    The Greek erasure menu was delicious & the vibes were amazing with the live music! As a pescatarian I was happy to see that there was salmon and wow it was delicious. The tsoureki was also great and so was the dessert- might I say best baklava I've had in a long time. Thank you Taverna Cretekou for a great Pascha in Alexandria!

    I hate to give low ratings, especially with inflation and a bad economy! It's a tough time! I'd still go there again, but here is what I didn't like , prices were so high compared to quality and portions! However, the place has an amazing, warm, and Greek ambiance! Anywhere you sit, it's amazing! The patio is phenomenal whenever the weather is good! Very nice staff and great customer service! Keep in mind this is at the heart of Old Town Alexandria! Everything is expensive here, but honestly, I enjoyed it and had a great time! Try it, vote for the review , message me, or compliment me with any comment or question, and don't forget to ... Pray for me ;)

    We came here on Christmas Eve for dinner. The best part of everything - their service! Full of energy, pleasant, attentive - loved it! Food was great too. You will see some pictures. But it wasn't one of the best hummus we had. Other items on their platter apps, expect grape leaves and tzatziki sauce (which were great) were average too. Lamb that my wife ordered was really good. Squid calamari was good too. But the overall festive spirit and how well were received and treated - exceptional.
