Our authentic Greek cuisine is prepared using recipes directly from our family cookbooks. We have been here since 1990 with passionate care for our neighborhood! We make everything to order and use the freshest produce, fish, and meats available. In fact, you can even see how fresh our seafood is as we have it on display.
We serve favorites such as saganaki, taramosalta, skordalia, and whole fish including snapper, sea bass, and spearings. We also grill lamb chops, rib-eye steaks, chicken souvlaki, spiced burgers, octopus, salmon, and swordfish. Enjoy our full bar, stocked with wine, beer, and premium liquors.

Wonderful greek food. The waitstaff is incredibly friendly with a nice quiet ambience with greek music in the background. Have had lamb kabobs as well as grilled calamari. Both dishes were the best I have ever had. We have started with the dips and pita- excellent. Reasonably priced- I would recommend highly.

I would recommend not to go on a Friday night. It was extremely busy and the overall quality of the food was not good. I think because everything was too rushed.

Telly’s Taverna has been a family favorite of ours for the past three decades. It is the best place for Greek seafood - hands down. The fish is always fresh and cooked deliciously. Service is always friendly and efficient. The owner, Diana, is always an attentive host. I recommend it very strongly.

Excellent dinner with my family (6 of us) on Sunday. The food was all incredible, from the appetizers to our meals. I had the lamb chops which were maybe the best I’ve had. Service was great and everyone was very friendly. Love coming here!

The appetizer dip dish was great. I ordered Red snapper and it was dry, and tasteless! My wife ordered lamb chops and loved them. Too noisy however.
