The Greek Taverna

We found The Greek Taverna on Insta and had to try it! It did not disappoint! We were met at the door with a nice hello and seated in a booth (even though we didn't have a reservation and it was almost rush time). Right when we were seated they brought us house made bread! The servers were very nice and friendly and explained all the specials. We ordered the Greek street fries as an appetizer. For our main course we had the Greek baked spaghetti and the special of the day which was stuffed salmon with rice pilaf and a salad. All of it it was FABULOUS! The Tzatziki sauce for the fries was good and thick. The fries were hot and the cheese was very good! Great appetizer! The baked spaghetti was fantastic! The noodles were perfect, right amount of cheese and the perfect amount of sauce. There is also pepperoni, sausage and meatballs in the sauce and it's huge! Also, I would name this as a #1 item for takeout in Richmond because it eats, travels and reheats well. The salmon special was stuffed and came with a super tasty rice pilaf and salad. The salmon was cooked perfect and had a wine lemon dill cream sauce, my husband cleaned his plate! He loved it all! For dessert we had Kataifi Ek Mek. It's a Greek dessert that the owner makes with shredded wheat soaked in a sweet syrup with vanilla sweet cream (almost a pudding) topped with homemade whipped cream! It was FABULOUS, I ate it all! They serve Greek wine and have specials on food and wine. Next time we will try the wine and other new things. This was a fabulous dinner out and we will be back!

If you like pasta, and a lot of it, Greek Taverna is a great place. It’s also great if you don’t like pasta, but I would seriously recommend the Greek Spaghetti, which is essentially a gargantuan plate of garlicky, buttery noodles covered in cheese, tomatoes, and chicken or shrimp. The entrees are big enough to take half home for a second meal! The employees are attentive and humorous, so it seems like the restaurant treats their staff well. I make sure to stop here at least once a month.

Great owners and food! My coworker and I had lunch here since we were in the area. Food was great, I had the chicken soulvalaki and they had the gyro sandy we both agreed we would be back when we go back to the area. Great atmosphere and aesthetic as well inside, when you walk in on the right is a collage of the family and I just thought that was so cute and such a nice touch. Great appreciation for small business and especially family run ones. 👏👏👏

Maybe the best Greek cuisine in Richmond! Fresh, "made from scratch" fare from the bread to the avegolemono soup to the dessert. Cat, our server, was superb. The owner was quite pleasant. There are also happy hour specials that last until 7:30pm. Can't miss with this restaurant choice!

Got takeout from here tonight to try this place out. We had such a good meal I wanted to make sure and leave a review! Everything tasted fresh down to the fried items and dolmades (the filling was perfection.) We got the appetizer sampler, moussaka, and chicken parm and we loved everything. My moussaka came with a side of yiahni and I could probably make a meal just of those alone. My partner said the interior was really cute as well.
