We also got the Chicken Shawarma (top in the photo) an Chicken Kofta (bottom in the photo) with cucumber salad. Both were absolutely delicious! The service was great - friendly, helpful, and prompt. The decor inside was beautiful- the mural is superb!
We’ll definitely be back.“

“Second time dining. Excellent service. The food is over the top. We shared the Chef's Special eggplant appetizer and it is simply outstanding! The pita is so fresh! For dinner I had the special that night which was an authentic Kabab and there was no leftovers. We also try their varieties of rice which is is delicious and we have jasmine rice nightly. Finally their baklava is the best we have ever tested. This dining establishment is indeed special.“

“Care about quality food...Best of the best...“

“Amazing experience!! I go here RELIGIOUSLY, no other restaurant compares. I’ve tried other places but always come back to Taza. Their food is fresh, delicious and have a variety of options, not to mention with the best price. All the workers are super nice and are VERY generous with their servings, especially for the bowl. They truly care about their customers happiness. They closed for a few days for renovations and I swear I was having withdrawals. But 10/10, I HIGHLY recommend this place.

“BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE

I placed my order last week and it should have been delivered on Thursday due to the 2nd day air shipping. UPS took an additional 5 DAYS to deliver. I reached out to the customer service and they IMMEDIATELY sent me a new shipment. They responded in a timely manner and were extremely courteous and kind. This is my first time ordering from Hummus Fit, and I was influenced by 5-6 fitness influencers I follow on social media.“

“Not our first time visiting this restaurant, and just like prior times it was great. The food, the service, the atmosphere...
For appetizers we had roasted beet arugula salad and kubdari (Imeruli style beef pie), and even though they both are simple dishes, they were delicious. Khinkali were superb, and chashushuli (braised beef with spices) just melted in the mouth.
Monday night and the place is packed, so if you want to get a table you better call or go online and make a reservation.“

“I always order from Greek Cove, the food is excellent and portions are big. I order a half tray of the grilled chicken this weekend and it came with salad , tzatziki and pitas ..there was so much grilled chicken that my guest all took home leftovers! Also is was delicious!“

“Ever since I found this place, its the ONLY place around work I’ll go to for lunch. I once had something pop up immediately after picking up my greek salad there, and only had a chance to eat 7 hours later, after it had turned into a soggy mess. You know what: IT STILL BANGED! Deeply loyal, 10/10, two thumbs up, enthusiastically recommend“

“Had gyro from here a few times. Im a guy who is very difficult to impress, but this gyro was different. The food is really good quality and made fresh. The workers have good morals and respect for the customers. Would recommend to anyone who is looking for a gyro addiction. 10/10“

“Ordered via grubhub several times, never been in person (yet). This is the best Greek food i have ever had in my entire life. The gyros and the grilled chicken are very tender and moist, some of the best cooked meat i have ever seen -especially for delivered food! The portion sizes are enormous, so be prepared to eat half and save the rest for lunch the next day. Get the meat platters, for sides skip the grilled vegetables and get the rice - it's better, and get the Greek salad, it's better than the house salad. The tzatziki is super fresh tasting and the pitas are soft and warm. Overall incredibly good food. Especially the meat.“
