G	Gwen A on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ First time I went and it won't be my last time. So good. The service was top notch. They actually had vegetarian moussaka.....it was very good! The potatoes yum! You could actually taste the lemon as you should with lemon Greek potatoes!! I can't wait to go back.
A	Abigail Frando on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It has always been a great memory and experience whenever I get to dine at this restaurant. The quality and taste of their Greek dishes are really delectable. So far, I've only tried their roast lamb and calamari with all those accompaniments and oh, I always enjoy their warm pita with hummus and tzatziki - the best! My co-workers would also mention that they prefer this way better than the competition across the street ?
S	Shauna Y on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This restaurant is a fabulous place! Great atmosphere, amazing and welcoming staff, not to mention the large portions of delicious Greek food! My husband and I are visiting from out of town and brought my grandmother and great aunt for supper and it did not disappoint! There was something on the menu for everyone! We would 110% recommend this place if you're looking for a good meal and great views of the river! Thank you for having us, next time we are in town we will definitely be back!!
K	Karah Hutchison on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Amazing experience, we knew once we had to be sat at the bar that we chose a great place to eat because this place was PACKED. My partner and I both got lamb and loved it, easily the best I've ever had. Plates were large but the food was so well cooked that we ate all of it without any issues, and not even a hint of indigestion or heartburn- good food sits great. Bartender was so friendly and great to speak to in-between her making drinks for a packed restaurant. It was a fantastic experience. I do recommend a reservation on a Saturday night however, we were remarkably lucky to receive even bar seating at the time we walked in. Well worth the reservation however. 10/10.
A	Anne W on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We've been trying out various Greek restaurants in the lower mainland for 15 years, but this is the first time we tried Taverna Greka. It is now #2 on our list of favourites! Food was delicious (we both got souvlaki), view/location of the water is a nice setting, interior decor is a fun atmosphere (especially the lit bar), and the service was wonderful. Recommended by two picky Greek food eaters :)
G	Gutsylady Traveler on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This authentic Greek restaurant has been an icon in New Westminster for ages. Located right on Columbia street, it’s easy to find. Look for their name in bright blue lights. If you’re celebrating a special occasion or have out of town visitors, reserve a table by the window. Here you will get a beautiful view of the Fraser River. They were busy on the weekend which took a little longer for our food to arrive. It was worth the wait. They had a ‘features’ menu and I highly recommend ordering the Tarama Dip which is red caviar served with pita bread. Unusual and tasty. We ordered the moussaka, vegetarian moussaka, roasted lamb, & lamb chops. All entrees came with rice, roast potatoes, Greek salad, pita & tzatziki. Everyone loved their selections. Flavourful, fresh, and a decent portion. Great value! Our server was friendly Parking can be a bit of a challenge. Get there early! If you enjoy Greek food, this is the place!
A	Adrian Torino on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Glad to have tried this place last week and will definitely go back for a dine-in experience. Almost had to stop the car somewhere on the road because the smell of the food was so good. Food was absolutely delicious with the appies being my fav. The garlic prawns sauce was rich and added more taste to the rice and also used it as a dip for the pita bread too. Calamari was super soft and fresh tasting too with the generous amount of onions adding a nice sweet taste. The lamb chops was spot on and very tender too. Only thing about the lamb chop dish is that I didn't really like the way the potatoes were cooked. Not sure how they were cooked but, the outer layer of it was a little hard instead of a fully soft potato. Otherwise, everything was awesome.
E	Evan Kita on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I'm definitely not an expert on Greek food, but this was definitely among the best I've had, on par with what I was finding in Europe! I came here as a spur of the moment with a couple of people, based on recommendations I've received. I was not disappointed at all! I had the lamb souvlaki and it was delicious! There was no gamey-ness that some lamb dishes have. We also ordered the calamari and it was delicious. My partner loves calamari and said it was easily some of the best he's had. We also went through a couple pitchers of sangria. For dessert, we decided to try one of each, but my favourite was the ek met and bougatsa. The staff were all extraordinary and we loved our server. Will definitely be back and will make a reservation next time!
