    Classic Cheeseburger w/fries
    Oscar A.

    Not a bad place to grab a good bite to eat. Came here for a lunch break from Uber driving. Ordered the classic cheeseburger with fries. The burger was pretty good and prepared to my liking. Medium rare of course. The burger was put together very well and did not fall apart after each bite. Fries were pretty good as well as the service.

Seating is mostly outdoors and beautifully decorated, definitely a nice selection for an intimate event. Service was wonderful! The spanakopita was nicely flaky, the spinach filling wasn't overly bitter or pungent (my boyfriend is not a fan of strong feta flavors and enjoyed this while I am a feta enthusiast, we felt that this was right in the middle of our demands which worked great). We both love moussaka which is what my boyfriend ended up getting, dare we say it was our favorite moussaka out of any Greek restaurant in America thus far (coming from New Yorkers frequently visiting Astoria). It was broiled to perfection to give the cheese/béchamel layer a light crunch at the top and maintaining that richness underneath. The eggplant and ground meat were well seasoned. I really enjoyed my stuffed peppers as well (rice pilaf, ground beef, and feta on top), the tomato broth/sauce gave a nice sweet and savory flavor with the meal. Finally, a superb pistachio baklava, 10/10. Super impressed with what Miami had to offer for Mediterranean.

    Meraki is a beautiful restaurant with truly authentic and delicious Greek food! And I'm Greek, so…read moreyou can take my word for it ;) While it may seem slightly off the beaten path right off Flagler, it's very conveniently located by the Knight Center metro stop and a very easy walk from the bridge. Also, the atmosphere they've created both indoors and outdoors really draws you in: beautiful foliage, gorgeous decor, and inviting decor. They play amazing Greek music to set the mood at a very reasonable volume so you can still hear your party. I've been for lunch during Miami spice and recently for dinner. Everything I've had was delicious with tons of flavor and huge portions. Both times I took enough leftovers for another meal! I especially love their zucchini fritters and their spread plate. All their spreads are so fresh and flavorful but their hummus especially was soo good. My husband and I shared the meat platter for two for dinner and enjoyed everything on it - the loukaniko was especially delicious! For dessert, you can't miss the galatoboureko, a sweet custard dessert with the flaky phyllo dough you know and love from baklava. Service was fast and friendly. Highly recommend for a lunch date or dinner date and it's super versatile: great for friends, families or romantic dates. Don't miss this beautiful restaurant in downtown!

    Oh my God where do I start! We had the best date night. This place is so amazing. I went with low…read moreexpectations given my knowledge and experience with mediterranean food in miami: small portions, bland taste. This is completely different and out of this world! The food is super tasty, super fresh, portions are adequate without paying a steep price. The salad: we got a greek salad, it was way bigger than what we expected, the tomatos and feta cheese were delicious and my fiance thought that this was the star dish. Its not your basic salad. The waitress prepared it right infront of us and cut fresh tomatos and veggies on a station. Saganaki: must order, this was my favorite dish. Even though its such a simple ingredient (cheese) the flavor is crazy, they torched it and heated it infront of us and we couldn't stop eating it Souvlaki: the chicken was delicious, we got two full skewers, they serve it with fries and their special sauce which is so delicious! Even the fries were delicious and well seasoned! Octopus: this was mind blowing, especially with the meraki sauce. This is technically an appetizer but feels like a whole dish!! And its only for $24 whereas other places tend to overcharge! We had planned to order more but by that time we were full. The menu is rich and there is still so much to try. We will be heading here more frequently and sharing with you our dishes!! 5 stars well deserved! Instagram: @ri_reviews961

    Dude! Wow, so good!…read moreWe got here at like 6 pm and it was jumpin.' Great, great food (try the Grilled Octopus appy) I had the snapper which was charred to perfection. Service is solid, and the prices are fair. By the time we were leaving (around 7:30 pm)... there was a line of 100 people trying to get in!

Let's talk lamb chops, because these are the showstoppers. Perfectly seasoned, beautifully charred, and impossibly tender, they hit that magical sweet spot between rustic Greek comfort and polished steakhouse execution. Every bite is rich, juicy, and layered with flavor -- the kind of dish that makes you slow down just to make it last longer. And then there are the baby back ribs, which honestly deserve their own standing ovation. Fall‑off‑the‑bone tender with a glaze that balances savory, sweet, and smoky, they're the unexpected MVP of the menu. You don't go to a Greek taverna expecting ribs to steal the spotlight... but here we are. They're that good. The vibe is exactly what you want from a beloved local spot -- lively, warm, and buzzing with energy. Service is friendly, fast, and genuinely welcoming, the kind that makes you feel like a regular even on your first visit. Greek Islands Taverna delivers big flavors, generous portions, and a dining experience that feels celebratory from start to finish. If you're craving lamb chops that melt in your mouth or ribs that redefine what ribs should be, this place is an absolute must. Yamas

    I've been going here for years. The Food has always been exceptional , the finest Greek food…read moreavailable anywhere! The service is as Bad as the Food is good! The last two times I've gone with my family and ordered the special for 4 or more at $45.00 a head. They bring you every Greek specialty in different platters(Dips, Meats, appetizers, seafood, etc) which is excellent and always plenty to take home. The first time the waiter didn't just have time and wants you in and out but had plenty of time to add an 18% gratuity ($55.00) before pushing us out. This week we went for my daughter's birthday (mentioned, received nothing but again that gratuity over $50) Food was excellent, never saw the waiter, big platters of food that we all shared out of dessert plates for each of us, the food kept coming , the plates were never changed to a dinner plate, we had our whole dinner on dessert plates, food all over the table (2 small children) never cleaned up, I asked for more napkins and a stack of thin cocktail napkins were put on our table. Needless to say I will never go back foe their 'delicious ' food or service or $350 check.

    Went here for my birthday celebration because I wanted a different dinner!…read more EVERY SINGLE DISH we had was AMAZING. I don't say this lightly. I would rate the FOOD 10 stars if it was possible. The calamari, Greek salad, chicken kebab, steak kebab, shrimp appetizer, and drinks were out of this world phenomenal. Someone I was with also mentioned that the roast chicken is the best roast chicken they have ever had in their lives. As for the ambience, if you choose to be inside during the bellydancing show- be prepared to be overstimulated and not be able to hear anything that your table was saying to you. Make sure you're in the mood for extremely loud music and chaos all over. if you're in the headspace, it's a great time! If you're not in the mood for the madness, eat outside! I literally can't wait to go back to this restaurant... PS obviously beach parking can be complicated but they have valet for five bucks, which is really helpful!
