   Food, wine, service, everything was exceptional. We did the Valentine's Day fixed menu and can't wait to come back and try the regular menu.

   We heard about a taste of old country on the Manassas page of Facebook. We are so glad we went. The food and service and well everything was excellent. We’ll be back.

   We discovered Taste of Old Country right before we moved out of town and make a point of dining here every time we return to NOVA. It is a hidden gem in a business park in Manassas, VA. The owner greats us each visit, the food is always so fresh and fantastic, and we can’t help ourselves from purchasing a few Greek food items from the shelves. We highly recommend this fine Greek establishment! 5 stars!

   Clearly this is a destination restaurant though you wouldn’t guess from the industrial strip mall location. Several walk-ins had to be turned away because the place was booked which was interesting as it wasn’t at all crowded … yet. It appears that the Chef / Owner (Elias Zarkadoulas) truly wants to devote himself and his staff to very personal service and dining hence they space out what they can do to accommodate high level service to the guests they have — as opposed to cramming the place and hoping for quick table turnover … it’s not that sort of place. Plan to stay, and enjoy … We went for a pre-show dinner and split appetizers, desserts, and wine. Everything was on-mark! Speaking with several other guests, they too raved about the authentic Greek food and service. The paninis and pizzas we saw looked and smelled amazing and alone warrant a return visit. This isn’t the kind of restaurant you’ll seek out unless you know … but now you know … let’s just keep it between us, ok?!

   If you're craving an authentic Mediterranean Artisan experience, The Taste Of Old Country restaurant is a must-visit. The flavors are vibrant, fresh, and impeccably balanced. The lemon hummus is silky smooth. The Greek meatballs are melt-in-your-mouth tender that pairs so well with the best feta and tzatziki dip. The Greek Stuffed Grape Leaves is another standout and is rich and comforting with layers of flavor. You can taste the quality of the ingredients in every bite, and the portions are generous, making it a great value. Everything is prepared to order. The wine selection is fantastic. This family owned business knows service and quality. Elias is friendly and knowledgeable, enhancing the whole dining experience his son Ari makes sure your plates are cleared and drinks remained filled with a gracious smile. Whether you're a longtime fan of Greek cuisine or a newcomer, this quaint place is sure to impress.

    We always leave wondering why we waited so long to come back! The food is excellent, the portions generous for the price and the service friendly and attentive. The lemon hummus and dolmas standout and the presentation for all dishes Instagram worthy. My only hesitation is the noise level…when full it can detract from the enjoyment of the meal. If they added some textiles or sound blocks to counter the many hard surfaces, it would change the experience in a positive way!
