    Tavi lunch menu
    Mike H.

    Dined at Tavi in downtown Covington on a Sunday and as always, it was quite good. My wife and I started with the Tahini hummus appetizer with fresh warm pita and it was great. We each followed with the Fattoush salad. Crisp and tasty! As we have come to expect, service was excellent and the surroundings tastefully comfortable. Excellent desserts and a full bar are available. Tavi is the go to place in Covington for elegant Mediterranean dining.

    We had such a great dinner at Tavi in Covington. I got the salmon and my husband went with the lamb burger. We started with the fried chicken hummus and it was amazing. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. Even my husband, who usually isn't into Mediterranean food, said he loved everything and would come back. The pita was so fresh, the service was excellent, and the ambiance was beautiful and inviting. Definitely a 10 out of 10 and we'll be back for sure.

    The food was delicious! Have to come back and try more items on the menu. Ask for Mark, he was our server and he was on top of everything!

    Came in for a cocktail and appetizers on a Friday evening. Busy location, lively crowd, prompt service. The martinis were fresh and delicious. The fried chicken hummus was absolutely the star of the show-- the warm naan, date salsa, spiced crispy chicken hummus all of it came together perfectly.

    A+ 100 meal! Everything was so good! I loved that they had options to do a demi size of the hummus so we could try more of them.

    Was came to Tavi because everything else was closed...and I'm so glad we did! The food here is amazing. Everything we had was delicious. The best thing was the chicken thighs on aromatic rice. The chicken was cooked perfectly and tasted great. The rice was phenomenal. The spices they add to the rice made it so flavorful. I would come back just for the rice! For dessert, we had the chocolate and tahini mousse, which was so tasty. Tavi has amazing food, great service and a warm atmosphere. Make sure to try it out!

    This has always been a 4/5star place- but tonight was very disappointing. Our first round of pita was t hot- the fried chicken hummus...chicken was not hot and you could tell it had been sitting for a while. Why you ask? Because they were severely understaffed tonight. if you don't have enough server help, don't fill up and sell out your restaurant. I don't fault the servers, I fault the management. Not the best experience...cold food and slow service. Our server had at least eight tables, and two parties of seven people. You just simply cannot be at all tables simultaneously and provide good service.

    The website and Yelp say they are open until 5. Just went there before 4pm. They do NOT stay open…read moreuntil 5! They were closed and one of my options was to come back at 7 am. I'm leaving town tomorrow and came all the way here from Arkansas to get their petite fours but I'm not doing that so I went elsewhere.

    *King Cake Review!!*…read more Are y'all sick of my king cake reviews yet? I hope not because I have quite a few more. This one is a little different, though, because it's for a shipped king cake. Now before you purists get your Mardi Gras feathers in a ruffle....yes, I do know all about the Randazzo family drama (if you don't, Google it) and the different bakeries that encompass said drama. There have even been lawsuits over the Randazzo family name and you might very well have had a Randazzo's king cake from a bakery with an entirely different name. One thing is for sure, whether it has the Randazzo's name or another one entirely (hi...Caluda's) their recipe is the bomb and is the very best in alllll of king cake land, and that is a hill I'm willing to die on. I have always wondered if a king cake that has been shipped is just as amazing as if you had gone and picked it up yourself. I have shipped king cakes before and my recipients always say they're good but let's face it, they might just be saying that to spare my feelings. And besides, a shipped cake that's below par is better than no king cake at all...am I right? So I was never positive if I could trust they were just as good. This year I shipped one to my brutally honest kid who just moved out of state. I knew she'd tell me the truth, whether I wanted to hear it or not. After her initial elated excitement of getting a piece of Louisiana shipped straight to her door several states away, she and her hubby dug in and she said, and I quote, "mom it's so good, so fresh and soft, so unbelievably amazing I feel like I'm in Louisiana right now eating it" and continued to rave about it all day to me, Facebook, her new neighbors, literally everyone. Then the next day (and this is the best review of all) she asked me if I wanted to see something embarrassing. Of course I do, lol. She texted me a picture of the king cake, (knife in the box...of course) with only one tiny little slice left. They DEVOURED it in less than 12 hours. I rest my case, your honor. If you have out-of-town people who love Louisiana, and are missing it like crazy, do them a solid and ship them a king cake and ship it from one of the Randazzo's. It's pricy but so worth it! My daughter actually cried real tears getting that king cake delivered. Do it y'all!
