Reviews for Jake and Telly’s Greek Taverna in Colorado Springs, CO

A great Greek food experience. The wine, food and dessert were a great blend of favors. Wonderful ambiance. The wait staff was... attentive (thank you, Zoey). The only downside is we were in a corner underneath a speaker. The music was so loud we couldn'tcarry on a conversation. Definitely recommend reservations. Family friendly. Broad selection of different types of foods. Read more

One of the better ethnic restaurants in Colorado Springs and it comes pretty close to being authentic. The room is quite... charming. You can tell that it was a bar that evolved into a restaurant and yet it somehow works. Greek beer and wine listare great. The menu is pretty deep and includes some Greek favorites you would typically only find in a bigger city Greekrestaurant. The hummus and Dolma were delicious starts. I also appreciated the pita. My egg lemon soup was not 100% what Iremember from other Greek places but it was still delicious. Same with the moussaka; the eggplant was a bit too roughly cut andthe dish was slightly under-seasoned, but still very satisfying -- and in a large portion. And speaking of large, my wife'sGreek salad was HUGE -- and she only got that smaller one. I'd also like to share my appreciation for all the gluten free menuoptions. My wife has a gluten allergy and had no trouble putting together a good meal here. But what touched my heart themost was when the waitress did a shot of ouzo with us when she brought the check. You don't see that too often, and thispersonal touch was appreciated. Jake & Telly's is a special place with the kind of magic we don't find in the Springs mostlycookie cutter eateries. We will be back again, and in greater numbers. Read more

We had a cancellation on our flight so spent some extra time in Colorado Springs, decided to check out Garden of God's and found... this on the way back. My wife and I love Mediterranean food and we were not disappointed here. If this was in Houston it wouldbe a regular spot for us. Their portions are large. We definitely over ordered and couldn't take any with us. Read more

We had Saganaki as an appetizer….SO good. My husband had the Brizola and I had the chicken meatball pasta….DELICIOUS on both... counts. Baklava for dessert but we’ll probably try something different next time. Overall it was a great experience. This wasour first visit to J&T’s but we’ll definitely be back as it exceeded our expectations. Service was great and I especiallyappreciated a table visit by the general manager to make sure all was going well. I’d give J&T’s a 5 star rating for serviceAND food. Read more

Absolutely delicious meal! Our server was amazing! She gave suggestions and even brought us shots of Ouzo after dinner and... taught us the proper way to enjoy it. I had the pork kabobs, juicy and tender. Husband had the lamb chops, he said best he'sever had. Pita and hummus was so tasty, nice and garlicy. Food was even great leftover. Overall this place is fantastic and wewill be going back. Read more

Great as always! This is my absolute favorite restaurant in all of Colorado springs! Food, service, ambiance... everything!... Clean restaurant. They have a good selection of items on the menu for the whole family. They serve complimentary warm pita withoil. My husband and I both got a special, mine is the stuffed salmon which was so delish but I will say on the heavier side! Myhusband got the steak with blue cheese topping and raspberry drizzle under a bed of sweet potato and French green beans. Youmust check this restaurant out atleast once while you are in the springs. From the hostess down to the general manager everyoneis so lovely here! Read more

the food was decent, i wish we would’ve known how big the portion sizes are because honestly three people could probably split... each of the entrees. the food is also pretty expensive so if we would’ve known how big the plates were we could’ve all justshared one thing and saved probably $60. the food isn’t anything super special though and i probably wouldn’t go back. theydo give everyone 21+ a complimentary shot of ouzo at the end of your meal though so that was cool.

Jake and Telly's was an absolutely amazing dinner experience. Our server was phenomenal. She provided great recommendations and... was very attentive to our table and the other tables she was serving. The food we ordered was among the best we've everhad. The mussels were great, the broth was one of the best. The lamb kebobs were perfectly cooked and the rice and green beanswere phenomenal. The chicken and capers were delicious. The baklava was absolutely amazing. The portions were sizable andwell worth the price. Read more
