We had the octopus appetizer this time and a large Greek salad with grilled calamari. Such a refreshing, delicious dinner to share. Lots of chargrilled octopus, sliced up to eat and dressed with parsley, capers, lemon and olive oil. Ugh, so good. Drizzle more of that awesome table EVOO for even more yumminess. The large Greek salad is...large. It's well balanced, has mild feta and we got it all topped with grilled calamari (for an added $9). It's a good value as you get plenty of calamari (vs ordering an app of calamari). Dinner ends with complementary Greek cookies - kourabiedes. Bring cash app they charge a credit card fee (my only gripe here). We bright home a gyro platter to go and our server timed the order perfectly so it came out right when we were about to leave.

THE GOOD ----------------…read more+ Excellent Greek pitas and platters. ++++ Chicken Souvlaki Platter - Platter was spaceship MASSSSSIVE and included a salad, 2 slices of lemon potatoes, pita bread and tzatziki sauce. The chicken souvlaki was surprisingly moist and tender and quite delicious. ++++ Lamb Souvlaki Platter - Huge like the Chicken Souvlaki and the lamb meat was very tender and tasty. It was $2 more than the other platters, but definitely worth the extra few bucks. ++++ Gyro Pita - Huge pita with 2 slices of lemon potatoes on a plate. There was plenty of gyro meat inside along with the typical Greek pita ingredients. ++++ Almond Cookies - This was complimentary after our meal. They were OK and had a lot of powdered sugar on it, but free IS free. ++++ All of the pitas and platters were reasonably priced.

THE NOT SO GOOD ---------------------------- - Service was a bit blah at the start. ---- We were the 1st customers on a Saturday late morning. Unlike other customers, we didn't get much of a greeting, so womp womp. The waiters were a bit more cordial as our meal wore on. Someone whom looked like the manager wasn't very friendly at all though. MIXED THOUGHTS --------------------------- = Nada. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = We were the 1st customers shortly after opening at 11:30 AM on a Saturday. Slowly other customers began trickling in, but there was PLENTY of space inside still.

Even though the restaurant was packed for the holiday, they seated us right on time, which immediately set the tone for a great experience. The food was absolutely delicious -- we had drinks, appetizers including the lobster gyro app , eggplant chips and salmon and tuna with avocado sashimi app were all divine! The porkchops for dinner along with sea bass were excellent , and cheesecake and backlava were filling and tasty. Every dish was incredible. Fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The atmosphere was just as impressive: lovely décor, an energetic vibe, a large bar area, plenty of parking, and both indoor and outdoor seating. While the outdoor space looked great, the indoor ambiance really stood out and made the experience feel extra special. Service, food, and atmosphere were all top-notch. I can't wait to return!

I've been dining at your restaurant for approximately eight years, and last Friday evening was the…read morefirst time I've left feeling disappointed -- which is why I felt it was worth sharing. I ordered the Chilean sea bass and was genuinely surprised by the preparation. It's such a prime piece of fish, but the heavy onion and tomato topping completely overpowered it. Unfortunately, the onion was still raw, which made the dish even more difficult to enjoy. It felt like the quality of the fish was lost beneath the garnish. The scallops were similarly confusing. Pairing seared scallops with a version of eggplant parmesan didn't feel cohesive, and the flavors competed rather than complemented one another. As for the appetizers, they fell flat. The hamachi lacked brightness and flavor, and the ground tuna and salmon quenelles did not taste particularly fresh. I do want to emphasize that the service was excellent, as it always has been, and the restaurant remains beautiful, clean, and well maintained. That consistency is part of why I've been a loyal guest for so many years. I'm sharing this because I care about the restaurant and hope this was simply an off night. I look forward to returning and experiencing the level of quality I've come to expect. Tell the chef to really taste the food and not ever send anything that isn't up to par for the reputation that Varka has maintained for many many years

BYOB and also has outdoor seating. Food has a turkish sensibility. We have gone here 3 times and here is our food review. Falafel is cooked to perfection, crispy outside and soft inside.NOT greasy at all. Filling is mixed with delicous herbs giving a green tinge. Oh-so good! Lentil soup is light, gently and perfectly spiced. Not thick, a lovely puree. Cold Turkish Salad. So fresh and refreshing. Served cold. It is a Turkish version of ratatouille of a sort. Vegetables are cooked nicely and still have a little bite to them. The spices are on point. Unique and special dish. Shish Twood (Chicken Kabab) The best we have EVER eaten. Large pieces of chicken that are so wonderfully spiced (but not spicy). So moist and tender. Rice is amazing. Again so flavorful! They sometimes have bulgar which is equally delicous (my favorite). A special item that is rarely found in restaurants. Chicken Shawarma. Similar spices to the Kabob, small pieces of moist and tender chicken. Not dry like is often found at other places. Kufta Kubob. Mix of minced lamb and beef, again perfectly seasoned and grilled. Moist and delicious. Great yogurt sauce on the side. Thick and flavorful. Kufta Kabab Pan with tomato sauce. Same meat mix as the Kabob except in is a large,round patty and is underneath a light tomato sauce. Lamb Chops. So delicous! Tender and moist and perfectly cooked to medium as requested. Generous serving. Another perfectly spiced dinner. Mixed Grill. Kufta kabab, chicken kabab, and steak. The steak was delicous..tender and moist. Generous serving and a nice way to sample everything. Pistaschio & Banana Pudding. Homemade and a "don't miss dessert"! Thick and creamy and oh-so-good! Not too sweet. Really special.

Overall, not bad -- but definitely not their best. I've eaten at different locations before, and…read moreover time I've noticed changes in both packaging and food quality. This time I ordered a rice bowl with shawarma. The shawarma itself looked very odd -- almost like jerky in texture -- though it wasn't hard to chew. I got it with the green and red sauces, hummus, and garlic whip. Flavor-wise it was okay, but the presentation was sloppy by the time it arrived. The bowl looked like a complete mess, and I couldn't even tell what was what. This was an Uber Eats order, and I've ordered through Uber plenty of times without issues, but this one was definitely a miss.

However, the place just seems a little rundown lately to be honest. The refrigerator in the front where the drinks are housed has been broken for like two or three weeks since the last time I was here. I got here and the forks were empty; in the bathroom, the toilet paper isn't in the holder and there's no paper towels; and everything in the main dining area just seems a bit rundown. I would expect a little more from a location in Montvale..

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with "Welcome home" and seated. Bobby was our waiter and he was knowledgeable, polite, and offered my guests choices and recommendations on our orders.

The Filet Mignon Crostini, a special on the menu, was fantastic! Each of our entrees was perfectly prepared and delicious. Desserts were also wonderful. The service at Savini is always exceptional, as it was last evening. This is my favorite restaurant, especially if we have a special occasion to celebrate! Grateful!!!
