Taziki's Mediterranean Cafe - Columbia

Love this place. The signature pasta is my favorite and the chicken roll ups....

Nice fast casual restaurant in an upscale outdoor shopping strip. Food is generally good to very good. However they tend to run out of some menu items if you go towards evening. That's annoying but otherwise a good experience.

The food always comes out hot and fresh. Service is polite. Atmosphere, they don’t provide trash cans to throw away your trash, so you leave your finished plates in the table. When busy the tables get neglected and it sits while you’re eating.

Outstanding customer service! Food is consistently good as well.

We had a wonderful lunch at Taziki’s! I ordered the grilled veggie pita with cucumber and tomato salad, along with chips on the side. The veggies in the pita were perfectly cooked and seasoned. My husband had the grilled chicken breast platter, which came with roasted potatoes and a salad. Everything was great.

The service was excellent, definitely a 5/5, and the staff was quick. The vibe of the restaurant was great—relaxed and inviting. The location is convenient too, making it a perfect spot for a casual yet satisfying meal.Highly recommend this place for anyone craving tasty Mediterranean food.

Update on 5/26/25. I went this afternoon about 4:30, havent been back in Columbia for a year so I decided to go in and eat. What do I see,, one of the cooks eating his salad from a to go container in the food prep area. I believe there is health code violations to that. Been coming here for years. In the past three months, the food has gone from worse to even worse. Wilted black lettuce, I think, couldn't even tell what it was, undercooked meat, and too many spices. I literally just threw up after two bites.

The pimento in the Mediterranean salad was so fresh & deliciously sweet (as well as the entire salad) and my husband's fish sandwich made me want another bite! The one dish I miss is the pimento cheese & chicken salad...hopefully it'll reappear. Your pita chips are the best!

Idk who seasoned the salmon today but omg I'm going to get some for dinner it was perfect in every way ?

Tried this establishment for the first time, and I was really impressed. I ordered the Chicken Gyro and Pasta, and their Mediterranean Salad. The Gyro was very flavorful, the chicken was seasoned well, and the sauce made it even more tasty. The Mediterranean Salad was also delicious, the dressing with the salad was delicious!

By myself, a single diner - Walked in at 1105. Walked out at 1155! It took 40 min to get my chicken gyro. I watched as people who came in after me got their food, ate and left before I ever got mine.
Food was tasty but not worth ridiculously long wait.

Food was good. When it was full, very loud inside. When most people had left much more pleasing experience. Even as hot as it was outside, it was a good temperature inside

Ordered chicken Kabab. The spice definitely was not that of Kabab but was not bad for a grilled chicken. A bit dry but the taste was alright for a grilled chicken.
Would recommend adding Kabab spices/marinade, or just sell it as a grilled chicken.
