Taverna Cretekou offers authentic Greek cuisine in a warm and welcoming setting that feels like a home-cooked meal. The restaurant features a variety of hearty dishes, including an appetizer sampler, Greek salad, and lamb shishkebob, all made with care and flavor. The atmosphere combines a cozy, lively vibe with a slightly rustic charm, enhanced by white plastered walls, a false fireplace hearth reminiscent of Greek tavernas, and a lighted tree. The staff is friendly and attentive, though service can vary with new servers. Dietary restrictions are carefully handled, making it a popular spot for many. Whether dining indoors or on the lovely patio, this family-run restaurant promises a genuine Greek experience that transports diners to Greece with its casual yet classy touch.
