Taki's Greek Kitchen
Inside Taki's Greek Kitchen
Taki’s Greek Kitchen in Avon Lake offers an authentic Greek dining experience that feels genuine without the casualness of a quick gyro spot. The restaurant strikes a balance between traditional Mediterranean flavors and accommodating a range of diets, including vegan and vegetarian options, making it a thoughtful choice for diverse groups.
Inside, the atmosphere is comfortably lively but not rushed — a solid pick for both relaxed dinners and small celebrations. Seating options vary from a cozy bar area to more spacious tables and an outdoor patio, which can be particularly pleasant on warmer evenings. The staff tends to be attentive and knowledgeable, guiding guests through a menu rich with authentic dishes like moussaka, lamb shank, dolmades stuffed with ground beef and rice, and traditional desserts such as baklava and ekmek. Their cocktail and Greek beer selection adds a complementary local touch to the meal.
For diners who appreciate variety, ordering several appetizers reveals the depth of the kitchen’s flavor profiles — from crispy calamari to creamy avgolemono soup and the cheesy tang of saganaki. Portions tend to be generous, which suits those who like to share or indulge in multiple courses. Family visits are also welcomed with a children’s menu that features straightforward, crowd-pleasing choices like chicken fingers and sliders.
The vibe here suits both regulars familiar with Greek cuisine and newcomers eager to explore Mediterranean cooking beyond the typical. Weekends or early evenings are often lively, so visiting midweek or for a later dinner might offer a quieter experience. While prices lean higher than typical casual spots, many patrons find the quality and authenticity justify the cost.
One note for payment: there is a small credit card surcharge that some customers find inconvenient, so having cash on hand can simplify checkout. Overall, Taki’s is a place where good food and friendly service make for an enjoyable outing, especially if you’re in the mood to dive into thoughtfully prepared Greek dishes with fresh ingredients and plenty of flavor.
