Leo's Taverna

To preface, my friend picked this up so I can not speak much regarding the service or how the restaurant looked like, only on how the food tasted.- Chicken Wrap: It is a basic chicken caesar wrap. Nothing special but it was good and filling.- Lamb Kabob Plate: I personally was a bit disappointed with this plate. I just felt like the amount of meat was lacking in ratio to the rice.I just feel like there's better greek food just right around the corner. However, I'd be willing to possibly give the place another shot.

Called in an order. They said it would be ready within 15 min. They had a lot of take out orders so it took 25-30 min. We got their gyro plate, lamb kebabs and moussaka. The lamb and gyro meat had great flavor but the moussaka was meh. It needed salt and more flavor overall. It was one note and covered with tons of cheese or cream sauce. Portion sizes are decent for the price. I would definitely skip the moussaka next time. Parking is tough so I just pulled up right in front to pick up the food. Luckily there were multiple other cars pulled over as well so it was ok for the extra time I had to wait.

I'm kind of amazed Leo's Taverna has such low ratings on Yelp. During rush hour they are non-stop slammed. The establishment is surprisingly large. They have doors opening on Ft. St. Mall and Bishop. There's probably seating for 40 people but although they are busy, nobody really dines in. The best thing is they are located right in front of a loading zone on Bishop so if you have commercial plates with a LZ sticker, you can literally park right in front of their door and pop in for a quick bite.This place has been here forever, and although I once lived a block away I had never tried it. My impression of this place, and probably the reason why they don't have stellar reviews is that they are stuck in the 1990s and likely have never really changed. Their food, and presentation is pretty dated. Donar Shack a few blocks away delivers a more eye-appealing plate. Their menu is more modern and more visually appealing. However, Leo's has reasonable prices, reasonable portions, and what I ordered was tasty apart from the small side salad which was turning a little bit wilted/brown.I got the Imam Bayeldi, which was basically an eggplant stew served over rice. It was actually very good. At $15, it was one of the more expensive items on the menu which was interesting because it had no meat. Next time, I'd probably like to try the Chicken pie, which is only $10.95 and maybe a small side of something else. For the price, I feel this place delivers. Food comes out quite quick also.

If you want to have Moussaka plate don't expect it to be ready upon opening. I went twice before only to be told it wasn't ready yet. Today I went at 11:00 only to be told it's still in the oven for an hour more. It's disappointing because I can't come back. I may have to find another place to go if this keeps happening. And I like this place. It's my comfort.

I have driven by this establishment many times but I finally had the chance to stop by for a late lunch. It was raining pretty hard that afternoon and the place was empty. We ordered the gyros and fries combo and it was very delicious! The gyros itself was very tasty. I think I needed a little more tzatziki sauce but overall I enjoyed my gyros. Service was great and the people were friendly. The setting was quiet since we were the only two dine-ins however people did stop by to do take out orders. I definitely want to return for my gyros fix!

My new gyro spot.Good portion sizes, gyros and salads are refreshing. Fries are crispy.Staff is very friendly. Will be back!

Leo's is close by to me and I had not had the opportunity to eat there until just recently but I am super glad that I finally did get the chance. The staff is inviting and friendly, they must be a family because of the talking about k and forth. They were all smiling. The food was good and what I hoped I would get. Serving size was excellent and the fries hot. Great little restaurant with seating available. I ordered take out and you had a place to wait that was comfortable. It is worth the time to stop by and try it if you already haven't!

I ordered through Uber Eats for an account. They loved it. The food was delicious we wished their Uber Eats Menu allowed us order fries but it only comes in their value meal. I had their Beef Lule Kebab. It reminded me of Kubideh. It was so delicious. The Armenian chicken is very good. Everyone who had the Gyro Value meal loved it! Thanks for a great lunch!!

It's been some years since I've last been to Leo's Taverna. When I last ate there, I ordered the Value Meal (Gyro, French Fries, and a drink). Value Meal as in a Value Meal priced at/around $9.99 then. It was great! The wait time wasn't long (maybe 2 - 3 minutes at the most, depending on the busyness at the time). The food was fresh, and the restaurant area was clean. I hope that they're still doing well at Leo's.

I have heard through tongue and cheek about this place.It has been so long since I've had Greek food, especially living in Waipahu. It's hard to come by nowadays to find anything authentic in the central side of the island, and I guess today was that day to travel to town and visit there.So...how do I summarize what I just experienced?It was, for the most part, great. First impressions seeing the place, it looked really nice, as the atmosphere was really cool to look at. The staff did a good job with listening to what I wanted and delivered.In the past, I had my fair share of gyros from certain areas, so I decided to kick it up a notch.I decided to order a lamb souvlaki for lunch and did pair it up with a baklava to give me a decently good meal.It did cost me around $15 with the water, which I didn't mind too much. For the most part, I think it was fair.Overall, they did a really good job. I'm not 100 percent sure what I would want to eat if I went over there again, but if I ever come across a situation where I don't know what I want there, I'd definitely order their souvlaki again.
