Souvlaki Restaurant and Bar in Leeds

The restaurant felt very authentically Greek which I loved and the service was great. You could tell all the food was fresh and it all tasted lovely. My only recommendations would be cushions for the chairs as they are so hard! The toilet wasn’t particularly nice either. I would definitely go again for dinner, close to the city centre whilst staying away from the rowdy bars!

Literally came out of this place in last hour and we can say it's absolutely amazing, the food was delicious the staff very helpful and friendly. The staff can't do enough for you and go out of their way to make sure everything is just perfect. We are from blackburn but definitely will come back specially to dine here again.

Was wandering by early on Saturday evening looking for somewhere to eat and found this place, and very good it was too. Excellent food, good and prompt service and a nice atmosphere in the restaurant. One to come back to next time I am in Leeds

Family booked outdoor catering for their wedding 8 tables took more than an hour to be served each course, which was awkward to say the least Chicken souvlaki had to be returned twice - cold the first time and raw the second Very disappointing

Gorgeous little authentic restaurant near Millenium square. Really helpful honest staff. Excellent service and delicious food.

Favourite dinner spot in leeds. Anaother fab meal tonight, 10/10 service from Nicholas, we will be returning for more asap. Easy 5 stars

Great find close to our concert venue (First Direct Arena) 👏 with terrific food from an authentic menu, and swift, friendly service.

Really enjoyed our visit to Tavernaki. The staff are really friendly , welcoming and helpful. The food was delicious. Would definitely recommend

Fresh tasty food. Helpful, friendly staff. Prawn starter was delicious. Popped in for pre-gig food. Would definitely visit again.

I visited with my daughter early on a Saturday evening. The food was absolutely fantastic and the service was excellent. A lovely place to eat in Leeds!

Needed somewhere close to the Light before a film. Friendly place, small local business. Food was good, freshly cooked.

Everything we ate here was absolutely delicious. The flavours were amazing and the staff super helpful. Able to accommodate vegans with no problem and thoroughly recommend

This was our first visit to Tavernaki and it certainly won’t be our last! From start to finish, the entire experience was 100% spot on. We were greeted by lovely staff who made us feel at home. The food was absolutely beautiful and did not disappoint! The atmosphere added to the enjoyment of the evening, it’s such a lovely place and you can see the care and commitment that has gone into this business. Thank you too all at Tavernaki for such a lovely evening. We will see you all soon!

Absolutely delightful experience at Tavernaki in Leeds! From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality. The ambiance was charming, setting the perfect tone for our evening. The menu offered a tantalizing array of authentic Greek dishes, each bursting with flavor and expertly prepared. Our server was knowledgeable and attentive, enhancing our dining experience. Every dish we tried exceeded our expectations, from the succulent souvlaki to the heavenly baklava for dessert. The attention to detail and commitment to quality truly set Tavernaki apart. We left feeling thoroughly satisfied and already planning our next visit. Without a doubt, Tavernaki earns a well-deserved 5-star rating for delivering an exceptional dining experience.

Amazing! I've been many times with my friends at the restaurant. It has a lovely atmosphere that truly makes you feel like you're in Greece. Being Greek Cypriot myself, I love going because it reminds me of back home. The food is always fresh and delicious, and the staff is very friendly. I'll definitely keep going back!

Great atmosphere for Greek food in the centre of Leeds! Special favourites were the kolokythokeftedes and the feta saganaki. The atmosphere reminds me of a small Greek/Cypriot taverna with lovely Greek music. The service is fast, and the staff are efficient and polite - and the food is fantastic. Being a veggie, I often have the halloumi Kebab and then baklava! Go on a special date, with friends or even on your own for a Greek night.

Well, I don't know where to start. First impression was good, nice deco for a Greek restaurant. While we were ordering as I always do I asked the waiter where he was from, he said Poland, I said any Greek in the restaurant? no. The kitchen staff all from Zimbabwe ? Chef had no idea about Greek cousine, non of the recipes was Greek, all was reheated in the microwave and the sauces ready made. I had that feeling the food will be crap 💩, I was right! Starters arrived, kolokithokephethes, basically vegetable paties, that was raw mixed vegetables trying to look like ball. The other dish was baked red pepper with feta cheese filled... raw . I ordered stuffed vegetables, if you been in greece you know what it is . Dish arrived, a massive tomato in the middle of the plate filled with tasteless rice, peas and mushrooms....mushrooms!!!!! Where did you find this recipe? Please tell me. Well that's me done. As a Greek cook I was disappointed that some people give that bad reputation to Greek cousine, and even more disappointed people leave reviews that the food was really authentic when they never been in Greece? I will not return.

What an insult to Greek Cuisine! Had starters and mains here, the food is Undercooked, tasteless and whats more insulting is the ridiculous price tag! just cannot find the words to express the disappointment.... absolutely shocking.....

Great food, especially Kleftiko and moussaka, friendly service. Wine wasn’t my taste but that might be poor choice on my part

1.Food wasn't great and we were rather disappointed. 2.They served the wrong wine as per photo,not the one advertised and selected.The wine was fine but that's not the point. 3.Overall we had are hopes up since we did like the atmosphere but left disappointed.

Came to this restaurant for my birthday. The food was delicious, service was fab and I even got a treat for my birthday! Would definitely recommend - will be going back! X

Great was delicious. Everything was fresh and tasty. The service was nice and fast. Perfect localization.

Awesome experience - food was great (moussaka was wonderful). The staff were extremely friendly and the setting of the restaurant was excellent - full of pictures/taverna style visuals. All made for a very authentic dining experience. Incredibly minor, but slightly more dessert choice would be the icing on the cake.

Great food and service, prices reasonable and portions good. The wine was good and great location almost next to Carriageworks theatre

Very warm welcome very friendly place excellent atmosphere and excellent food served quickly freshly cooked can see your food been prepared. Staff all very good they made the evening very pleasant I can recommend a visit 100% only a small place so book in advance...

An excellent place, authentic and great food. Atmosphere is traditional and staff are attentive. I would recommend this for friend and family’s and for couples on a romantic night out. Highly recommend.

Spent a couple of days in Leeds and passed this restaurant and decided to eat here. Really enjoyed the food and the chips were just how I like them, crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside. My Mousaka was very tasty. Finished off...

My friends and I were expecting great things after all we had read about this place, but were sadly very disappointed. Confusingly, both the pork and chicken souvlaki on the menu are advertised as coming with chips, pita and tzatziki, whereas the halloumi souvlaki isn't....

We had a impromptu visit to Leeds and decided to get lunch. We fancied Greek so came here. I have to say it was great service and the food was lovely. We had a couple of fish starters and a main each and it was...

Greeted with a friendly welcome then continued great service from all the staff. The food portions were generous and delicious, the meat as cooked perfectly! Will definitely return, thank you!

Incredibly helpful staff but food very slow to come - almost an hour. Food quality average - I mean nothing unpleasant but found the food largely quite bland. Little details like bland little side salads on plates, salads not chilled, dry chips with no dip,...

The only thing that topped the delicious food was the amazing hospitality. Would highly recommend.

Fabulous meal here. I recommend the moussaka & hummus. Very tasty. Baklava to die for. My feta cheese rolls were a little underdone but not inedible. Hopefully a one off 🙏 Hubby's pork souvlaki a little on the dry side but flavoursome. Wasn't too busy...

We have eaten here several times over the last 3 week. The staff are friendly and the service is professional. The food is always delicious!! A big shout out to Elliot who stepped in when the boss was ill. YAMAS !! We definitely recommend this...

Gorgeous little find. Service and food were brilliant. Felt like we were on holiday! Fit us in at shirt notice for a pre-theatre dinner. Will definitely return when back in Leeds

A lovely restaurant which has a real feeling of a Greek taverna complete with traditional music. We enjoyed the food and service both of which were very good and made for a pleasant evening 😀

Visited with friends on a Saturday night. A great location with friendly service and fab food. Had the sea bass which was incredibly cooked Maybe the wine could have been better…

First time at this restaurant. Very authentic feel. A really special place. The staff were all So friendly. Treated us like friends. The food was also amazing and reasonably priced.

We enjoyed eating here so much we came back the following night. There is an array of vegetarian starters. We ordered six dishes to share - the portions were larger than one would expect to see in a tapas restaurant. All six dishes were splendid....

From start to finish, the staff were incredibly polite, professional and welcoming. The food was served promptly and without a doubt some of the most delicious Greek food I’ve ever had. The atmosphere is lovely, a more personal environment due to a small room with...

Visited here with work friends and loved it. The service was great and the staff very friendly/accommodating. I had the meat platter which was absolutely beautiful. Meat platter for 2 was 50 GBP and there was plenty of food. Would recommend and would visit again!

Been to the Carriageworks for a production conducted by the Lad. He had another performance, so we split for dinner. Booked here, arrived a little early to a packed restaurant, they fit us in without a fuss. Service was at a perfect pace, no rush,...

What a absolutely gem. I love Greek food and couldn’t find any Greek restaurant in Leeds city Center until now. Very relaxed atmosphere, very authentic Greek food. Really recommending chicken tigania. Definitely will be back.:)

Excellent atmosphere, service, food and drink. The meals were delicious, the wine was beautiful and the brandy delightful. Compliments to the chef and our waiter/ host. This is not the first time we have eaten here-and recommend its intimate surroundings. A hidden jewel.

We live in Leeds and I don't know why we haven't been here before. The interior is cosy and welcoming and the music isn't too loud. We were delighted to find a great choice of veggie dishes on the menu. The portions were huge and...

My husband and I were in Leeds for the night, to see Richard Ashcroft at Millenium Square. It was a beautiful sunny Saturday and we fancied having Greek food for Lunch. We googled places to go, and found this little gem. Staff were lovely, it...

Good meal for 2 here last night. Didn't read the reviews until now but our experience was good. We had the platter for 2 which was hot and tasty. We enjoyed everything we had. No complaints so give it a go.

Celebratory meal booked for 2, Saturday night at 8. Booked weeks in advance. Turned up to discover the whole restaurant was booked for a wedding reception. They confirmed they did have my reservation - they just had not been bothered to cancel it or let...

We were hopeful this little greek taverna would be a lucky find, but were unfortunately disappointed. Essentially, this is a 'heat it up' from the freezer restaurant. The food is exceptionally bland and over priced. Cocktails run in a similar vain. If you love the...

Went here pre covid and it was okay then but was very disappointed on a recent visit. Starters were passable but it’s hard to mess up grilled halloumi. Main course of Stifado was awful, nothing like the delicious meal I’ve eaten in Greece.

Food was lovely however I just felt it was very overpriced for the portion size. £16 for chicken and chips. Gluten free was available just without the pitta bread. Service was okay. Wouldn’t rush back, food was good however

I love this restaurant so much. The food is INCREDIBLE, the atmosphere is amazing, and the staff are wonderful! I’ve been there twice now, and i will definitely be going back many more times. Everything on the menu is brilliant, but I especially recommend the...

Just last night had the most amazing food at Tavernaki Greek restaurant right in the city centre of leeds. The prawn saganaki was velvet their chicken souvlaki was succulent and the staff were excellent polite and professional. I also met the owner there such a...

Very disappointing after waiting a while to be served we selected Moussaka to informed none left this was 6pm. Then we both opted for lamb kleftiko to be informed only one left. I opted for lamb chops. Both meals disappointing- lamb chops very dry and hard , Garlic bread was hard over cooked more akin to a crisp bread. lamb kloftiko joint very fatty and in a watery soup. We had starters which to be fair were OK . Two drinks each, two starters , two mains, two sides £90 including 10% service charge. Not the same experience we had before lockdown. In our opinion very poor, two main items on menu not available at 6pm? poor main courses and over priced

We visited the tavernaki bistro after seeing good reviews about bottomless brunch. My boyfriend booked through their website - going into ‘bottomless brunch’ and selecting the date. We were told if we didn’t turn up it would be £40 fee. When we arrived we were told they don’t do bottomless brunch on a Saturday, only on certain days. So of course, we were disappointed. We mentioned the fact that the website has allowed us to book the bottomless brunch for a saturday and how this had happened? The waiter/server didn’t seem to understand what we were saying and just once again, a little rudely, said ‘we don’t do bottomless brunch on Saturdays’. We decided to stay for food as it was now 2pm. We ordered drinks. I was looking forward to a cocktail so chose the mojito. It was £9 so I expected something nice. When it arrived it looked like pond water. It tasted of the water that you get when your ice cubes had melted with a hint of lemon. Not a mojito by any standards. I wondered if I was being picky so asked my friends to taste too. All of them said it wasn’t very nice and did not taste of anything alcoholic. I decided to ask for another drink. I wasn’t necessarily expecting my money back however I walked over to the waiter at the bar (same man as before) and said ‘could I have a different drink please, this one doesn’t taste very nice.’ He looked confused and said what is it? I said it’s a mojito but it tastes like water with lemon. He said well I can get you another drink but you will have to pay for that one. I didn’t really know what to say to that apart from ok. I then said this tasted like it didn’t have any alcohol in it. He said it had two shots. I disagreed. I went to give it him back and he said to put it back on my table (as I was still going to pay for it) and he would get me the beer I wanted. He brought the beer over a few minutes later.I have no complaints about the food. It was lovely. Expected not great after the drink but it was very tasty. When we paid we had a different server who was more polite and helpful. The drink was still on the table and myself and my friend decided to mention it once more (we really thought £9 cocktails should be better than that!). This server said they do the cocktails like they would in Greece. I said that’s fair however this one tastes as though there’s no alcohol in it, just water (possibly tonic) and lemon. He then said that if we had had the Prosecco one we would have taken this back as that one is very strong! We laughed and said this one is the opposite! He looked at the drink as though to agree as it did not look appealing. I asked for him to try some when he had the chance and he said he would, and that he would also inform his manger. Food great. Cocktails and service - BAD. Picture of the cocktail below. Also - glass had tide marks around it - again - maybe for a cheap cocktail but for this price? No thanks!

Superb food, brilliant staff and a great vibe in the restaurant. Our booking was early Eve but by the time we left the e place was full and a great atmosphere

Me and my partner were really looking forward to dining at Tavernaki as we loved the look of the restaurant and saw some good reviews. However the whole dining experience really didn’t live up to expectation.Upon arrival we were seated in a little booth away from the other guests inside what was the kitchen/ bar & staff area (The kitchen, bar & clearing bins were literally 6ft away from our seat). The booth just seemed out of place and quite random with it being the only seat within this area of the restaurant. At first we tried to be optimistic and thought it was quite cosy with it being our own small booth away from the loud main restaurant area, however we were unfortunately wrong as the evening progressed. The area was really busy and noisy as all the staff congregated by the pass of the kitchen and the bar (which was right near our table). Paired with the noise of the clearing of plates, bottles been thrown into the bottle bin plus the loud communication amongst the staff was really off putting and unpleasant whilst trying to enjoy a nice evening.I felt really uneasy and like I couldn’t string a sentence together and enjoy a meal with my partner as there was so much going on & noise- not relaxing and enjoyable at all. I’d really recommend asking to sit in the main area of the restaurant or ask to be moved if you’re seated in the booth. I believe this area isn’t fit for paying customers. The food and cocktails were okay, however I thought it was overpriced for what we received. The halloumi was very simple- lightly grilled- no sauce or side. I had the Peppers which were okay however the rice was a little stodgy and the general taste was just bland. The cocktails were disappointing too as they came in warm glasses with no ice and again not much flavour.I feel the price wasn’t a true reflection of the food, cocktails and experience. The evening in general wasn’t enjoyable when considering everything with all the noise, seating and general service as well as the standard of the food. Therefore we won’t be returning to Tavernaki, as I left feeling frustrated, ripped off, dissatisfied and disappointed with our experience. I don’t normally like writing reviews however if we were asked on the night how everything was, whether w enjoyed our meal etc I probably would have mentioned something there and then but we weren’t. In addition as the days have passed I’ve felt more frustrated about our experience and feel like it would be beneficial for your business to leave this review.

As a Greek Cypriot, I was appalled at the so called ‘moussaka’, lacking any form of tomatoes. No flavour to the food at all, lacked the heartiness behind true Greek cuisine. Can only imagine the good reviews come from people who haven’t tried Greek food before. In desperate need of redoing, it’s not good enough.

I booked Tavernaki as a good place to catch up with my daughter and sister for lunch. It was empty on arrival of our 1pm Sunday booking. We shared starters. The haloumi, loukaniko sausage and the tzatzik. All were lovely. My only criticism would be that they are very small portions for the price. Not cheap at £8 and £6 for the tzatziki. For main we had souvlaki, 2 Chicken and 1 pork. Again they were lovely but quite dear I felt at £16 which I guess is a reflection of Leeds prices. We shared a bottle of rose, reasonably priced at £21.95 and my daughter had an Aphrodite’s kiss cocktail. This was way too strong and again somewhat overpriced at £9. We had a lovely time but the restaurant was virtually empty. I think it’s quite overpriced and would benefit from some offers or specials to get more people in. I also think the atmosphere would be better perhaps on an evening. The bill came to £111 with the service charged added which is quite dear for a lunch for 3. Leeds has so many good places but not many Greek places so if it’s your thing, then definitely give it a try.

Top notch food Sides were all tasty especially the chips . Deserts are a must , don’t leave without 1 Beer was good and the shots even better Lovely surroundings, so very Greek Very friendly and attentive staff Elliot the chef went above & beyond to make us feel very welcome

Had the pleasure to try Tavernaki's new Bottomless Dinner. Greek food is my favourite and I tried Haloumi Soulvaki dish with some Tzatziki. It was beautifully prepared with a good balance of Halloumi, salad, fried vegetables and gorgeous fries seasoned to perfection. I also tried a cocktail Aphrodite's Kiss which did not survive long as it was too yummy! However, I was not thirsty for long as I thought I will also try some prosecco and some vodka with Cranberry. Overall, I thought it was such a goood value for money as it all costs only £30. Definitely recommend and will be back for more Haloumi Souvlaki action!

Had a great time here Friday night... popped in on the off-chance they had a table for two available, and was soooo impressed with the service and the food. Our waiter, Aris, was the only one working all the tables, and he did a brilliant job throughout... I was spoilt for choice and could have easily ordered 75% of the menu if we'd had the time and money. And they have Keo beer, which kinda sealed the deal for me. Great venue. Great food.

The best meal we had in Leeds. Wonderful food, super nice place, friendly staff and the energy of the restaurant is just perfect. More than I recommend, it is mandatory to know and taste the food and wine.

We visited Tavernaki after getting married around the corner at the Civic Hall and they went out of their way to make our experience special - fancy seat covers on our table and a complimentary glass of prosecco for all our guests on arrival were very much appreciated. They even sorted out a makeshift vase of water for my wife's bouquet. Food and drink was excellent and we really enjoyed our post-wedding celebrations. Thank you so much, Kevin and Hannah :-)

Lovely restaurant with a nice atmosphere but food is poor quality and food and drinks are expensive for what is offered. Won’t be returning ever.

we took our daughter out for tea here while visiting her at university. The food service and atmosphere was superb.... but it was a tad pricey.

Dined here for the first time with friends in the evening. Excellent all round. Had Tzatziki for starter and Beef Stifado. Will come back here in the future.

Very charming and warm welcome to this small restaurant. Although a bit quiet as England were playing in the euros, our meal was delicious, efficient service and a very friendly waitress. A really enjoyable evening and a lovely first visit to Leeds.

This place has been our favourite Greek in Leeds for years but, after this visit, we're not in a rush to go back any time soon. The food was bland and unseasoned. The Greek salad looked like a salad you get out of a bag from the supermarket. It was a really disappointing experience.

Party of 6 running late (but we did ring ahead); arrived and our table not ready so we squeezed into a space for a drink to wait - a good solution. But no offere of a drink came and then then the table became free. Long wait for our drinks order and we were ready to order everything at the same time as a result. We were the last sitting so advised we could relax..... Sat on a table near the window so nice experience but music way to loud (and we like loud music). Food was ok - not as remembered so left us feeling a bit disappointed as we had 'bigged' up this restaurant to our friends who were with us. Toilets BTW have never been great .... and still not so. Our waiter was a positive guy and helpful but the overall service and food not the best; also seemed like the price of all the mains were higher than remembers £16+.

We called in without booking at 5.30pm on a busy Saturday afternoon. They found a table for us but did warn us it was booked for 7pm. The manager was lovely. He helped us choose the wine which was excellent and chatted with us about Cyprus where we used to live and he has family connections. Food was great. We chose lots of starters as we wanted a sharing mezze rather than a big meal each. Really enjoyed the atmosphere with a window seat, open windows and sunshine. Will definitely go back.

Went in for a birthday dinner, food n service did not disappoint. Will definitely recommend it 😊 plus huge selection of wine. It’s cosy n clean too

I popped into Tavernaki as it is over the road from my work where I met Yanis, he was so friendly and showed me the menu and I came back a few days later with my boyfriend for date night! Yanis was working and recognised me and was really lovely and friendly. We ordered starters mains and desserts and all were so beautifully cooked and came out very quickly! The kitchen was in view so you could see everything being made fresh which was nice. My fave part of the meal was definitely the feta sakanaki on the starters, it was honestly one of the best things I’ve tasted!! We also ordered beer and wine and the bill was extremely reasonable considering we ordered so much! The restaurant was beautifully decorated, perfect for a date location but would also be lovely for groups. I know I’m definitely going to be coming back. :-)There was also a girl doing her first shift as a waitress on our visit, I didn’t catch her name but she was lovely and very efficient! Thank you!

Had a lovely meal here with 4 other family members.Staff were very friendly and attentive. Loved the decor. The food was absolutely divine, we all enjoyed everything we had (starters: dolmadas, tirokafteri, loukaninko sausage, feta saganaki, mains: stifadox3, kleftiko, souvlaki, desserts: baklava, orange semolina cake, kostmos).Would highly recommend.

I have wanted to try it for ages and went yesterday. I would say for me while we cant get away this definitely gets you close. A big thank you to the staff from the minute we arrived we felt really welcome and relaxed just as you would in Greece. Lovely decor, and really good food the Calamari was perfectly cooked and just a light coating good sized Prawns in the Saganaki really taste Pork Souvlaki and Greek Salad and 1 of my all time fav desserts Baklava did not disappoint

We enjoyed a lovely meal here just after Lockdown lifted. Staff friendly, and eager to please. The food was authentic and delicious.

Had a really nice takeaway from here last night. Had a few meals from here during lockdown and never been disappointed. Looking forward to actually eating in the restaurant when we can.

Elegimos Tavernaki en el último minuto para la comida de cumpleaños de mi pareja, ya que viajábamos a Leeds para el fin de semana. Ambos hemos vivido en Grecia y nos encanta la cocina griega, por lo que fue una elección fácil.Honestamente puedo decir que toda la experiencia fue 10/10. La decoración es estereotípicamente griega, pero también con un toque moderno y muy limpia. La música es tradicional e hizo el ambiente.La comida en sí nos sorprendió, ¡estaba tan rica! ! ! ! ! ! ! Era griego con un ambiente a la carta, muy bien sazonado y presentado de manera hermosa. Todo estaba cocinado a la perfección.Teníamos el entrante Halloumi y el entrante Humous y los compartimos. Luego ambos tuvimos el cerdo Souvlaki como platos principales. ¡No me puedo quejar de nada! ! ! !El servicio fue excelente (soy grande en el servicio y generalmente baso mi experiencia en esto, mal jajaja) el personal fue educado y atento y se rió con nosotros. Nos hizo sentir relajados.Con respecto a las medidas de Covid, no se preocupe. Todo estaba limpio, las temperaturas tomadas en la puerta, las pruebas y el rastreo en su lugar, el personal usaba máscaras en todo momento.Recomendar a cualquiera si le gusta la comida griega :)

la comida era increíble, desde el primer plato hasta el plato principal estaba perfectamente delicioso. La atención fue maravillosa, la camarera fue super amable y simpática y el chef prepara la mejor comida griega en Leeds. Gracias por todo el servicio Tiegan y Milito. ¡Totalmente recomendable!

Se sintió vulnerable al covid debido a la falta de precauciones básicas. El personal no usa máscaras, las mesas están demasiado cerca y la música está muy alta, lo que significa que tiene que hablar en voz alta. Vergüenza como comida bastante buena. Estoy seguro de que con el aumento de casos en Leeds, el restaurante mejorará la situación.

Vine aquí en una cita y el restaurante era un entorno encantador. La decoración era muy bonita y el personal era muy servicial.Los entrantes eran encantadores y era suficiente, teníamos el tzatziki y un plato de pastelería filo feta dulce, que era divino. Los platos principales tuvimos el moussaka y el souvlaki halloumi, que estaban bien presentados y sabían muy bien. La moussaka fue la mejor que he probado en mi vida.Definitivamente vendría aquí de nuevo y se lo recomendaría a cualquiera que venga aquí. Lugar muy bonito.

good service food was delish..... will deffo return on our next trip to leeds...we had the platter and shared ....so much food lol

Comenzaré con lo positivo, el servicio fue rápido y los camareros amables, pero ahí es donde termina.Bebidas 2. 50 por 3/4 de vaso de cola barata es un poco excesivo. Menos de 8 oz.ComidaMuy normalito pero esperaba más por los precios. Los entrantes son muy limitados. Se agotan algunas comidas principales a las 7 pm.Rice fue impactante. Recocido, bajo una papilla sazonada. Las patatas asadas están congeladas, lo que es imperdonable al pagar 3. 95 y promocionando la auténtica comida griega. Chef perezoso.La guarnición de la ensalada consistía en un viejo iceberg triturado empapado en orégano seco. Nada más. Supongo que se habían quedado sin tomates / pepino / cebolla roja, etc.Solo un postre para elegir. Baklava, que está bien, pero 5. 25 más 2 extra por helado barato era muy caro. (Sin helado de vainilla)La facturaLlega la cuenta. 5% de IVA agregado sobre los precios del menú y 10% de cargo por servicio.Luego descubrí que cobraban extra por postre para helado.No es la mejor experiencia y hay muchos mejores restaurantes griegos alrededor.Realmente es una pena porque hay mucho potencial.No lo recomendaría

Phoned up at 6p.m. on the off chance of a table and was fitted in immediately. Food was good as it has been when I have been here before. Very nice evening.

Love this place. Excellent food and friendly service. Can’t recommend enough! Great for a family meal out

¡Realmente decepcionado! ! Demasiado caro. La comida es mala y no tiene calidad. ¡Pagamos 23 cada uno por un plato para compartir! ¿Qué tenemos? Cerdo, Cordero y Pollo recocido sin sabor. Las gambas y los calamares comenzados están congelados. No hay distancia social entre las mesas y el baño es un desastre. ¡Nunca vuelvas!

Visité este restaurante por primera vez este año desde el año pasado. Servicio muy amable y eficiente. El primer plato fue increíble, seguido del plato principal. ¡El saganaki de gambas estaba delicioso! Me impresionó mucho ver que se seguían las pautas de distanciamiento social y me sentí seguro en el restaurante. Encantador restaurante, ¡definitivamente volveré a visitar pronto con mi fiesta! xx

Things didn't start too well when there seemed to be confusion about our table booking. Blank faces and a slight sense of panic about us arriving. Fortunately a table was avaliable. The fact you have to turn sideways to get past other tables tells you everything you need to know about social distancing, it was non existent. It it then took 45 minutes to be served drinks after eventually having to be asked to be served.We ordered food at the same time as drinks worried we might be waiting a similar time before service came back. Food very average. Prawn Saganaki more like a soggy soup and the Feta Saganaki just strange, the cinnamon did not go at all. The redeeming starter was the Greek sausage, however it's pretty difficult to mess up cooking a sausage. Mains were ok, lamb chops rather dry though and not in a Greek BBQ kind of way, dry as even the fat had dried up. Still tasted ok when covered in Tsatsiki.The toilet situation was a bit ridiculous. A unisex toilet one in one out. This in itself is not unheard of however having a note on the door saying lock broken, knock and wait was unforgivable. It takes 2 seconds to fit a sliding lock from B&Q, incredible. Overall was a bit of a shambles. I didn't want to pay the COMPULSARY 10% SERVICE CHARGE, however the rest of the party didn't want the awkwardness so was overruled. Sorry to say wouldn't rush back in a hurry.

Lovely restaurant. Excellent service. Three of us. All had three courses. Other than the hummus which was a little on the bland side and appeared to be covered in mushy peas the food was gorgeous. Recommended.

Lovely family run restaurant who made us feel very welcome. Prawns were fantastic and plump. Will come back again if we are in Leeds !

Members of staff are polite and friendly at all times. The food is of the highest quality and is definitely value for money. The atmosphere and ambiance is perfect for couples and families alike. I will most definitely be visiting again soon. KN

Decided to try something new for the anniversary, was not disappointed. The food was all of an extremely high quality, from starter to the dessert. The service was quick and friendly. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Leeds City Centre.

Myself and my husband were very much looking forward to our meal at the Tavernaki. The service when we arrived was friendly and attentive. However unfortunately they are the only positives we can take from the night. We were seated for 07:30, and ordered starters and mains. We watched many tables get their food before us, however given the current circumstances we ordered another drink and decided to give them the benefit of the doubt. However at 9:00pm we were brought our mains , having not been brought our starters.. and so decided to leave the restaurant. We cannot therefor comment on the food, only give a frank description of our experience at this restaurant.

We absolutely loved our food, we got the set Meze each. They asked if we wanted more of anything, and we did! The tzatziki and all the meat was super...thank you!

Delicious food. Lovely relaxed and intimate atmosphere. Great service and friendly staff. Will be back again.

We ordered the platter for 2 from Deliveroo and were not disappointed! Loads of food for 2... everything so tasty, especially the lamb chops, tzatziki and potato wedges. We were incredibly happy and ate the whole thing! 😊🤤

We were married in Limossal Cyprus in 2010. For our 10th Anniversary I wanted something traditional and special and we loved the traditional Meze when we were in Cyprus, we always expected it to be difficult to find traditional Meze back in the uk, many are family recipes and local produce and therefore we have not sought one since. I decided for our anniversary it was something we should try and Wow have we been missing out by holding back. Obviously due to lockdown it’s tough to find great food to bring home but at Tavernaki they created for us a perfect traditional Greek/Cypriot Meze they talked through the food they could provide and created an absolutely amazing meal for me and my Wife. Great food and sat in the garden in the sunshine on a warm summer evening was as close to being back in Cyrus as we could get. The food was top class and so so much of it we will be having it again this evening (day after) you won’t find better quality as this is as good as anything you will get on the island itself. Thanks to the team at Tavernaki for making our special 10th Anniversary so complete with such great food and of course the traditional KEO. AMAZING and we will 100% be back again. This may even become an anniversary treat every year now it was that good.

We ordered a takeaway last night and the food was amazing! We had the £30 Meat Poikilia platter for 2 was supposed to come with pork and chicken souvlaki, lamb chops, greek sausage, potato wedges, rice, chips, greek salad pitta bread and tzatziki. When we ordered we were told they were out of chicken, (we did order pretty late so understandable) however they could instead give us extra pork, lamb chops and greek sausage which we actually preferred! The collection process was really easy and the food was well packaged with hot and cold items separated into different bags. When we got home after 15 minute drive the food was still piping and as fresh as if it had been cooked and plated there and then. When we finally unpacked all the separate items from their bags we were greeted with a greek feast. It fed 3 of us amply and the quality of the food was great. My favourites items were the greek sausage and the best tzatziki I've ever had outside of Greece! In fact if the whole feast was made up of the sausage I would have been happy! Cant wait to be able to visit here with friends after the lockdown and try one of their mezes!

we had a gift voucher from a relative for here so with us both into greek food we booked in for early doors mealOverhaul greeted well small area to eat cosy id say you can see the chefs cooking in the the seated area.we ordered starter that was nice and mains we couldnt fault infact id put it the excelent catergory .. took coffee afterwards.seems popular plenty coming in whilst we was there from 18:00 until 19:30.Just one gripe per reviews there is no mention on the vat service charge added when your presented with the bill.would we go again ? possiblly yes

We arrived and were greeted by a lovely young lad, we moved tables at the beginning as it was cold but this was no issue for them, the food was amazing, service would be 6 stars if optional, especially the younger waiter who served us tonight, thankyou for making it a great evening
