    Greek Salad and Pan Seared Tuna
    Irina D.

    3.5 STARS. Spent an impossibly long Saturday driving around NJ in hopes of finding a good auto deal by EOY (impossible but that in itself may call for other reviews). Aside from that, we wanted to grab some dinner before heading back into the city. These old stomping grounds of NJ made me feel slightly nostalgic and having been to the IGTM location in Fort Lee, we decided to stop at this location off Route 3. The service was just OK, one friendly waiter took our order and brought our food but another checked up on us and brought us the check hurriedly. I had the Greek Salad with chicken - the size of it was massive and while delicious, it was drenched in oil. The chicken was tasty, and well done, as I had asked. I'll say that the pita with the tzatziki was V yummy, but my husband's $32 tuna dish was just overpriced. The bill came close to $90 dollars, for one salad, one main course, one app, one desert and a cappuccino. I'm torn if the quality overall justified the price. Overall the ambience of the place was also just OK, but I didn't expect too much, as it's a super casual establishment. My stomach did hurt later on in the night but it might have just been me - and eating a larger meal before my IF eating window closed. Unsure I would give it another shot next time I find myself in Clifton.

    Great little restaurant with very attentive staff that compliments the delicious Mediterranean food. A must try.

    Its Greek To Me was a really good experience for my date and myself. As soon as we walked in we were greeted with the smell of authentic Greek food. My mouth was watering. We were quickly sat and the service was quick and efficient. We ordered a couple appetizers and a couple entrees and were more than satisfied by both. The spanakopita was light, flakey, and delicious. We also had the saganaki and that was amazing as well, though hard to cut into bite size portions. Moving on to the entrees, I got the lamb souvlaki platter. The lamb was tender and well seasoned but a bit overcooked for my medium request, the greek fries were delicious. My date had the gyro platter with a salad as a sub for the fries. The gyro meat was piled high, tender, and soo good. The food was great quality and large portion sizes. The tzatziki was also some of the best I've ever had!! I will definitely be back.

    Go to the restaurant to eat, do not get the food delivered! I gave this place 5 stars because it is unfair to give it 4 stars because I got the food delivered. The pita was soggy and so were the fries. I got the lamb platter... omg the lamb is flavorful and cooked perfectly. The hummus and extra pita were perfect. I put the fries in my air frier and it tasted fresh. I highly recommend eating here!

    well, it was perfect dinner date here.. not much crowded ( of course due to Covid), it was outdoor dining, and first come, first serve. We had already decided what we wanna have. Grilled Lamb Chops ( With Greek Fries and Grilled Vegetables) - i had ordered well done and they did the job. Juicy, well done lamb chops - it was amazing. Fries were great too. my wife opted LAMB KOKKINISTO (slow cooked Lamb with tomato sauce and cinnamon) - well, she always wanted to try greek slow cooked lamb hearing rave reviews about it. The lamb was tender but taste wise we were disappointed here. It was more of a tomato flavor, no hint of cinnamon. but nevertheless, good dining. and its located in Clifton plaza, which is itself a beautiful area. evening breeze, outdoor dining (I always prefer outdoor) and beautiful location. It's a bit pricey but worth it.

    Such a lovely place. The decor is beautiful. You have the option of outside dining as well. Plenty of parking. The service and food is amazing.

    It's been a while since I been to this restaurant and was looking forward to getting some good Greek food. When I arrived we decided to order take out and a young lady took our order. I ordered the shrimp and orzo lunch special and my manager ordered a gyro salad. It came to anout $30. We sat outside and talked while we were waiting for the food. It took about 15 minutes and the waitress forgot to separate the bags. She seemed rushed but she was cool. When I dug in after we left it was just as I remembered, tasty. I will be back.

    Mixed grill. Pork and lamb kabobs.  Greek salad. Yumm

    Great experience. Prices great for the quality of food. Quiet at 5pm but by 6pm, it was pretty busy. I had the souvlaki platter. Mixed Pork and Lamb. Everything was so juicy!!!

    No matter where one is, Christmas Eve, Noche Buena, Veille de Noël, Vigilia di Natale, and Paramoní…read moreChristoúgennon are more than tradition and family--they're all about food celebrated in a special way that often varies by country. Whether it's a roast turkey with endless sides, spicy meat stew, a seafood extravaganza, or even no-frills Kentucky Fried Chicken, there's no holding back when the season for feasting rolls around. Located on busy Broadway in Elmwood Park, we decided on our Christmas Eve dinner at this family-owned establishment. The reservation was easily made via OpenTable. Upon arrival as first-timers, my partner and I were greeted by the owner at Taverna Mykonos and got a table for two right away in the corner where the tables are close to each other inside their cozy, very dim-lit, and elegant dining room with Christmas music playing throughout. There's a full bar with an extensive selection of Greek wines, with approximately 80% sourced from regions across Greece, as well as other excellent choices from California and Spain. The menu featured both authentic traditional Greek dishes along with many other options. The restaurant bakes all of its bread as well as its desserts. Traditionally, the meat of choice served during a Greek Christmas meal is lamb and pork. For starters, we decided to share Keftedes (Greek-style seasoned meatballs served with tzatziki dipping sauce). For our main meal, we opted for Baby Roasted Lamb with roasted potatoes and Lamb Shank with tomato orzo. Complimentary bread started our meal, and we washed it down with a sparkling spring water product of Greece. Complimentary cookies were given to each table at the end of the meal. The food was fresh, using quality ingredients, tasty, and well-presented. We enjoyed the keftedes very much, as they were moist and complemented well with the tzatziki dipping sauce. The portion was reasonable. However, we were disappointed with the Baby Roasted Lamb, as it was mostly bones with only some pieces of edible meat. Service is professional, friendly, and fast. The cost is comparable to the area. Exchanged a few words with the owner, George, about the old neighborhood in Astoria. Opa!

Its English name comes from a Greek legend: Zeus had an affair with a beautiful woman named Io. When Hera, his wife, discovered his infidelity, she turned Io into a cow and created a horsefly to sting her on the rump. Io jumped clear across the strait. Thus, "bous" = "cow" and "poros" = "crossing place": Bosphorus = "crossing place of the cow." Located off of busy Franklin Avenue in Nutley, my partner, our friends, and I have decided on our dinner at this family-owned-and-run BYOB establishment, which has been open since 1995. A reservation was made for a party of 4 by calling their restaurant. Upon arrival after three years, we were welcomed by Nora, the owner, and made our way to a table by the piano inside, evoking a cozy, thoughtfully designed, upscale vibe with music playing softly. Their menu features Turkish and Mediterranean cuisine. For starters, we decided on the Puffed Rill Pastry and Grape Leaves. Our main meal consisted of all lamb dishes (Lamb Shish Kebab, Beyti Kebab, Lamb Chops, and Lamb Sauté). Our food was fresh, well seasoned, and cooked to perfection, accompanied by a beautifully presented dish. Everything was authentically made with love here. Wish we could have stayed for dessert, as they looked amazing, but some of us were in a rush. It's definitely on the higher end cost but worth the taste. Our visit ended with a hug and a piece of candy.
