As a first-time visitor to Ambeli Greek Taverna in Crawford, I was utterly blown away by the experience. From the moment I walked in, the warmth and friendliness of the staff set the tone for an unforgettable evening. The owner's personal touch in ensuring each guest feels taken care of is a rare find. It’s not just about dining here; it's about being part of a family, even if just for the evening. This level of service is something I haven’t encountered often. Now, let's talk about the food - oh, the food! The portions are generously described as 'Greek size', meaning you're in for a treat that's both delicious and hearty. Every dish I tried was a delightful journey of flavors, perfectly capturing the essence of Greek cuisine. But the real magic of Ambeli is the atmosphere. There's an undeniable charm that makes you feel like you're dining in Greece itself. It's a combination of the authentic decor, the lively ambiance, and, of course, the incredible food. In conclusion, there’s absolutely nothing negative to say about Ambeli Greek Taverna. It’s a gem that offers not just a meal, but a truly amazing, cultural experience. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a taste of Greece in Crawford!

The food was great, but the service was excellent! The dishes are very well served, and they taste fresh and homemade. The servers and owner/manager were extremely cordial. I can't recommend it more! You won't regret eating here

We went there for Mother's Day. Nice food and good atmosphere. Specially octopus dish(appetizer) was delicious. All of us loved it! My husband and mother in law loved the grilled cheese a lot which is appetizer too. I loved my food that is in photo I uploaded and it was amazing. I love their meat (how they cook) and sauce.. Overall it was very satisfied experience. The guy who looks like an owner of this restaurant say hello to every table. That also was impressive.

Awesome place to eat, fair pricing. Great service. Space inside needs to be more accommodating. The guy seating behind me had to have his chair against mine. I gad no room to move, it was uncomfortable. Aside from that, food was excellent

Loved the way you were greeted by the owner as soon as you walk in! Rarely ever done now. My group of 4 knew we were in for a great meal!! Everything was so fresh & tasty, from salads, breads to hummus & meats. You don’t go Ambeli without a reservation even on a weekday or you are in for a very long wait. Highly recommend!!!

Ambeli is everything a good restaurant is supposed to be! Delicious food, attentive (but not overly attentive) service and owners who spend time making sure every costumer is cared for. Went here with our son who had taken his gramma and sister here two separate times. His dad and I were so excited to try it after all the rave family reviews! We ordered the grilled octopus salad, shrimp/Garides Saganaki, moussakas and salads. Every dish was so good! We had a fabulous time and a delicious dessert to end our anniversary celebration out to dinner with family. Thank you Peter and Dino! We will definitely be back whenever we're in the area visiting our son!

The week prior, we tried to get reservations and all booked. Made a reservation for 3 in advance! Our first visit and we were seated by the front door. It would get chilly when the door open! Friendly staff! Food was yummy! Vegetarian Moussaka Souvlaki Pork Platter Gyro Lamb Platter Baklava Galaktoboureko It's BYOB! Our wine was served and chilled! Served the salad with entree- I prefer to enjoy my salad before entree. Lots and lots of take out orders being picked up! And every table was filled with guests! Looking forward to the next visit! Street meter parking until 6pm. Parking lot near by, walking distance.
