Editor’s Note

Last updated 30 May 2026

Our take: BAKALAKI Greek Taverna consistently receives high praise for its authentic Greek fare and exceptional service.

We see many mentions of the staff going above and beyond, with specific shout-outs to individuals like Pravin for their attentiveness and recommendations.

The restaurant's bright and spacious setting, with large tables, makes it suitable for bigger groups.

While the food is generally excellent, with highlights like the Fried Feta Cheese, Lamb Chops, and the Galak Toboureko dessert, some items like the Kalamaki Merida (chicken & beef skewers) are noted as being dry and overpriced at $32-33 for two skewers.

The Octopus, while nice, is also mentioned as being small for its price.

Despite these minor criticisms, the overall consensus is that the quality of the food and the impeccable service justify the higher price point.

We'd recommend making a reservation, especially for larger parties, though arriving at opening time can offer a quieter dining experience.

A reliable choice for an upscale Greek meal, particularly if you're looking for a celebratory atmosphere with attentive service.

What customers say

BAKALAKI Greek Taverna is highly praised for its authentic Greek cuisine and exceptional service, with specific mentions of staff like Pravin/Praveen for their attentiveness and personalized touches.

While dishes like lamb chops, fried feta cheese, cod roe dip, and desserts (Loukomades, Galak Toboureko) receive rave reviews, some find the Kalamaki Merida (chicken & beef skewers) dry and overpriced, and the octopus portion small for its cost.

The restaurant is considered expensive but generally worth it for the quality and experience.

Dined in Bakalaki on New Year’s and our server was attentive, and was prompt in his service. We especially enjoyed the grilled octopus and the moussaka. Food is definitely on the pricier side, but it’…

What a truly enjoyable experience. This restaurant was recommended to us as an authentic Greek gem, and it certainly lived up to the hype—it was easily the most scrumptious dinner I’ve had in a long t…

The staff are welcoming. The food are great and I like the kebab meat. Kebab meat is tender and melt in your mouth once you savour them. The bread with the olive oil and butter taste well. Kid friendl…
