Snack Taverna is located in a very cute spot in the West Village. It's nothing fancy, but it gets the job done for a quick, casual, Greek meal.Overall, the food is relatively average. I'm sure you could get something similar at another Greek restaurant that is the same quality. The service is also average. Our server was very busy, but we asked him a question and he seemed very irritated and walked away to take another table's order. We waved him down to ask again, and he was still a little rude. I will say he was the only server, so I get him being overwhelmed. He was nice by the end when the crowd died down. The ambiance is side is also very casual. There are so interesting photographs on the wall and the decor is otherwise very old and minimal. It feels like a cafe. Pork souvlaki: 8/10This dish was not what I expected at all. The meat was shredded and came in a pita. There were two pita souvlaki's with a random side salad. The pita was soft, and I really enjoyed the flavors of the meat. What did it for me was the honey harissa. I would love to dip anything and everything in that sauce. The portion size was good, and I was contently full by the end of the meal.

We LOVE Snack Traverna and while there are thousands of restaurants in New York City, we. Will often meet our dearest friends for special occasions at Snack Traverna when we want to impress them with our wisdom at picking a restaurant where everything they serve is absolutely delicious! This evening we invited our friends to celebrate a special birthday. We started with their 4 Dip Sampler ( served with their homemade pita) and their Beet Salad.Then we had their Spinach Triangles and their Zucchini Fritters. We also ordered their phenomenal Haloumi Skewers and their Saganaki! For dessert we shared their delightful chocolate cake and their homemade and awesome rice pudding!

I've been to Snack Taverna a few times (before pandemic and after) because my old apartment was very close by. Unfortunately, I would generally not recommend this restaurant, especially with so many more delicious options around the area with far superior service. I've gotten a few different types of dishes from this restaurant (varying across brunch and dinner), but I can't even describe them because they were so forgettable. The food is pretty mediocre and so is the service. Although the staff is friendly enough, the service is really slow, even when it seems like there are only a few other customers.To be fair, there are some positives here. Snack Taverna is a small restaurant with a charming ambiance located on a quiet street in West Village. Also, I've generally not had to wait to get a table. However, to me, the positives don't outweigh the negatives.

If you want some tasty Mediterranean fare, and don't want to get in a shouting match while eating, Snack Taverna is the place for you. Lots of vegetarian options. The 3 dip sampler is good. Spinach triangles not bad. Halloumi artichoke salad gets a thumbs up. Asparagus nothing to dream about. They use a glass tumbler for a wine glass. Cos that's how it's done in Greece. Or something.

Good neighborhood Greek spot with lamb specialties. Tends to be a bit more quiet compared to nearby hotspots.

These two dishes were exquisite. The depth and complexity of the flavors, reflect the abundance of spices that went into them. Also the bread was warm. 9/10.1. lamb triangles (spiced lamb, capers, graviera cheese baked in phyllo)2. muhammara (red pepper, pomegranate, walnuts, harissa and peasant bread)

I used to love this place and recommended it often. The food was so fresh and delicious. The service was wonderfully kind and welcoming. However, today, I took my aunt here for a late lunch/early dinner for her birthday. We were one of three tables in the place and our waiter projected a sense of annoyance. We didn't have utensils so I reached over to borrow the utensils wrapped in a fabric napkin from a nearby table. The waiter snatched back the napkins, utensils and the plates. I explained it was my aunt's birthday and we were met with a blank stare. We ordered, the food was OK but not as good as I remembered. Our waiter disappeared for a long period of time. When he returned, we felt like we were an inconvenience to him. I was embarrassed to bring my aunt here for her birthday. I don't think I can recommend this place again.

Stopped in for a glass of wine after dinner with some friends and had a great time! Staff were extremely friendly and had great suggestions for wine! It was very comfortable and cute inside- Christmas lights were up and it felt festive. Great little spot!!
