About This Pub
Ah, Taverna Harrogate – what a gem it is for anyone fancying a taste of Greece without hopping on a plane. From the moment you step in, you're greeted with that warm, welcoming vibe that makes you feel like you're among friends, and the staff really go the extra mile to ensure everything's spot on, whether it's finding a table on the fly or helping with recommendations. The food is where it truly shines; those mezze platters are packed with variety and flavour, perfect if you're in the mood for a proper feast, and it's all served up quickly and authentically. It's especially brilliant for get-togethers, with spaces that can handle larger groups without feeling cramped. On the flip side, though, it's not the cheapest spot around – that bottle of wine or a few drinks can push the total up, so it's worth budgeting for if you're planning a night out. Overall, I'd say it's a must-visit if you're in Harrogate and after a relaxed, enjoyable meal, but just keep in mind it might not suit if you're watching the pennies. Give it a go, and you won't be disappointed!

Cons
-
It can get a bit pricey, particularly if you're ordering drinks and wine, which might add up more than expected for a family outing.

Despite having not booked, a table was found for us and the service was impeccable from start to finish.
We had the meat Mezze. I would recommend this if you are very very hungry! A fabulous variety of dishes to try for the starter followed by a platter of meat kebabs. No room for dessert sadly! I loved it and we will be back next time we visit Harrogate!
Fantastic service. Quick food delivery. Great staff. Very authentic Greek atmosphere and food. Staff helped us speak Greek. Very good value for money. We thought our starter was the whole platter. Would highly recommend the mezze platter. Staff were happy to box up our leftovers. This is a must visit in Harrogate.
We booked the day before so seated straight away.
Peaceful, polite and friendly staff was have a smile on their faces. Food was lovely and service excellent.
Would go again and as partner is very fussy with his food I can star it high enough. Also lovely bottle of red wine.
Went here for tea. As you walk in, you are greeted by a friendly member of the team, and it gets better from there. All the staff are great and welcoming. Food is amazing with great choices of greek cuisine and a great atmosphere. Would be wise to book, as although not over busy when we went, i imagine it can be.
Came here with the family, and we all absolutely loved it. The staff were friendly and accommodating and the restaurant was lovely. Our meal was so nice that my youngest asked if we could move to Greece. That only downside was the cost. With a drink each and a bottle of wine, we spent just over £180. Still, even with that said, we would return... Once the piggy bank has refilled.
