" I had a fantastic time at Telly's Taverna during my last visit. The bread served was so fresh and warm, delightful to start with. My main dish, the spanakopita, was utterly delicious and definitely something to rave about! The environment felt very warm and welcoming. The staff were friendly and seemed to enjoy their jobs. I will surely return soon for another meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" I love Telly's! The fried calamari is the best I've had in the area, light and crispy. The grilled octopus is a must-try; it's tender and packed with flavor. The atmosphere can get a bit loud during peak hours, but that's part of the charm. The restaurant's authenticity is undeniable, as each dish reminds me of the Greek meals I enjoyed while living abroad. I can't recommend this place enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at Telly's was a delightful experience. The ambiance was cozy, and the staff greeted us with a warm welcome. We ordered several appetizers to share, including hummus and grilled sardines, which were both standouts. Everything was fresh and nicely presented. The only downside was that it was quite busy, so it took a little longer to get our main dishes. Overall, a lovely place I would definitely recommend! " (*Curated Review*)
