We had two beautiful meals here. The atmosphere was brilliant and all the staff were amazing. We would highly recommend it and would definitely go back there again.
We had three wonderful meals at the Syrtaki Taverne while spending a week in Argassi, Zakynthos. The food was very tasty and hot! Our servers were also very pleasant and welcoming! Whenever they would bring out the house special, Lamb Klefito, they would play Greek music and joyfully parade the flaming dish to the ordering customer. Once delivered, they would give the patron a dish to smash on the floor! It was a fun experience that old and young alike enjoyed! We also had grilled whole sea bream, lamb chops, schnitzel, and lamb Sagnoki plates during our visits. I definitely recommend Syrtaki Taverne for great food and a fun dining experience! See attached photos of several meals.

Such an amazing restaurant with delicious food. They follow and show Greek traditions with smashing plates and their famous Lamb Kleftiko! Wow such an experience!! I definitely recommend to dine at this restaurant!
Went back a few times during our holiday as the atmosphere was so lovely. Every single person working there was so kind to us. They are busy but they take time to have fun and have chats with people. The food was very good!
