10 Reviews on “Florina’s Greek Taverna”
My partner and I havent been here for years! Will definitely be coming back, the food was amazing, and we had more than enough to take home for lunch. Great value and great quality!!
Came in with high expectations given the rating of this place, but I was very disappointed. We ordered the $45 Greek feast; they definitely give you a lot of food, but we barely finished any of the dishes due to unpalatability.
The entree was probably the best course, but you cant really go wrong with warm flat bread and dips. The seafood was terrible, with dry calamari coated in an egg batter (?), burnt prawns and somewhat average fish. Next up, we had bland HSP-style chicken and lamb off the spit. Now I normally love my lamb, but there was just too much dry, cartilage-filled meat for it to be enjoyable.
The waitress chastised us for not finishing our food, but what were we supposed to say – that we hated almost everything? Dessert was thankfully better than mains, but the Greek coffee dregs were very powdery and left a sickening coating over the teeth. Overall, not impressed and not good on getting Greek food for a while!! 🙁
Worst Greek meal we’ve ever had. My wife is Greek so we know good Greek food and this place was the opposite. Every dish was bad – saganaki, kalamarakia, gyros, chops. It was so bad we didn’t finish any dish and had to have toasted sandwiches when we got home because we were hungry. Very overpriced too. Service was good but that was the only positive. Avoid this place.
Greek feast for around $38 containing the usual fare of salad, saganaki, lamb, chicken, whitebait, potatoes and more. Really good food in a laid back venue, there is plenty of food and a choice of Greek beers to wash it all down.
Went here on a Living Social coupon. Food portions were plentiful for 10 courses. The only drawback was the calamari was a touch oily and needed more flavour. Courses came out in quick succession which was fine. Value for money definitely. Would recommend.
After a couple of visits, I can’t really fault this place. It’s Greek.. it’s relatively basic food that tastes really nice (if you like grilled, herbed meat) and served in large quantities.
Order the chicken or lamb gyros, for example and you’ll get a plate piled high with meat with a few lemon wedges thrown in.
The Meat Platter (incidentally priced and sized for four – although the menu doesn’t say this) is definitely worth a look on a first visit – that way you get to try it all.
I’d prefer if their dolmades were served warm, and the side plates you have to work with if sharing are too small, but other than that no complaints.
When the eponymous & formidable Florina was still at the helm of this Greek restaurant it was a firm family favourite. Since her departure almost a decade ago I recently had the opportunity to revisit after quite a lengthy time. It appears nothing has really changed after so long. Being with a large group it was obvious the banquet menu was the way to go. Nothing extraordinary with the selection. To start us off ; the stock standard three dips – tzatziki, eggplant & taramosalata – fried cheese, white-bait, calamari, grilled peppers & some unforgivable tinned dolmathes, all served with both fresh bread & hot pita. Servings were generous but nothing really stood out except the fried cheese, which was exceptionally good. A platter of charcoal chicken & lamb gyros followed with the ubiquitous Greek salad and some potatoes baked in a tomato sauce. Both meat & chicken were cooked within an inch of their life and were quite dry. Not very enjoyable unfortunately. Next followed a platter of pan-fried fish fillet & some grilled prawns. I suspect the fish was frozen not fresh, given the texture which was bordering on mushy. The prawns were ok. The banquet finished off with a good Greek coffee served with baclava & my favourite Greek sweet, galaktoboureko. Unfortunately the custard was very firm and possibly set with gelatine. It lacked that rich creaminess of a baked custard. I could only manage a couple of spoonfuls before I set it aside rather disappointedly. Overall the meal was average. Nothing really stood out. Staff were brisk & attentive. The decor typical blue & white with posters of the Greek islands adorning the walls. It appears to be a favourite with locals. For me perhaps going back after such a long time with good memories of the restaurant in its early days wasnt such a good idea.
