Gyro
Matt P.

Stopped in for lunch today when I was in the area. I'd been here before, but it's been a long time. Open ambiance of the restaurant and the Greek themed decor are awesome. Went with the gyro sandwich with Greek salad and everything was fantastic, just like I remembered. Ingredient proportions on the gyro are perfect. Gyro meat, tzatzki, tomato's. They are super generous with the amount of meat they load into the pita (which is also great). The other menu items all looked tempting as well. Service was great, no complaints. Free refills on fountain drinks. Prices are fair. If you're in the area, check it out. You won't leave hungry or disappointed.

This came highly recommended to us and we were very satisfied! Food was excellent! Service was phenomenal too. Great stop if you're craving Greek food. We ordered the appetizer- OPA Cheese Saganaki, the Chicken Souvlaki and the Pork Souvlaki.

Best lamb chops in SWFL!

Our first visit to Greektown Taverna was delightful. First the staff was friendly, welcoming and attentive to our needs. The ambiance is casual and comfortable. They have Greek artifacts on the wall to enhance the ambiance. One of my friends informed me that they have music on some week night. We went on a Thursday night but no live music tonight! We have Chicken Kebob and Lamb chops. Both dishes were well seasoned with olive oil, herbs, garlic and well grilled. Wife loves her Chicken Kebob and the best lamb chops in SWFL! The roasted Greek potatoes, rice pilaf, broccoli and mixed vegetables are fresh and tasty! Our next table's Moussaka, Pastichio, Santorini Shrimps looking very inviting! They lighted the Saganaki Cheese on fire. We did not have dessert but as we leave baklava, galaktobureko, and rice pudding in the showcase are smiling at us!

Greek salad with gyro meet- cost $17
Jessica F.

I love Mediterranean food and always looking for a good new spot to try. This venue is clean, service was impeccable, I literally had to ask for nothing because they had every attention to detail. Before I could even ask for the server she was already at my table with a glass of water with . Portion sizes are large, the Greek salad with gyro meet was very good. I wasn't crazy about the house dressing for the salad but it was still good. The atmosphere is very casual, more family style so it's not a first date type of place. Definitely a place to try though and it looks like they have great lunch specials too.

Uncleared table from previous night

This photo was taken a few minutes before they opened today. Finished my grocery shopping after they opened, lights on with staff inside by then, table still not cleared. Draw your own conclusions ...

We had a group of 21 girls and guys from our water aerobic class attend lunch here. Food was excellent, prices were fair and service by Patricia C could not have been better. I think those who ordered the Greek salad or the "bowls" were Extremely happy.

Greek gyro with chicken.
Terri G.

We noticed this restaurant a few times and decided to stop in for lunch. It's in a good location, but kind of hidden from the street. We both ordered the traditional gyros, which came with fries and a Greek salad. The salad was crisp and very fresh. The gyros were large and filled with meat, tomatoes, onions, cucumbers and tzatziki. I had the chicken gyro with fries, Alan had a beef gyro with rice. Alan gave his lunch a 5 star rating. He likes Greek food although Greek restaurants can be hard to find. This restaurant is spacious and has live music a couple of times a week. They have a varied menu and the food we ordered was well made and arrived quickly. The restaurant was clean and the service was good. This is a great restaurant when you're craving Greek food and the prices are reasonable too.

So called Keftedes. Basically hamburger meat. Raw in the middle.
Galit P.

We stopped in to grab a bite at what we thought was authentic Greek food. Key word, 'thought'. Firstly, the interior is sad for a Greek restaurant. Old brown sitting as if you were still at the old previous breakfast place. We ordered the beef Keftedes (Greek Meatballs) and they were absolutely horrible. The meat was literally soaked in oil and drizzled with more oil. It had a weird taste, and when it was broken apart, (literally fell apart) it was pink inside, so it obviously was not cooked thoroughly and it was basically a ground beef patty thrown in a pan of oil. If you've ever eaten authentic Keftedes, they are supposed to first of all bind, not fall apart, have savory spices, garlic, mint... none of these ingredients were in them. Plainly a hamburger with nothing on it, but shaped like they were to resemble something they are not. Off-putting. Furthermore; The ingredients on the menu did not match what was put out on the plate. We both ordered the gyro platter thinking that if a restaurant can't cook an authentic, simple gyro, then we're not coming back. It was unimpressive. The Gyro pieces were oily and very thick. The french fries - you could tell were frozen as they had no taste to them, no seasoning. The pita bread was cut in little pieces. It had a weird smell to it, and again you could tell it was frozen, not fresh. The tomato slices and cucumbers were huge, with no taste. Probably GMO vegetables. Even the tszadziki sauce was obviously from a jar or package, very thick no aromatic smell of dill as authentic Greek sauce should. This entire experience was gross, uninviting with outdated interiors, oily meat, and unappetizing. We could just tell that not one single thing was made fresh, not even the bread that was brought out in the beginning with the dipping oil, the bread was crumbling and it tasted like it was a day or two old. We will never be coming back. This was DEFINITELY NOT authentic Greek Cuisine. Check out my other reviews of amazing Greek places we have visited.

Grouper
Kellie D.

This place was busy on a Wednesday night but our party of seven had reservations and were seated immediately. The waiter gave us water glasses and carafes of water for the table. I ordered a peach martini -- very good and reasonably priced. Husband enjoyed his old-fashioned. Big menu -- hard to decide what to order! I went with the Athenian shrimp. They had a good flavor and were served with a basic rice pilaf and veggies. I wished the tails were not on them, though. My sons loved their chicken Alfredo and chicken gyro platter which were good sized. Husband was a bit disappointed at the size of his grouper. The live music lent a nice atmosphere.

Pastitsio!!!

I researched summer dining deals in Naples. Every Saturday night after church myself and my family…read moreand friends try and find a different restaurant that won't break the bank. When I found their deal for 29.95 a glass of wine, choice of many delicious appetizers and a main entree. Georgia our server was great! We are looking forward to putting your restaurant into our Saturday rotation. Thank you!

Naples, FL WOW!!!! We agreed that this is our favorite…read moredinner of the trip...and we've had some good ones! The decor sets you in a little slice of Greece and is simple yet elegant. First off..Emily and Alex greeted us like family when we got there and made us feel welcome (the Saganaki was amazing, the best we've ever had...thank you!). We began with an appetizer called Dolmades, which we have had before at another Greek restaurant, these were in a totally different ballpark though with a Lemanto sauce that was out of this world delicious, and Dolmades are hand rolled grape leaves filled with a beef and rice mixture and covered with the Lemanto sauce (a tangy egg/lemon sauce)...as amazing as these were I knew we were in for a great night! Emily and Alex then sent out a Saganaki for us to enjoy and get the chance to yell "Opa!" The Saganaki is (and this is straight from the menu cause I actually had no idea) an Imported Kefalograviera Cheese (goat and sheep milk) that is flambeed table side and everyone celebrates by yelling "OPA!" when it gets lit....also, the best we've ever had! Terri ordered the Chicken Souvlakia. For those who ask "What's that?" I'll tell you....It's Chicken marinated in Greek seasonings, skewered and char-broiled and comes with pita and a creamy Greek dressing for dipping, and a side of lemon roasted oregano potatoes. She said everything was amazing and she even tried (and liked) the creamy Greek dressing! If you know Terri, "if its not Thousand Island get it away from me" is the norm...so this shocked me. I ordered the Lamb Shank, which is something I have never had before...I've heard that Lamb can be " gamey" so it's generally something I'll shy away from. But watching the episode of TripleD where they featured this dish I was confident that these folks know what they're doing with a Lamb Shank..and am I ever glad that I did...their preparation for this dish pretty much ensures that the gamieness that you may expect isn't going to be a problem. They slowly braise it with vegetables, red wine, and other fresh herbs...the result is a beef so tender that it literally is fall off the bone! It reminds me of a roast my Grandma used to make but a richer and more depth of flavor beef. It was simply amazing! It's served over a bed of Mykonos style orzo (a Greek style of pasta cooked risotto style with a tomato base that at first glance looks like rice but its a pasta)...then they finish it with lamb gravy and parmesan. And it is fantastic!!!!! Thank you to Emily, Alex and their entire team that really treated us like we'd known them for years...we didn't find out about Mykonos Kuzina until we were headed back home from vacation last year and were totally bummed that we'd missed out on getting to their place. From the day we got home last year I started planning on stopping by their place ... it was the first place on my list of stops we had to make. Sometimes you get an idea or concept in your mind and you make expectations that cannot be met...I was a bit nervous that maybe I had done that myself here but I'm happy to say that Mykonos Kuzina, Emily and Alex and their entire team not only met but exceeded my expectations....Thank You!

I love their paintings on the wall. We started off with a small portion of tzatziki and fresh warm pita bread wrapped with a blue napkin. Wife ordered a Pastitsio or a Greek lasagna. It is flavorful! The portion is huge, she took half portion home! I have a "low tide", scallops, shrimps, mussels over pasta. It was so good I slurped in less than 5 minutes! The Greek salads were superb. Two tables over, they have the lamb chops, chicken liver and Soupa Avgolemono or egg-lemon soup. Very nice and authentic Greek food served here! We were so full and skipped our favorite Baklava, chopped walnuts and pistachios with filo dough and serve with honey. With the heavy rain late in the afternoon, only a few tables were occupied.

We came on a random weekday for lunch and it was busy. We ordered a gyro and a veggie pita, I thought they were both delish. I loved that it came with feta.

The service was fantastic. Would come back.
