Minoas Greek Taverna
A restaurant in what appears to be a large 2 story house that is full of old world Greek charm,
inside and out.
It looks like an old converted house.
Seating is upstairs and place could use a makeover as the decor looks about 15 years old.
The unfortunate location of Minoas surely doesn't do it any favors -
you can barely see it from the street, as it's tucked away in an almost backroad.
The house is pretty,
well decorated and would make an excellent dining venue if the service,
food and prices were better.
The owners are friendly and welcoming.
I fell in love with the cozy, homey place.
I find the food comfortable as in home sweet home.
Minoas has authentic dishes with great flavor! Greek salad.
seafood plater $48.5
Always had good time with friends. The Tzatziki is the best I have had.
Had the roast lamb plater for our main and the portion was quite large .
Flavor was good. our lamb was served with the usual Greek accompaniments;
rice pilaf, veggies, Greek salad & lemon potatoes (the potatoes were to die for!).
The sides were a bit of a throw in as the greek salad lacked feta and dressing,
rice was good as well as the veggies.
Loved that the pita bread was cut into small trianlges!
I found the plates too small with too much stuff on it.
It's tender and delicious. the portions are good and the prices are reasonable.
The dishes are rustic, simple, and full of mediterranean flavor.
Family staff is always friendly and ready to help.
The homemade Almond cookies should not be missed.
I really like the house and the way it is decorated,
with plenty of room for a quiet table for two, or a large party.
A great place to enjoy good times.
backlave $5.45

on the weekends are belly dancers too!
The rooms are filled with lush plants &
there's a cozy old rustic wooden floor that speaks to you if you listen.
2 thumbs & 2 big toes up for minoas taverna.
All around, this place is great.
This place has a good balance between quality and quantity,
unlike some Greek restaurants which give you a lot of food, that isn't any good.
I definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for great Greek food.
