The Auburn Taverna

We went on a Friday night and it was busy. The wait was about 30 minutes and it was well worth the wait. The food was fresh and delicious. The portion sizes were large. We had to get take out boxes. The food was just a good the second day. We had the grilled chicken, meatballs and rice, Greek salad, and a side of amazing potatoes. The wait staff was great as well. We Love this place. We will be regulars for sure. Thank you!!

If you’re looking for a great place to eat, I highly recommend The Auburn Taverna! The lamb chops were incredibly tender and the marinade was truly chef’s kiss worthy. Every bite was packed with flavor. The atmosphere was casual, welcoming, and comfortable—perfect for a relaxed meal. The service was excellent, and the food absolutely lived up to the legacy of the Auburn Cafe. It’s always nice to see a place honor a local favorite while still delivering such a great dining experience. Definitely worth checking out!

Elissa here! We had been to Auburn taverna I think last month and forgot to leave a review until now. The location is awesome, the restaurant and vibe is clean and inviting. The owner and her family are very nice people! And best of all, they accomodate people like me who can't eat gluten! I had a really amazing chicken gyro on a GLUTEN FREE PITA! First time in a long time I could actually eat a gyro so I was very happy. The tzaziki sauce was delicious as were the potatoes. The service was a little slow and we had to ask for utensils and napkins but that was a very minor issue. I can't wait to go back and order another gluten free gyro again!

My wife is 2nd generation Greek so we know good Greek food and Auburn is one of the best Greek restaurants we have been to in a long time. The lemon rice soup and grape leaves are clearly homemade and wonderful. I had the village salad and it was excellent and a generous portion size. Jocelyn, our server, was excellent - friendly, attentive, and helpful. The downside (and this may keep us from coming back) is that if having conversation is a desired feature of your meal, it will be difficult. To the owners - you have done a great job assembling a menu and staff and creating an inviting decor. Put some sound absorption up in the ceiling or on the walls so your guests can hear one another when the restaurant is busy (as you deserve to be based on the food and service).

Food was OK. Not as good as the original location. I had the gyro bowl and the meat was not that good. I don’t think I’ll go back here. My friend had the octopus and didn’t like it.
