Taziki’s Reviews and Testimonials

Overall rating: 4.3/5 (⭐⭐⭐⭐) Based on 247 reviews

i) Judi N. – Henrico, VA: 4/5 (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐) (March 18, 2025)

This was my first visit, and I decided to try a side of pasta salad to assess the quality and flavor. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. After waiting for 20 minutes, I had to ask the line cook about my order. She apologized and handed it off to another employee — the salad had been sitting there the entire time. The portion was mostly pasta with just a few tiny tomato pieces, a small sprinkle of feta, and some wilted parsley. I’m surprised by the restaurant’s 4-star rating and would likely explore other dining options.

ii) Joey W. – San Mateo, CA: 1.5/5 (⭐⭐) (March 7, 2024)

Picked up lunch to-go since the location was convenient to my office. I ordered the Spicy Harissa Chicken Gyro, which turned out to be better than expected — flavorful and nicely seasoned. However, the chicken was a bit on the dry side. I also had the tomato cucumber salad on the side, which was light and refreshing.
