The Greek Taverna — Restaurant in Newcastle-Maitland

Am I back in Greece !! or what.. I had it in my head... i just wanted to 'go Greek' this weekend. Well its lucky we did. It was the quickest 15,000 km trip back to Greece in a while.... From the table setting to the exquisite authentic home cooked Greek food. They even had my favourite Greek beer as well as a variety of imported Greek wines. It seemed that we were virtually sitting in Plaka in downtown Athens.... I wanted to start the evening with everything on the Meze menu but Liz held me back a bit. We kicked off with the dips followed by the Horiatiki salad, Whitebait and the 'flash' fried Calamari, which was to die for !!!! A glass or two of wine then into the home made Lamb Souvlaki. It had to be the most tenderest Lamb I have had for a while... Neil tells me that they only use the best lamb rump and it's smashed with lemon, olive oil and herbs.... This is one you have to try.... Unfortunately, I didn't leave enough room for desert BUT in the end, I couldn't resist the home made honey Loukoumades... I cant wait to get back there again to get into the Saganaki, the Octopus Skara, the Baklava... the list goes on and on.... Do i recommend the Greek Taverna, well I certainly do, and if you don't get down there, you'r missing out big time. Keep in mind they are only opened on weekends at...

We were the first to arrive and were greeted with prompt friendly service. They catered to our requests and the food was amazing! We had the banquet option and I would highly recommend this option as you get a good selection of different dishes. Unfortunately I cannot recommend the dessert, as we ordered it and were warned it may take a little while, waited for over an hour, but it never came, so we paid and left. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. Greek music played all night and there was a dance floor there if you are...

Absolutely love it here is was our first time and it didn’t disapoint. If you want authentic Greek food then this is the place to go we loved it that much that we booked to go back to one of there Greek nights. Every dish we had was superb 👌 nothing was too much trouble really great to see the Greek community and the sense that everyone knows everyone. Seriously can't recommend The Greek Tavern enough.
