★★★★★ 5.0 Dora O'Donnell · Jan 2026

My aunt is a regular here and I’ve been a few times. Our meals are always delicious and the service is always fast and friendly. The lamb kebab was a standout as well as the mezze sampler platter. Best to go as a group and share. We also loved the traditional Greek salad. We’ll be back!

★★★★★ 5.0 Culturetravel · Aug 2025

Great authentic Greek food, superb service by Nick and his team, warm welcoming ambiance. Sea bass was the star but it was smaller than we thought. Chicken, moussaka, appetizer platter were all delightful. We came while it was early; very enjoyable for family.

★★★★★ 5.0 Dimitri Stavlas · Mar 2026

I had a great experience at Taverna Cretekou. The food was authentic and delicious, and the atmosphere really makes you feel like you’re dining in Greece. Everything tasted fresh and well prepared, and the service was excellent. A special shoutout to Yianni for taking such good care of us—he was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. If you’re looking for great Greek food and a welcoming environment, I highly recommend this place. We’ll definitely be back!

★★★★★ 5.0 Jack Skandalis · Mar 2026

I had a wonderful experience at Taverna Cretekou! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the beautiful garden patio makes it feel like you’ve stepped into a little corner of Greece. The food was fresh, flavorful, and authentically prepared. We especially loved the Greek classics like spanakopita and the lamb dishes - everything was perfectly cooked and full of flavor.

★★★★★ 5.0 Shayleen Stuto · Aug 2025

We had the best experience here. The manager, Nikko, and team were so welcoming and made us feel like family. The food was AMAZING and fresh. I wish I could have taken the basil olive oil with me.
