With Great Pleasure
Taki (Demetrios) Dotis was originally a musician, composer and recording artist with a natural talent for playing the Bouzouki.

After doing recordings in Athens, he played in several movies and Athenian clubs, including the historical HARAMA. Taki played with legendary musicians and composers like Tsitsanis, Papaioanou, Zagoreos and Lafkas. He also accompanied such famous singers as Mitropanos, Florinotis (Euro-Vision, 1975), Rita Sakelario, and Haroula Lambraki. He is historically known as the first Bouzouki musician from Florina. Invited to perform for Greek - American audiences, his music led him to Hollywood, San Francisco, Dallas, Houston, Hawaii, Boston, Toronto, and then to Seattle.

After many years of traveling, he decided to make Seattle his permanent home and married Vickie “Kiki” Panagiotopoulos, a third generation American-Greek. They have two sons, Elias and George. Since opening several restaurants, with the first opening in 1984, including two pasta and pizza houses, he revisited his true cultural cuisine with Taki’s Mad Greek in 2001.

Customer Reviews:
"This place is great. Truly an authentic greek resturant that has amazing food. If you are in search of a great bite of greek I recommend this place. Call ahead though on the weekends as it can be very busy."

"This place was formerly Taki's Pizza, which served Greek Pizza as well as the current menu. The pizza is gone, but the wonderful Souvlaki is still there. The owners staff the place and make you feel right at home with Greek Music by the owner pipes through the speakers. Platters are recommended and the portions are huge for the price. I have never been able to finish one. Everything in this place is handmade, and the deserts are everything from classic baklava to halva. Wines are a good value also. My favorite is the Lamb Souvlaki Platter with tender, marinated delicious lamb souvlaki, delicious fresh Greek salad, huge mound of rice pilaf, tatziki sauce and of course pita bread. Get the desert to go."
