Lefteris Greek Taverna in Liverpool

This review is so overdue , so apologies to the owners of this superb establishment. Ian & I (Laura) went here to celebrate my birthday on 9th September 2024 (our second visit to Liverpool). We wanted to find a family run authentic Greek restaurant, so we researched the best Greek restaurants in Liverpool & read the reviews. We had a wonderful experience from this lovey couple. The food was home made & we ate morsel of food on our plate; we had PSITO-KLEFTIKO Lamb on the bone slowly oven cooked in tomatoes & herbs & for dessert; Baklava. The Desserts are homemade via his wife, who gave me a slice of Bakewell Tart for my birthday to take with us. We also met a lovely couple who sat next to us; they were regulars , their nephew lived in Greece. Please send them our regards when they are in next. We shall definitely, be returning to this superb restaurant, upon our next visit to Liverpool.

One of the most authentic Liverpool restaurants. Love this place!

We’ve had lovely meal at Lefteris’s this evening. My chicken kebab was beautifully cooked - crispy and tasty on the outside but still moist and soft inside, so often you get dry tough meat on a kebab, so this was a treat. My husbands garlic prawns were delicious. Friendly and efficient staff. Reasonable prices. A lovely evening out.

Tasty butterbean starter. Moussaka - very mediocre, reminded me of school dinners. Spanakopita - was it reheated in a microwave? Pastry seemed like it. Chips and rice - seemed a little odd together? Complementary portion of cake - a nice touch. They seem to have loyal customers from the diners around us, so maybe things can be better.

Fabulous food, drink & atmosphere. The home made dessert was delicious decent portions of food also

The food options are excellent and delicious The potatoes with chickpeas are delicious

Never have had a more pleasant meal, was so polite and helpful, going above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Thanks George for the wonderful care given to us!

A real Greek tavern! Not like Greek or Greek style…Very happy with service and the quality of food. Good people and good professionals!

Amazing meal with friends on father's day. We are not local but have visited many times while staying with friends. This occasion did not disappoint. Really nice welcome and excellent service. The food was as good as ever and we will visit again next time we are in Liverpool.

Great Greek taverna, wonderful hospitality and authentic Greek cuisine.

Great food great price. Friendly and relaxed

Fantastic restaurant, lovely food brilliant service.

Εμείς όταν πάμε σε ένα εστιατόριο για να περνάμε καλά συνδυάζω με φιλοξενία και καλό φαγητό Σε αυτό το εστιατόριο μόλις μπήκαμε μέσα καταλάβαμε το πρώτο πράγμα την φιλοξενία Και την ώρα το φαγητό εγώ μαζί με τη γυναίκα μου είδαμε ότι τα φαγητά είναι πολύ νόστιμα και νιώθαμε σαν να είμαστε στην Ελλάδα σας ευχαριστώ πολύ παιδιά👏👏👏👏

We had a wonderful celebration of the Orthodox Easter in Lefteri's taverna. The food was excellent and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The place made us feel very relaxed and welcomed during the time spent. Will definitely recommend it and is 10 🌟. See you soon

You can’t fault this restaurant Spotlessly clean, lovely staff And the food is fantastic Aubergine fritters, barbecue prawns, and the slow cooked lamb beautifully cooked and presented If you want great good Greek food this is the place

We had the meze and it was delicious My wife had feta cheese with honey and nuts starter and said it was to die for.The service from Georgio and the rest of the staff was friendly and efficient.This is the best Greek restaurant in Liverpool in our opinion

I had my 17th birthday party upstairs in the restaurant and it was perfect! The staff, service and food was great. I’d definitely recommend to anyone for either food or to have a party.

My granddaughter asked if we could go again on a visit from Ireland 11 of us descended on the restaurant The welcome was fantastic and the service brilliant The food was excellent lamb chops, prawns all cooked fresh No complaints off any of us the best Greek Restaurant in the area

Lovely food, Great atmosphere and Great service 🥰

Lovely food and friendly, helpful staff. Amazing Mezzes.

Another lovely night at Lefteris with friends. Food plentiful and tasty (as usual), great atmosphere in one of the best Greek restaurants around 👍

Great evening, the food was perfect and a wide variety, the staff were very excellent and kind. It is the best greek restaurant in liverpool. (for us) Thank you everyone.

We had a lovely family celebration here! The food and service was excellent. We went early evening which suited the little ones in our group. The staff were charming and accommodating. The meat was tender accompanied by tasty dips, pitta, chips and rice. Aunties carrot cake was to die for! All nine of us will be back.

It’s a great experience . Very welcoming and charming . Amazing wine and food and service. Staff are extremely knowledgeable and make great recommendations.

Horrendous!!! That was one of the worst experiences Ive had from a Greek restaurant in Liverpool. Absolutely unacceptable. The food was freezing. They charge you for the smallest portions sizes and it’s advertised as 2x bread with each starter. We ordered 3 starters and were given 1 piece of cold stale bread. The main meals are advertised as being accompanied with its own rice and chips. We were given a tiny one potion of stone cold rice and solid cold uncooked chips. And the tahini was one of the worst I’ve ever tried. Avoid this place at all costs!!!!!

Love this restaurant - food, service and atmosphere were 10/10. We ordered the £25pp mezze. Portion was just nice and food were delicious. The restaurant was almost full on a Monday night (quite busy). Nevertheless, we were amazed at the prompt and impeccable service. Will definitely return and recommend!

Recommend from a friend. One of the best Greek food that I have tried

Food was spot on. Service was excellent

Food is addictive beware! 👏👏. Eat in or pickup. Lefteris never fails✔️. We love Afelia. So good. Well done Lefteris.

Lovely little Greek restaurant, with a nice atmosphere. Very friendly staff. Amazing food with a good range of vegetarian selection at a good price

Lovely little place with very friendly and attentive staff

Fantastic food and first class service. Aunties tiramisu 10/10! Great value for money. Would highly recommend. Can’t wait to come back!

Booked a table last minute for two. It wasn’t busy when we arrived and the service was great. Seemed as though one man was managing the entire front of house but was managing it perfectly. Nobody was waiting too long for anything. Lovely greek music playing, with the bi-fold doors open for the breeze inside. We chose from the set menu. 2 courses for £15.90. The service was great and the food was even better. Some of the best stuffed vine leaves we have tried in Liverpool. Mains were quick, fresh and delicious. We couldn’t have asked for more and felt like it was worth way more than the set menu price of £15.90. The toilets were spotless, and the ladies had sanitary products inside the cubicle which I thought was a really lovely personal touch for anyone who needed them. Not something that you see even in the bigger change restaurants with a bigger budget. We were given a free taster of home made tiramisu whilst we waited for our final drinks and bill and it was amazing and such a lovely touch at the end of an amazing meal. We will be back again very soon and bringing along family and friends next time. Thank you for a lovely evening!

Visited on a Sunday and were able to choose from a set menu which was great value. Service was quick and food was good.

Best Greek restaurant in Liverpool by far. Staff is super kind and friendly, fair prices and food is just amazing, quality and quantity a 10 out of 10. I would recommend anyone to visit this restaurant.

It is a lovely place to spend your time with the family and enjoy good food and wonderful staff. Definitely we will go again.

Great service and delicious food we visited on a Sunday with family visiting us from out of town they were ver impressed, great atmosphere friendly and nothing too much trouble for them

Another nice night Lovely restaurant and the service is great I had the lambs liver beautifully cooked. Filled by the lamb chops excellent Also we had the moussaka Well worth a visit

Visited this restaurant for the first time last night with friends to celebrate a birthday. The restaurant is welcoming and tables are not too close together. The staff were very friendly and helpful. A great choice of food on the menu which was enjoyed by...

Really nice authentic Greek food. Loved the tzatziki! Really nice staff too

The most superb meal in a long time! The starters and main meals were perfect - beautifully cooked and presented. The service was impeccable and for £50 for the meal with 2 glasses of nice wine was superb. Highly recommended.

Sara the waitress was lovely and friendly. Hose wine isnt bad and food is decent enough and good value.

Came on a Thursday evening with my partner and were seated straight away despite not having a reservation. There were plenty of other people there so the atmosphere was nice, and the music was pleasant without being too loud. The food was great. We got their 2 courses for £16 offer and were impressed by how tasty everything was - we had the feta wrapped in filo, the dolmades, the moussaka and the ouzo chicken and shared it between the two of us. We also had a small carafe of house wine - probably worth opting for a more expensive bottle, but it did us nicely.

Really authentic Greek food and excellent service in a perfect location. Definitely recommend this place

Lovely atmosphere and very clean. Service was exceptional, and the food was fantastic. Lovely Greek menu with many options.

Would highly recommend this place - really great food, friendly and welcoming service, and brilliant value for money

Went there a couple of weeks ago. The owner George came over personally and welcomed us. This is a fantastic restaurant. Food and service second to none. Please go here.

Had a really lovely night. Will definitely return.

Friendly helpful staff. A bit busy when we first arrived, so there was a delay in ordering. Well worth the wait. Enjoyed the food.

Great dinner and friendly team, recommended

Food was good, service excellent but atmosphere was lacking as place was pretty much empty one Sunday lunchtime.

Charming family run restaurant. The Mezze is sooo good!

This was my first visit to this restaurant, and I was greatly impressed. Service was excellent, as was the food. Will definitely be returning in the near future.

Do not leave this place without ordering the baclava!!!!! Lovely small family run restaurant. Staff are great and really accommodating

This place deserves 5 start, its a traditional greek restaurant and the atmosphere here is very nice, the food It's amazing, they have a menu with plenty of dishes and options to choose from. The attention was very good and welcoming, I think is a family restaurant. We ordered the meze for 2 and it had 4 courses each, Its a lot to try and eat, we had chiken, lamb, shrimps, cheese, salad sausages, all was very fresh and tasty. I noticed that its a very clean place. We loved it, definetly worth coming back.

Very friendly environment serving traditional Greek/Cypriot dishes at very attractive prices.

Fantastic customer service and fab food to match!

Lovely atmosphere. Great with kids. Food is very good and staff are lovely.

This place is small and full of character, food is delicious, meat is cooked perfectly and staff is very friendly. One of my favourites in Liverpool

Very nice food, generous serving and friendly people.

Had a take out from this place, it is the best Greek Restaurant in Liverpool, food is unreal, Manager and staff are lovely, friendly and very professional. Also I bought gift vouchers as gifts for Family for Christmas. Take the time to pop in. Ree.

The best place for party.​​Friendly,good staff and the best food in liverpool.Thank you for the wonderful Greek food😊😊

Very busy as usual. Another great meal with meat ball starter and chicken kebabs to follow. A very nice atmosphere which enables you to have a conversation whilst dining. Busy but we were not rushed at all.

My first visit but certainly not my last ! The food was brilliant and the service was exceptional. I had a lovely evening.

Everything from the second we walked in was fantastic. Great atmosphere, great service, excellent food. Would highly recommend.

All 3 of us had a great experience

Dined in few other restaurants recently Greek , French and others, food and service poor. Returned again to this restaurant and had very enjoyable evening. Good qualty food and nice drinks selection. Attentive and friendly staff. Nice ambience.

Fabulous food and service, we will definitely return soon

Fantastic food, brilliant staff and excellent service! Highly recommended...

There was so much choice on the menu, I ended up getting quite a lot! But worth it. Very flavoursome. Food was ready to collect promptly.

Es la primera vez que hemos estado en un restaurante griego y no podría haber sido mejor. La comida buenísima, la música y la decoración de 10 y la amabilidad y simpatía del trabajador insuperable. Lo recomiendo muchísimo, especialmente los palitos de queso con masa filo.

Ate with friends and had a fabulous meal. Starters I had sardines and others shared pitta bread and hummus. Mains i had stifado and was so good - meat so tender. Everywhere very clean. Staff so friendly, Situated right in the heart of Allerton Road....

Great value and fantastic food. Meze was great and moussaka to die for!

Good service and wine but food bland and tasteless. My first time in a Greek restaurant but person I was with who has been to Greece said food was ok but bit tasteless

This was my first visit. I had a most enjoyable and relaxed evening with my husband sister and nephew. The owner was most welcoming and attentive. We all chose from the set menu, which has a great selection. The food was delicious and both nicely...

Loved it , great food , great atmosphere and great staff

had an amazing meal tonight. food was delicious and very reasonably priced

Great value 2 course meal. Food was excellent and enough for me ..am 6 2 and 260 lb

This is, without question, the best Greek restaurant we ever visited. The food is delicious and beautifully prepared, the restaurant is inviting, and both the proprietor and his staff made us feel like family. We had the stifado and the patio-kleftiko. It’s impossible to say which was best—both were intensely flavorful with melt-in-your-mouth tenderness. The dolmades were fresh and tasty. Also, the proprietor’s wife makes the desserts, and she is an absolute genius at her art. It’s worth a trip to Liverpool just to visit Lefteris, and we already are looking forward to our next visit from the USA.

Lefteris Greek taverna what can I say the most genuine people running an amazing restaurant ❤️the food is of the highest quality (you can tell by the taste ) the flavours are amazing subtle tangs mixed with explosive bangs of flavour perfectly executed dishes… a must try if your in the area and fancy a taste of authentic fresh Greek food and did I mention the staff and owners ❤️ don’t walk on by step inside and be transported to little Greece ❤️🧑🏻‍🍳😘

We had a fantastic time here. Gail, the waitress was extremely attentive to us. The vegetarian options were delightful (I tried the stuffed Vine leaves) and had the moussaka as the main. My friends said that their lamb was very soft and tender. They provided...

Had a great meal - great options for vegetarians Service from Gail was fantastic. Highly recommend to anyone.

Great food, value for money and nice atmosphere and staff. The ambience did make us feel we were on holiday in Greece!

Nice friendly atmosphere, good food brilliant price, definitely worth a vist ❤
