Great food! We got take out and did a buffet style meal for our wedding! It was so good!
came in on Saturday for lunch with a large party of 25 people. The food was amazing, and our server handled everything exceptionally well. Despite the size of our group, she delivered everyone's meals correctly and provided outstanding service throughout. She was attentive, kept our water glasses topped up, and was especially accommodating with all the hot water requests.
The roast lamb was delicious as always—tender, juicy, and full of flavor. We truly appreciated the excellent service and quality of the food. We will definitely be returning with our large group again.
The only downside was the constant coughing going on around us by the man but everything else was fantastic. Overall, it was a great experience, and we look forward to coming back

Had a fantastic experience at Yiannis Greek Taverna! The portion sizes are incredibly generous, and everything we tried had that comforting, home-cooked feel. The soutzoukakia were rich and flavorful, and the lamb chops were perfectly cooked — tender, juicy, and absolutely delicious.
Such a warm, satisfying meal overall. Highly recommend if you’re craving authentic Greek food with great value!

My favorite Greek restaurant.
Highly recommend the vegetarian moussaka and lamb shoulder (husband's favorite).
Ekmek is also delicious.

I ordered through Uber Eats, and dealing with this issue has been a nightmare. First, I waited over an hour for my food. When it arrived, the chicken was raw inside. They clearly had the heat too high, so the outside was dried out, but the inside wasn’t cooked. On top of that, I had to request a refund through the app, and it’s not even easy to do. When I called the restaurant, they put me on hold for 10 minutes and then told me to call back in an hour and a half because they were too busy to handle the fact that they sent unsafe food. Now I can’t eat any of it because it’s all contaminated.
Great food and great service. Hubby and I shared th Greek platter for 2. Everything was so flavorful. It came with 2 chicken skewers roast lamb Kalamata collages rice and roast potato and Greek salad
Portions were very generous. The lamb was so tender and the chicken souvlaki was so moist. Greek salad was fresh and crispy. The potatoes and rice were very good
The service was excellent. The place was packed. We had come before going to a show. The staff worked well as a team. Most definitely would go back
Can’t believe I’ve never been here before, splendid souvlaki platter and great service

I love greek food and this place is a new favorite!! The food was really good and reasonable for the price. My server naman was super nice and made my experience there enjoyable :)
The food is always so good when I come, it never misses. The servers are definitely young but so professional and fast on their feet even when they are alone. Definitely my go to Greek spot.

As a Greek, and a server for 15 years in Greek restaurants, i hate to put this place down but honestly wouldn’t come back again. Food is very greasy. The dip combo (Tarama, Melitzano, scordalia) was a total miss, it was so full of oil and they all tasted the same, a greasy salty lemon oregano mess. My tongue was burning from all the salt and we barely ate it and were still charged $21 for the dip combo. Oil from the deep fryer was old and needs to be changed as the calamari was very brown on the outside but inside was borderline raw and was on the verge of tasting bitter. Saganaki cheese was cut very thin, it turned into crunchy cheese like a cracker when it came to the table. Roast lamb was more like braised lamb and it tasted very gamy with a strong musky skunk taste/smell, like it was so bad I couldn’t eat it and my dinner plate was floating in.. you guessed it, more oil. Truly disappointing, especially the Tarama and the Scordalia dip as I was really looking forward coming here and tasting the old flavours my yiayia used to make. Service was total miss as well. Servers are young, still in school, standing around the computer by the bar talking about personal stuff and absolutely not attentive to the tables. No one cared to do a quality check in between courses or the fact we didn’t eat half of our food. The bill came out to $120 of disappointment. I did not leave a tip.
Edit: woke up at 2am with pain in the guts from the food.
I have been here 2 times and they were wildly different. First time was lunch. Food was good, service was professional and price ok. Second time was horridly disappointing. We ordered roast Lamb, a souvlaki dinner and Cod special. Lamb was not bad, souvlaki was extremely tough and cod was soggy and cold. But worst was sides. Plain parboiled rice, undercooked and flavourless potatoes, frozen superstore carrots and lousy salad. Service was not bad but forgot things and unresponsive. Place busy and crowded but no line ups. Servers looked like they just got out of High school and a bit lost. Can't recommend
