Taziki's Mediterranean Cafe - Cary - Waverly Place

The salmon feast is a wonderful meal for lunch. The salad and rice are so filling that I didn't even eat dinner later. The salmon is grilled to perfection and is so delicious. Go to this place ASAP!

The worst gyro I ever had. The lamb has always been sliced at every other establishment but there were ground and just made a bad presentation. No exceptional flavor on the meat, barely any Taziki sauce, grilled red onions, chunky pieces of romaine lettuce and an over-powering flavor of feta crumbled. The roasted potatoes were tender with an odd flavor. The Greek salad was ok. The honey whipped feta I liked with soft pita pieces. The regular whipped feta was too sour tasting. The lemon chicken rice soup was also the worst I’ve had. Someone squeezed a half of lemon in it so defined citrus favor. Stringy chicken pieces, long pieces of carrots and basmati rice; a weird choice for me. The staff were great, plenty of space in the nicely decorated restaurant with a great outdoor eating area.

I love Tazikis’s. Their salads are fresh, the Greek lemon chicken soup is perfect on a cold day. I just tried their meatballs and they were delicious. We’ve also ordered the family meals several times and they do not disappoint. The service is so wonderful as well….Especially Gary. He’s always so nice.

The salmon platter with rice and salad is excellent, especially for fast casual on the go. Everything was fresh and flavorful, and the portion size was generous for the price. Service was great and the food came out quickly. A solid, reliable spot.

What a mistake I made going in to this restaurant. I ordered the harissa chicken pita with tomato cucumber salad as a side and also the side of falafel with taziki’s (their spelling, not mine) sauce. While waiting, I used the restroom and was looking around the restaurant and it was pretty dirty everywhere. The lights in the hallway by the bathroom were out and it was very dark going back there. After waiting about 10 minutes, my food came up and it was disappointment with each bite. First, the Taziki’s sauce is horrible. It tasted like there was a small amount of bleach in the batch. The falafel had no flavor, and was soft and falling apart. The chicken was overcooked and dry. Every single bite was worse than one before it and I ended up just throwing it away after a few bites.
