Taverna is wonderful! It is a bit expensive, but it has never disappointed. I suggest going for lunch and doing their incredible lunch special - its a fantastic deal! For $12 you get your choice of personal pizza & salad, or soulvaki & salad. It was the perfect amount and delicious! We come for dinner often as well, but it will run you a bit higher. Hard to find good greek around here so I think its worth the splurge now and then for overall great food. Great ambiance and service! read more

I had the craving for Mediterranean food for dinner while we were in Flagstaff, and remembered seeing this place on a prior visit. I made a reservation, although it turned out not to be necessary, as this place is fairly large and has plenty of tables. We were greeted and seated immediately. Theren are two sides to three restaurant, with tables, booths and banquettes on one side, and a bar on the other side. There is also a separate room that looks like it's set up for parties with sofas in front of a fireplace and rows of long tables. It looks like this would be a great place for a party. There were several good choices on the menu, although there were no lamb chops, which is usually one of my favorite things to order in a Mediterranean restaurant. But no worries, because there was lamb souvlaki! I ordered the lamb souvlaki, which came with pita bread, sauteed veggies, orzo, and a long skewer of grilled lamb cubes. Our server suggested a side of the chimichurri, which they will bring you for free. The lamb was excellent with just the right amount of char. The pits was really good, too--all soft and chewy, not dry like pita can sometimes be, and it was put on the grill to give it that tiny bit of grilled flavor. But surprisingly, it was the buttery orzo with feta that I really loved. Date I say that I liked it more than the standard tumeric rice that you usually get at Mediterranean restaurants? Yes! It was delicious! Hubby got a gyro pita, which came with Greek salad. First, his plate was huge! The salad was enormous for a side salad, and was super colorful (which is a compliment for salads). His pita was pulled so high that he had to eat half of the meat and veggies before he could even pick it up. It was topped with the best tzaziki ever. This place is really great, and if you are looking for Mediterranean food in Flagstaff, this is your place! read more

We are so glad we stop by for late lunch, early dinner. The food was delicious and he service was great with the hostess helping out with our waitress. Great tag team. The ambiance felt like a great vibe near the sport bar. Will recommend when in town for a Mediterranean food. read more

During my pre-Thanksgiving roadtrip, I naturally wanted something different than what my hometown offers. Enter: Taverna Modern Mediterranean in Flagstaff, AZ. My dog was waiting in my air conditioned Jeep so I opted to get takeout on November 25, 2025. When I walked in I was promptly and warmly greeted by a nice young man. I ordered at the bar. Used their clean restroom, then waited about 15 minutes for my order to be ready. Later said canine and I shared the Gyro Pita ($18.49) meal which came with fries. I just wish three had been more slices of beef and lamb as they were very thin at that price. I'm also not sure why there was an 8% surcharge on my bill. This is a classy yet comfortable setting for a date, business meeting, family affair, or just catching up with friends. They have a nice, large bar. I'm a fan. read more

The $16.50 greek salad was mostly bitter tasting purple lettuce. Very few other ingredients. It should be tightly packed iceberg lettuce with all the other ingredients in volume. At noon I was the only customer in the restaurant while all other eateries in Flagstaff were packed on a summer day. Other items were overpriced also for the mediocre quality. read more

Taverna Modern Mediterranean - Salad was mostly bitter purple lettuce with little else. $16.50 wasted. Restaurant needs to re-think everything to succeed. - Greek Near Me - Flagstaff, Arizona

Delish!! After so much junk food on our roadtrip, my mom and I wanted something fresh and clean. This was just what we needed. Servers were nice and helpful during ordering, but I will say the meats were a bit burnt. We sat by the kitchen so we saw a lot of fire which makes sense as to the char. It was a bit too much for us but maybe it's someone's cup of joe. Liked the mezze app and the potatoes were weirdly sour? Didn't finish them. read more

Amazingly reimagined Greek cuisine. Portions are proper size, and have enough protein in each. Happy to accommodate requests, like skipping the orzo. read more

First of all, the good part. The servers are very good and has nice ambience. However, the food is just average. We order the Saganaki and it was rubbery and not very hot. It should be kind of soft and runny. They use the wrong cheese. It should be kasseri. I had to send it back. We also ordered the Athenian pizza and it was acceptable. Greek food is not all that exotic and there's no reason it can't be made authentically and be so much better. I would not go back. read more

Been here a few times so when friend offered to treat us to a meal, we chose here! Always delicious beer and good! One person chose the Souvlaki beef and chicken with fries plate, another the Falafel pita with fries and I love the Gyro pita with fries. Watched some tennis on one of the screens in the bar. Discovered at checkout an 8% Flagstaff surcharge... okay that's something new and felt bad our friend was paying an extra amount compared to others times I have been here. Those dollars don't go to the server... so be sure to tip your server... I was thinking maybe in cash to be sure the server got their tip! read more

Stopped by for lunch at Taverna in Flagstaff. The place is very clean and offers a wide selection of scrumptious eats. My wife had the chicken pesto dish and I had the chicken parmesean. The service was good and the food as well. Recommended read more

This Mediterranean spot is a little pricey and they charge an 8% surcharge on the bill. Our server said it was because the minimum wage law in Flagstaff forces higher wages (currently $18/hr) and it is passed on to the consumer. None of it goes to the servers. Despite this, the food was absolutely delicious and fresh. We were greeted early and had a great server. We ordered: - Mezze - a selection of housemade spreads, including: tunisian harissa hummus, hummus, and tzatziki - served with grilled pita and fresh veggies - Greek Salad - mesclun greens, heirloom tomato, kalamata olives, cucumber, onion, bell pepper, pepperocinis, feta, greek dressing, Add Chicken, Hold the Feta (daughter said this salad was very delicious!) - Souvlaki - 2 skewers, one chicken and one beef, lemon roasted potatoes, greek salad, pita, tzatziki sauce (I looooved the lemon roasted potatoes. The meat was grilled well and tender inside. The salad is delicious and full of fresh veggies, olives, pepperocinis, and herbs - this was so filling and good!) - 3 Little Pigs Fired Pizza - house fennel sausage, pepperoni, calabrese, mozzarella There are plenty of booths and tables inside. There's a men's and women's restroom for customers. read more

Big Portions of Good Food - And Lots of Noise... - Overall: 4 - Location: 4 - Exterior: 4 - Ambiance: 3 (mainly for the noise) - Menu: 3 (too much pizza) - Food Quality: 5 - Food Portion: 5 - Service: 5 - Price and Value: 5 - Parking: 5 For our last of 4 nights in Flagstaff, my wife and I again consulted reviews. Taverna seemed like a good choice. - Location: In a fairly new shopping center on the southwest part of the city. - Exterior: Suburban handsome. A fairly large building at one end of the stores. - Ambiance: A big space with high ceilings. Attractive. Tables were nicely set apart, but there was a ton of noise with only 2/3 of capacity. Bring your "outside voice" or take a vow of silence. - Menu: Mediterranean with flashes of American food. I saw lots of pizza flying by. - Food: Very good. I had a Greek Salad with a 1/2 portion of salmon ($25). It was huge, tasty and filling. My wife had the Chicken Shawarma in a Pita ($18) which she really liked. It was big. For drinks, I had a 12 ounce glass of Peroni draft ($7.50) while my spouse had a 9 ounce serving of Seaglass Chardonnay ($15) from Santa Barbara. - Service: Luke was very friendly, informative and checked back often. - Price and Value: Tough to beat. The total before tax and tip was $73. NOTE: Taverna adds a surcharge of 8% which is in addition to any tip you add. - Parking: Easy. No problem finding a space in the large shopping lot. Taverna is a very good restaurant with excellent middle-of-the-road Mediterranean food. However, the noise reminded me of a lively bar so be prepared for a dull roar. read more

My friend and I were looking for a spot for dinner, and this was perfect! Grace and the rest of the staff were super attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly. I always appreciate when a server can give us helpful info to make sure we are ordering something which fits our palate and appetite. I got the falafel with the side Greek salad. Everything was super fresh! The salad had a beautiful amount of different items. I especially appreciated the range of tomatoes. The falafel sandwich was also good seasoning-wise. I liked the herbs but felt the texture was a bit mushy. Definitely would come back in the future. read more

Great food--fresh, generous portions, and well-seasoned. I ordered the Greek salad with chicken and was very satisfied. The chicken was excellent--not small, dry cubes but juicy, well-marinated strips. The interior is clean, spacious, and adorned with beautiful, modern decor. The servers were friendly and brought our food out very quickly. Highly recommended! read more

I love middle eastern food. The menu looks good. But when I saw the service charge for labor I decided this was not the place for me to eat. I'm not sure if the owner is trying to make a political statement or is just a cheapskate, but this is weird. Your labor costs need to be part of the cost of the product. I don't mind paying more for good food, but if they are trying to make a political point they loose my business. Seems petty to me, I'll eat someplace else. read more

Pretty taverna Nice priced menu Handsome staff Happy to be here for the first time!! Nice decor, geometric wood and brass accents cool!! read more

A ripoff. Found an undisclosed 8% "service fee" added on my credit card receipt after I paid bill. Probably explains why the restaurant and bar were mostly deserted at 7:00 pm on a Saturday night...peak dining hour. I sat alone at the bar so service was good. But food was most disappointing of my three nights eating out in Flagstaff. Chicken Parmesan was generous slab of deep fried breaded chicken coated with thin layer of sauce and cheese on bed of dry unseasoned pasta. Chicken was edible, pasta was not. read more

Great food and environment! We had Mackenzie as our server and she was a hoot! Definitely recommend the gyro and calamari!

Love this place!! Kenzie is such an awesome bartender. Had the Burrarta Salad was very good and interesting.

Mediterranean food, how? The chicken wings were burned to a crisp, the calamari wasn't cooked properly and when it came back out at the end of our dinner- it was a half portion. My shrimp dish was burned and severely over salted and the saffron rice looked like something a child would make. Mediterranean rice should be separated and not clumpy. Service was decent but slow and the ambience was cool...in 1999. read more

We were treated to top-notch service first by Cody, then Ben, then finally Tai. Food was VERY good: Bacon-Wrapped Dates, Greek Salad and Calamari. Yes, they do have a surcharge but I knew about it in advance, having read the on-line reviews before leaving home last week. (I live in another state.) We had three hours of friendly service, a martini, four beers, two glasses of wine, dates, salad and calamari. With taxes, tip and surcharge, we spent less than $140 and created new memories. I doubt that we'll return to Flagstaff but, if you visit Flagstaff -- especially if you're visiting your kid at Northern Arizona U -- I recommend having drinks and dinner here. No, it's not cheap. But you get quality food, quality booze and top-notch service. read more

It was alright. The lamb chops were a little stiff and I didn't not like the bell pepper that went with it. I did however like the Caesar salad, and their spala... something was really delicious... there was a lot of spinach in there and the cheese went perfectly with it. Service was super quick so we were done within 40 mins or so. Maybe I'm just too used to California price... things are a lot cheaper here. read more
