Interesting and cute decor with attentive service. Will definitely return soon.

The good: the hummus and the chicken shawarma were amazing…read more The bad: the tabouli was awful. I love tabouli and order it at every Mediterranean restaurant I go to, and this was the worst I ever had. The ingredients might have been off (either the ratio, or maybe something even went bad. It looked normal but tasted terrible). When we asked for cups of water (after spending upwards of $100) we were told they "don't do that" - because obviously they expect you to purchase bottled water. I find this to be unacceptable. Last but not least: we witnessed a cockroach crawling across the floor. One of the little German ones. Although not as scary as their larger, American counterparts, they still carry lots of germs that can make you sick, and when you see one you can assume there are many more close by. Would I be back? Hard pass. I'm sure I can find great hummus and chicken shawarma elsewhere.

Our server, Daniel, was fantastic and provided excellent service throughout the meal. For appetizers, we tried the calamari and mixed appetizer, and both were delicious. The calamari was especially good, perfectly crispy. For our entrée, we ordered the mixed grill for two, and every meat was seasoned and cooked to perfection. We finished with the pistachio baklava, which was delicious. I do wish I had ordered something to pair with it, but it was still a great way to end the meal. Overall a great experience. Would definitely go back.

We did an appetizer taster plate with all different dips to be eaten with their big balloon bread (get seriously look like balloons when they come out). The bread is cooked in house and you just rip pieces of it off and scoop up there different dips. There were different flavored hummus ones and savory veggie ones that were all delicious. That bread was really good too. My friend got something with big, juicy, tender pieces of lamb that I should have also gotten because it was so delicious! My thin sliced lamb done was good and the meat was so well seasoned. The veggies were all fresh and blended nicely with the meat. I would have enjoyed a pita to put it on (more like a gyro I guess) and some extra tatziki sauce, which was really delicious too. The waiter was very professional and friendly and great at sharing recommendations with us. The place has a classy decor and quality feel to it, so this is a great date or business dinner restaurant.

My husband and I were in Orlando for a convention and decided to have dinner at Taverna Opa because…read moreit was nearby. Unlike the venue in Hollywood, Florida, which is near our home, this one is larger and brighter and more spacious. The food is just as good and the atmosphere also is cheery and bright. We had the saganaki and the grilled octopus appetizers. Both were very good. Although we are used to cold, marinated octopus we thoroughly enjoyed this grilled version. For dinner, hubby had the lamb board and I had the slow-cooked lamb. Both were savory and satisfying, and we had enough leftovers for the next day's lunch. We were adventurous and tried the Galaktoboureko dessert, custard wrapped in honey phyllo. It was served warm, and it was sweet and creamy. Our server Rafael was very attentive. About the only problem we had was that the appetizers and entrees arrived at the same time. Say what? Nico, one of the managers, chatted with us before and told us he had worked at the Taverna Opa in Hollywood. After our meal, he stopped by to see if we liked this restaurant and even offered us a taste of mastiha, a Greek liqueur. Hubby doesn't drink, but I gladly accepted a shot (and really liked it). We had dinner around 6 pm and the entertainment was starting just as we were leaving a bit after 7 p.m. We couldn't stay longer because we had to catch a speaker. Dinner for 2 with 2 appetizers, 2 entrees, 1 dessert, tax, and tip was $137.

It was fun to see.they had belly dancers that danced around the tables throughout the dining hall. Came here as recommended by my friend whose husband is Greek. Ordered several dishes but I was disappointed at my order, the Bifteki. It was dry and a bit on the dark side. Was not a fun of the taste. I was wrong to expect it to be like the traditional kobideh. It was so dry I asked for the tzatziki but I had to pay extra, was really disappointed. Got the DIY hummus which you have to smash on wooden mortar with a pestle--not a fun of it either but ok, the flavor was there. The Lemon chicken was surprisingly good. The Pastitsio was the best, very rich in Greek cheeses. This was the best one from all that we've ordered. Service was ok, nothing special and the ambience was loud. Perhaps on another weekday it won't be this loud.

Lale is a small, cozy restaurant with the most delicious food. I am a huge fan of Mediterranean food, but had not had Turkish food before. I ventured to try out a few new things and everything was stunning. Fan favorites for me and the table included the mixed grill (even though it says serves two, if you order appetizers it can absolutely serve 3), the hummus (truly some of the best I've ever had), and the Kunefe. The Kunefe - oh my goodness - it's like nothing I've ever had before, but our table devoured it and stated that they just found their new favorite dessert. The service is attentive and you can tell that there is a lot of love put into the food that is served to you. I look forward to returning many, many more times in the future!
