The place was beautifully well designed and the music just brought the vibes. We were greeted immediately by a staff, Miriam. She was very friendly and so informative about the menu. Right when we were sat down another staff came and offered us couple of options of bottled water. The restaurant house bread which was toasted pita with an olive dip was delicious. My son and I had an espresso martini. Best we've ever had and the presentation was beautiful. Miriam gave us suggestions of what were popular and what were her favorites. We went with a couple dishes. Started with the shrimp dish that looked to be cooked in a spicy tomato sauce. It came with a side of pita/naan bread. Both came to the table very hot. The way I like my food. Btw. It was DELISH!!!! Then we had a single order of the mixed grilled. Everything on that platter was so flavorful. I'm usually not a fan of chicken breast but this one had so much flavor and still a bit moist. The filet was so tender and again flavorful. The ground meat stick was very moist and had the perfect amount of seasoning. We ate everything. Really wish we ordered the meal for two. We ended our dinner with their kaniff cheese dessert with a side of pistachios ice cream. The dessert came on a hot plate. It looked dipped in breadcrumbs and fried in butter. Then drizzled with honey and topped with lots of pistachios. It was perfect way to end our dinner. It wasn't too sweet and the pistachios ice cream tasted homemade. Both were so good. Everything Miriam suggested was a hit. My son and I had a great time. We will be back on Friday and bring the rest of our family to try the food and watch the belly dancing show. Everyone there was so helpful. Great place to try Lebanese food. AMAZING!!! Thank you Miriam for making this dining experience wonderful.

I went here on a double date and had a great time. Our waiter recommended a great Arab wine we'd…read morenever heard of before, chateau reserve gold, so that was nice to try. We started with batata harra and cheese bulak. Both were great! The potatoes in the batata harra were very well seasoned and flavorful. The cheese bulak was good but might be a little off putting if your not use to mintiness in your cheese. A belly dancer came out and went around to all the tables and really engaged with everyone. For our entrees we got chicken tagine and lamb chops. I must say the lamb chops were phenomenal. Perfectly seasoned and grilled to perfection. I definitely recommend getting them medium. All in all if you're looking for something different definitely go check it out!

My fiancée and I stopped in for dinner last night and were pleasantly surprised to find the restaurant nearly empty. Our server was welcoming and extremely attentive. I opted for the chicken shawarma pita while my fiancée ordered the gyro. Oh, and I had the whole hummus and pita appetizer to myself because my fiancée doesn't like hummus. His loss, my gain

Desert Heat in Suburban Florida…read more Coral Springs is not exactly known for culinary danger. It's polite. It's manicured. It behaves. And then you walk into Falafel Gourmet and suddenly you're not in suburbia anymore -- you're in a little Middle Eastern oasis hiding in plain sight on State Road 7. First thing that hits you? That glass case of baklava. Not two sad trays. Not corner-store pastry vibes. A full shimmering lineup of honey-soaked, pistachio-loaded, syrup-dripping architecture. It's the kind of display that makes you whisper, "I'll pretend I'm taking it home for later." You're not. You're eating it in the car. Then the homemade lemonade. Not powdered. Not lazy. Fresh. Bright. And just when you think you've figured it out -- there's that hint of ginger. Subtle heat. Like it knows something you don't. It cuts through the richness like a blade. One sip and you realize Florida doesn't deserve this level of refreshment. Now let's talk shawarma. Lamb. Chicken. We had both. And this is where things get serious. Juicy. Properly seasoned. Wrapped tight. No soggy collapse halfway through. No bland filler. Just meat that's been treated with respect and cooked like someone's grandmother might actually yell at them if they messed it up. If your shawarma needs sauce to survive, you've already failed. This one doesn't. The service? Warm. Real. No robotic upsell script. You feel like they actually want you there. Like they care whether you enjoyed it. And then the teas. There's a section of teas that will make you want to point randomly and say, "Surprise me." You start asking questions. You start trusting recommendations. You start planning a second visit before the first one is done. This isn't fast food. It's edible hospitality. We walked in curious. We walked out planning to come back tomorrow night. That's the only review metric that matters. Will I come back? Hell yes.

Let's talk lamb chops, because these are the showstoppers. Perfectly seasoned, beautifully charred, and impossibly tender, they hit that magical sweet spot between rustic Greek comfort and polished steakhouse execution. Every bite is rich, juicy, and layered with flavor -- the kind of dish that makes you slow down just to make it last longer. And then there are the baby back ribs, which honestly deserve their own standing ovation. Fall‑off‑the‑bone tender with a glaze that balances savory, sweet, and smoky, they're the unexpected MVP of the menu. You don't go to a Greek taverna expecting ribs to steal the spotlight... but here we are. They're that good. The vibe is exactly what you want from a beloved local spot -- lively, warm, and buzzing with energy. Service is friendly, fast, and genuinely welcoming, the kind that makes you feel like a regular even on your first visit. Greek Islands Taverna delivers big flavors, generous portions, and a dining experience that feels celebratory from start to finish. If you're craving lamb chops that melt in your mouth or ribs that redefine what ribs should be, this place is an absolute must. Yamas

NEW FAMILY FAVORITE ALERT…read more My family and I love Mediterranean cuisine and this restaurant is officially a go-to. We started with several appetizers including spinach pies, falafel, and the Hommous sampler. The falafel was crisp and packed with flavor! I can't recommend the toum (garlic dip) enough. I would put this spread on anything! Another standout that we were all pleasantly surprised was their fries! These are the crispiest, most delicious side dish. Don't skip them. For dinner we had their moussaka and shish combo. The lamb, chicken, and kabobs were perfectly cooked- so flavorful and juicy! For dessert we had their bread pudding and Dubai chocolate brownie that came recommended from our waitress. Definitely enough to share and very decadent. Lastly, I want to compliment the service. Our drinks were always full, food came out altogether, and they took the time to explain various dishes and how they differ from the typical Mediterranean dishes. Our waitress was an absolute delight!

Several people said how good it was when they ate their last, , but had been a year or so since they had been there. Service was sporadic but they were all pleasant. The lentil soup was liked by one person and the other said it was the blandest soup she'd ever had. She put salt and finally the garlic sauce in the soup to declare it edible. She asked the server if it had changed and he said no, it was the same. We all got the chicken breast shish kabob lunch, and one got the sandwich. For me, the chicken was flavorful but a bit overcooked. I would suggest using boneless thighs or smaller piece of breast on lower heat. The rice has almonds in it but completely bland with no flavor. However what was the worst - the grilled vegetables were BURNT- see picture. The pepper were charred, squash dissolving from overcooking. It tasted like eating a piece of charcoal. There are way too many Mediterranean type restaurants in the area to have bad food - or frankly even try them again. I would not go back.

It's an upscale restaurant that you can dine at for special occasions, with friends or family, with colleagues or even clients. It is always a super busy restaurant so you know the food is fresh. They do have a very good takeout business also. The portion size is very large, healthy and flavorful. I have been to this restaurant a few times and my favorite dish is the chicken platter. It comes with spinach, rice, rosemary, lemon potatoes, a side of tzatziki sauce, and a Greek salad. I love all of the sides that it comes with. Happy hour is offered daily until 6 o'clock and includes special prices on cocktails. I decided to dine with some clients and we ordered many delicious dishes. Everyone was happy with the dish that they ordered. We ordered grilled chicken platter, Gyro platter, Kefte platter, spinach pie, hummus with pita bread and seafood Paella. The interior has plenty of seating and they also have outdoor covered seating. The service was exceptional. I'd definitely recommend this place for authentic Greek flavors and generous portions.

I asked if the kitchen was still open and she said " let me check" , she took a good minute to come back out. I was 100% thinking she would say yes because attached below are the times and it says kitchen closes at 9:45pm. She comes back out and says kitchens closed. I was very shocked and disappointed. I told her the website says restaurant closes at 10:00pm and the kitchen closes at 9:45pm. She responded by saying " those are hours when we are slow" . To be it just sounded like " Tonight the kitchen is lazy and wants to close earlier than what our website says". I don't see how a business can be successful if you close 25 mins before your business hours on the website and make some money from walking in patrons like myself. I would suggest the owner can tell yelp/google to adjust the times when the restaurant is slow they close earlier. Went to the pizzeria/Italian restaurant next door and it was great.
