Stavros Greek Taverna in Plymouth

From the start the welcoming being greeted kindly and professional. Great service great food highly go again. Staff were friendly and made you feel comfortable on our evening.

Would highly recommend this restaurant, we had very good customer service, with hardly any waiting time, the food we all had was excellent, would definitely book again.thankyou.

We Visited on a Friday just by chance and we were pleasantly surprised. We had the pork suvlaki which was tender and juice with lovely rice. We also had the Musaka and the greek salad. Lusaka was cooked and seasoned to perfection. Atmosphere and music and staff was amazing we felt like we were transported to a small Greek island. Will definitely visit again

It was on the Barbican lights switch on so it was very busy outside the restaurant. However, the service was on time, food was delicious and well cooked. Also big portions. The atmosphere and interior is very unique as well.

Best of the best!!!! 6 of us on the table every meal was amazing! Would recommend for a great meal and fantastic wines... Staff were really friendly and helpful.. we had an amazing night.. thank you !!!

The dolmades, kleftikfo and complimentary dessert all delicious. The waiter and waitress were both brilliant hosts.

Service good. Food was mediocre.

Visited last night for my sons 21st birthday celebrations. Stavros is a must visit everyone we are in Plymouth. The staff really went beyond the call of duty to make the night very special, with a surprise cake and gift for the lad. We always have the mezze and absolutely love it. Thank you so much. 10/10.

I visited Greece this year and fell in love with the scenery, food and the atmosphere! You could definitely say I have been feeling the blues since coming home and visiting the Stavros lived up to filling this, from the music, to the service, to everything. I brought my daughter with me and a friend for some lunch and they were amazing with her, the menu was accommodating for a child of her age who only wants nuggets and chips.. I fancied a gyros which they didn’t serve, but nevertheless they recommended souvlaki and added some pitta and tzatziki and this was just as good! I’m not certain on the lady’s name that was working in the day on 29.09 but she was so lovely towards my daughter and let her help her around the restaurant and even went to the lengths of giving her some free ice cream! Thank you so much for the food, hospitality and showing care towards little ones, we will definitely be back.

Great to eat greek/ cypriot food at a reasonable price Friendly staff and freshly prepared food Nice atmosphere Recommend this place No frill no fuss

The girls worked very hard to ensure customers were served in good time and happy. Shame that the young man behind the bar couldn't get off his phone, not even to speak to a couple waiting to be served. Even after being told by one of the members of staff. Not sure he actually wanted to be working there.

We came back from Santorini the day before and needed more greek food! Stavros has the authentic Greek feel that we were looking for, but more importantly the food and drinks were excellent. Big portions and reasonably priced. We'll be coming back again soon. Thanks Nicholas for entertaining our toddler!

The food was flavourless I had the Kleftico. All I could taste was was pepper in the sauce. Served with rice and two roast potatoes which clearly hadn’t been roasted long. Husband had a mixed meat dish again no flavour on the meat Obviously wasn’t marinated. Starter Tzatziki which I could barely taste the cucumber and mint Wouldn’t go again though prices are reasonable

My favourite restaurant by the Barbican in Plymouth. Great atmosphere, fantastic food and wonderful staff. I had the lamb and it was so tender, fell right off the bone. Beautiful. Special thank you to Fatima, our main server, for making my birthday meal so wonderful. Talked through the menu for my brother who hadn't had Greek food before. Brought dessert with a candle for me and gave me the strong shots for our after meal drinks. Honestly such a sweet and lovely person, made my night even better. Thanks Stavros, I will be back soon!!

My Cypriot colleague and I needed somewhere to eat after a long day of work. We felt immediately at home and enjoyed a delicious meal with outstanding attentiveness by Fatima. Beautiful traditional tunes made us very happy.

Stumbled across this little restaurant whilst on holiday. Walking around on a damp dreary day. Decided to try their mini meze which was really lovely and such good value. The restaurant is very authentic and the staff helpful and friendly too. We will definitely return when we are next in Plymouth thank you ☺️

Lovely! Best Greek food I’ve had since Greece. Wish the desert menu was more extensive however! Well priced and good value.

Amazing food, servers were lovely and on the house cherry liqueur which was amazing! For our first time it was a lovely meal!

Just been in there had a steak chips with one mushroom have tomato half very slow would not go back

Excellent food good service. Only down side didn't realise a surcharge, was added to bill until later. Uncalled for.

Friendly , helpful staff , excellent food and definitely authentic Greek dishes . Would definitely recommend this restaurant and we will be back .

Lovely food such polite attentive waitresses and staff

The interior is really nice, very Greek and has cool art work around. But it was let down by the food and service. I had the Lamb Souvlaki and my partner had the Kalamari main. The Souvlaki was ok, though kind of bland and the ratio between actual meat and salad was a joke. You pay around £18 for 50% salad, 25% meat and 25% rice (as shown in picture attached). The kalamari is was decent, though overcooked a little so it was pretty tough chewing some pieces. It was also better as it was more kalamari than salad it seemed. The salad wasn’t terrible mind, it was very refreshing but just too much of it when considering the price you’re paying for these dishes, you’d expect more meat than salad. The service wasn’t great. We were seated and took over 10 minutes before anyone asked us for drinks. Our waitress who took our order was extremely quiet and we had to repeat everything we said twice. Normally I would say this was because the restaurant was loud but at this time it wasn’t at all. During the meals, nobody came and asked us if the food was ok at all. Then when it came to the bill, it took nearly 15 minutes after asking for it for them to bring it over. So overall just slow. So we personally wouldn’t be back unfortunately which is sad as this place could have so much potential and we have been wanting to try it out for years but we feel disappointed.

Very disappointing, never again. Moussaka was horrible and the worst i ever tried. Menu for 2(50£) not enough and quality of meat was disgusting. Food tasteless and really bad. We waited 1.5 hours for food.

the worst experience of our lives. everything was very slow, tasteless and the salad was half spoiled. we have been waiting for our dishes for more than an hour :(((

Great service!!!! Special thanks to Nikki and Efe

Very good meal. Clean taste and wholesome. Very helpful staff!

Very Wet & Windy. Pointed to This Direction. Lovely & Welcoming Woman. Front of House. Had Seat near Window. Picked Kioftethes Greek Meatballs in Herb Sauce. As a Starter. Delicious. Lovely Warm & Moorish Pitta Bread. Main was Lamb Souvlaki. Greek Salad. Rice. Good Mint Dip. Main Very Fine Too. When in Plymouth again. Will Return.

I visited on the 18/07 at lunch time and I'm so sorry I'm late ^ ^; Regardless, I cannot recommend this place highly enough! Absolutely love Stavros, the people are lovely and the food is amazing! Really lovely atmosphere, truly nothing bad to say about this place. Will be happy to visit again!

Fantastic good Greek Cypriot food. Definitely worth a visit.

Food wasn't great, dry chicken and not much of it, but the salad was good. What stood out was the complete indifference of the staff. They did seem young and inexperienced. There's another Greek restaurant up the road which I'll try rather than return here.

Most welcoming place in Barbican, little Greece in Plymouth. Mini mezze deals £11.90 , food obviously delicious!, and wine , but what makes it even better the service, thank you Fatima. And thank you for feeding me for 2 days Russel🤩🤩🤩

The four of us loved the food, the service was relaxed and friendly. Faultless for the meal and for value for money. We all ate the mezze and the quantity beat us all!!!

Great food, relaxed atmosphere, very nice and welcoming service. We spent an awesome evening at Stavros.

Visited Stavros for lunch, amazing deal of £11.90 pp for a mini meze, it was delicious, service was perfect, attentive and accommodating. Atmosphere was good as well with the music making you feel like you’re back in Greece!

I must say we travelled almost 5 hours and stopped at stavros taverna and the calamari was excellent cooked perfect and the best I've had since being In greece a must try

Amazing food service and atmosphere. Staff was incredibly hospitable. Meze and baklava the best we ever had. Fresh and delicious.

We had another lovely meal here. I had booked, requesting a specific table, which had been kept for us. All elements of our meal were delicious, including the wine and after dinner drinks. Will definitely be returning.

We wanted to eat delicious Greek food and passed Stavros. The service was very nice, but unfortunately our food was not convincing. The meat was hard and dry like the black olives. Only the tzatziki convinced us. We won't go back, it's a shame.

Mini meze was delicious and excellent value for money. Lovely waitress. The music made us feel like we were in Cyprus despite the poor weather outside.Right in the centre of the Barbican area.

Very nice place! Very good food and very nice service! For us in Plymouth number 1. Thank you

Such a lovely and friendly environment, the food was amazing and the service was great. I definitely recommend the tiramisu and baklava as a dessert.

Very disappointed. Small meze Very poor, no flavour and disgusting chewy sausage thing. Wine came open and brim full, certainly not a bottle of what we had ordered! Cheap but not cheerful service already added to bill. We are local but won't come again!!

Been 3 times now and each time we had something different, food is great. Good service too.

Went in for a late lunch and had the special mini maze option. Very good value and good food. Our waitress was in the building by herself but managed all tasks admirably. Will be back again thank you

The food was excellent as was the service. Very good location just off the marina.

Terrible food,cheap frozen rubbish,undrinkable wine(hard to believe I know)the restaurant was ok,one toilet for all.I sent back main order,which they did take off the bill and all of it was the cheapest ingredients,tasteless and disappointed.

Lovely fresh food, great service, atmosphere warm friendly and relaxed

Went here a while back for my brother’s birthday. They made us feel so special and looked after! Food was lovely but the highlight of the evening was the amazing service. They went above a beyond! The atmosphere was perfect!

Had a wonderful night of food, drink and laughter - mainly because Beatrice and Reg were such wonderful hosts. I hope we can see them again! :)

Good food and service. The price was before 5pm so a really good one. We both had spaghetti bolognese. It was tasty. Would go back again. And was enough to fill me till the next day.

Lovely relaxing atmosphere, is a authentic Greek restaurant, food was so tasty, the staff were friendly and attentive. I recommend this place.

Booked a table for 5 on the lads night out , all food was fresh and nicely done , we went for the 3 course meal and this was the best choice . Definitely recommend to anyone if you like or want to try Greek cuisine in Plymouth, in the nicely looking restaurant served by good trained and friendly staff.

Lovely little Greek restaurant, nice decor inside. Staff were friendly. Food was really good, all cooked fresh. Complimentary shot of some kind of drink after your meal was nice. Would return

Lovely friendly helpful staff. Food was excellent. Would definitely recommend this restaurant and we will be visiting again soon .

The Aphrodite wine very nice but not sure how authentic this food was. Greek salad use to excite me but nowadays a bit of lettuce and tomato next to a small pile of Feta seems to constitute a Greek salad, wasn't really impressed with the mixed meze either, Calamari also rubbery, I could go on...Stavros indeed 🤔

Enjoyed a lovely evening at Stavros. The food and cocktails were delicious, the chicken souvlaki and Moussaka in particular we’re really tasty. Great service and a lovely relaxed atmosphere.

Best Greek food service outstanding

Really enjoyed our meal on Saturday night at Stavros restaurant. Varied choice, sensible portions and tasty. Good value for money.

Lovely restaurant. Great food and great service. Many thanks.

Great atmosphere, great service and great food, it's all been said but this was super night out. Staff are very good and food superb. Overall a great night out, thank you.

Great food, lovely staff couldn't have enjoyed a better evening celebrating my friends birthday. Will definitely go again

Fantastic meal with friends - early dinner, yesterday. Don’t understand why this restaurant is so quiet. The food was amazing. I had dolmades and then stifado for main. The rice was the nicest I’ve had, very buttery and full of flavour. Friends meals were all great too. Will definitely go again!

Absolutely fabulous and tasty food.Great atmosphere which is so relaxing and cheerful from the moment you walk in.Highly recommend Meze-make sure you don't eat anything prior to coming in as portions are big😁Will be coming back soon.

The dining was lovely the food was amazing The staff were very friendly very welcoming the chef even came out to speak to us the galaktaborigon desert was the best I’ve had I’m looking forward to having a break away and coming here to eat again the restaurant was very clean and warm friendly staff

Service was excellent very clean and the food was fantastic we had Meze which was very filling. The restaurant was busy but the was no delay for our drinks or food

Little Greek taverna tucked away in a quiet little street. Fantastic location. There was a good menu choice. The starter was delicious 😋 but the main course (mixed kebab) was a bit tasteless. Shame. But on the whole the food was good. Chips were nice 🙂🙂🙂

Visited here for a lunch date in January. As expected on the barbican at that time of year we were the only customers. The Greek wine varafe was fabulous. We got a meze lunch deal which was excellent value. The food was pretty good, without being out of this world. The server was very good, read when we needed him without awkwardly hanging around, particularly important given we were the only table. The baklava for dessert was to die for. Cannot recommend that enough!! Overall a decent value lunch.

Excelent place for lunch and dinner, amazing food and friendly staff

Beautiful food, authentic atmosphere and a truly relaxed Greek feel, came here off the cuff for our Daughters 13th birthday there was something for everyone on the menu have been before and will return again soon

Had a cheeky couple of days in Plymouth and as we love Greek food decided to have dinner at Stavros. We had a starter of Tzatziki and warm pita bread which was lovely. I had the Stifado and my wife had the Kleftiko for mains. The food was excellent and came with both rice and potato. The meat was so tender. The staff are so lovely and attentive. Without doubt the best Greek meal I have had in the UK. Highly recommend

I loved this restaurant! We came as a large group including one in a wheelchair and they were very accommodating! The service was excellent and the decor was beautiful. We had the meze which was £25 per person. It was great value for money, there was so much food and the starters were amazing! Some of the starters you do not usually get given as part of a meze deal at other greek restaurants so we were very pleased! Lots of flavour and definitely fresh! Absolutely amazing tiramisu too! Thank you 😊

The Stavros restaurant has some tough competition on the Barbican but in my opinion is one of the best . Unlike some other establishments around you are not packed together and have plenty of space put this together with fabulous food great service and value for money this is the place to go to .

Food were delicious and fresh. Staff were friendly. Food arrived quickly

The food was delicious, fresh, and a super filling portion. We got the tzatziki and two chicken platters and the chicken was so juicy and flavourful. Everything was amazing and the service was great! Resul was so kind and offered some free liqueur and desert. The tiramisu was so light and not too sweet. The baklava was nutty and had such a deep complex flavour. I would definitely recommend this place as it completely exceeded my expectations.

Popped in on spec as had lovely food here before. Had the mini meze which was ample for two and we enjoyed it. The Merlot wasn't great but the usual overcharge for a cheap bottle. Disappointed with the baklava which should have been served with ice cream but wasn't. We had two small dollops of squirty cream and overall it was much too sweet as a result. Also overtipped because I didn't notice a 10% service charge was included so overall a very expensive afternoon meal.

Stopped in Plymouth for a night and wandered into the Barbican area for dinner. After looking at a few restaurants settled on this place and really glad we did. The food is great, nice large portions and very authentic. Recommended a caraf of house white to go with it which was a perfect match. Service friendly and professional. Can say anymore than that.

Lovely food, service and ambiance. Highly recommend this place and with pass on our experience to friends and family. The waiter was attentive but not pushy.xx

I very rarely review places but this needs a special mention. The food was delicious, very authentic and freshly cooked. The staff were very friendly and will absolutely return for more when we visit Plymouth again.

Spent ages wandering up and down the barbican looking for an interesting menu, and this place fit the bill. We ordered the "special meze" that comes with a warning: for the VERY hungry!!! And it is. It's huuuuge. The cold starters were interesting for someone...

Went there for dinner and were surprise by their amazing food and great service, highly recommended !

Great place and the food was exceptional!

Amazing service, very friendly and efficient waiter! Lovely environment. The food is authentic and delicious. We really enjoyed our meals, highly recommend everyone to try this restaurant :)

When we visited in September, we were pleasantly surprised to find a Greek restaurant across from our apartment. The service was great and the food delicious.

Perfect spot to celebrate a birthday - will visit again :) Delicious food, nicely presented with excellent and attentive service :)

6 of us went for an amazing meal. Waiter was amazing also the dessert was lovely. Would really recommend!

Had amazing evening, super friendly staff, couldn't do more for us, the food was excellent would definitely come back again

Absolutely lovely atmosphere, staff are incredibly welcoming and happy to seat walk ins on a busy Saturday. A brilliant evening. Food was incredible- we got a selection of the starters as it all sounded so appetising!! A proper taste of Greece!

Stavros was amazing!!! I cannot rate it highly enough! The waiting staff are so friendly and they even ran after me with the jumper I left behind! The food was incredible and the atmosphere is so friendly! Would 100% recommended to anyone in Plymouth!

Good food ,greek music ,and a really nice atmosphere, we will return for sure

We visited Plymouth for the day and had lunch at this restaurant. The staff were very friendly and the food was absolutely super. The atmosphere was great, the music Greek and it brought back memories of holidaying in Crete. We would recommend this restaurant for...

Tasty meals and portions are fairly big. A nice variety of options to choose from and friendly staff. Definitely recommend.
