    The food was some of the best Greek food I’ve ever had, however the service on the other hand wasn’t very good. There was only one waitress who was pleasant, the others were rude and never smiled or had any manners! Although the bottomless brunch was nice food, they were very tight on the dip portions - if we wanted any extra we had to pay. Baring in mind we were sharing one dip which was a tiny circle size between 3 people which clearly isn’t great when there is more pitta bread than dip to use. There was no sides included either so that was something else you have to pay for. Overall, I’m not sure I would return as there seemed to be more negatives than positives.

    Excellent locality to Birmingham Hippodrome for a pre-theatre meal. Food very good, large portions, bit more choice on the theatre menu would be good. Greek music would have added to the dining experience. Little bit pricey, especially for the bottled water! If offered water for the table ask for tap!!!

    Went for early dinner after a show at the Hippodrome. The restaurant became quite busy with other diners but the staff were friendly and efficient. Great choices on the menu and the food was good quality and plentiful

    2nd visit and a bit disappointing. My wife had Falafel for a starter which was overcooked and looked almost black. She then had prawns in garlic butter but again the prawns were very overcooked and totally dry. No sign of any garlic butter to mop up.... I had a couple of dips to start with, which were lovely but I had 1 pitta bread for both plates of dip. No way sufficient for the quantity of dip. £4.45 for 1 more pitta bread which is extortionate. I then had the squid which tasted greasy, as if the oil wasn't hot enough when they were dropped into the oil. We had a very nice bottle of wine and the service was attentive and there was a good atmosphere. Just let down by the food really. We mentioned the prawns were not good to the waitress and she said she'd mention it to the chef..thanks👎
    Mythos TavernaResponded on April 15, 2025
    Dear Carl, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear your second visit didn't meet expectations. This isn’t the experience we aim to deliver, and we regret that the food quality fell short. Your comments on the falafel, prawns, squid, and pitta bread have been noted and will be discussed with our kitchen team. We're glad you enjoyed the wine, service, and atmosphere, and we appreciate you raising your concerns during your visit. We hope you’ll consider giving us another chance to provide the experience we’re known for. Kind regards, Mythos Greek Taverna

    Excellent birthday/pre show dinner! Love the decoration and the traditional style taverna decor. Service was excellent and the food was amazing! We shared the mixed grill for two, with a Greek salad there was plenty of it and we thoroughly enjoyed it! We also had cocktails and drinks and overall price was good value! We will definitely return.
