Yesterday we ventured out for the first time since the pandemic. We visited the Greek Taverna. It was as expected a slow night for them. We were greeted immediately by the person in charge who had a Mask on his face which made us very comfortable. It was a rainy weather so we could not sit outside but social distancing was practiced inside so we were fine. The waitress, who was also wearing a mask, was very friendly and explained the specials for the day.
We ordered the following for our appetizers Grape leaves, tasty but a bit sweet for my taste, Haloomy delicious with grilled tomatoes, and Spanakopita fresh, crispy and to die for.
We love Greek food so we had a challenge to order, finally decided, with leftover for tomorrow in mind, to order 6 entrees, the waitress was a bit chocked by our order and confirmed a couple of times, understandably.
Trout well cooked a bit too lemony, and I love lemon, had a bit of bones, loved it and loved the baked potatoes on the side. As a side sautéed Green Beans, which was the veggie of the day as all entrees got it, well cooked and delicious.
Katapoula Agginares Boneless Chicken breast sautéed with artichoke, awesome taste and tasted exactly as described in the menu
Garides Nafplian Sautéed Shrimp with tomatoes my wife enjoyed very much
Paidakai Lamb Chops Cooked to perfection
Pastitsio a baked layered pasta with ground beef and béchamel sauce. I cook an Egyptian version of this dish and wanted to compare, I am sorry but my version wins, but I still enjoyed a taste of it, and will have the leftover for lunch today.
Moussaka well you can’t go to a Greek restaurant and not have Moussaka. Well done, held itself very good the taste was a it sweet to my taste. But will enjoy leftover for lunch today
The owner bought us dessert, which was very nice of him.
Finally I definitely would recommend The Greek Taverna if you like Greek food but expect a higher than average check, good food cost money.
I added some pictures for enjoyment
What a cozy place, warm welcome and absolutely amazing food! Our experience was wonderful! 💕 We'll definitely stop by again every time we're in DC. The flan is outstanding... I got seconds!!!
The owner is a sweetheart, the staff is so welcoming and the the cooking skills is really impressive. Love it.🍃 Recommend it.
Outstanding quality and service. Returned to this cozy corner for a scrumptious lunch. The owners were very friendly and hospitable. We ordered the special of the day which was a swordfish combo. The food was excellent and the ambiance was too. Will definitely return.
