With a bring your own booze policy this is a popular place for groups and will be a busy venue around Christmas time. The food, as you expect from Greek restaurants is good, hearty and a little too rich anytime of the year but it has a very warm feel to the place which is helped I think by it's out of the way location behind the university which makes you and your fellow diners feel like you know something the rest of the city doesn't.

Eurekakakaka as my mum calls it ( Vic Reeves style) has been a firm favourite of hers for more than…read more20 years but I've only been introduced to it this year. No wonder she was keeping it secret, easy to do in this not so salubrious location, as this family run Greek restaurant is hard to beat on quality and value. Decor, music, menu and owner( George) are most definitely Greek but ably helped by his scouse son and daughter to bring that bit of the med to a Liverpool back street. The menu has a great range of fine char grill cooked meat, and other greek favourites including excellent home crafted soups, dips, salads, stuffed vine leaves etc and the mezes is hard to finish ( both the meat and veggie version). My favourite is the succulent and tender chicken kebabs but my vegetarian sister says the plaki ( butter beans in tomato) beans are hard to beat. The place is favourite of many university staff and students located just across the road from the main campus and lunch and evenings find the initiated enjoying quality fresh cooked mediterranean fare in the friendly company of George, I recommend you try it.

Ah yes yes yes, another healthy offering of a privately owned family restaurant, we all know how…read moremuch I love these. This particular Greek offering is located outside the hustle and bustle of the city centre and thus is more intimate an experience. Forget waht your inhibitions are about the "kebab" and give their Souvlakia Kebabs a whirl. Trust me you won't regret it. I also tried the sea food platter which was delicious and consisted of smoked salmon, mackerel, taramosalata, cocktail prawns, pickled octopus, crab and caviar garnished with lettuce and parsley. Is that delightful or is that delightful. There are just so many mouth watering options this place will have you coming back for more. Even if you are a vegan they can cater for you. I had some of my friend's Mosaka and normally I'm not too pleased with the vegetarian dishes but this one I did fancy. The Mosaka comprises of layered potatoes aubergines and courgettes topped with cheese sauce cooked in individual ceramic dish which gives it a unique and tasty flavor. To add to all this the prices are very reasonable and normally it will set you back less than £20 per person which is fantastic given the generous portions of food you receive. This is one Taverna I will be paying a visit again in the near future, why don't you have a gander good people!!

The service is very friendly, with staff all adept at offering recommendations and explaining ingredients. It's also very family oriented, unsurprising given its origins, and children are given a very warm welcome too. It's definitely authentically Greek, remarkably cheap too and the portions are generous with plentiful choices. It's quite rustic and rough n' ready which adds heaps to its charm too. If our inexplicably dull, humid and surprisingly early summer is getting you down this is certainly a place that'll inject a little Mediterranean sunshine into your life. Be sure to make the additional journey to check it out!

There's banquets to share and a good range of dishes, all of which look good enough on the menu to take a hopeful punt on. In fairness, they ARE all worth taking a punt on! The bar is as well stocked as any restaurant bar and the wine list is... well... I'm not a wine expert so I wouldn't know. From the look of it, it seems good enough unless you're Oz Clark. The staff are all pleasant and clued up and, on certain nights, they have traditional Greek music and, well, let me just say that, if you're after a quiet romantic night in, avoid this one (ring ahead to find out when it is as I can't remember) as it can get a bit loud. Fun as hell though. A good little restaurant this!

Name issues aside though, The Greek Taverna is a lovely restaurant to dine in and represents a refreshing change from the usual swarm of Indian and Italian restaurants that litter the local area (talk about overkill). The dishes available there are both varied and delicious, with the lamb keftedes being a particularly favourite of mine, as well as the kalamari. The Greek Taverna also does several special offers which are well worth checking out, such as the Early Evening Menu (2 courses for £12.95) and a Sunday menu, both of which represent excellent value for money considering the rich and flavoursome food on offer. The staff there are friendly and attentive also, ensuring that your dining experience at The Greek Taverna is one you will savour, just like their food.

Smiles all round, simple good food in an albeit cramped cafe style deli in Sedgley Park. The Greek salads are good but they do standard fast food too like chips and cheeseburgers. You can have a box of Greek food to take out for a couple of pounds. When the weather is nice, there are a few tables set outside and even though its on the busy main road, this is nice enough. Definitely a favourite of mine for a little slice of the Mediterranean to add some colour to the day.

It is located just on the corner of the burn put church in the city centre and is easily accessible by bus. A family run establishment since the 1970s this is one of the best places to eat in the city. The staff are extremely friendly and nothing is too much trouble. The owner of the restaurant is very much front of house and makes you feel welcome immediately. The food is all fresh cooked to order and served authentic Greek cuisine. The lamb kleftico is to die for. And if you have a sweet too the then I'd recommend the homemade baklava with pistachio ice cream. All the food is prepared on site in the little open kitchen at the heart of the restaurant. You can see the chefs busy cooking away which is great to see. I really like this restaurant because of its authentic Greek cuisine and hospitality. The food is stunning, the service is superb and the location is perfect. I'd happily recommend this restaurant to anyone who is in the area and wants authentic Greek cuisine at a reasonable cost

I also got the feeling that, like a movie, when you walk in everyone stops what they're doing and looks at you, if only for a fraction of a second. After these unsettling observations, we were shown to our table. The service here is excellent, and the food is as traditional as you want (ie there are English options too). Also, there is no plate smashing or belly dancing, unlike Christakis, so you can enjoy a nice quiet meal. Being a fan of all things foreign, I enjoyed the food greatly, although I know traditional Greek isn't to everyone's taste. If I had my way, I'd eat tzatziki and bread and drink wine all night if I could! The food is reasonably priced and the atmosphere nice, so if you want a mild Greek experience, go to Zorbas!

Romios Greek Taverna is situated on Lark Lane and has been running since 1989…read more On my first visit here me and my friends decided to try the Greek Banquet, the Mezedes. This consists of a choice of 15 courses which include hot and cold starters and char grilled meat dishes, as well as plenty of vegetarian options. Every dish I tried was delicious. It was expertly cooked by the chef and it surpassed my expectations a great deal. The wine list at Romios consists of Greek and Cypriot wines as well as those from the more well known wine growing countries. There are also Greek beers available, but if you're not feeling adventurous you can have a bottle of normal beer such as Budweiser. The service at Romios is excellent. The staff are friendly and happy to explain any dish on the menu if you are not too sure what to order. The meals arrive quickly but you do not feel pressured to finish your course to move on to the next one. The restaurant surroundings have a definite Greek feel and replicate those of the traditional Greek tavernas I have visited on holiday. Next time you are on Lark Lane give Romios a try as it is a unique place with wonderful staff who make you feel like part of the family.
