Went here with a table of 6 and had a lovely time. A perfect blend of quality food, stylish decor (look at that outdoor patio!!), and relaxed yet attentive service.We ordered a few things from each section of the menu and shared among ourselves. The pita was fresh and perfect, hummus tasty, entrees a decent portion for multiple mouths. The cocktails were fun and balanced. Everything was played stylishly and looked and tasted great.I highly recommend coming here and ordering as much as you want--you cannot go wrong!

Seated at a two top table near a wall and felt very extremely crowded. Constant traffic next to the table due to location and felt like I was on top of the diner behind me. Had no place to put a purse/jacket. I also felt like the food being more lavorful the last time I dined there but overall we did have a very nice dinner!

Fantastic! Every dish was perfectly prepared, seasoned, and presented! From the fresh baked pita and house made hummus with wild mushrooms, to the steak the sea bass, and labneh cheesecake-wonderful. We're still talking today about how good yesterday's meal was! The attention to detail in use of a variety of Middle Eastern spices together with quality ingredients makes Tavi our favorite restaurant in Covington! Highly recommend.

Food was delicious! Restaurant was referred to buy my son, it was definitely worth it! Very authentic Middle Eastern food, the flavors in seasonings were excellent. Will definitely be returning to try the other dishes on their menu.

Every bite we had was delicious! The lamb kabobs were spiced just right and had a nice smoked flavor. We had Brussels sprouts that were the best we have ever had. The pita and mushroom hummus were delicious. Great service!
Outstanding meal at Tavi. Needed a reservation because the restaurant was packed. They had our resv. on file and seated us promptly. Great craft cocktail menu. Food was outstanding. We have several mezze dishes, a small plate, two entrees, and the babka dessert. Everything was fantastic, highlighted by the warm, fresh pita. I'd put the food at Tavi up against any restaurant on the Northshore. It's excellent. We'll be back.

The wife and I are here last year for Valentine's Day and it was wonderful so we tried again this Valentine's Day and we're very disappointed. I hate that this happened but it was night and day, I don't think we will go back again. We started out arriving at 6p and didn't get any bread for almost 30 min and the appetizer never came out . I ordered the lamb chop special and they had barely any meat on them . We are very disappointed!

This was our third visit to Tavi. We love the atmosphere and food is always delicious. I had the date tart and mango sorbet for dessert. The mango sorbet was the only thing that I didn't really like out of the whole meal. It was just a weird combination. However, the smoked Labneh was delicious as was the crispy halloumi. We had the Valentine's day special, which was the lamb chops and they did not disappoint. Additionally, the service was outstanding. Our server was really prompt and so kind.

Service was good. The fried chicken hummus is always delicious. I've had the hanger steak 3 different times and the first time it was great that's why I got it a second time. The second time it wasn't as flavorful with the spices and so when I went back a 3rd time I got it again because I enjoyed it so much the first time. The third time it was so tough and chewy that I wouldn't even try again. I was so disappointed. I'd stick to the chicken hummus. The portion of that is good enough and is pretty fulfilling.

My group of five woman were very pleased with our experience. We shared everything and got to taste many different plates. The food was wonderful-thanks chef Matt, our server was knowledgeable and on her game.
