Everything from food to service was EXCELLENT! The restaurant is also set up beautifully!

Food was not authentic Muddle Eastern(fried chicken hummus??) but was fresh and very good. Great bread, freshly made. Service fine, Tables a bit crowded together. read more

Such. Fun experience. Our waiter was so friendly and had lots of suggestions. The food was amazing. Will be back

The only good thing I have to say is that the staff here is amazing. Beyond that I don't know how they are in business. The hummus was runny. A simple salad was not edible. The Brussels weren't cooked. The shrimp was gross. This place should be a great beautiful spot but once more places start popping up it will go out of business if it keeps serving food like we had tonight. read more

Everything we ordered was amazing! We went for an early dinner on a Friday, it wasn't crowded and had lots of natural light coming in from the large front windows. Great ambience! We will definitely be going back read more

Superb food and cocktails. Excellent service by Mark. He had great product knowledge of food and individual ingredients. His EVERY recommendation was spot on. Mark created a superior dining experience for US! read more

We ate here a week after eating at her sister restaurant, Shaya. The food was just as good. This time we had a lamb burger, shashuka, fried chicken hummus and a kids chicken and fries. The service was great! We arrived during a shift change so we had a few different people approach our table during our visit. Y'all need to go. The food here is not something you will get anywhere else. Since we had our little with us, we sat at a regular table instead of in the bar. The dining area was clean and we were able to hear each other speaking. We enjoyed our visit and can't wait to go back to either location! read more

This is a new restaurant, and reservations are strongly recommended. We recommend Fried Chicken Hummus, Crispy Halloumi, and Arayes (lamb-stuffed pita). Flatbreads looked very good, too. read more

Tavi - Lunch Menu - Middle Eastern Near Me - Covington, Louisiana

Already one of Covingtons top restaurants. Best hummus and pita I have ever had and I have had plenty. Everyone in our group raved about their entrees. The service by Chris was excellent. read more

MUST TRY THIS RESTAURANT!!!! Celebrated a birthday here with my family. The heirloom tomato mezze was delicious and fresh. The fried chicken hummus lived up to the hype. A table favorite was the brisket sandwich! The staff was very informative and patient with us deciding on which items to choose, since most of my family have not eaten this type of food before. I plan to return here in the future!! read more

The wife and I are here last year for Valentine's Day and it was wonderful so we tried again this Valentine's Day and we're very disappointed. I hate that this happened but it was night and day, I don't think we will go back again. We started out arriving at 6p and didn't get any bread for almost 30 min and the appetizer never came out . I ordered the lamb chop special and they had barely any meat on them . We are very disappointed! read more

We went for Mother's Day food good . It was a party of 6 the only bad thing was two meals came out and we waited for the rest of the meals I hope it was because they were short safe or they just messed up I will try them again read more

Service was good. The fried chicken hummus is always delicious. I've had the hanger steak 3 different times and the first time it was great that's why I got it a second time. The second time it wasn't as flavorful with the spices and so when I went back a 3rd time I got it again because I enjoyed it so much the first time. The third time it was so tough and chewy that I wouldn't even try again. I was so disappointed. I'd stick to the chicken hummus. The portion of that is good enough and is pretty fulfilling. read more

Friendly wait staff. Food is absolutely outstanding. It is on the spendy side, but very well worth it. The $15 for three appetizers is a great deal. The pitas they serve are the best I've ever had. The walls of them are thick & fluffy. If you're so inclined, there's quite a variety of vegetarian options. read more

If you love Shaya, then you will love Tavi! Heavenly fresh wood-fired pita continuously served throughout the night. The hummus is like no other. Might as well order all of them if you go with a big group but our standout was the Wild Mushroom. The flavor combination with the sage and brown butter was to die for paired with the creamiest hummus you've ever had. Oh and the Saz-Arak was delicious and service was on point! So happy to have Tavi on the Northshore! read more

Followed another Yelpers review and ordered the Mushroom hummus and that was the one dish at the table everyone was raving about. (And it wasn't just the vegetarians either.) Be sure to order the crudités too. (You won't find it on the menu! The fresh, hot pita bread was delicious. Be careful not to fill up on that though. The entrees did take quite some time to come out but we didn't mind. Just know this isn't the place to come to if you are in a rush. Finished off the meal with Tavi's king cake. Definitely worth trying. I loved how it wasn't overly sugary but still sweet. Last but not least, this is NOT the place to come if you're looking for a quiet restaurant. It is loud! They've done an amazing job with the design of the space but the sound just bounces from wall to wall. read more

Where can I start? Love the place, service, test, and quality of the product which keeps driving me back. Everything we ordered was delicious my favorite is Lamb Hummus & Brussels sprouts. Chicken kabobs weren't on the dinner menu, but you can add so we got shrimp and chicken kabobs super delicious and tender. Large plate we got chicken leg & thigh and when I say it was perfectly cooked that it just falls off the bones and is infused with flavors. If you haven't tried Tavi encourage guys to try. It is a little pricey, but the quality and test can offset the price. read more

Wild mushroom hummus was very delicately done. The flavor was infused into the hummus ever so gently. The oil was as virgin as it gets making the flavor so good. The wild squash was tangy and sweet! The lightly minted moussaka was tangilicious!!! The baba ganoush used eggplant that was really tender and it showed in the taste. The practical magic cocktail made of bay leaf vodka, lillet, spiced pear and cucumber was only slightly sweet but totally divine!!!the mockly drinks - eye opener was tangy as promised for thr discerning patron while the housemade pomegranate soda gives the right need for having more. Our hostess , Tessa, was amazing!!! She explained everything perfectly and was very insistent on us ordering the three course so that they can keep bringing the dishes in sequence - hot and made sure that we did not exhaust our appetite. The kebab was so juicy - it literally melted in our mouth. The pida had bread that was literally melting in my mouth. The falafel was neither too chunky nor pasty - just the right crunch and airiness to appreciate the flavor and when coupled the mint tahini - divine!!!! Dessert with Bloodorange Sorbet and the Cheesecake was amazing too!!!!The ambiance is really amazing with clean and updated modern look!!! This place is a gastronomic heaven and one for the books if you come to this side of Louisiana!!! read more

Great time! Food was very good and affordable. Bartenders are creative. Recommended.

Great service and great food! We got almost every hummus and a couple of additional small plates. Lamb ragu hummus and fried chicken hummus were probably our top two but everything was so good!! I've previously been and wasn't as crazy about their entrees but it's been over a year so can't speak to that now. read more

Good food. Prices are a bit out there tho. Fries as a main filler for a $36 steak plate for a hangar steak is kind of... unexpected. The apps are good. Did the flight of Mezze. Nothing disappointed flavor wise. The fresh Pitas were great as well. read more

Food was overpriced and bland. Waitress oversold the menu and taste of the food. Gorgeous place and in downtown Covington so because of yelp we tried it. One and done. $26 for one leg quarter and some rice! read more

Great spot for a girls lunch! Delicious and pretty restaurant! Great hummus dishes! Homemade pita was incredible!! read more

Great meal every time. Jan is the best manager in the business. We live the humus and the chicken is delicious. I have yet to find an entire I have not enjoyed. read more

Both dishes (arayes & sujuk flatbread) for lunch were delicious, and if you aren't starting your meal with the fried chicken humus you are missing out! The service is quick and staff is knowledgeable about the dishes. Reservations are recommended especially for dinner service. The restaurant can get loud if it's a full house, but that won't stop me from going back. read more

We stopped into Tavi for lunch on a weekend getaway. Our meal didn't work. The complimentary pita was very doughy and undercooked. My husband's sandwich was equally heavy and off balanced with tasteless beef stuffed into doughy pita and barely enough slaw to bring the much needed brightness. The hummas was good. read more

Awesome food I haven't had anything there that I didn't like the brussels sprouts are awesome the pita clouds, phenomenal the fried chicken hummus is to die for. It's a wonderful place to go. Very quaint Ambience is wonderful people are very Accommodating Zach behind the bar is phenomenal. Thanks for a wonderful experience Tinnie read more

Great food, great service. This was our first visit to Tavi and we really enjoyed it.

Food was amazing!! We shared all of our plates!! Atmosphere was nice. Service was excellent and quick. The fried chicken hummus, yum!!

Service was excellent both times I've been- very attentive waitstaff which can be hard to find in today's restaurants. Mushroom hummus was hearty and rich- don't skip it! Our table ordered the hangar steak, sea bass, & chicken quarter for entrees. The hangar steak was to die for! Voted the best dish at the table! The sea bass was pricey and to be honest very disappointing. It had so much curry overpowering the flavors that I could taste nothing else and tasted for like more like an Indian dish than what I was going for. My friend who ordered the chicken barely touched the meat since it was so dry and overdone. The dessert was truly a star on its own though. Forgot the name but it was supposed to come with orange blossom gelato and instead they had to sub for a caramel gelato- still excellent and a very special treat! read more

Visited last night with a friend. We shared the 5 Mezze selection with some mushroom hummus and the always wonderful fresh Pita bread out of the oven. The selection of so many small delicious flavours always hits the mark. We each ordered a cocktail I had the Tavi spritz and my guest had an also delicious choice ( can't recall which). Love this place, have never had a disappointing meal. It was my friends first visit and I think she was impressed also. Took home leftovers in their provided containers and bag. If you like Mediterranean food this place should be on your list of places to visit. read more

We had the opportunity to try out this fairly new spot recently and are so glad we did. Overall, it was a great experience but there were a couple of things worth commenting on. For starters, when we heard about this place we were specifically told ahead that it was very loud when the place was full which made for challenging conversation. So we went for a time we thought it might be quieter at midafternoon. We have to say that, at 60% capacity, it was still pretty loud and can imagine with a full room why someone would comment on that. And part of the reason for that was that the seating was too close. Perhaps a little more room and some carpeting would help absorb sound. THAT BEING SAID, let's get to the good things - the service was excellent and the staff were friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable about the menu and - if they didn't know - they asked. We ordered the Lamb Raghu Hummus right away and - wow - that was an absolute home run. That by itself could have been the whole meal. Add to that the wood-fire cooked pita and you've got a bough to keep you satisfied for days. We also had the Shakshuka which was a nice combination of flavors, and the Lamb Kebab - which was also delicious and had a bit of a kick. Would definitely repeat that! The servings were all a very generous size and left us with no room for dessert. Again, overall a great experience and will certainly be coming back. read more

Went here with my wife on a date night. The service was very good and the restaurant was clean. The pita is amazing.

Super cool ambience - white, blue, simple. Walked in on a Saturday around 2:30 pm. About 1/2 full of diners. We sat at the bar. Ordered a couple of alcoholic beverages on the menu- both were pretty good. Ordered the chicken hummus as an appetizer. We would likely get this EVERY time we go. AMAZING. Decided to just split a flatbread - we chose crawfish. Was good but just can't outdo that hummus. Will try and frequent this place as many times as possible! read more

Tavi - Fried Chicken Hummus - Middle Eastern Near Me - Covington, Louisiana

First impressions matter, when I enter a business, no matter what it is, can you at least try to be pleasant. All I got was a missable face, no welcome, I offered just the two of us. Reply was "can you be finished by 6:30" . It was 5:20. There must be a shortage of service trays as all drink orders of two or under, came by hand, hygiene must not be a worry here. Food was way over priced, so called feta cheese flatbread came and all I can say is if this is a Turkish style pide, long way from it. No need to go deeper with the food but could. read more

I was in here the other day, the food and drinks were great. However the service was lacking, our server, Cassidy, failed to bus our table i found her to be quite negligent throughout the experience. The food and drinks would have been more enjoyable had our server cared about our experience. read more

Food was very fresh and delicious. Service on a busy Saturday evening was top notch. Love the ambiance, clean and bright.

Great restaurant with generous and delicious portions. Reasonably priced. An absolute must visit spot.

Excellent food! Fantastic server will definitely be back. Hidden gem in downtown! Must get the fried chicken hummas!!
