Taverna Cretekou - Alexandria

Great meal in Alexandria just out of D.C. greek food that reminded me of home even though i am not from greece. Home cooked, not to expensive, charming place and staff

Best Greek food I've ever had in the US. Fresh and incredible. They have a huge range of authentic dishes and all 5 of us tried something different and all were fantastic. My only regret is that i didnt leave enough room for dessert. The sampler dinner was amazing and so filling... we loved it. The decor is great and the staff is friendly and attentive. We loved it! Looking forward to our next visit!

My boyfriend and I went to dinner at Taverna Cretekou last week and we are STILL talking about how good it was. The atmosphere is amazing. Very well thought out, romantic, relaxing and just overall fun. The indoors feels like you are in a true Greek cave, but we sat outdoors in the garden. In the Garden they have unique lights and have strung 'twinkle ' lights through the branches of the trees. the tables were well spaced out too. The service was beyond lovely. Everyone working there was kind, thoughtful and just seemed like they truly cared about us having the best time we could. THE FOOD WAS INCREDIBLE. We enjoyed every last bite of EVERYTHING we ordered. The portion sizes were perfect we felt full by the end, but not over full. We got the OUZERI MEZEDES for an appetizers which came with Tarama, Tzatziki, Fava, and Dolmades served on sliced cucumbers. It also came with chilled Ouzo. For our mains, we enjoyed a classic Greek salad (with chicken added (ELLINIKI SALATA , and the PASTITSIO (Baked Ground Sirloin and Ziti Pasta. Topped with Parmesan Cheese and Bechamel Sauce. They were both amazing. We also got the Baklava but accidentally ate the entire plate before snapping a photo. Overall, 11/10 we cannot wait to come back!!!!

It's so beautiful on the inside. From the outside i wasn't sure i was at the right place. The server i had was so cordial and professional. She knew all the specials and went to see if they had their Mediterranean branzino sea bass platter available also, thats what i came in for. That was soooo good. They offered bread with oil that was great also. The area its hard to find parking but with the recommendations i received i had to try it out.
