Reviews for Taverna Greka in New Westminster, BC
If you're looking for a unique dining experience this is the place to go, the view of the Frasier river is spectacular, but... we're not talking about the view were talking about the food. Oh boy was I treated to exceptional meal, the hummus and pitaappetizer was delightful you could taste how fresh the chickpeas and garlic was, it was complimented with a hot pita And forthe main course I had the lamb skewers which was amazing seasoned nicely, very tender, and flavorful the Greek salad was a nicecontrast. I enjoyed the rice but the texture was more soft than I prefer. Otherwise I had great experience if you're in NewWestminster area hit them up. Thank you. Read more
Dined here with another couple on a Tuesday evening. Service was great, food was tasty and hot. Server was very attentive and... friendly. Gorgeous view of the Waterfront from our table! Didn't give 5 stars as there was no AC, and we were sweltering in themidst of a heat wave ???? Read more
Good food, good view and good services! I dropped my cooler accidentally but the beautiful server, Leni, came right away and... cleaned it ripidly as well as bought me new cooler without additional charges. It is a hidden gem anyone should try! Read more
Phenomenal service and stellar food! I just had the roast lamb plate for dinner, and it was the juiciest, tastiest lamb I?ve had... in years. The rice was cooked to perfection, and the whole dish was perfect. I also had the ekmek for dessert, which wasdelicious, but too large for one person! I guess I need to come back and share many plates with friends, so I can try the restof the menu! Read more
This authentic Greek restaurant has been an icon in New Westminster for ages. Located right on Columbia street, it?s easy to... find. Look for their name in bright blue lights. If you?re celebrating a special occasion or have out of town visitors, reservea table by the window. Here you will get a beautiful view of the Fraser River. They were busy on the weekend which took alittle longer for our food to arrive. It was worth the wait. They had a ?features? menu and I highly recommend ordering theTarama Dip which is red caviar served with pita bread. Unusual and tasty. We ordered the moussaka, vegetarian moussaka, roastedlamb, & lamb chops. All entrees came with rice, roast potatoes, Greek salad, pita & tzatziki. Everyone loved their selections.Flavourful, fresh, and a decent portion. Great value! Our server was friendly Parking can be a bit of a challenge. Get thereearly! If you enjoy Greek food, this is the place! Read more
I'm definitely not an expert on Greek food, but this was definitely among the best I've had, on par with what I was finding in... Europe! I came here as a spur of the moment with a couple of people, based on recommendations I've received. I was notdisappointed at all! I had the lamb souvlaki and it was delicious! There was no gamey-ness that some lamb dishes have. We alsoordered the calamari and it was delicious. My partner loves calamari and said it was easily some of the best he's had. We alsowent through a couple pitchers of sangria. For dessert, we decided to try one of each, but my favourite was the ek met andbougatsa. The staff were all extraordinary and we loved our server. Will definitely be back and will make a reservation nexttime! Read more
Glad to have tried this place last week and will definitely go back for a dine-in experience. Almost had to stop the car... somewhere on the road because the smell of the food was so good. Food was absolutely delicious with the appies being my fav.The garlic prawns sauce was rich and added more taste to the rice and also used it as a dip for the pita bread too. Calamari wassuper soft and fresh tasting too with the generous amount of onions adding a nice sweet taste. The lamb chops was spot on andvery tender too. Only thing about the lamb chop dish is that I didn't really like the way the potatoes were cooked. Not surehow they were cooked but, the outer layer of it was a little hard instead of a fully soft potato. Otherwise, everything wasawesome. Read more
I can write a full essay about the service, the food, and the ambiance. However, I will keep it simple. Great food, great... people, amazing ambience, and with good company you cannot go wrong! FYI there are some options for my vegetarian friends aswell. The owners are from Greece and they know how to make great Greek food. I was surprised by the way they treated us, itreally made me miss home! If you drink I highly suggest you to get OUZO!! Can?t wait to visit again! Read more
