Stavros Greek Taverna in Plymouth

Looking for somewhere to eat in Plymouth and found this Greek restaurant by chance. We were really impressed by both the food and the service. There were several diners in but only one waitress who did an absolutely excellent job and was friendly and efficient. The mini meze was good value and very tasty. Would definitely recommend.

Nice discovery this Greek-Cypriot restaurant! Typical Greek menu, everything very good I must say! Fair prices.

Had my daughters meal here for her birthday. It was a lovley meal.the staff and service excellent.they made the evening really special.

Absolutely amazing food and service. It was my sisters birthday, and they were amazing. Thank you so much, and definitely coming again.

Absolutely delicious Green always goes well.

We booked for a Sunday lunchtime. The restaurant was quiet only a few people in. But the food was nice and the service was polite. We never felt rushed which was lovely. We will return.

Have only been to Stavros a couple of times, but have never been disappointed. Good value for money. Next time we are in Plymouth will definitely pay another visit.

AMAZING! Best restaurant in Plymouth! Deffo deffo go !

Stavros Greek Restaurant in Plymouth is an absolute delight! The ambiance is warm and welcoming, making it a perfect spot for a cozy dinner or a fun night out with friends. The staff are friendly and attentive, ensuring a pleasant dining experience from start to finish. The menu offers a wonderful selection of authentic Greek dishes that are beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. As a person coming from cyprus i can happily say that the food was a 10/10 and is a must try. Overall, Stavros is a must-visit for anyone in Plymouth looking for a taste of Greece. You won't be disappointed!

We had the meze for 2 and the local Greek wine, we were late diners due to a delay in our travel plans and the food was still beautiful and the resteraunt accommodated our every request, despite the time. We have taken a business card and this will be our first call every time we visit plymouth from now on. We could not fault the food or the service Thank you ❤️

Fabulous evening on valentines Day, we didn't book and just by chance we managed luckily to get a table, everything from the food to the decor to the staff and atmosphere was fantastic!! If I could rate this higher, I would. Would urge anyone who's visiting or lives nearby to visit! You will not be disappointed, such good value for money and huge portions. Special shout out to Lynn!! (We were the boys by the wine rack in the corner) she made our night extra-special and was very warm and kind with such a friendly face she made us so welcome! Will be returning!!

Amazing and authentic food, meze was delicious aswell as the drinks, Rasputin made my birthday special

The service, nikolas, is cool, the food is tasteless, the meat is dry, greasy, full of oil, I had lamb chops, the worst experience of the food, we didn't sleep all night because of an upset stomach, the worst restaurant I've ever visited, never again, I DO NOT RECOMMEND, I'll attach a photo

The lamb kleftiko was so tender and delicious and good portion size. Nicholas was very kind. Will come back for sure.

Had a lovely birthday dinner at Stavros! The staff are very friendly and even gave us a complimentary bottle of prosecco!

Been twice to this restaurant now and will be going back. Amazing service and amazing food. Both times I’ve had the kleftiko and it’s to die for. Shout out to Nicolas. Had a lovely time celebrating my Birthday.

Great food, excellent service and a good atmosphere.

Staff very professional and nice

Nice restaurant, we had the sharing meze and ended up in a food coma! Tasted good and other dishes looked huge too. Reasonably priced. Nice atmosphere.

beautiful food fantastic service

We visited friday night .we have chicken souvlaki,i like chicken and rich flavor too atlast delicious dessert tiramesu love it

Following a meal at Stavros I have finally found where the leak in my toilet is coming from. A hairline crack in the rim of the bowl, would have never noticed it without spending an entire night with my head down the carsey. Mind you not like I can afford to fix it after the worlds most expensive meat and rice. Thanks Stavros. Horrific.

The starters were good, after that it went downhill. The mains weren’t great and expensive. Was not a fan of the flys flying around the hallway by the toilet and above my wine. Staff were attentive. Although I did leave with a thumping headache.

We Visited today 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.i just love it

I forgot to take photo but ,steak cooked very well and plating was excellent I love it and see you next time with the same flavor

salmon was perfect done and platings was excellent love it and Service was good

The food was absolutely amazing, the meet and moussaka was delicious and all the starters were great. Thanks to all the staff members, the food and service was excellent. Would recommend this 100%.

I heard from friends this place is very good but after trying lamb chops and baklava I would like to visit again because staff is so friendly and respectful,helpful towards everyone they suggest village red wine which was very good I really had good time

Fruit flies in loo and around bar Chicken souvlaka borderline under-cooked with no char and lacking flavour Rice lacking flavour Moussaka lacking flavour You know its bad when the iceberg lettuce is a highlight.

Had dinner with a friend at Stavros Greek restaurant on Barbican. Lovely atmosphere, delicious food, service at the highest level! I recommend to visit, you will have a wonderful cosy evening. I would also like to mention the friendliness of the owner of the place.

Loved the food, served quickly, and lovely staff

We ate in here a couple of days ago. We had the lunch Meze platter at £12.90 per person. Very nice food and plenty of it. Really recommend this restaurant.

The fish was not fresh and was served with fries similar to McDonald’s. We had to ask for sauce and got given sachets like the ones in a cheap cafe. Worst of all I had to use the loo before food and there was lots of flies, one must have escaped and was flying over our food and us. I’m not one to complain so I said nout and paid the bill but my advice about the place is to stay away.

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.

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.

Portion was big. Steak and fish was very well cooked. The service was friendly and on time. Will be back again. Thank you

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.

Very disappointed, food was a big let down calamari should not taste like rubber bands, but most of all that put me off was the amount of fruit flies around my food but all over the chairs and also in the toilet, I eventually had to walk out.

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 !!!

Not booked so was lucky to get a table for 2 people. Staff were lovely and friendly. Premises are very cosy and intimate. Delicious choices on the menu. Hearty portions made with fresh produce and cooked to perfection. Compliments to the Chef and kitchen staff. Would recommend vegetable mousaka, Greek salad and special mixed souvlaki. 😊

We came down from Exeter to try Stavros and we were really pleased. The food was delicious! They have the local Cypriot “Keo” beer. The staff were really friendly and efficient. The service was excellent. We will be returning :)

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.

Lovely food such polite attentive waitresses and staff

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

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

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.

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!
