Taverna Greek Kitchen - SMJ

The food here is truly exceptional. Some of my standout favourites include the sea bass carpaccio, grilled octopus, mixed grill, and the perfectly cooked lamb chops. On our recent visit, the chef made a personal appearance at the tables, offering tailored recommendations that completely exceeded our expectations. This thoughtful gesture added a warm, personal touch to an already outstanding dining experience. Highly recommended for both the quality of cuisine and the impeccable hospitality.

Loved this place. The food was super delicious and their menu has a wide variety of greek dishes. They serve first a complimentary pita bread with olives, super delicious. The service was perfect and the seating is just amazing. I did not quite enjoyed the fries but other than that, I loved everything

Taverna Greek Kitchen at Souk Madinat Jumeirah offers a warm, authentic Greek dining experience in a picturesque setting. Situated along the waterfront promenade, the restaurant provides both indoor and outdoor seating with views of the tranquil waterways and the iconic Burj Al Arab. The ambiance combines rustic charm with modern elegance, featuring illuminated arches and a visible charcoal grill that adds to the lively atmosphere. Unfortunately little bit noisy with only 6/7 tables, I can’t imagine it was full. Workers are really good and they make you comfortable. We captured the ambiance and dishes in photos and videos to give you a better sense of what to expect. Take a look before you visit.

Fantastic in so many ways. Outdoor seating is perfect in this weather. Very charming and pleasant atmosphere. Food is great. Service is excellent! Fast, friendly, precise, no mistakes (even though they are full, each table was occupied, so they had a busy operation), they were attentive to the booking note I’ve mentioned when made a reservation that we celebrated our anniversary. They got us a nice little dessert on the house. It was very beautiful experience and I’m looking forward to coming back soon! Thank you ❤️

Taverna at Souk Madinat has a beautiful location with a lovely ambiance, perfect for a relaxing meal. The food was enjoyable, though it could be a bit more authentic to capture the true essence of Greek cuisine. That said, the service was friendly, and the setting by the water makes it worth a visit. Great spot for a lunch or anything evening out!

Outstanding Experience at Taverna Greek Restaurant! Taverna is a true hidden gem that delivers an authentic Greek dining experience with top-notch service and unforgettable flavors. We recently celebrated my brother and his wife’s anniversary here, and everything—from the warm ambiance to the exceptional food—made it a night to remember. A special shoutout to Ben, who was an absolute star! His hospitality, attention to detail, and genuine enthusiasm made us feel like honored guests. He guided us through the menu with fantastic recommendations and ensured our celebration was extra special. We started with grilled octopus, which was perfectly charred on the outside yet tender and flavorful on the inside. The grilled fish was cooked to perfection—fresh, flaky, and seasoned just right. The salads were refreshing and crisp, bursting with Mediterranean flavors. And let’s talk about the cheese pie—golden, flaky, and oozing with deliciousness! Just when we thought we couldn’t be more impressed, the restaurant surprised us with a complimentary dessert to celebrate the occasion. This thoughtful gesture truly elevated our experience and showcased their dedication to hospitality. If you’re looking for authentic Greek cuisine, impeccable service, and a restaurant that makes every visit feel special, Taverna is the place to go. And if you’re lucky enough to have Ben as your server, you’re in for a treat! We’ll definitely be back for more!

Splendid and superior Greek Restaurant, the atmosphere is amazing 🤩 and food is amazing, we like everything there, we had a great time, service is fantastic too , appetizer and salads are fabulous, you can take the boat from jumairah hotel to it or from Al qaser hotel. I highly recommend it 🥰😍

This restaurant has a beautiful setting and atmosphere. The quality of the food is very good but unfortunately the quantity was lower than what would be expected in comparison to other similar places - for example, only one skewer of chicken as a main dish. Very friendly and attentive staff and lovely traditional Greek wine. I’d recommend it but I think they need to increase the size of some of their dishes.
