Greek To-Go Taverna — Restaurant in Quezon City

It's all Greek to me. Dropped by an hour before closing time at 8pm. The store is decorated in the iconic blue and white colors of Greece (The colors of the flag). Place has a simple but functional table settings. Took me a while to order since I'm not familiar with the cuisine. Truly appreciate the owner for telling us a bit about the food and guiding us to what's good. Turns out this place is the only restaurant in Manila certified by the ambassador as serving authentic Greek Cuisine (The rest are classified as Mediterranean). Beef Souvlaki meal with Greek salad, pita bread and tzatziki dip is a good choice to start things off. A recipe from Santorini you have to try is the Shrimp Saganaki. The orange based sauce pairs well with the Pita bread. Keftedes meatballs needs to be paired with a tzatsiki yougurt dip which has a little spicy kick to it. Spanakopita baked spinach pie with feta filo pastry is so good. Baklava rolls for dessert and thats it. Olympus tea, which is a herbal tea with Olympus flowers is just a perfect drink with your meal. Ask for hot water to refill your cup. Haven't tried the lamb or the Moussaka yet but thats a story for another day. Given the ingredients used, price points is a bit above the average. It can be a bit hard to find adequate parking space in this narrow one way street where the store is located. Its off the beaten path but then again sometimes thats where you truly find the really...

Surprises are very much welcome, and this hidden gem is one of the best places that I discovered as I walked around Anonas. This little taverna - a Greek description of a small cafe - is located in a busy spot in Quezon City. Having tucked in a building shields this place from all the noises coming from the nearby road.

I am not familiar with Greek cuisine, but I've had a taste of Mediterranean dishes. I was fortunate enough to meet one of the owners who's a Filipina married to a Greek national. There she told me their story of their love for anything Greek which led to the birth of Greek To Go.

They serve authentic Greek food with reasonable prices. Everything was flavorful and fresh! This just made me want to go to Greece to understand experience more of...

Thank you so much for the wonderful dining experience on my birthday!

My best friend and I truly enjoyed the meals. What we loved most was the aroma from the herbs used in the food. We found the dishes to be very healthy and definitely something "Greek to us", as it was our first time trying Greek cuisine. I especially appreciated the owner’s warm and polite demeanor, and how she shared the story behind the dishes, which were passed down to her as a cherished family tradition in Greece through her Greek husband. The staff were also very helpful and accommodating, especially in answering our inquiries.

We will definitely visit again.

Maraming salamat po ulit...
