    While looking for a lunch spot near our home, found this new restaurant in Cresskill. It was opened a couple months ago. It still has it glossy new appearance. The restaurant is very pretty inside, filled with bright sunlight shining on the white interior. The menu is short but has good variety of appetizers, entrees, desserts, sides and drinks. We started with the eggplant salad. A mashed eggplant dish that tasted okay to me. The grilled octopus was the best dish. It was cooked perfectly, but had lots of other veggies on the plate that didn't seem appealing to me. For entree we got the Olive tree combination that included chicken gyro, lamb shish and adana kebab. Lamb shish was the best one out of the three, adana was good but little inconsistent from piece to piece, chicken was very dry inside, though it had nice seasoning. The pita on the plate and the complementary bread at the start l, both were excellent. Our server was wonderful, had a nice service. Food came out within short time. Overall it was a decent lunch for us.

    I tried this place for the first time since they opened. The food was amazing! The Garlic Chicken was definitely a hit! It's BYOB, but there's a Liquior store next door with a great selection of wines. Staff is very nice attentive. Love the decor and it was very relaxed atmosphere. Haluk is amazing. Stop in and say hi and try it out!

    Oh my this was a delight! A few friends and I had to go to a wake in town and we were starving…read moreafter. We're not really familiar with Tenafly but Axia Taverna was down the street and convenient. We were blown away by the food and service. Everything we ate was excellent! From the pita politiki (phyllo dough stuffed with spinach and artichokes) to the Tuna Tartare, Fresh Feta and the steak. We really ate well. For dessert, we shared the cheesecake and Galaktoboureko which was a semolina custard in phyllo dough. Didn't get as many pics of the dinner / dessert but trust me, you'll enjoy it! Overall, this is a beautiful restaurant with great ambiance. Seating is available both upstairs and downstairs. There's a Small parking lot in the back. Front parking is taken up by outdoor seating which is closed for the winter.

    I grew up in Tenafly but haven't lived there for almost 40 years. When my family was returning for…read morethe funeral of our 97 year old father, I was looking for a place to have a group dinner for about 16 people. When I asked my high school classmate, who I knew still lived in the area for a recommendation, he recommended Axia Taverna. The restaurant Manager, Tim was a pleasure to work with in arranging our reservation and we enjoyed the entire upstairs. The food was amazing and the service from William and the others was so attentive and friendly. My Aunt, age 81, said it was the finest evening she had ever enjoyed. I wish I lived closer (I live in Nevada) so I could eat here on a regular basis. It is a wonderful restaurant.

    We had the strangest and a very disappointing dinner here on a not busy at all Wednesday evening…read more The food was meh but edible. The service on the other hand was terrible. I came with my friend for dinner. We ordered Lahmacun and a mixed grill. The Lahmacun was a little bland. Not like others I have had elsewhere. It was very skimpy on the meat and as a result lacked flavor. We had to bomb it with salt and the lemon to make it taste like anything. The side fixing of lettuce with tomato was a fail because the tomato had a rotten spot right where it was sliced. Not sure how they could have failed to notice that when they sliced it and fanned it out. We had to ask for a replacement tomato The mixed grill was a bit better. The meat was tender and tasty. I can't complain about that. What was horrendous and the reason despite the okay food that we will not return is the service. To be clear there were literally only two tables of customers in the restaurant. When we arrived there was a lone woman sitting at one other table eating. And then us. After she left another group entered to sit at a table. It was then that table and us for the rest of the evening. A waitress came and took our order. She brought us the bread. We asked her to bring us some olive oil please. She said OK I'll be right back. She never came back. Ever. She went to the side of the restaurant and was playing on her phone. Then another gentleman brought us our food. We asked him can we get some olive oil, please. He finally brought it. Then he product food and disappeared, and we never saw him again. Well, to be clear, we saw him sitting on the side playing on his phone too. But we never saw him come to our table again. We waited for the check and we waited and we waited. Finally, my girlfriend got up and walked over to them and said can we get the check please. We had to laugh because she stood waiting for it and the woman who never returned with the olive oil said you can sit down I'll bring it to you. The irony was not lost on us and I laughed inside. This time she did return. The fact, though that we needed to go literally hunt down the servers in a completely empty Restaurant is major fail.
