Mamakas Taverna

Grilled Octopus

Charcoal-kissed tentacles with a tender interior and nicely caramelized exterior, brightened with citrus and herbs — the dish that consistently earns its praise here.

Saganaki

Pan-fried Greek cheese served molten inside and golden-crusted outside, traditionally finished tableside with a squeeze of lemon.

Loukoumades

Pillowy fried dough puffs drizzled with honey and dusted with cinnamon — light enough to order even when you think you're full.

Lamb Chops

Herb-marinated and grilled to order, arriving with good char and pink centers — straightforward execution that rewards the quality of the cut.

Spanakopita

Flaky phyllo triangles filled with spinach and feta, baked until shatteringly crisp — a reliable rendition of the classic.

Taramasalata

Whipped fish roe dip with a balanced salinity and creamy texture, best scooped onto the warm pita that accompanies the mezze spread.
