Yannis Greek Taverna - Houston

There’s a reason they have received such high ratings from over 100 people. The building itself isn't extravagant, but the food is exceptional and affordable. I highly recommend this place!

I've eaten here twice in one week and I can't say enough about the food and service. Everything is good!

Last Saturday evening we had dinner in one of our new neighborhood restaurants, Opa Greek Taverna. Owned by the Manolakakis family, they are proud to offer authentic prices from their home country. I ordered pastitsio, baked layers of Greek pasta, Kasseri, Mozzarella cheese and ground beef, boiled with sweet tomatoes and Mediterranean spices, and then with béchamel sauce. Anthony had the traditional Moussaka, seasoned for perfection. After Ms. Manolakaki's layers baked eggplants, potatoes, Greek cheese, zucchini and squash, they tops the casole also with béchamel sauce. To dessert we share a piece of homemade Baklava. Next time I try the Dolmades (rolled grape leaves) and the Spinat Spanakopita. With his café feeling, Opa is not unusual, but on Friday and Saturday evening from 6 pm, the family offers live Greek music and abdominal dance. The restaurant is located on 14203 Jones Road, in front of Del Pueblo. The whole experience reminded me of our Port Arthur neighbors, Pete and Mary Tragelis, and their two daughters Kathryn and Mercina. They taught me not only how they really appreciate their culture, but they also opened my eyes for the many contributions that immigrants have made to America.

I haven't had the chance to visit the restaurant yet, but I already know the food is fantastic. The owner previously ran a restaurant in Alexandria, Louisiana, where the food was not only delicious but also showcased the warmth and hospitality of the owners. The dishes are fresh, authentic, and bursting with flavor!

Oh my gosh, the food here is amazing! I absolutely love this place. Everything is delicious, and the staff is fantastic. I will definitely keep coming back!
