I have been going to Mykonos Taverna ever since it was a take away back in the day. The food has always been simply amazing and very tasty. Since it reopened 20 years ago it has gone from strength to strength. The signature dish (lamb shank) is simply irresistible and the calamari is the best in town. Food portions are more than reasonable and everything is fresh. Great festive atmosphere and super-efficient and friendly staff. Always a winner.

After reading all the reviews on this restaurant, we decided to try it out. We pitched up without a reservation and even though the place was packed, they happily made a plan and accommodated us. Staff were friendly, very attentive and food was served really quickly. They even kept our one year old busy and entertained him so that we could quickly eat our meals. Baklava was amazing! Great place and hats off to the awesome staff. Keep it up.

Went to this restaurant with a friend for lunch. The staff are friendly and it had a very chilled ambiance. I ordered the lamb chops, with potato mash and veggies and my friend ordered baby chicken with the same sides. The portion sizes were good (the baby chicken was not so baby lol) and the food was really delicious! I really enjoyed my meal. My friend enjoyed his as well! Overall very pleasant experience.

I wasn’t a greek food fan until I tried this place!!!
Please do yourself a favour and order lamb :)

They have clean white decor with very attentive service from waiters. This place can be extremely busy or even fully booked. Please book the table if you going after payday or in summer high season.

Other food I can recommend are vegetarian gyro and calamari! Oh they are delicious!
Their ribs and chicken are okay, not wow.

A quick walk away from our home and we love it here. Simple and clean decor with a touch of fairy light magic. Greek music. Delicious food. The mezze is so yummy. Tarama, dolmades and spanakopita are a must have. The lamb gyro, the youvetsi and the sardines with a greek salad are firm favourites. Fresh and beautiful food. Bravo.

A review from a Greek herself: my favourite Greek restaurant in Cape Town. 

The food is amazing! Absolutely love the mezzes and the gyros - they’ve also got the pita bread just right. We always used to enjoy a good Mythos in the sunset but unfortunately they don’t stock them anymore. However, the service is always good though and they do plate-breaking some Saturday evenings too, which is great for functions. Highly recommend!

I’m a sucker for Greek food and Mykonos Taverna offers so really yummy Greek cuisine.

The eggplant dip is ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS !

I wish there was a tad more selection tapas wise, but what they have on offer is all good :)

To my beloved followers, family and friends

I am blessed to have the chance to write this review and will forever be grateful for this opportunity.

I was fortunate enough to stumble across the beauty of Mykanos.

And no, dear followers, not Greece;)

Just on the beautiful sea point main road - what a place.

Our guests arrived half an hour late, however this didn't spoil the mood.

Blessed followers, the food was fantastic, the service was outstanding, and the company was great.

A variety of Greek dishes are on offer, my favourite and personal recommendation : the Greek salad (haha oh guys you know I'm just pulling your leg!)

My taste buds were overwhelmed by the delicious open chicken souvlaki at a reasonable R120, and company that was priceless!

10/10 would recommend an evening at mykanos with your loved ones.

Peace, love and good food always
Marc and Ari

I'm a huge fan of this restaurant and especially greek. However in this case they dropped the ball. The meat was flavourful but far too greasy. The chips were also oily. We had the lamb souvlakis both. In any event, the venue and service is still excellent. Looking forward to a better experience next time!

As popular as it may be, it's really not easy to find good meze style Greek food. You will though at this little taverna on sea point main road. It's good value for money and fairly consistent all round.
Although I have been many times over the last couple of years I've never actually eaten past the meze section - but in this regard, I would recommend trying it all. The only exception made, is for spare ribs which dont actually feature on the menu. A bit strange as a choice in a Greek restaurant but a rather delicious one at that!!!

I've heard lots of good things about Mykonos Taverna, so was very glad to try it out. We started our meal off with a village Greek salad and some meze - calamari, squid heads and tiropita - and followed it with chicken sovlaki. Delicious, quality food. Service was a bit slow.

Came here last night for a friend's birthday celebration. What a fantastic place! Not only was the service top notch (we were a table of around 14 and the restaurant was busy) but the food was incredible. I had the baby chicken (it was a full sized adult). The food was incredible.

It's not because I'm Greek, it's because it's good. Traditional taverna with traditional layout and food. Wine served in caraf and meze platters to share...with the Greek music in the background, the atmosphere is lively and fun. A nice look and feel...you could be in Greece somewhere. Good experience overall.

I visited the restaurant for dinner in couple. We had a mixed platter of mezze, a mussaka and a dish of mini pasta with pulled lamb meat. Everything very tasty and with a light feel to it, after dinner we didn't feel heavy at all. It was pleasant also to sit on the veranda on sea point. Maybe the lights could be better adjusted and the oil candles could be avoided. In general I don't like sitting at a table where I have to breath a chemical burning oil . Food wise though nothing to complain about, even better than many restaurants in Greece.

This is my happy place of a restaurant. I leave satisfied, every time. Their chilli sauce is my kryptonite (I can literally eat it with a spoon it's so good). The environment is relaxed, welcoming, family-friendly, and alive. Service can be slow and a bit erratic depending on how busy the night is, but it's never felt rude or apathetic so it's never bothered me. Their food is amazing, and I am always excited to go back. Five stars because of the shameless fake vine on the ceiling!

Finally tried out this restaurant which has always been exceptionally busy whilst driving past and now we know why. Even though it was quite full for a Saturday night their service was impeccable. I was also very impressed by their food with fresh ingredients, home made everything, and original menu. We ordered the mezze platter for 2 and were left very satisfied a special mention about their calamari and aubergine dishes which were outstanding. The ambiance is uniquely Greek as well and very lively. A very down-to-earth and overall great restaurant, a must try.

Told my friends I went to Mykonos. Sigh... I wish; but this place is authentic enough - I imagine, decorated in the obligatory blue and white with Greek music playing in the background. Luckily no plate breaking. Really pleasant for a family lunch on a hot Sunday in Sea Point. Service was excellent; management was visible; the meze very nice. Cumin spiced meatballs excellent.
The wine: Springfield Chardonnay wild yeast 2014. Delicious!
Baby seats available.

Having heard amazing things about Greek restaurants you can imagine my glee when I was taken to one for a late lunch! Firstly- there's just a lovely, family feel to this place. The interior is unassuming and all the more charming for it! The menu is delightful as well. I was super impressed with the platter options and this is what we went for- a little bit of everything! The dolmades were my favourite item off the menu- super tasty! I hope that I get to visit many times over!

Our weekly Sunday lunch spot and the best place to eat, drink and be merry with friends. Excellent Greek food - not overly sophisticated but simple and delicious - craft beer on tap, always happy with the service and extremely consistent. Try the mezze platter, youvetsi, grilled calamari or chicken souvlaki and finish off with some sticky baklava.

Another Greek restaurant discovered for the first time. Very nice vibe and feel to the restaurant. Service isn't the friendliest, but the food made up for it!!! Really good food.

Consistently awesome! If you're searching in Sea Point for fantastic food at a reasonable price and a buzzing atmosphere, this is your place. Try a meze platter as a meal, if you're two, or as a starter if you're more. The little meatballs and tsatziki, baby squid, haloumi and eggplant dip are pure yumminess... I also love their crispy sardines as a starter. And don't forget their grilled calamari stuffed with feta, rich and flavorful. You might have to go several times because the lemony kleftiko that falls off the bone is also a must :) Just one note, the last couple of times I noticed their lamb chops portion has shrunk, so rather go for the kleftiko... Maybe we'll see them grow again soon...?? I love this place. You won't be disappointed!

Mykonos Taverna always delivers a great meal, with a decidedly Hellenic motif. The food does not disappoint. Having tasted dozens of Gyros from the islands of Greece, chef Dimitri's dishes are on the top of the list. Passion and love for Greek food is evident in the food.

This place is a sure win whatever the occasion. Despite having been at least 6 times in the past few months, we have never been disappointed. Food is served quickly and is always tasty. The Melitzanes and Lamb or Pork skewers are highly recommended as are the Gyros. Greek cuisine at its lemony best.

Mykonos is a good and reliable Greek resto. We also tried as take away and results was good. We particularly appreciated that, once notified of the missing plate, they came to deliver it at our place.

While most plates are tasty, they may not always be super light but that's part of the Greek cuisine. A bit less of cream in spinash or oil in the vegetables would be a nice improvement though. But their food is tasty and a real pleasure.

They have proven to be kids friendly, which was a real plus for us.

I am a serious Greek food fiend and almost always go for the calamari. Mykonos Taverna serves authentic Greek cuisine with a few other items on the side.
I chose the grilled calamari and my friend had the chicken wrap. Very tasty.

Wow!!! Absolutely amazing family restaurant!!

Food: incredibly tasty, no one at my table was disappointed and we all had different dishes. The portion are very well sized for their prices from starters through to dessert.

Service: although the waiters aren't warm necessarily warm, they are extremely quick and efficient with perfect kitchen to table time and sufficient periods between courses. Also the staff were very well mannered and I was amazed when they came and brought my table a complimentary piece of cake for the birthday girl.

The restaurant has an authentic feel to it but definetely not a place to come for a fancy dinner, basically just a family lunch. Over all, no reason not to give it a full rating as I just had an over all amazing experience here.

We stopped by this Greek gem late on a Sunday night and were received by the most enthusiastic young waiter. He informed us that he had only been working there for a few days and had very little experience with Greek food. Despite this fact, he gave excellent recommendations and his service topped off a fantastic evening filled with delicious flavourful food.

The yuvetsi was my highlight. The sauce was rich and the lamb wonderfully tender. The seafood platter was fresh with hints of lemon making it the perfect choice for a summer evening.

Although the setting isn't particularly fancy, the simplicity of the well executed Mediterranean cooking and the genuinely friendly service makes Mykonos a must visit.

Mykonos Taverna offers an authentic Greek experience. I order the grilled chicken every time I come here - it is that good. The meat is so perfectly cooked and seasoned that I can't help but reorder the dish. The service has a homely and welcoming feel to it, allowing the guest to just relax while enjoying someone else's company. Great food, good service and an enjoyable atmosphere.

Lovely little gem in the heart of Sea Point and love that it's within walking distance from my apartment. Food is bursting with flavour and so tasty. Got there a bit late so only opted for a few mezzes. The pita bread is wafer thin and so delicious. The village green salad is fresh and salad for 1 was enough for 2 people. Very reasonably priced, generous portions and seriously good food. Waiters were very attentive and food came out very quickly. Looking forward to go back soon.

I thoroughly enjoyed my evening at Mykonos Taverna! It was a scorcher of a day and we were seated inside not near any windows or doors so it was very warm. However the atmosphere was great and the food even better and very well priced.

I tried the pasta rice with lamb which was very tasty but quite rich for me. Their hummus is probably the best I've tasted and I highly recommend trying it.

Their portions are good and the food is the next best thing to being invited to a Greek spit.

I must say I was pleasantly surprised by this place. They were extremely busy the evening we were there, I guess being season and all and they managed to make a plan for a table for myself and two friends who had not booked. Service was not the best from an attentive point of view but the waiter got the job done with the numerous tables I saw her attending too. Food came out in fair time for the business of the place and as we like to eat small dishes and share it is generally more time consuming to prepare. Everything we had was delicious from spanakopitas to the keftedes. Slouvaki to the the dolmades. I can highly recommend this place as mezze/tapas are always a great social vibe and way forward.

First time eating here and it was a brilliant evening. We were welcomed in at the entrance by the host and sat at our table. We were only 5 of us and got placed at a table of 8. It was too big and we requested to switch tables and it was done with no questions asked. Our waitress was excellent, very knowledgeable and ensured that we had a great meal. My wife and I shared fried haloumni and feta and spinach spinakopitas to start and for mains I had the lamb shwarma and my wife had the lamb shank. Both were absolutely brilliant and the taste-wise it was phenomenal and can't stop talking about it. I snuck in an ice cream and bar one sauce to finish off my meal, great way to finish. I'll definitely be back.

Initially, the appeal of this restaurant was that it was actually open on a Sunday (which is more than I can say for quite a few other restaurants). However, I learnt pretty quickly that the food is its bread winner! It was delicious and was served in good time and without error. As a vegetarian, I was limited to two main meals, one of which was just a plain Greek salad, which isn't great and possibly my only gripe with the restaurant - but what I got was still really yummy. AND it's in Sea Point, which is one of my favorite areas at the moment. I'm so pleased that my first review can be such a positive one and believe me when I say I'm a food snob, so it wasn't ever going to be easy for them!

A little Sea Point institution. The food and service is good and consistent. The Greek salad, Keftedes and stuffed calamari are my favourites on the menu.

I have been coming to Mykonos for four years, I come at LEAST once every two weeks, the staff and owner have become good friends and like a second family to me and my boyfriend. I absolutely love everything about Mykonos! The kleftiko lamb is out of this world, the bar one cheese cake is a dream come true. On busy nights the wait can be a bit longer but it's always worth the wait :) the staff are always friendly and there's always a lovely atmosphere, especially on Greek Evenings (last Saturday of each month) we dance the night away and break plates.

We were lucky enough to get a table on a busy friday night after another group didnt pitch for their booking... What a night! The vibe was amazing... And the food, oh how I wish I lived in Cape Town. It very rarely happens to us that when mains arrive, no one at the table has order envy... Everyone was so in love with the meal they ordered. Usually everyone is asking to try the others meal, but on this very night we were all giving bites away saying "you have to taste this" "NO but u have to taste mine" Well done Mykonos Taverna. The only reason why I didnt score the full 5 is because the waitress was a bit ditzy... Made a mistake or two and spilled wine all over the table, but we were so satisfied we just laughed it off... It almost added to the atmosphere. Thanks for a great evening.

A sudden craving for Greek food lead me to this great restaurant! As many of the other reviews suggest - mykonos doesn't disappoint. I shared a meze platter with a friend and enjoyed every bite. Fresh and flavoursome food and on a student budget I can't say my money was wasted. I'd recommend Mykonos Taverna for a relaxed family dinner.

I had the Yuvetsi a lamb and orzo (pasta rice) dish that was so delicious I felt like I had a foodgasm everytime I had a mouth full, paired with a full bodies red wine...

Based on the food we had, which was really tasty, would have been able to give a higher mark if they would have had their baby chicken on the night - but alas. Service a bit shaky but the restaurant was full - a visit by the manager would have been nice. Altogether a good meal and would certainly recommend.

Beautiful relaxing environment. Food is absolutely glorious. The grilled chicken fillets where suculent and flavour filled. A real gem that offers great value for money!

Excellent Greek food! It's a great place to go with a large group on people, noisy is welcome and it seems like the kind of place where everyone can join in. The owner wanders around and greets everyone like an old friend, and the staff are friendly and always available. It's the kind of place that makes sitting in a cafe on main road Sea Point feel like a Greek taverna on Santorini, and you're a little surprised when you walk out and a taxi zooms past...

Only been here twice and both times I enjoyed the food. The baby chicken they offer is really delicious and great value and of coarse the shwarmas are always good. My wife still claims that Ari's souvlaki is the best for shwarmas but I am sold on this place. One of my favourites there as well is their home made chilli sauce...to die for and in fact bought a bottle. Highly reccommended and price wise not that unfair.

Great food, decor and service. I think the last Saturday of the month they do traditional Greek dancing and plate smashing - but you need to book as its very popular.

The food looked and smelled sooo divine I forgot to take photos! That just means I NEED TO GO BACK!! We went late at night and it was lovely. If it is your birthday they sing for you (yay!). No playes were broken though. It is a family restaurant which feels warm and looks authentic. We ordered 3 meals and shared among ourselves to taste everything. We had the lamb chops (so juicy and succulent); the chicken fillet with feta and parmesan (rich, creamy and delightful) and we had the seafood trio (thinking about the fish makes me want to have it all over again. The highlight was the kingklip; the calamari was great to but the prawns were just above average). I would rate the food an 8.5 out of 10. They also have homemade chilli (bonus!)

I love Greek food and don't often get the chance to eat it, so was delighted to find Mykonos on a recent visit to Sea Point. The staff were warm, friendly and welcoming and we had excellent service throughout the evening from all waiters, not just the one who was allocated to our table . I actually complimented the manager on the level of service as it was so good. Food was very good, served quickly and was really tasty. We had a selection of mezze which was a great way to taste different things. The calamari tubes were especially delicious as were the triangles filled with feta. But it was all delicious. I've only given 4 stars for the atmosphere as it was rather empty, think it needs more people to give some vibe. But a really good evening anyway.

Long established Sea Point eaterie. Standard, non fussy good quality Greek style food. Large portion of tasty Kleftiko and and silky mash potato. Fish combo could have been hotter when served, just on the edge of it being sent back. Will, of course go back.

Food was average Service was excellent - specially our waiter Kennedy who was very helpful. The team has some way to go to improve the food and nail it as authentic Greek but at least they have a good team of waiters in place to deliver that.

I’ve been here before and I don’t remember it to be as good as it was this time. It was one of the best meals I have had in a long time. The lamb yiro is amazing. We shared a few dishes and all of them were really really good. I heard that they may be closing and or moving some time soon. I hope they move and don’t close down because this is a really top Greek restaurant in Sea Point. Phone and book because it is popular and gets very busy.

Best Greek food in Cape Town. The Mezze is always so delicious and tastes exactly as it would in Greece. A must try restaurant. Wonderful variety and everything flavourful and delicious.

We ate there last night and got huge value for money! Food is generous and hearty and authentically Greek! Service was attentive. We loved it. It's not a fancy restaurant, but well worth it for Greek cuisine.
