Yianni's Taverna

I don’t normally rate / review salads but their Greek salad was the tastiest I’ve ever had. I ordered it through DoorDash and it came fresh, covered in this amazing oregano blend, just enough oil for flavor and wasn’t drenched. The cheese was so good on it too. I devoured the whole thing. I want another soon lol hands down the best

The food is always fabulous. Had the lamb shank and it was so tender and flavorful. Also get the baklava; it tastes great and is a huge portion.

We visited Yanni's with high expectations due to the great reviews, and while the ambience was very nice and inviting, our experience with the food left something to be desired.

The menu offers a nice variety of Greek dishes, which is great for those looking to explore different flavors. We ordered the lamb and the moussaka, both of which had good flavor, but unfortunately, temperature issues took away from the enjoyment. The lamb was tasty but served just warm, while the moussaka, though hot on the outside, was disappointingly cold inside. I brought the issue to the staff, and they addressed it promptly, but by then, the experience had already been disappointing.

The atmosphere and service were pleasant, but the kitchen needs to ensure dishes are served at the right temperature from the start to truly deliver on the potential of their food. If they can fix that, Yanni's could be a fantastic spot for Greek cuisine.

Very authentic Greek cuisine in the Lehigh Valley, there is nothing really quite like it. They do not cut corners, dishes are flavorful and reasonably priced. Saganaki is good, lamb dishes are good, great fish. Good selection, good ambiance. Wine list is also very authentic and tries to respect their Mediterranean origins. Kudos to Yannis. I will be coming back many times.

This was our first time at Yianni's, and it was amazing the baked feta and tuna tartar was perfect for starters, the salmon and lamb shank was absolutely perfect in every way cooked perfect, spiced in a perfect blend that didn't take away from the actual main dish, the baklava and can't pronounce the custard pastry's were also extremely good. We will be revisiting very soon

I've been here for both dinning and happy hours. Such a good place. Food is amazing. The drinks from the happy hour menu are delightful. The atmosphere including the music is great. Waiters are very nice and attentive. Favorite plate is the fried zucchini. Favorite drink is the Yianni old fashion.

We love Yianni's Taverna! We only go a few times a year for our special occasions. We enjoyed their Valentine's Day meal and had a wonderful time with our server, John. We are already counting down the days until our next visit (although we might need to become regulars so we are automatically seated in John's section).

Quality and presentation of dishes are very close to the food we have enjoyed in Greece itself. On a footnote, I give 3 stars to the atmosphere since I personally prefer well illuminated tables.
