Right after gym we were kinda hungry and tired. We just wanted a place close by and felt like having something crispy hahaha, I know right. The best way to reward ourselves after a good workout! We were going to attempt walking to the restaurant, but thankfully we didn’t. It ended up being a lot farther than we thought.
Taverna Greka
326 Columbia Street, New Westminster BC
Tel# (604) 526-6651
Upon reaching the place we found parking kinda just a few steps away from the place. Not bad right, what makes it even better is that the meter parking if free after 6pm….awesome.
The place itself is very nice, ask for a table by the window and the view ain’t that bad. The menu is quite extensive but we already have our typical greek favs.
We got a combination appetizer platter. Its a lot more food than the picture actually depicts. Both Colleen and I had a hard time finishing this dish. Which made us kinda regret ordering our entrees. This combo came with calamari, sausages, that spanokopita and humus for dippin…..all was delicious, no complaints.
Of course the pita bread was part of the appy platter and they were quite generous. As for my entree I got the roast lamb as usual, the thing came all broken apart, not with the bone but just the pieces of the lamb and I wasn’t expecting that. The portion was okay but I’ve had bigger portions of lamb elsewhere. Taste wise it was only okay.
Colleen got a baked fish dish , don’t really know how to describe it but it was rather lemony in my opinion and I didn’t like it, neither did Colleen. LOL She pretty much took 1 bite and left the rest, concentrating only on the rice and potato.
Overall, we found this place to be just okay, I would go back for the appy platter but that’s about it.
