What sunny n likes about The Village Taverna:
Hidden gem for gluten free people. Everything we tried was delicious: kebab lamb and falafel, Greek salad, hummus, lemon potatoes, rice Gluten free dishes are marked white in the photos below. Friendly service and not crowded space View all feedback. What MsPuck doesn't like about The Village Taverna:
It was Mothers Day and our anniversary, so we decided to order Greek food to celebrate. The wrong order was delivered. A call was placed to the restaurant to sort this out. The lady who took the call was abrupt and not helpful; she blamed the delivery driver and offered no resolution. Needless to say, we did not enjoy the experience and are deeply disappointed.
