This is my newly found favorite place. Oh my goodness!!!! It was so delicious it almost brought me to tears. The flavors were so incredible. I had the chicken mezze bowl, the Israeli salad, Muhammad’s, and the most amazing Baba Ganoush I have ever had. I also ordered a cocktail, Savana it was soooo good. I am so glad I found this place. Kayla was our server and was equally amazing. You have to try it all!!!! Bring a friend and split everything!

Imagine two beautiful young ladies from The Bahamas visiting this gem of a place and enjoying the service and food. We both were so obsessed with the chicken and hummus definitely will make sure we have our own next time and everything else was delicious.

Tonight was my second time coming to Tavi. The first time was back in August, the food was delicious. I got the shrimp dumplings and the salmon. The service was very slow, but I didn’t bother saying anything because they were quite busy. After waiting an unnecessary amount of time for our waitress to take our entree orders, she made an unusual comment saying “I was expecting you to just order appetizers.” We only ordered a plate of hummus and shrimp dumplings, which made me think that she might have said that because we were younger. I found it very unprofessional, especially considering the fact that it was an “upscale” restaurant, and our total came out to $150… I let it go because of how amazing the food was.
Tonight I came with my friends, after recommending it because of how great my food was previously. The service was extremely slow, our waitress Kayla (who I’m almost positive was my waitress the last time) had zero personality and didn’t pay us much attention. We received two pieces of pita for a table of four, and waited 15 minutes for more. I ordered the same thing I did the last time. It lacked flavor, was lukewarm, and did not come with sauce like it did the last time. I asked Kayla if they had changed the salmon, and she told me no. I explained to her that the last time I came the entire dish was in a sauce (which I have a picture of), and that this one lacked the same flavor. All she said was “I’m sorry about that,” and walked away. I wasn’t expecting a refund, but I was expecting for at least some more courtesy considering I am a returning customer and was dissatisfied with my food. I’ve never had service this bad at any restaurant, especially one with a pricey menu. Good service is a necessity when it comes to a restaurant like this, and Kayla did not display that in any way.

Such a nice establishment tucked away in downtown Covington. My wife and I stopped in for lunch, and between the appetizer and a couple of shareable, we were stuffed and happy. We had the wild mushroom hummus, the falafel plate and the BBQ shrimp. All were delicious. I told my wife I need that Falafel plate on the regular. The staff was super friendly and so kind. From the front door to the kitchen, great people.

First off, the staff at Tavi were excellent. Our server guided us through the menu, making excellent suggestions. The Fried Chicken Hummus was outstanding, as was every dish we ordered. Israeli Salad, Sujuk Cheese roll, Lamb Kofta Kebab, Roasted Brussels Sprouts. Fresh made Pita with Smoked Labneh and Fava Beans. Chef Patrick and his staff executed well. If you’re in Covington, do not miss the opportunity to dine with the incredible people of Tavi, you will not be disappointed.

Had a wonderful experience at our two trips to Tavi. We were happily served by Miss Tessa, who I think is the best and most knowledgeable server we have ever had. Honestly the best service. The food was delicious and due to Tessa’s help I was able to jump out of my comfort zone and try amazing food. Will definitely be coming back.

Tavi is definitely a unique culinary experience. The menu itself is eclectic: it is difficult to tell the ethnic origin of any particular dish other than it is middle-eastern. The spices and garnishments were uncommon, but not so uncommon to be too exotic for a normal palette. All of the dishes came out quick and were well prepared. Our server recommended the fried chicken hummus as it was their best selling dish. Without a doubt, it was a good recommendation. The only negative comment that I have, and this is a negative comment about most restaurants today, is that iced tea was off. It wasn’t a flavored ice tea. It just wasn’t the traditional southern iced tea. On the other hand, the Moroccan hot mint tea was a worthy replacement.
I couldn’t help but notice that this place only had a 4.3 rating on Google. After taking the time to read the negative reviews, one can only conclude that the reviews say more about the person leaving the review than the restaurant. The one-star reviews were about minor and petty issues thus suggesting overly demanding and entitled reviewers. No one should want customers like that.
