    Wonderful greek food. The waitstaff is incredibly friendly with a nice quiet ambience with greek music in the background. Have had lamb kabobs as well as grilled calamari. Both dishes were the best I have ever had. We have started with the dips and pita- excellent. Reasonably priced- I would recommend highly.

    Awful seating. Way too noisy. Fish fry. Coming here for many years. Going to take a long break.Also, place needs a good scrubbing.

    I would recommend not to go on a Friday night. It was extremely busy and the overall quality of the food was not good. I think because everything was too rushed.

    Telly’s Taverna has been a family favorite of ours for the past three decades. It is the best place for Greek seafood - hands down. The fish is always fresh and cooked deliciously. Service is always friendly and efficient. The owner, Diana, is always an attentive host. I recommend it very strongly.

    Excellent dinner with my family (6 of us) on Sunday. The food was all incredible, from the appetizers to our meals. I had the lamb chops which were maybe the best I’ve had. Service was great and everyone was very friendly. Love coming here!

    The appetizer dip dish was great. I ordered Red snapper and it was dry, and tasteless! My wife ordered lamb chops and loved them. Too noisy however.

    Are we enjoying this incredibly authentic Greek fish dinner in Athens....or is it Astoria? Amazingly fresh and delicious, as always. Thank you Diana and staff for a great night out! See you again soon....
