    I had the craving for Mediterranean food for dinner while we were in Flagstaff, and remembered seeing this place on a prior visit. I made a reservation, although it turned out not to be necessary, as this place is fairly large and has plenty of tables. We were greeted and seated immediately. Theren are two sides to three restaurant, with tables, booths and banquettes on one side, and a bar on the other side. There is also a separate room that looks like it's set up for parties with sofas in front of a fireplace and rows of long tables. It looks like this would be a great place for a party. There were several good choices on the menu, although there were no lamb chops, which is usually one of my favorite things to order in a Mediterranean restaurant. But no worries, because there was lamb souvlaki! I ordered the lamb souvlaki, which came with pita bread, sauteed veggies, orzo, and a long skewer of grilled lamb cubes. Our server suggested a side of the chimichurri, which they will bring you for free. The lamb was excellent with just the right amount of char. The pits was really good, too--all soft and chewy, not dry like pita can sometimes be, and it was put on the grill to give it that tiny bit of grilled flavor. But surprisingly, it was the buttery orzo with feta that I really loved. Date I say that I liked it more than the standard tumeric rice that you usually get at Mediterranean restaurants? Yes! It was delicious! Hubby got a gyro pita, which came with Greek salad. First, his plate was huge! The salad was enormous for a side salad, and was super colorful (which is a compliment for salads). His pita was pulled so high that he had to eat half of the meat and veggies before he could even pick it up. It was topped with the best tzaziki ever. This place is really great, and if you are looking for Mediterranean food in Flagstaff, this is your place!

    First time ordered Uber Eats from this restaurant and I'm not sure it will happen again. I ordered the bees souvlaki medium rare with orzo and no feta . The food came with feta. The meat was overcooked and it cost me 37 dollars for basically a child size.

    During my pre-Thanksgiving roadtrip, I naturally wanted something different than what my hometown offers. Enter: Taverna Modern Mediterranean in Flagstaff, AZ. My dog was waiting in my air conditioned Jeep so I opted to get takeout on November 25, 2025. When I walked in I was promptly and warmly greeted by a nice young man. I ordered at the bar. Used their clean restroom, then waited about 15 minutes for my order to be ready. Later said canine and I shared the Gyro Pita ($18.49) meal which came with fries. I just wish three had been more slices of beef and lamb as they were very thin at that price. I'm also not sure why there was an 8% surcharge on my bill. This is a classy yet comfortable setting for a date, business meeting, family affair, or just catching up with friends. They have a nice, large bar. I'm a fan.

    Quick lunch stop at flagstaff (on the transit)- family of 4 including 2 kids. Portions were good size and food was fresh from kitchen. We had gyro, pizza, salad and kebobs- all yum! Service was really good and in time. Indoor seating was spacious. Good for any size group. Will surely come back after the trip.

    We had an incredible dining experience at Taverna. Our server, Cade was attentive & friendly. We dined on a Thursday and they had a special with three spreads & a pitcher of Hugo spritz. We chose the whipped feta, harissa humus and pistachio labneh with fresh pita. They spreads were all excellent. For entrees, we had a Chicken Santorini, Lamb Souvlaki, Chicken Shawarma and the Cretan Village Salad with gyro meat. We all loved our meals and even had some leftovers to enjoy for lunch the next day. I would definitely dine here again.

    We are so glad we stop by for late lunch, early dinner. The food was delicious and he service was great with the hostess helping out with our waitress. Great tag team. The ambiance felt like a great vibe near the sport bar. Will recommend when in town for a Mediterranean food.

    food was impeccable! i recommend this place for anyone celebrating something because they know how to make it special. service was fast and she was so kind. loved the bar area and how it was separate from the nice seating. 10/10

    Salad was mostly bitter purple lettuce with little else. $16.50 wasted. Restaurant needs to re-think everything to succeed.
    Cindy G.

    The $16.50 greek salad was mostly bitter tasting purple lettuce. Very few other ingredients. It should be tightly packed iceberg lettuce with all the other ingredients in volume. At noon I was the only customer in the restaurant while all other eateries in Flagstaff were packed on a summer day. Other items were overpriced also for the mediocre quality.

    Delish!! After so much junk food on our roadtrip, my mom and I wanted something fresh and clean. This was just what we needed. Servers were nice and helpful during ordering, but I will say the meats were a bit burnt. We sat by the kitchen so we saw a lot of fire which makes sense as to the char. It was a bit too much for us but maybe it's someone's cup of joe. Liked the mezze app and the potatoes were weirdly sour? Didn't finish them.

    No less wings with out the sauce, kiddo wanted ckn tenders, they turned out great

    Super cute modern looking Mediterranean food. Happy hour specials 3-6, full bar apps, kid menu, didn't have ckn tenders so made it from no less ckn wings w/o sauce and came out great ordered w side fries, served plenty full. Mom and I got the tavern burgers with the feta and sauce fries.. can out a lil cold but still good. Super sweet server very patient, was mine and my son's first time.

    Been here a few times so when friend offered to treat us to a meal, we chose here! Always delicious beer and good! One person chose the Souvlaki beef and chicken with fries plate, another the Falafel pita with fries and I love the Gyro pita with fries. Watched some tennis on one of the screens in the bar. Discovered at checkout an 8% Flagstaff surcharge... okay that's something new and felt bad our friend was paying an extra amount compared to others times I have been here. Those dollars don't go to the server... so be sure to tip your server... I was thinking maybe in cash to be sure the server got their tip!

    This Mediterranean spot is a little pricey and they charge an 8% surcharge on the bill. Our server said it was because the minimum wage law in Flagstaff forces higher wages (currently $18/hr) and it is passed on to the consumer. None of it goes to the servers. Despite this, the food was absolutely delicious and fresh. We were greeted early and had a great server. We ordered: - Mezze - a selection of housemade spreads, including: tunisian harissa hummus, hummus, and tzatziki - served with grilled pita and fresh veggies - Greek Salad - mesclun greens, heirloom tomato, kalamata olives, cucumber, onion, bell pepper, pepperocinis, feta, greek dressing, Add Chicken, Hold the Feta (daughter said this salad was very delicious!) - Souvlaki - 2 skewers, one chicken and one beef, lemon roasted potatoes, greek salad, pita, tzatziki sauce (I looooved the lemon roasted potatoes. The meat was grilled well and tender inside. The salad is delicious and full of fresh veggies, olives, pepperocinis, and herbs - this was so filling and good!) - 3 Little Pigs Fired Pizza - house fennel sausage, pepperoni, calabrese, mozzarella There are plenty of booths and tables inside. There's a men's and women's restroom for customers.

    Your prices are absurd and your 8% service charge on top of already ridiculous prices is shameful.

    Do they have outdoor dining area?

    I don't recall seeing any in the front of the building as I walked in to pick up my take-out. They did seat people apart inside from what I noticed.

    Is this restaurant dog friendly?

    No, indoor seating only

    Do they not sell taverna fries I don't seem them on the menu?

    They still have them

I am not sure if they've overtaken an old motel and converted it into the motor lodge that it is today, but it definitely gives me those vibes! As you walk through the front doors, it seems you're transported back in time. It's dark and moody but also has a young hipster vibe. The general store offers breakfast and light bites for dinner. The pizzas are amazing! What makes it so fun is that you order at the general store and then you find a place to sit either inside or outside and they bring your food out to you. I absolutely love sitting outside by the fire pits. It's warm and cozy and you're surrounded by the hotel with a huge expanse of green space in front of you so, if you're traveling with kids, they have a place to play. Tonight we just got a pizza and some cocktails as we were just passing through. Everything was delicious!
