiesta fue para celebrar un 40º cumpleaños. Debido a que asistieron algunas personas vulnerables, acordamos pedir comida y que se la entregaran.A todos nos encanta la comida griega, no podríamos haber elegido un lugar mejor que la Acrópolis.Hicimos nuestro pedido para 9 personas, el tipo con el que hablé fue muy útil.Cuando llegó la comida, nos sorprendió la cantidad de comida que enviaron. La comida era absolutamente deliciosa, todo.Hizo que la noche fuera muy especial.Además, esta es la primera vez que hago un pedido en cualquier lugar y recibo todo lo que solicité y más. No puedo agradecerles lo suficiente. Primera clase.

Una cálida bienvenida encantadora marcó la pauta para una gran velada. Cada miembro del personal tenía una actitud genuinamente amable y explicaba el menú. Tuve las salchichas de ternera al vino tinto y la pierna de cordero, ambas simplemente excelentes. Realmente no puedo hablar maravillas de toda la experiencia de la noche. Llega y visita esta joya escondida de West Derby.

Loved my time at this place and to be looked after by a fellow Liverpool Collegiate old boy (76 - 81) made it extra special. Thanks for a great night George - You are a superb host xxx

Myself my husband and my 11 year old son had a lovely meal here. Lovely atmosphere friendly staff and fabulous food. We have booked again for my husbands birthday with a bigger party. Looking forward to going back for more fabulous food xx

First time tonight ordering from this place. What can i say- lovely people- gorgeous food - we just got a takeaway - food was hot and lovely - also given 2 complimentary drinks which was a lovely touch - we will definately be back

Once again fab food and great service. We eat here everytime we are in Liverpool.

He estado en este pequeño lugar dos veces con la intención de convertirlo en un lugar habitual. Un pequeño gran restaurante familiar y es un placer conocer a esta familia. El chef ciertamente conoce el tamaño de su porción, ¡al estilo chipriota!La decoración es elegante, limpia, acogedora y la comida es excelente.Recomiendo al 100% este lugar, no te decepcionará. ¡Hasta la próxima, yamas!
