Good food and wide variety of dishes in the vegetarian meze. However somewhat expensive and prices have recently increased. Some menus show old prices still.

The food was satisfactory. Small portions for the price we pay. The service was exceptional and professional. It was annoying that the radio played instead of only Greek music.

My wife and I called in on spec Saturday evening 13th January 24, while on a weekend visit to Harrogate, although the restaurant was busy we were welcomed warmly and seated very quickly. We had Tzatziki between us to start, my wife had the Greek sea bass and I had the chicken Gyros for mains. Both meals were excellent and ample portions. Service was excellent and staff very friendly and attentive. We travelled up from Derby for the weekend, but I'm confident that if we lived more local to Harrogate we would be regular visitors to the Taverna.

Came here New Years Eve after reading great reviews, fairly busy but we were seated straight away. The food was basic and I thought it was over priced, my partner had halloumi sticks, chips and salad and I had the Gyros. For nearly £20 each dish plus drinks etc very expensive. Sadly wouldn't eat here again.

Great afternoon in this cosy place. Lovely friendly welcome by the young chap. Drinks came quickly. Food amazing. I ordered the Chicken Slouvaki and my wife ordered the Chicken Gyro from the lunch menu. Why do you always wish you ordered what your partner ordered? I was still hungry so dessert ordered too. We had red wine to finish so it would be rude not to. Baklava arrived and my Orange Pie. Both amazing! Thank you! We'll be back. Maybe even tomorrow as staying over for two nights!

On a cold and wet December Monday we ventured into The Taverna. We were greeted by a friendly and helpful host and that was just the beginning......it has a relaxed and friendly atmosphere and an extensive menu......the beef moussaka was the best I have ever eaten. We would be delighted to return here if we are in the area or you could always open a restaurant near us in Oxfordshire 😁

I ate here for my birthday. Unfortunately, my appetite only allowed for one course. Fortunately, it was a case of quality over quantity with the Chicken Emilio. It was rich without being overpowering, and the portion size was generous enough.

We had an evening meal at Taverna on a wet Wednesday night & it was absolutely superb. I had the feta filo parcels with sesame seeds & honey & my husband had the lamb koftas. All came in a reasonable time & lovely & hot. For mains my husband had the chargrilled chicken breast stuffed with spinach & feta, rice & tsatziki & I had the chicken breast with onions & mushrooms in a creamy brandy sauce with chips which was to die for. So rich & decadent! I somehow managed to fit in a dessert of baklava. I'm so glad I did as it was the best baklava I've ever tasted. Sweet, sticky & unctuous. Then to finish an Irish coffee. Throughout the meal the staff were polite & attentive. To be honest I don't think I could fault anything other than the fact they are not on my doorstep at home, so I can't come back whenever I feel like it, for a fabulous meal! Definitely highly recommend. Thank you.

Reply - That is not the truth. The waitress did NOT move the table until I myself, and my mother told her that we refuse to sit on separate tables. Appalling that you would lie about this. It is of no relevance to me that other diners did not complain about their dishes. OUR food was very bad. It does not make me feel any better that you clarify the pastitsio was replaced, it should not have been cold the first time. Very disappointing that you'd use this time to make excuses, rather than just apologise. Especially for such an important day. You have solidified my decision to never come back to Taverna. -- I booked here for my Mum's 60th birthday. What a poor experience. We had not been here before, but I booked based off of the positive reviews, travelling from Leeds. We started off on the wrong foot as the waitress tried to seat our table of 6 on two separate tables with a large pillar separating the two tables. I was shocked that this was a serious suggestion, and had to tell her that this was obviously unacceptable. The restaurant wasn't even busy or full? I wish we'd left then. The wine was lovely but everything else was disappointing. The kleftikos were almost inedibly salty, I passed this information on and nothing was done about it. Both the kleftikos and the stifados were watery, I've never had it served like that before. The stifado was under-seasoned and one of them had barely any meat. The rice was not hot. The pastitsio was cold in the middle and we had to send it back. We saw someone at another table with the same issue. We were offered Greek salad for the table, but it turns out this was NOT complimentary, it cost an extra £8.45 - it is in fact a main course dish - I find it shocking to add on a whole main without disclosing this. I absolutely would not return or recommend. Even though we let them know we were not happy, they did not take anything off the bill. Put a very bad note on an otherwise lovely day.

An odd place. Arrived to a fairly empty lunch service with loud dance music playing. An odd choice for a Greek lunch shift. Staff appeared bored and disinterested. When seated one side plate and knife were dirty. Loud odd music remained throughout. Food was quick but bland and mousaka appeared to be reheated. Portions were small and over priced.

Looks a little pricey compared to other similar restaurants, but the quality of the food justifies it in the end.
