Greek Tavern - Sarasota

We are a Greek family visit sarasota from pittsburgh, pa. we found this little gem of a restaurant on google and we are so glad that we have made it! this is very authentic Greek cuisine, cooked and served by Greek. the lamb dishes, saganaki, filled tomato and grilled mahi mahi special were spectacular. I would not hesitate to visit this restaurant again when I return.

The lamb there is so perfectly cooked! Saganaki was good but oily. We loved how they light it right in front of you though. The best thing on the menu is the rice pudding!

The food was amazing! Love being able to support a local small businesses especially one so delicious! We will def be back! ?

My husband is Greek so we always look for the Greek restaurants. We were visiting from Ohio and found this little place. We loved it. My husband said it’s the best meal he’s had in Sarasota. They have all of the traditional home-style Greek dishes he loves. He had the Plaki (fish) and I had the Dolmades (like grape leaves, only made with cabbage leaves They even had non-alcoholic beer for me, which is a rare find at a small restaurant like this. Opah!

Was really trying to find an alternative Greek place and it was a ride to pick up take out but the reviews were good. Lamb gyro was not great and priced at $11.50 with fries. Best part of the meal was the side of carrots. Chicken gyro was dry, not a lot of meat and not seasoned well. Respect the local small business hustle and maybe we should dine in and try again? We will see. Nothing we ordered took us to flavortown like you would expect from a small Greek restaurant.
