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.

Awful seating. Way too noisy. Fish fry. Coming here for many years. Going to take a long break.Also, place needs a good scrubbing.

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.
