The entrance is located in a side alley, down the basement stairs, kind of weird. No wi-fi or phone connection inside the restaurant, so you can't use your phone for anything---which can turn into an intentional exercise in disconnecting. I could not view reviews of dishes, so had to step outside to take a peak. Cannot justify paying such prices for dinning in a tiny, dark space in half-basement in the middle of NJ. Just can't. The portions are generous, which is good. But the prices are still outrageous for the location and vibe. It is BYOB for alcohol. We walked in on Sunday at 6pm without reservations and by 7pm, the small space filled up. The $12 hummus was bad. Store bought hummus of the cheapest brand tastes better. Seriously don't understand how a hummus can taste so bland and meh. No seasoning? The pita that came with it was low quality--it gave my friend an allergic reaction right away [he has sensitivity towards poor quality flour products]. $44 paidakia--lamb chops--had 4 chops that were tender and delicate. Pasnip pure was bland and totally a miss--did nothing to complement anything on the plate. Barely any demi lace sauce--definitely on the dry side. Asked for potatoes to be sutstituted for brocollini, but the kitchen did not follow through with that ask, even though our waitress confirmed it was possible. $39 lamb souvlaki was a solid dish. Filling and hearty. Good quality meat skewer. Smoked eggplant puree had a very strong smoke flavor. Lemony potatoes had bright, refreshing lemomy flavor that we appreciated. Service is attentive and quick. Complementary toothbrushes in the bathroom were a nice touch--a star for this little amenity. read more

What a beautiful restaurant! Feels like you are walking into Grecian paradise! Love the decor from the entrance to the restaurant! Staff was attentive, friendly and our Server offered recommendations! So impressed with my husband's entree, the grilled Lavraki was braided! Never thought fish could be braided. Loved my Moussaka and beet salad! Dessert was a warm heavenly sweet treat! Highly recommend! Made reservations. BYOB Wine Cellar of Morristown Was walking distance from Azure.

Really friendly service and the colors/scheme did make me feel like I was in Greece again. My husband and I went during lunch and ordered from the lunch special menu (main + cold app $25). We tried the tzatziki and Smokey eggplant for our apps which were served with pita. The pita wasn't as soft/fresh as some other places, but it was fine. The tzatziki and eggplant could have benefited from a little more seasoning like salt. There were only 2 vegetarian options for our main course so we went with the falafel platter and shakshouka, both which were pretty good. The shakshouka definitely had more flavor than the falafel dish where the rice was very bland. read more

The atmosphere is intimate, the service is warm and friendly and the food is superb. Will definitely visit again and again!

We were 30 minutes late for our reservation (traffic!) and had 30 minutes to eat before leaving for a nearby show. They were very kind and understanding, suggesting dishes that would be ready in 10 minutes. The sea bass, and the scallops were at our table in less than 10 minutes, delicious, perfectly cooked, plated, and presented. They were so understanding. We will return when we have time for apps and desserts, too. Thank you for a wonderful experience! read more

Azure Greek is one of the best restaurants we have been to, in a very long time. The ambiance, the service, the food, are all top notch. It is BYOB, so do remember to bring your alcoholic beverage of choice. They will open and serve and provide soft drinks as needed. We first stopped in for a ladies lunch on a Sunday. It was five of us ladies celebrating two birthdays. Ordered shared appetizers; the calamari, hand cut fries, and the Melitzano. Everything was so delicious. Then we ordered our entrees; Chicken Souvlaki, Grilled Lavraki, and a couple of others I can't recall, and those were also amazing. We loved it so much that three of us decided to do a triple date night on Friday that same week and go back with our husbands. This time we also brought some alcoholic bevies. The experience on Friday night was just as great. The serve staff are so nice. The food is so so good. We tried the Azure Beet salad as part of apps and couple of husbands had the lamb shank. The Beet salad is A-mazing! The decor reminds us of Mykonos and Santorini. I wholeheartedly recommend this place! If I didn't live 40 minutes away, I would be here at least once a week for the beet salad alone. Sadly never took a picture of the salad. read more

Azure the Greek makes our top 10 places of all time for my wife and I. Every aspect checks the 5 star box -- ambiance, service, food and overall experience. WOW, what a most memorable dinner experience, especially when it was a spontaneous find for my birthday night out and we are not from the area. George, our host, server, and director of first impressions was 100% awesome. We started with the Azure beet salad, so fresh, refreshing this super hot night, and colorful. We then shared the pastitsio, and I'm not a pasta person unless it's a special dish, and this was a special dish. We divided it into 3rds bringing home 1/3rd leaving room for our main dish. We went back and forth with the lamb dishes and landed upon the beef cheeks and boy that was an excellent choice. We were told it cooks for 6 hours, that is preparation, that is dedication to a great dish. hence we had to have it and it was DELICIOUS, per the menu-- beef cheeks- served 6 Hours Slow Cooked With Red Wine, Served With Parsnip Puree, Broccoli Rabe. We ran out of room so no dessert and on my b-day too HAHA BYOB, street parking, takes credit cards read more

We had a great dinner here before the show at Mayo. Their complimentary pita was soft and warm and served with hummus full of olive flavor. We had to stop ourselves from filling up before entrees. The octopus appetizer came with really fine mash potatoes and capers. For entrees, we've got Paidakia (grilled lamb chop) and grilled Lavraki (sea bass). I was pleasantly surprised by the braided fish, wow! We loved everything here! No wonder their reviews are so good! If we weren't so full, we would have ordered desserts; they looked so good on the table next to us. The decor was beautiful with mostly white and accent with the Greek blue. The wait staff was friendly. When we left the hostess wasn't up front, then she ran out to thank us, how sweet! What an excellent dinner experience! read more

Came here for early dinner on one of the warmer days in March. Came here with friends to celebrate a belated birthday. Food was superb. Octopus, Kolokithokeftedes, Moussaka all done to the point of eating the fork. Everything was done in the atmosphere of Santorini even if it is a little further from the sea then the island. Service was top notch but don't forget the bottle as nothing here goes well if you don't bring an Assyrtiko or something similar to drink. Without it the experience won't be complete! read more

Azure was A+! Prices are high, but once you arrive you'll see that this is a fine dining experience. Service is super attentive, portions are large and the food is quality. Vibes are cozy and intimate. On a Wednesday at 5 it was pretty empty, but I wouldn't be surprised if every table is filled on a Saturday evening. On to the eats! We were treated to a few complimentary apps to start the meal which was such a nice touch - crackers with mango greek yogurt and chia seeds, a basket of hot fresh pita, olives, tzakti sauce and the star of the show - an edible butter candle with notes of orange and cinnamon. For apps we tried octopus which came with two very large pieces of perfectly charred octopus. The octopus sat atop fava bean and red pepper dips - both delicious. We also had the flaming saganaki cheese and it was soo good because when is flaming cheese not, ammirte? For my main I had the beef which came with a large kabob of perfectly cooked medium rare meat. This was served with a side of mashed eggplant, steamed veggies and zucchini chips. There is also a kids menu which was nice to see! Prices are a little wild at $16, but my daughter enjoyed her chicken tenders. BYOB, so don't forget to bring your favorite bottle. And if you have a stroller with you just be mindful that there are a few steps getting down into the restaurant. The owner was kind enough to help us carry it down. There aren't many (if any at all) Greek restaurants in the area, so Azure is surely a welcome addition to Mo'Town. I'll be back! rrive read more

I have now been here 4-5 times and I cannot say enough good things about this hidden gem. The service is OUTSTANDING and every bite of food is delicious. Every single staff member will treat you with such care, as if you're eating in their home. The portion sizes are generous and the food is so fresh and flavorful. The ambiance is good, not amazing. Perhaps the only downside if there HAD to be one. But it doesn't detract in any way from the dining experience. There are so many small details the owners have incorporated that make the experience exceptional and a standout in the area. Don't miss this little gem!!! read more

Very delicious Greek restaurant in Morristown! For appetizers we had the tiziki and octopus. Both were very delicious. For our entrees we had the chicken and beef souvlaki. I personally enjoyed the chicken more and it paired well with the leftover tiziki. FYI this place is BYOB. I'd also encourage making a reservation. read more

My extended family and I went here for lunch one day last week while we were in town for a wedding. It was an elegant lunch with great food. It was a very bright restaurant with all white walls and Greek decorations. I ordered the Beet Salad which was delicious. Others ordered the Falafel dish which looked amazing. Another ordered a burger. All were excellent. In addition when some of my family members ordered Cokes & Diet Cokes, they came out in the glass bottles. That was a big hit for some family members because they feel the soda tastes better from a glass bottle. read more

Azure The Greek - Beet Salad - Greek Near Me - Morristown, New Jersey

A taste of Greece is a very underrated statement for how genuinely great of an experience this was. Food: we started the meal off with some saganaki which was done with great presentation, covered in a flaming liquor. The pita and edible candle which was complimentary was delicious as well as some sort of white bean/olive oil hummus thing which was hearty. I got the grilled salmon which was perfectly cooked, albeit a little dry. My wife got the chicken souvlaki which was tender and had a great eggplant cream. For dessert we did a pistachio kataifi which was to die for with fresh fruit. Just based on food alone, it was one of the best places I have been. Aesthetic: beautiful setting predominately set up in blue and white, ample seating and it didn't feel crowded at all despite being fairly busy. Service: this is what separated it all. Aksana (I apologize I don't know how to pronounce her name) was our hostess and was super sweet, helping me out with the flowers I brought and everything. A good restaurant starts with the hostess/host and she was outstanding. Ismael was our server as very detail oriented. It truly was an outstanding experience. read more

Had a wonderful birthday dinner at Azure The Greek yesterday evening. My husband and I are already looking forward to going back. Service was excellent - attentive, friendly and helpful without being overbearing. It is BYO which we didn't realize, but there is a wine store right next door, so my husband left and returned before our appetizers were served. To start, we had the cold app trio of humus, eggplant and feta/roasted pepper. The pita was served hot and delicious. We also shared the octopus which comes over potato - this was the highlight of my meal. A definite must. Tender and perfectly seasoned. My favorite octopus preparation since we had it in Greece. I knew I would fill up on pita, so I opted for the shrimp Santorini (a warm appetizer) as my entree. I'm so glad I did. Light and delicious. They brought extra pita for me to enjoy it with. My husband had the squid ink pasta and cleaned his plate. For dessert, my husband had the baklava cheesecake (I thought this was just ok, though he loved it) and I had the bougatsa (wow!). One of my favorite ever desserts. Our waiter remarked this is his favorite dessert as well. There were many other menu items we hoped to try, and we look forward to returning again to explore the rest of the menu. read more

In Morristown this Greek restaurant is in the heart of town- some parking is available on the street. However, we were not able to find any on that day -so we parked in a nearby garage. We went with a group of friends and ordered an array of foods for apps, salads and desserts. It's a BYOB restaurant so we also brought some wine as well. The service was fine, and food ok. read more

Incredible byo restaurant in Morristown just off the Main drag. Close enough to walk everywhere. Most fantastic meal and very impressed overall with all facets of the experience. Ambiance was great. (Once you get past the lack luster front door...had one of those moments like oh no where are we eating?!) Team type of service which was great. Always had water refilled and plates taken away. Food 10/10. Started with spanakopita, hummus, horiatiki. All stand out and incredibly fresh. Dinner was amazing as well. Lavraki, chicken shish and lamb shank were delish!! No room for dessert but saw on near tables and now sad we didn't attempt! Amazing food and great location with wonderful servers. Will absolutely be back! read more

This is a lovely place. Gently and tastefully furnished, with enough quiet to converse, but enough warmth to create a buzz. The service could not be more personal and professional. The beet salad is one of the most delicious I have had, fresh and fully flavored with spices and complementary components-arugula to balance sweet beets, suffused with subtle spices, tart yogurt and grape tomatoes. Beautiful and perfect. An on-the-house eggplant appetizer was smoky, chunky, and full of flavor, served with pita and a crisp flatbread. The skewered chicken was moist and flavored with oregano and the grill's gentle char. The accompanying veggies were firm and just cooked through, again, perfectly. This is a lovely restaurant run by a front-end that knows what they are doing, and a chef that layers flavors and executes his dishes with special care. The portions are for sharing and I cannot wait to return and share them with friends and family. read more

Azure The Greek - Beef salad - Greek Near Me - Morristown, New Jersey

Last night myself and several friends enjoyed Azure the Greek in Morristown, the service was outstanding. We thought the Humus was outstanding, as was the Azure Beet salad (huge portion, more than enough for 3 maybe 4), but the Spanakopita left something to be desired (a huge disappointment for a Greek speciality restaurant) . I thoroughly enjoyed the Paidakai (lamb chops), their flavor and doneness was perfect! My guests also were very happy with the Beef Cheeks, Grilled Salmon and Octopus main courses. The cheesecake portion was monstrous and its taste incredible. Overall, we enjoyed the food and the ambiance even though the prices were high. read more

I was not as impressed as most reviews of this restaurant. It was overall just ok. Ambiance was nice. Service was good/average. Food again was just okay. We thought the butter candle idea was cool but it tasted weird and the little cracker with a yogurt type sauce on it wasn't very good. We weren't sure if it was tzatziki so we didn't order that just in case it was the same. We got Halloumi for an app. It was good but again nothing I'm seeking to return for. I got the chicken souvlaki and my friend got the beef. Both meats were very good. The eggplant purée on the side was very Smokey and we both didn't like it. Zucchini chips on the plate weren't crisp. The potato was ok kind of dry. Overall I'd say this place is average. I also felt it wasn't a true Greek experience or menu that I'm used to. read more

Had dinner here on a Friday night. The ambiance and decor is nice, and the service was fine, but the food was a disappointment. Started with the saganaki, fried sheep's milk cheese. It's supposed to be pan fried or broiled and hot, but it wasn't, just a chunk of bland cheese served on a cold cast iron platter. The server flamed it at the table with ouzo, but that only lasted a few seconds and didn't warm it up. I also had a classic entrée, moussaka. They served it with two salt and pepper shakers on the side, which I thought was odd, until I tried it. It was tasteless, overcooked and mushy, no seasoning whatsoever. I sprinkled it copiously with the salt and pepper, but it was hopeless. I did not enjoy it. I was not satisfied, so I ordered dessert, one of my favorites, Greek orange cake. It's semolina cake soaked with orange syrup. There was no orange flavor, and it wasn't even sweet. Honestly, it was gross. It tasted like rotten eggs, and I don't like saying that. It's not cheap to eat here, either. One app, two entrées, one dessert, and two coffees was $125, plus tip. I would never come back here, and do not recommend. read more

This is actually probably one of the best dining experiences I've had in the burbs of NJ ever. The food is delicious, the service was phenomenal (every single person from the hostess to the bus boys were so friendly - very family run feel), the decor makes you feel like you're in Santorini, and it's byob (and there's a very cute wine store down the street where you can pick up unique options). We had a party of 6 and we shared a few apps (and they present with you a cute little welcome dish of crackers with Greek yogurt, an edible butter candle, olives, and some pita bread). The apps were all good (fried cheese, calamari, and hummus). I shared the branzino and scallops with a friend. Both were cooked to perfection and well seasoned. Everyone enjoyed their food (friends got the beef cheeks, chicken kabobs, lamb chops, and one more I can't remember). They also had this VERY spicy hot sauce to add a kick if you're up for that just ask. I can't forget to mention that they make sure your water cup stays full (can't say how much I appreciate that little gesture in restaurants). They also bring out an ice bucket for your white wine. Every little touch was much appreciated. If you're craving a fresh Mediterranean/greek style dinner don't think twice. Try it!! read more

The atmosphere reminds me of being in Greece. Blue and white all over. My husband and I had a date night last week. I'm glad I made reservations. The food was good but I think a bit too expensive. We ordered the melatzano, like a ratatouille but finely chopped with warm pita and the lamb meatballs. My husband had the sea bass and I had the beef cheeks. Very good and rich but needed a dash of lemon juice or vinegar to cut the richness. Service was great and the fellow diners were very friendly. Except for the price I would return. read more

Azure is well worth the trip. The moment we walked in we felt like we were on the Aegean coast, with the whitewashed walls and elegant understated decor. The service was swift and welcoming, with friendliness and warmth. We felt truly welcomed into their home. Now the food...in a word, it was spectacular. Everything is so fresh and bursting with flavor. This is not a typical Greek restaurant. They gently interpret the dishes with an American flair but still maintain the Greek character. The rice with spinach, artichoke and seasonings is an experience in itself. The portions are good for sharing (which you will probably want to do), or fine to have alone. What a refreshing culinary experience. Go here! read more

The restaurant has a really nice atmosphere. It is pretty and clean. I was here for lunch and the food took nearly an hour when no one else was at the restaurant. The waitress was nice. I ordered shakshuka and it came with really nice vegetables. The downside was how much oil was in the dish, it was a little unappetizing for it to be SWIMMING in oil. Maybe I was there at a bad time I didn't love it :( read more

Confused as to why there isn't more hype about this place? The staff is so kind- even brought us complimentary hummus as an appetizer and brought us cool towels at the end. The ambiance is cute and greek like. The portions are so large- I think this is the first time I have ever had leftovers. Every item we ordered (2 entrees and 3 appetizers) was delicious- full of all the flavor! Even the butter is flavorful! Highly recommend read more

This is a very cute and intimate restaurant tucked away right off the Main Street of Morristown. Was able to get a reservation here last minute after some plans fell apart - the staff were super friendly on the call. They welcomed us in and made us feel at home. The vibe in the restaurant is cozy and private. Not a whole lot of tables, but there were plenty of people lining up to get a table. The service here was perfect - top notch. However, the food... I was a bit disappointed. For starters, we ordered the anchovies and... I never thought in my life that I would complain about this but... we got too much food... too much anchovies. Of course we felt bad and didn't want to leave them, so we ate each one. The anchovies were all lumped together too... like stuck together as if they were dumped out of a can lol, maybe not idk? The presentation could be a bit better. The anchovies themselves were pretty decent. The eggplant dish was delicious, no complaints there. For the main course, I got the grilled Bronzino and my friend got the grilled snapper. I love Bronzino and it's usually my go to dish at any Mediterranean restaurant. So, I really like how nice this place is, but the fish just wasn't cutting it out for me. First of all, it was very bland.. lacked salt and flavor. The texture itself was also kinda meaty, hard to explain, but it felt different. Also, the skin was all mushy. This is just my recommendation - but it might be better to pan sear the fish rather than grill it. It might help create a crispy skin and trap the juices in the fish, more flavor will need to be added as well. read more

This is a great experience from start to finish. The owner greeted us when we walked in and showed us to our table. After we ordered, we were surprised that we received a huge complimentary appetizer that had a mix of warm pita (it looked like white and whole wheat slices) and then two larger slices that looked like baked pita, as well as Kalamata olives, hummus, and a butter candle, which was a unique touch. For our entrees, we chose the beef souvlaki and the chef's special, which was chicken with vegetables and a tomato and yogurt sauce. Everything was delicious. My fiancé hardly ever eats chicken, but I asked him if he wanted to try a little of mine, and he kept coming back for more! (But that was okay, because his dish came with an eggplant creme that I LOVED and kept stealing in return!) The onlyyy thing I could say about this place is that the price of the beef souvlaki ($35) did seem steep for just one skewer of meat, but I did think that the chunks were larger than you would typically see at other places. The owner stopped by twice during the meal to make sure we were enjoying everything and was chatting with each table. My fiancé remarked that this place feels like an NYC restaurant because it's below the sidewalk, it's intimate and dimly lit inside, and the food is excellent, and I would agree -- the NYC vibes are definitely there. I'm looking forward to coming back for many years to come! read more

Azure in Morristown has taken a serious nosedive. It used to be a decent spot, but since the ownership and chef change, it's just sad. Avoid it. Seriously, anywhere else is better. Some lowlights include: Hummus now bland Calamari is soggy Octopus rubbery Lavraki dry The service is equally dismal. Disinterested staff, slow service, and a general air of apathy permeate the place. It's clear the new management doesn't care. Azure has become a prime example of how a restaurant can ruin a good thing. Skip it. Your tastebuds and your wallet will thank you. read more

Azure, which is located adjacent to the Mayo Performing Arts Center center in Morristown, offers tasty Mediterranean Greek food, served by friendly and knowledgeable staff, in a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. My dining companion and I opted to share a number of small plates including the Pikilia, a selection of three cold appetizers such as hummus, smoky eggplant melitzanosalata, and fava; the Horiatiki salad featuring tomatoes, cucumber, sweet pepper, kalamata olives, sweet onion, capers, feta cheese, and lemon-olive oil dressing; and the innovative Seafood Korkoretsi, an amazing combination of salmon, sea bass, octopus, and shrimp served in a glass jar that's smoked over peachtree wood. YUM! The authenticity of the recipes, freshness of the ingredients, and motivation of the waitstaff was obvious. The serving sizes were very generous for two hungry adults. We will definitely be back! Pro Tip: Azure is a BYOB establishment, so bring a bottle of your favorite wine from home or stop by Amani Vino or Cambridge Wines in town on your way. read more

What a wonderful experience here! They really transformed the restaurant so it looks different from Madame Thai. Definitely has the Greek feel. We made reservations for a Friday night and it was packed! Every table was taken. It is BYOB, too. We ordered two dips for appetizers: tzatziki and eggplant. Both were wonderful. For entrees we ordered the chicken souvlaki and beef souvlaki and we cleared the plate of both! Definitely want to go back and try other entrees. What's really making this place stand out is the people and the service. The people working there were so friendly and attentive! read more
