Pyrgos Taverna

Best greek food in the area. Love their tzatziki sauce, has a bit of a kick to it.

What is with the service here… weird attitude.
Can I please have some basic pleasant service to go along with the great food? Cause then I’ll be back, often, with groups and phatty tips… if not I’ll find somewhere else to bring my business.
Thanks
Ps: maybe the place would actually fill up then ;)

Exactly the atmosphere you’d expect in a Greek Taverna, down to the blue and white tablecloths on the simple rectangular tables to the greenery hanging from the ceiling to the Greek music playing softly from the speakers.
We were greeted warmly at the door and the hostess made our kids feel welcome.
Portion sizes were generous (neither my wife nor I could clean our plates) and arrived quickly and hot. I had the escargot appetizer and the moussaka main — both were tasty and just what I was hoping for. Rae had the (best ever) dahlmates and the lamb souvlaki, both amazing. The lamb was beautifully done and perfectly tender.
We’re coming back!

And you will blow your proverbial load so bring tissues.

Food was great. Calamari was decent, lamb souvlakia was very tender, BBQ chicken was amazing. Good portions.
But service… needs serious attention! It was completely empty in there, but poor service (such a downer).
But My parents live close by, so well try again.

We ordered food for takeout and my family thought the souvlaki was okay, just okay. The moussaka I ordered was just okay as well. The calamari was the worst I have ever had, seriously — it tasted like burnt rubber. I’m pretty sure if I had picked up frozen greek food and reheated it, it would have been more enjoyable and cheaper too. Also, when my daughter stopped by earlier in the afternoon to pick up a menu they didn’t have any available and told her to look it up on line, but they don’t have a website so you have to hunt through menu sites to find it. It wasn’t worth the bother.

Went here for a Christmas work lunch. Before this visit I have had Greek food else where. Overall the food was very good. I had the assorted Souvlaki, it was lamb beef and chicken on a skewer with Rice potatoes and Greek salad. Also came with pita bread and tzatziki sauce. It was around 2:00pm so there was only two other tables, so service was good. Everything was so good! Will defiantly be going back!

When it comes to Greek restaurants, there are a few factors that I like to use as my golden standard: greek potatoes, dolmathes, and the souvlaki. In an ideal world the potatoes will be lemony and not overly greasy, the dolmathes will be moist and their sauce light and creamy, and the souvlaki will be tender and well seasoned. On all accounts, Pyrgos Taverna delivered!
I wasn’t sure what to expect, since this restaurant is out in downtown Haney. We were meeting family for a birthday celebration and they had all raved about the food here, so I was cautiously optimistic about the experience. We arrived for an early dinner just before 6 PM and there were only a couple of other diners in the joint, but I knew it was early, and also two days before Christmas, so I chalked up the quietness to those factors.
My family had the saganaki (another good measure of Greek food — sometimes it is oily and tastes of the alcohol used to cook it) and calamari to start, and both were quite tasty. The calamari was a bit brown, but it wasn’t at all greasy or too tough, and the saganki was perfect. We then proceeded to share the combo platter #1 (lamb chops, keftedes, chicken souvlaki, mousaka & dolmathes accompanied by the standard rice, potatoes, salad & tzatziki with pita). The meat items were tender, well seasoned and cooked just right, the dolmathes were lightly creamy and lemony, and the mousaka was downright delicious (a hint of cinnamon)!
I noticed on several other ratings sites that people had complained about slow service, but we didn’t have a problem with this at all. Our server was prompt without being too overbearing and our food all arrived at once and in a timely fashion. We had a BIT of a wait for the bill, but we were having a lovely visit and I suspect our server didn’t want to interrupt.
This is one Greek restaurant that I will happily return too, and with family out their way, I’m sure it will be sooner than later.
