Greek Taverna Artemis

Fantastic, authentic and welcoming. Can’t recommend this restaurant highly enough. Thank you for such a great evening. We will be back soon!

Lovely little place in Maidstone with high quality food and brilliant service.

I went on a Friday night and it was really busy so definitely recommend booking. A large group was upstairs and I was downstairs. There is great decor and feeling to this place.

The lady serving us was very attentive, always checking back on us to ensure we were ok and when we were ready to order. Once we had finished there was no rush for the bill even though they were busy.

The food was lovely. Menu has a lot of choice but I chose chicken gyro and pork from their specials menu. Lots of flavour to both meats along with a little bit of pitta and nicely spiced chips.

I would go back here and would love to try more of the menu.

This place was phenomenal. Excellent service, wonderful food, just great. Our hostess was just the best - even taught me a few words in Greek. σας ευχαριστώ. Thank you!

It looks deceptively simple from the outside, like a hole in the wall. The board outside supported this by offering lunch from 8.95£. Once inside we realised because it’s weekend that offer was not applicable. Should have seen that coming. The regular menu was more in the 15-20£ per dish range.

The food was really good though. It tasted fresh and was obviously coming straight off the stove. We took a chicken souvlaki. The grilled chicken was tender and well seasoned. And two sauces on the side - tzadziki and a delicious spicy red one dont recognise. There were some greens on the side topped with a lovely salad sauce.

A vegetarian platter, pretty simple, with an unnecessary giant grilled tomato and grilled pepper andA not very interesting rice. But the hummus, the tzatziki were among the best I ever tasted. Awesome spanakopita as well. Surprisingly no salad with it, and just one olive. But I would order it again.

We ordered pita on the side, since it didn’t come with any of the dishes. For some reason it was fried. Meh. I would not order it again.

We also ordered fries on the side. Totally recommend. Fresh, hot and seasoned with some spice blend.

Last of all there was a lamb kleftiko, which to our surprise was lamb and potatoes in a soupy stew without any rice or bread to soak up stuff. It might have been good but it was not to our palate. The lamb was tender but tasted too smelly, maybe unseasoned is a better word.

So will I go back? For sure. I still need to try that lunch offer. I feel like the wrap and fries will be amazing.

This is a great little restaurant the food is exceptional and very authentic. And they give you very healthy portions, you will leave stuffed 😁
Also the staff are very friendly and welcoming. I have now visited a number of times and will keep going back. We love this restaurant.
I can Highly recommended this place 👍

Fantastic food at reasonable prices. You are guaranteed to be full after a starter and main! Really nice atmosphere with welcoming staff and friendly service. Nothing is too much trouble for them. Also great for parties. Seating both on the ground floor and upstairs.

We have been here a few times and have always had an all round great experience however we came for an anniversary meal on Friday and it wasn’t the same. Both of our meats were really tough (steak & lamb shank) the steak should have come with chips but came with Greek potatoes. I had asked for Greek potatoes instead of mashed potatoes with my lamb so I’m not sure if that sparked confusion.

Really is a shame.

On a more positive note, the Greek potatoes were delicious and the staff are great.

Lovely, homely food. Cozy little restaurant, but was reasonably busy on a Tuesday evening. We had the courgette balls (I’m guessing these were Kolokithokeftedes) which were delicious. I had the baked sea bass, whilst my husband had chicken souvlaki. Very very generous portion sizes and reasonably priced. Food was cooked nicely and it wasn’t oily (I hate oily food) which was a big plus for me. Waitresses were friendly and attentive. Food came out pretty quick and I must say, Greek Taverna Artemis will be on my radar when I next feel for some Greek cuisine.
