The food at Taziki's Mediterranean Restaurant was really good. It tastes fresh, flavorful, and well seasoned. I got the lamb platter with a side of horseradish sauce. It was excellent.

I was a little worried when we arrived and I realized it was a quick service restaurant. I shouldn’t have worried, the food was fresh and really good! I had the grilled vegetable platter with rice and got the lemon chicken soup to try. Hubby had the gyro. I could tell someone actually made the soup and the vegetables were freshly grilled. The place was neat and clean and the staff was friendly. When in Gainesville we will definitely be returning! The only reason I gave I 4 stars for staff is because someone should have taught the poor girl that brought us our drinks that required a bottle opener how to use said bottle opener. I don’t mind opening my own drink, but someone should probably show her, she had the corkscrew out for beer bottle style tops.
