About BAKALAKI Greek Taverna

A slice of the Aegean on Martin Road—BAKALAKI Greek Taverna brings boisterous taverna energy straight to River Valley. Big parties fill the sprawling dining room for shared feasts, passing around tender grilled octopus, bubbling clay pots of beef moussaka, and skewers of spiced kebab kalamaki. Service runs on genuine filoxenia; the floor crew steps in to steer first-timers through the Hellenic menu, right-sizing platters and pacing the spread without missing a beat. The meal winds down naturally over warm pita, whipped dips, and chocolate ice cream sent over on the house.

  • Authentic Aegean Cooking: Tables laden with charred octopus, clay-pot moussaka, and tender grilled lamb chops satisfy cravings for traditional Hellenic cooking.
  • High-Energy Group Atmosphere: A high-capacity, bustling taverna footprint built for birthdays, team dinners, and communal wine-soaked feasts.
  • Consultative Floor Hospitality: Attentive staff walk first-timers through unfamiliar specialties and curate sharing portions for the table.

    Handling a group of 25-27 people isn’t an easy task but Royston did a fantastic job making sure each and every one of us are well taken care of!
