Elia Taverna, Bronxville NY

We ordered KTAPODI (the octopus), but it smelled bad and tasted stale! That’s very annoying and disappointing! The service was comparatively good. They immediately took the dish away and didn’t charge the dish. However, the other dishes weren’t yummy, neither. Too sour for us. I do not recommend this restaurant.

I have been here many times for lunch or dinner. If anything the place is getting better and better over time. Food is always good. Now they have a lunch menu that is really good. And of course, the friendliest staff!

We just stumbled upon this place on our way to MA and i am glad we did. The service is quick, food is delicious and they have veg options as well. Their tzatziki is to die for, it’s the best tzatziki I have ever had.

Dressing needs to change, not a traditional Greek dressing. It only had vinegar, oregano, and the chicken was dry. Food is not like it used to be.

Have never had anything bad from here. The grilled octopus is exceptional - smoky yet tender and not at all rubbery. Excellent homemade galaktaboureko - creamy and not overly sweet.

Me and the missus went here and had the best food and house wine the staff is amazing and so friendly I advise you strongly to go here!

I ordered lamb kebab and they burned meats and vegetables fries are burned too thanks this is first and last time change your chef

Love the food at this Greek Restaurant. Consistently good and not crowded if you go on a weekday.

It's been a while since I had Greek food I used to go almost daily when I loved in long island. The prices were reasonable for a gyro sandwich, it was not bad, everything felt fresh but I wasn't blown away. I got the chicken gyro, it could have been juicier and the sauce didn't have much flavor. We bought sangria which was bottled but it also lacked flavor and didn't have the wow factor like when you go to pío pío. Either way i can't say it's a bad place but I wasn't impressed with they gyro or sangria. Server was very kind and attentive. My two favorite places are back in long island, still yet to find something that comes even close.

We love to enjoy a great meal with a nice bottle of wine, so we were excited to try after reading reviews. I can't believe our experience here differed so much from their great reveiws. Possibly an off night in the kitchen, but EVERYTHING across the board was lacking flavor, starting with the tzatziki, which was essentially a plate of yogurt with a literally a few shreds of cucumber. Boyfriend got the octopus appetizer which had a taste of lighter fluid (yikes!) and a seafood platter for dinner. I had a very mediocre Greek salad which was served with what tasted like a splash of vinegar. Had to ask for dressing. $8 charge for grape leaves if you want them. Aren't they a staple in a Greek salad? Spanokopita was fine. Far better food and authentic experience at Lefteris.

Wow, wow, wow! The food was amazing! Like literally out of this world. Will be coming again and again!

Love this place. Prices have gone up. A bit pricey for me. Still love it though. Unfortunately they have the same cost pressures as everyone rose.

I ordered delivery through ubereats, I ordered chicken gyro and fried calamari. I've selected to have everything on my chicken gyro like onions lettuce tzatziki sauce, and got plain and tasteless chicken sandwich, plus to mention they even called me on phone and asked me how I like my sandwich and I told them I want everything on it, so how dumb you have to be to miss that. Fried calamari was horrible too, first time ordering at this restaurant, was very exciting about it because i like greek food but never again.

Always so many wonderful Greek choices. Parking is a bit challenging
Service always great!

We’ve only had take out so can’t comment on atmosphere - but the food is fantastic. Every time we call they are super friendly and responsive. We love everything we’ve gotten - the dips, salads, spanakopita, and the imam. Portions are extremely generous. We go out of our way to pick it up and it’s always worth it.

Food full of flavour and the staff were extremely welcoming and accommodating! Definitely recommend!

Nice little place that is very popular. Food is delicious and the servers are very quick and friendly. Definitely recommend for great Greek food!
