Jake and Telly’s Greek Taverna - Greek restaurant in Colorado Springs - 2616 Colorado Ave #24, USA

The owner was an amazing host, our waiter was knowledgeable. He helped us pair the perfect bottle of wine with our meals. Our food was absolutely amazing. It was cooked perfectly and had the best flavor. We will definitely be going back

Enjoyed the covered outside seating area for lunch on a beautiful overcast day while visiting the area for vacation. An Old Colorado City restaurant located in an upstairs location. Take the stairs on the right side of the building when looking from the street where you see the blue awning. It did take us a minute to locate the entrance. Wonderful views of the quaint street with the mountains as the backdrop. Needing gluten free being celiac, they had several options clearly marked on the menu; however, I believe the menus needed updating as the sides were not marked so those were a little confusing. The online menu on the website is more detailed. My husband and I shared the beet spinach salad and the chicken and capers, which were both delicious! The salad was very fresh and the chicken was fork tender, moist and very flavorful. We would definitely recommend giving this place a try!

Absolutely LOVED this restaurant. The lamb was tender and well seasoned, the portions were excellent. Amazing views. Definitely would return if I make it back to Colorado Springs. Parking was a bit tricky and they were only seating reservations from 5-7:30 the night we were there.

Delicious food. Nice patio. Friendly service. We got the red and white sangria, the meze plate, a spanakopita, and the salad and soup plate and had to take a bunch home. Not a single thing that wasn't good. Complimentary shot of ouzo after dinner. Interior has photos, historical family bits, and paintings of ancient greece.

Authentic Greek food. The souvlaki, garlic green beans and rice were an explosion of flavors. The hummus and pita is top notch. It was very busy when we went so we opted to sit and eat at the bar.

A fabulous experience. A large offer of food, including some gluten-free options. Large plates of very tasty food. Homemade chocolate tart was delicious. Great service with very kind waiter. We stopped there after a hike and this was a great idea!

We visited this restaurant a week ago and had a pretty good overall experience. Outside: First, as with everything in this area, parking can be a challenge and I can't really fault anyone for that. We did have a little bit of a difficult time actually finding the restaurant because the signage is pretty lacking (there's almost none on the side where you have to walk up a set of stairs to get to the restaurant)...a person asked if we were looking for Jake and Telly's and told us how to get there. Inside: The restaurant has very ample seating and we were fortunate enough to have a nice enough day to sit on the outside deck (covered tables) and enjoy the weather. The outside area is relatively clean, but could definitely use some paint touch-ups and more thorough cleaning. Service and Food: We found the service to be nothing special, but also not particularly lacking or rude, either. They didn't get my drink right the first time, but did later. The food came out in a reasonable time and was pretty good - we enjoyed the Gyro Sandwiches more than the Greek Dip. Value: Price-wise, I would consider most of the plates to be quite expensive, but they did have some options that were more reasonably priced, too. The portion sizes are a little small...we ordered 3 regular meals (for 2 adults and a 2 year old) and had just enough food to not be too hungry when we finished. In the end, I would say that it was a good enough experience, all around, but I'm not certain that we'll go back again. If you love Greek food, I would urge you to give it a try, but if you're just looking to try it out, you could probably get similar food for a better price at another Greek restaurant in town.

The entrance looked nice, they have some cool paintings. When we showed up the hostess pretty much ignored us even though the place only had a couple of busy tables. We finally were seated in a corner and the waitress never came back so we had to leave. This place is very pricey and it seems pretty old and dark. I don't think I will try to go back.
