Came here for my birthday. Absolutely delicious! We got the Greek fries, the tavern spaghetti, and a gyro. It was ravishing. And the portions were massive! $14 for my spaghetti and I couldn't even get through half of it. I will definitely be returning if I visit Richmond again. Greater server, nice and funny guy. Thank you so much for a great meal!

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!

This was my first time here. When I walked in, I was immediately greeted, asked how many, and promptly sat. The atmosphere was great, my order was taken within minutes and, hot fresh food was before me quickly. Great place and I will be going back. Thank you all for a fantastic experience.

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.

I have a friend (often joined by others) who goes out to dinner with me every Friday we can. Girls’ Night! The food is always mouthwatering and beautiful. It’s hard for me to steer away from moussaka with rice pilaf. So good! I love a good mixed drink and I wish theirs were as good as the food. However, the food will always draw me back. Made a reservation for tomorrow! 😊

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. 👏👏👏

The best place my husband and I have eaten at all year. We loved it.

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!

Baked Spaghetti and Eggplant Parmesan. Great food and large portions. Very warm and friendly staff. It’s clear they love what they do.

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.

Everything here is delicious. The Pistachio is amazing. The best I've ever had.
I Really enjoyed the Gyro Pizza...it disappeared so fast.
Everyone is so welcoming and dining in has always been perfect but it's often a full house and so we love taking advantage of their take out services.

What a find! The atmosphere was crisp and clean with an upscale vibe but such reasonable prices. The spicy lamb burger is a special every thursday and was so flavorful. The 3 story club was amazing. thick cut Turkey, ham, bacon with cheese. definitely ask for their homemade Greek sauce for the sandwich. So yum! you can also purchase it by the bottle. 5 radiant stars!!

As close as it gets to original Greek from from Greece. Matter of fact the pastisio was the best one I ever had. The octopus was grilled to perfection the home made kofte and the salad is amazing. Try the home made sausage too. The owners are there daily to make sure the food is the best quality. G told me that most of the recipes are from his mother in law's book. Kataifi with cream was one of the best I had as well. Definitely going back to try different menu items. It is as authentic as it gets.

Went to visit my son and his roommate at VCU and my daughter saw this restaurant on a prior visit and wanted to try it. I have to say everything was amazing. Started with the bread along with olive oil and a blend of spices. Had the calamari and spanakopita as appetizers, and both were delicious! My daughter and I both had the Greek Spaghetti, and it was sooo delicious. My son had Chicken Parmesan I believe, and his roommate had the Gyro. All the portions were massive!! Even the sweet tea was delicious! This restaurant was a pleasant surprise, and the service was fantastic. This will definitely be our go to spot when at VCU. Pizza is on the list next for my son, so we will be back. Everyone should try this restaurant if in the area.Thanks for a delicious dinner and great service Greek Taverna!

So happy to have found you, Greek Taverna! The most wonderful spanakopita, and gyro pizza both presented a reason to return to try something new on the beautiful menu. Top-notch waiter, too!
Glenda Holloway
My friends and I are departing in a few weeks for our first visit to Greece and met at this wonderful restaurant to talk about the trip. The staff was great and the food was heavenly. We will be back.
