This was my first time here and I was blown away! The food was amazing. I had the salmon (melts in your mouth), Greek salad, and fruit. Because it was my first experience here, the general manager Bill gave me a sampler of all the dips, breads, and veggies as I couldn’t decide. Very nice guy! I loved everything, couldn’t eat it all, but definitely wanted to. My favorite dip was the whipped feta with honey, absolutely delicious! The staff are very friendly and helpful. The service was quick (waited less than 10 minutes for my food). Highly recommend this location. I will definitely stop here again on my way through the area.

Have been to other Taziki locations and have always enjoyed their food. While maybe not truly authentic, they still do a good job with quality and flavor. The staff was friendly and even though it was mid-day, a staff member came out regularly to clean tables. You order and they bring the food to you. I had the pimento cheese app and my friend had the whipped feta app. Hands down the whipped feta was the clear winner. I had the grilled chicken pesto gyro. The chicken was a little dry, but the flavor was great. We would come back to this restaurant.

We love Taziki’s because everything is fresh and delicious. They are very careful and thoughtful of food allergies here too and that is hard to find! I can get gluten free and my niece can get dairy free too and we know that they take great care to be sure there is no cros contamination. I am not that allergic, but my niece is and this makes it one of the few places we can eat out safely.

Nice casual atmosphere with tons of Greek and Mediterranean dishes to choose from. The Mediterranean salad with their balsamic dressing was excellent and there are so many ways to enjoy it with plenty of meat and seafood add ons. The windows are tinted to create a cozy and cool atmosphere which was especially inviting in the scorching heat of the evening we visited. Highly recommend this restaurant! ❤️

This is by my office and it’s one of my favorite places to pick up lunch. The lamb gyro is delicious and chopped really well.

Excellent food with fresh new menu items frequently popping up! The lamb burger with pimento cheese is delish and my favorite side is the cucumbers, onions & tomatoes! I find their catering service unequalled in town when it comes to presentation and quality! I highly recommend Amy and Bill when placing a large order! They do not disappoint! Their staff works hard to please and I promise you will not be disappointed!

I went here on a Saturday evening and the service was very friendly and welcoming. The restaurant was clean and the condiment bar was well-stocked. The menu here is not huge, but it gets the job done and offers a variety of veggie and meat options. I would venture to say that this spot is not super authentic to the cuisine, but it is still very delicious and a good place to go for a change to the normal restaurants you may frequent in the area. The lamb gyro was well seasoned, the pita was soft even though it was toasted fully, and the veggies inside were crisp, but nicely cooked. The basmati rice is lovely! It has great flavor. The chips look like regular ruffles, but they are super yummy. Honestly I’m usually not a chip person, but I liked them a lot! I felt like the price of the meal was fair for the portions overall and the protein choice I chose. I had a great time and I’ll be back when I’m in town!

Our first visit. Very impressed! The location was easy access and there was plenty of parking. Inside, the restaurant was fresh and clean. Good seating selection and outdoor patio seating. Staff was friendly and helpful. My wife needs oil free vegan options and they made her some. I got their Friday special “spaghetti” and it was wonderful! It was a great experience. We’ll be back!

I love Taziki’s in general. Presentation, Service & Atmosphere was good, as always. There were 4 of us, their food looked good (chicken sandwich & and weekend pasta). We had the whipped feta with honey for an appetizer, and it had more of a tangy flavor than usual, it wasnt as good, but we will try it again. It is one of our favorites. This was the first time that it ever tasted off. My biggest complaint would have been that my salmon was partly cooked, the thinner end, but when I got to the thicker end, it wasn’t flaky. It looked translucent, but I had eaten the greek salad and half of the salmon, and I should have brought it to their attention and normally would, but I did not so that is partly my fault. No one checked on us, or I would have taken the opportunity. That is my reason for giving 3 stars for service. We were in a hurry, and I did not want to slow the other 3 people down. We will return. I won’t order the salmon ( ), but I will order the weekend pasta, which is available Friday through Sunday. We were there mid afternoon on a Saturday, and it wasn’t crowded, a few occupied tables, and plenty of parking.

This is my second time in the last few years to eat here and both times the food was good. When you walk in the place from an ambiance is a little underwhelming and impersonal but clean and organized. You walk up to the counter area and there was a menu sitting on a podium to scan through before placing your order. The Counter grilling area is still completed enclosed I am assuming from the COVID period BUT it really makes the environment feeling really muted and unexciting. There is a small opening near the end that says order here and you place the order. We ordered the Grilled Lamb Feast and the Grilled Beef Feast. Price was around $13-$15 for each plate. While the portions are fair and probably the right size for dietary reasons it is a little smaller and a little more expensive than most comparable places (Sahara, Mr. Kabob) and because of the full enclosure just feels less personal and more like a transaction. The meals came out and both were cooked well and tasted great but as I said before portion size was a little smaller than expected especially with the name of Feast attached to it. This feels like an Americanized version of a more personalized small business version and while the food is good it falls a little short compared to the others I named. It does have better hours than Sahara so if you have a craving for Mediterranean food and it’s after 5p you will get a good meal.
