Takis Greek-Italian Restaurant

Been going to Takis before it was in Lady Lake before they add the new building over in Leesburg when it was in the same plaza as an old and gone pirate seafood restaurant in Leesburg. This is the 3rd time in a row I ordered a large Stromboli without a golden crust and smaller then they ever been. My appetizer weighed more and cost less than the large Stromboli. Will not be ordering here again. Good Luke to future guests

I recently visited Takis with the hope of enjoying some delicious Greek cuisine, but I didn’t get my wish. The Greek food was meh. The Greek salad I ordered was a letdown. It was made with iceberg lettuce, ham slices, one sliced tomato and shredded feta. It didn’t have cucumber, red onion, bell peppers or large feta pieces. Also, the hummus was just okay, with grocery store hummus actually tasting better. And to top it off, we were only given one pita for the hummus appetizer, and no vegetables were offered. The entrees didn't fare much better, as the chicken souvlaki was dry and lacking in flavor. The Greek potatoes were also disappointing, as they didn't have any lemon in them. To make matters worse, the wine glass served was tiny, almost like half a glass. Also, the service was slow. The food took a whopping 45 minutes to arrive at our table. We ordered 2 hummus and one arrived 15 minutes before the other. Food was slightly over-priced. Overall, I didn’t give it one star because the server was friendly and they do take reservations. However, the food and service left a lot to be desired. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for authentic Greek cuisine.

Don't get me wrong. This place has prepared some great Greek dishes, but my ongoing issue/dislike, but eat it or leave it mentality, is the gyro meat; nasty. This can't be the original shave it off the rotisserie style; a good restaurant would do better to serve hand carved (off the rotisserie) original meat not frozen and grilled. Can't do it anymore. If you're Greek restaurant, serve authentic quality gyro off the rotisserie.
