Our verdict

This fun taverna in the centre of Whangarei township has a distinctly Greek feel. There’s an interesting menu of Greek/Mediterranean inspired snacks, meals and drinks at lunch and dinner, or in between. Popular dishes include prawn souvlaki or a mezze plate along with Greek fries and fresh grilled pita with dips (including tzatziki) to capture the Mediterranean mood.
