    If you want to step into Greece without leaving home, dine at Taste of Greece. This family run restaurant reflects the owners (Greek) long marriage to each other and their passion for giving the highest quality food to their customers. They make you feel at home. The food is incredible. It is truly a hidden gem in Laguna Niguel and a family favorite.

    This is a family run operation with attention to detail. We had more food than we could eat and that was a shame, because it is soooo good. They have a Greek guitar player on Thursday nights. Not fancy, but very good.

    This cafe-size Greek restaurant is tucked in a hillside strip mall. The menu is on a tri-fold piece of paper. The atmosphere in comfortable and definitely “small business.” The food is amazing! On the brochure menu, there are appetizers, salads, wraps, meat-based meals, fish-based meals, lunch specials, and beverages (including alcohol). We tried some of everything; it was all delicious! And when we told them we were celebrating two birthdays, the manager brought a slice of baklava with a candle; so rich the slice, shared, was plenty!

    Food was terrible and service very slow. Food arrived cold and my husband’s food looked and smelled like cat food. He couldn’t eat it. For the price, quality of food was terrible. We would not go back, this is not Greek food!

    They no longer include a salad with the meal it's add-on for $4 or $5, I had to ask for taziki (which should have come with the meal. Servers were more interested in chatting with to-go diners than looking after us in the dining room. We had to ask for our wine and then had to wait for it after dinner arrived. The service has always been slow but with the menu changes and the worst service ever. It will be quite awhile before I'll be back if ever.
