BEEFSTEAK!!!!! These folks are doing beefsteak right!! I…read morehave been to a few Beefsteaks in my day, and while salad might be OK, and a little ice cream at the end sweetens the pot, ya gotta bring the Beef! Fercryinoutloud, that's the name of the game, Beefsteak! A little background: Beefsteak is a communal dinner, frequently done as a fund raiser for an organization. It is quite common in southern Passaic County, NJ, and almost unknown outside the area. Teams, churches, civic clubs, and community groups run these dinners as a get together, end-of-season, or kick-off gathering. The menu is Salad, Ziti, Beefsteak, and dessert. There are a few variations, like various cold antipasti like pickles and olives, or at fancier versions a whole platter of nice Italian salumi. The focus is on the Beef itself. the beef is tenderloin, sliced thin, dredged in butter, and served on a really thin piece of Italian bread. The waiter holds a plastic cafeteria tray lined with wax paper, and covered with these little open-faced sandwiches. You grab 2 or 3 off the tray each time the waiter comes by, and the the fun begins. Some guys will just fold the thing in half and eat the meat and bread together. More will eat only the meat, and stack up the bread in front of them, like poker chips. Sometimes, everyone will pool their bread and build a tower/castle structure. Giresi's beef has been really nice quality tenderloin, I am guessing it is the Australian type, based upon the size of it and the prevailing prices. Very tender, mostly medium-rare, and the perfect amount of butter and salt. I have experienced some dry and not salted beef recently, and Giresi's was far superior. The next time you need to organize a dinner, call Giresi and you will not be disappointed!

The crew showed up on time and took care of everything. Not only were they organized, but they left everything clean. Amanda was our waitress and she was phenomenal. We are used to doing everything ourselves, but decided this year we wanted to really enjoy our company. It was strange handing it over to someone else but Amanda ran everything like a well oiled machine. The food was so fresh and our company raved about the pasta especially. Delicious! We will definitely be using them again, as will some of our guests.

We been there several times and have never been disappointed. The venue is huge and is beautifully decorated. Very impressive. Their buffet appetizer was simply very good with a very large selection including offerings brought by our table. There were at least 350-400 people there last night and the sit down dinner was also overall very good. My wife had the chicken franchise, son the beef, and had the salmon. All portions were large. The salmon was a bit dry but good. I realize that can happen when ur feeding 400+ people at the same time. Justin our waiter did a great job and was very focused on doing his best to serve us.

Appetizers -Veg Manchurian Dry: Excellent and easily an early standout. It captures that authentic, street-style Indo-Chinese flavor profile straight out of India--crisp, well-seasoned vegetable dumplings tossed in a savory, garlic-ginger glaze with genuine wok char. - Gobi Chili: Good flavor with a balanced sweet-and-spicy chili coating. The florets had nice seasoning, making it an easy crowd-pleaser for the table. Mains & Breads - Paneer Bhurji: The undisputed MUST-GET of the night. Fluffy, richly spiced scrambled paneer cooked down with finely chopped onions, tomatoes, green chilies, and fragrant aromatics. The texture was spot-on, never dry, and loaded with homestyle depth. - Dal Tadka: Superb execution. A fragrant, earthy yellow lentil base finished with a sizzling tempering of cumin, garlic, and ghee that lifted the entire dish. Rich without being heavy. - Paneer Tikka Masala: A bit of an outlier--somewhat ordinary in overall presentation, but carried an intriguing, unique spice profile in the gravy that set it apart from standard versions elsewhere. - Butter Roti: Arrived warm, soft, and lightly brushed with butter, making the ideal vehicle for scooping up the bhurji and dal. A couple of minor pacing delays during the dinner rush kept it just shy of a 5, but the kitchen clearly knows what they're doing. Order the paneer bhurji and veg Manchurian dry, and you're guaranteed a fantastic meal.
