Very good authentic food and wine. Service was very friendly and helpful. We took Yakut Turkish red wine, grilled cheese, octopus, lamb souvlaki, kunefe and Turkish black tea. Everything was very tasty. Greek music and decoration was also perfect.

Palo Alto

About the restaurant

For centuries, a taverna has been a neighborhood gathering place where friends can meet to eat, drink and enjoy life. Taverna co-founders Thanasis Pashalidis and Hakan Bala were raised with a shared ethical compass, which the Greeks call "philotimo" or "love of honor". Family and friends are their ingredients of life, and they believe that nutrition, happiness and health are all directly correlated. Both partners have been culturally influenced by the remedies of the old world and incorporate them into the lifestyle of Taverna. Both have an "ethos" that drives them and inspires others to live fully, which they consider the flavor of life's success. They understand that life is to be enjoyed and that time is of the essence. They are aware that every day is a gift.

Taverna has been created to make people happy and feel alive.

Always amazing. Best seating is actually outdoors, as indoors can get a little noisy and tight.

About the restaurant

**For parties of 15 or more, kindly call our Events Manager
Robert Miguel at (415) 307-5609 or email robertm@barbayanitaverna.com.**

Hospitality in ancient Greece is a timeless tradition deeply woven into the fabric of its culture. In the Mediterranean, a region historically known as a melting pot of diverse cultures and cuisines, this spirit of hospitality was not only a virtue but a sacred duty. From the early times of city-states to the present day, the people of Greece have welcomed weary travelers as if they were guests from the gods themselves. This tradition is a testament to the enduring values of generosity, kindness, and warmth that have characterized Greek society for millennia. Whether it’s a simple offering of food and shelter or the sharing of stories and experiences, the essence of Greek hospitality remains as vibrant and essential today as it was in the days of Homer’s epic tales.

Dinner was great and we made it to our show at the Campbell Theater. Service was excellent, we felt taken cared of. The drinks and food were very good. I'd recommend sharing a baklava if you so choose because it is a big portion.
