Taverna Greek Kitchen - Souk Madinat Jumeirah

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.

⸻ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had a wonderful experience at Taverna Restaurant this Saturday. Our waiter, Jimmy, provided absolutely amazing service from start to finish. He was attentive, friendly, and made us feel very welcome. His recommendation for dessert was perfect — the highlight of our visit! Thank you, Jimmy, for making our evening so enjoyable. We’ll definitely be coming back!

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.

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 serves up mouthwatering cuisine that truly delights. Every dish we sampled was delicious, with generous portions that justify the cost. This dining experience easily ranks among my favorite Greek spots—even outside of Greece! If you’re in Medinat and seeking a remarkable meal, I highly recommend this place. The customer service is equally impressive, with prompt and outstanding attention. Special thanks to Mohammad, who was both helpful and friendly throughout our visit. The food was so good I didn’t get a chance to capture all the dishes!

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!
