Our first visit. Very impressed! The location was easy access and there was plenty of parking. Inside, the restaurant was fresh and clean. Good seating selection and outdoor patio seating. Staff was friendly and helpful. My wife needs oil free vegan options and they made her some. I got their Friday special “spaghetti” and it was wonderful! It was a great experience. We’ll be back!

Have been to other Taziki locations and have always enjoyed their food. While maybe not truly authentic, they still do a good job with quality and flavor. The staff was friendly and even though it was mid-day, a staff member came out regularly to clean tables. You order and they bring the food to you. I had the pimento cheese app and my friend had the whipped feta app. Hands down the whipped feta was the clear winner. I had the grilled chicken pesto gyro. The chicken was a little dry, but the flavor was great. We would come back to this restaurant.

Jazz was so nice and knowledgeable. She made my friends first time such a good experience. I’ve never talked to anyone who knew SO MUCH about the food/ingredients. I’ve been to TZKI in Louisville but the service at this location is 10x better than any other location I’ve been too. We came 10 minutes before close (I know. We suck for that.) BUT the team did not make us feel like a burden or seem annoyed with us. 10/10 would highly recommend. Food was cooked to perfection. Not a long time waiting either.

I can’t speak on the atmosphere but I can tell you about the food. Serving size is large (for me) and absolutely delicious. The salad w/Balsamic vinaigrette dressing is absolutely amazing. Again, the portions can actually make two meals. I had the lamb burger (no bun), grilled veggies, potatoes and salad. I have more than enough for lunch tomorrow. Pictured below is only half of my food. Great portions!

Celiac's friendly! Lots of gluten free options. Staff was very accommodating when it comes to cross contamination (changing gloves, new food containers, etc.). Thank you!

I love tzatziki’s! It is one of my favorite places for lunch and dinner. The food is always fresh and the serving sizes are good size. So even my husband gets full! I took a friend there today for her first time and she loved it!

This was my first time here and I was blown away! The food was amazing. I had the salmon (melts in your mouth), Greek salad, and fruit. Because it was my first experience here, the general manager Bill gave me a sampler of all the dips, breads, and veggies as I couldn't decide. Very nice guy! I loved everything, couldn't eat it all, but definitely wanted to. My favorite dip was the whipped feta with honey, absolutely delicious! The staff are very friendly and helpful. The service was quick (waited less than 10 minutes for my food). Highly recommend this location. I will definitely stop here again on my way through the area.
