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.

My wife ordered stafado beef (old favourite) but sauce tasted awful and meat gristly. My yogurt lamb parcel was cooked well but not to my taste. No one came to check if food was ok and we tried to get someone's attention re wife's meal even though place was quiet. Staff had done Halloween make up and that looked good. When we spoke finally to staff they took her meal off the bill. It's a great shame. Previously a local favourite but we won't be back for a while. £200 feels like a mugging c/w food received.

A sign of things to come : not that much Seated in a small window booth overlooking the beautiful view of wilko. There is a menu online and it shows one price then another on the actual menu in the venue. They were off by a few pounds ! Anyway staff seemed relatively attentive when they weren't busy cleaning cutlery that had already been clean or pacing the laminate. The style of service felt to me that this was a relatively new venture as they had a cloud of staff appear throughout us eating to ask the usual questions ( is everything ok etc) . Just pick one serving staff and stick to your table The menu showed us a Friday and Saturday night set meal so we opted for that considering the price would have been higher ordering normally Starters of falafel and hummus was very nice and the bread was excellent ! But when it came to the main for the price you pay 1) you expect a sauce nf not to have to pay and extra £5 for two sauces. 2) it not to be thrown on the plate with rice all under the edge of the plate 3) it be on a HOT plate - basics really and finally 4) the food to be served together so when we ordered our mains and they arrived. Unbeknown to us we got a small side salad with BBQ onions but these were served about 6/7 minutes after our meals had arrived The meat and rice were nice but the Adana pictured was very greasy and felt like needed longer cooking All in all I rate this place as a 2.5 Points ; Price to high Cold plates Need a consensus of who serves who! Will possibly return but will bide my time !

When we complained the owner became argumentative about his positive reviews??? Work that one out. The majority of the staff were nice enough however one waiter did not have a clue about diet coke and normal coke. We were given 10% off the bill which was a nice gesture however doesn't stop me giving my review I won't be going back and I recommend other alternatives. Not a good start Yasmin

The interiors are cool and clean with a more minimalist feel than the usual trellises and vines and pottery that you're accustomed to. The atmosphere here would suit a place in the city centre rather than suburbia - the staff are friendly and efficient, the music evocative but not overpowering and the general feeling is that you can have an authentic Greek experience without someone smashing your plates. The food is amazing - I'm a big fan of Mediterranean flavours and after spending some time living in Cyprus I'm an even bigger fan of Greek and Turkish tastes. For meat lovers, the Keftedes meatballs is a good place to start. Lefteris' house special Ouzo Chicken is also something not to be missed, although I'm a fan of the traditional Mousaka , Kleftiko and Stifado. If you're a veggie, you can't go wrong with the Houmous, Tzatziki and Tahini dips to start, and then there's veggie Mousaka or my favourite, Dolmades (stuffed vine leaves) which are delish. Prices are reasonable - you're looking at around £14 for a main - and if you're a fan of all things Greek, this is somewhere you must try.

The food is great with a wide range of meals no matter what sort of thing you're into - there is plenty to choose from, meat, fish or veggie. The restaurant has had a makeover not too long ago, which has proved to be a part of Lefteris' success along Allerton Road, as it now has the look that you seem to need to make it down this popular stretch. My main downfall is the fact that they only accept cash - not ideal when you are large party dining out.

The food is absolutely wonderful and I prefer this restaurant to their other which is in Knutsford if only for the chaotic fun caused by owner Shah. Imagine a 5' 4 Indian 'Basil Fawlty' with purple streaks in his hair tearing around and serving 6 tables at once then you will picture Shah however he smiles constantly and is nice to the staff. I can forget the occassional double bookings and the order mix ups because it's such fun to eat here and the food is superb. A word of warning book your table as it is very popular and dont expect to rush just enjoy the fantastic experience, then can even cater for parties in the upstairs dining room.

How is it possible for this restaurant to be so 3 dimensional you may ask. Well it's all down to having award winning chef's Mr. Adonis Dascolakis (Greek), Mr. Arsim Daci (Albania) and Mr. Volkan Sonlu (Turkish) These three musketeers will cook you up a treat between them. It is also reasonably priced with starters ranging from £3.50-£8 with main's ranging from £10-£15. A special mention for the Sirloin steak cooked on charcoal. Served with vegetables and chips.

We went in on a Saturday night on the off chance there was a free table. The restaurant was obviously busy but they accommodated us. We were shown to our table, presented with menus and our drinks order was taken. We both ordered a Karisik, which has a mixture of chicken, lamb chops, Sis and Adana. When it arrived it looked amazing. It also came with some bread and a side salad which was delicious in itself. The meat was cooked to perfection and every mouthful was amazing. Even the rice was perfectly cooked and delicious. The toilets are small. The ladies toilet is a single disabled toilet and the men's toilet is a single toilet. The toilet was clean, tidy, and had a variety of toiletries to use. The only negative thing I can say is that the waiter didn't come over after our meals were served to check that everything was OK, but the restaurant was full to capacity so we can forgive that. This was the nicest kebab type dish I have ever had and the best restaurant I have been to in a long time. I will definitely be going back.

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.
