    Always stellar service and delicious high quality food. They have revamped their desserts which is great the mango and coconut sorbet are delightful and refreshing! Outdoor seating is a must in spring/summer.

    I went to Lefkes on a Friday night and made reservations ahead of time as were a party of 13. As soon as we arrived, we were seated right away since our table was already ready, which made everything start off smoothly. This is a really good Greek restaurant with a fun, lively atmosphere. We ordered a variety of dishes mix between seafood, chicken and steak, and everything was very good. The portions were decently sized just enough to leave you full, but not quite enough for leftovers. We ordered a bottle and asked the waiter separately if it could come out with sparklers. There was a slight off vibe at first and some slight attitude but as the night went on, the sever became much friendlier and attentive. The music throughout dinner was great, and some Middle Eastern songs came on that were actually really fun to dance to. After we ate, the energy picked up even more and we were able to get up and start dancing. This is definitely a perfect birthday spot if you want a mix of good food and a fun night out. Overall, we had an amazing time, great vibes and great music.

    Had a BLAST going on Saturday at 9pm for a drink. Loved the mango habanero Smokey drink was absolutely delicious. Beautiful place and people! So many bdays with people celebrating and dressed up which was so festive! The DJ, live drummer, napkin throwing, smoke machine... had so much fun dancing my butt off for hours!! Cannot wait to come back! (DJ starts after 8pm. Super party time was I think after 11pm.)

    What a beautiful place! I came here on a friend's recommendation, and I absolutely loved it. The service was fantastic; our waitress was kind and friendly. He recommended some great dishes, and the food was extremely delicious. The restaurant's interior is beautifully elegant. We chose to sit outside because the weather was sunny, and I really enjoyed it. There were some celebrations happening nearby, making it a lovely spot for a family dinner or a relaxing meal. They offer a variety of food options, some of which can be pricey, but they also have great deals during the week.

    Enjoyed a nice dinner at Lefkes Estiatorio recently! The inside is very spacious with lots of seating on the first and second floor, including a bar section. The restaurant has a warm and elegant atmosphere. However, it doesn't encapsulate its Greek theme as you'd expect it to. Ambiance rate 6.5/10. They start the dinner with complimentary garlic bread paired with hummus and olives which were good. My family and I ordered... 1. Greek Spreads: Choice of 3: - Tarama: this delectable spread made of cured fish roe was my favorite! 10/10 - Tirokafteri: this dip had a nice creamy, and slightly spicy flavor. 7/10. - Skordalia: this potato garlic dip was average considering it lacked its garlic taste. 5/10. 2. Calamari: This appetizer tasted like your classic fried calamari, nothing special. Rate 7/10. 3. Lamb Shank: This dish was very delicious! The red wine sauce made the dish super flavorful! Plus, the meat was nice and tender! Rate 8/10. 4. Seafood Linguine: This entrée was incredible! The bisque sauce tasted very good! I wish they added more seafood though. Rate 8/10. 5. Primed Dry Aged NY Strip: This meal was practically perfect considering its mouthwatering flavor, tender meat, and that it was cooked to my liking! Rate 9/10. - this dish comes with lemon potatoes which were not too tasty if your not a lemon lover like myself 6. Truffle Fries: This side was great! It had a strong truffle flavor which I prefer! Rate 8/10. The service was relatively quick and the staff were nice. Service/staff rate 7/10. Overall, my family and I thoroughly enjoyed our experience here and would definitely recommend for others to try!

    Saturday night Birthday Celebration! I've been wanting to try the food at Lefkes for a while now and felt like it would be great for my husband's birthday dinner. My friends were seated promptly upon arrival due to having reservations. Once I arrived with my husband for his surprise birthday dinner our server Herbert was very friendly and knowledgeable about the food and his recommendations were very helpful in choosing our apps and entrees. Since we were a party of 8 it was decided to choose several different apps and salads. All the food was absolutely amazing! The ambiance was great. They had a live DJ and a gentleman who walked around taking pictures. There were a few things that I wasn't fond of, the first thing was that they turned the lights down very low, second thing was that the guy who was taking pictures kept coming back to the table for more pictures which was a little annoying and the third was that our server although very funny and nice didn't get our food orders correct. I'm not sure if him not writing it down was the reason for that but that was upsetting because my husband didn't get what he ordered and it was his birthday dinner. Thank God we had great company and conversation so it wasn't a huge deal life has so many other things to focus on but a server should know with a party with more than 2 people you should write things down lol. The decor was stunning, they also have beautiful outdoor dining once weather permits and valet parking. This place is great for large dinner parties.

    Meatball pizza

    Visited Lefkes for happy hour on a Friday. We were seated quickly, but it turns out, the happy hour menu is only available in the bar area. This was annoying, but we moved to a table closer to the bar after some griping from the host. The waitstaff was friendly and accommodating otherwise. We ordered a meatball pizza, fries, rock shrimp, calamari, mini gyros, and the buffalo chicken souvlaki. They were all OK. Drinks were reasonably priced for happy hour. It's a nice restaurant, but the food wasn't anything I'd come back for. Only worth it for happy hour.

    The ambiance here is lovely. It's a beautiful restaurant with great service. I do enjoy their appetizers more than the entrees. Last time I tried the beef gyros which were okay. My favorites are their calamari and sushi rolls.

    What can I say about Lefkes, except for this place is insane. I think Friday night and Saturday night they just go all out with a DJ and napkin throwing. The vibe is crazy. We also dined here and ordered the sushi...who would've thought that sushi at a Greek restaurant would be this good. Sushi seemed a bit pricey, but for the atmosphere totally worth it. Service matched the price and vibe. Exceptional. We also met the manager of Lefkis. She's also dope as hell too. She knows how to make customers feel they need to come back. We waited about an hour after our reservation time and she hooked us up. Definitely knows how to please customers to get repeat customers. Coming back any chance I get.

    The food is good, I had a sushi roll with truffle, mayo. The drinks are very good service is good. Ambience is fine. They may get a party after 10 o'clock. But the crowd can get a little rude and rowdy. I recommend going before 10 o'clock unless you're looking for a wild night.

    Came here for lunch with some friends. We had a reservation and were seated right away. The service was excellent. Our server made recommendations, explained the best dishes in the menu, and even offered us cookies at the end of our meal. I ordered a burger and side salad with a drink. My drink was great if you like spicy and smoky margaritas. The burger was phenomenal and the side salad was good (could have used a bit more dressing for my taste). Everyone else in my party also enjoyed their meals. I will be back to try more of their great menu selections.

    Had an incredible lunch at Lefkes Estiatorio in Englewood Cliffs. The decor is absolutely beautiful and the atmosphere is elegant yet welcoming, making it a wonderful place to relax and enjoy a great meal. The lamb chops were perfectly cooked tender, flavorful, and truly outstanding. The short ribs were just as impressive, rich and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. We ended the meal with the orange cake, which was the perfect finish light, fragrant, and absolutely delicious. What made the experience even better was the exceptional service from James and Christol. They were attentive, friendly, and made us feel genuinely welcomed throughout the entire meal. Their professionalism and warmth elevated the whole experience. Highly recommend for a beautiful lunch with amazing food, a lovely atmosphere, and top-notch service! Evee and Harry

    My cousin decided to celebrate her birthday at Lefkes for Happy Hour and it was a great choice. The place is very spacious with indoor and outdoor seating options. The servers checked in on us frequently and made sure our glasses stayed full. The Happy Hour cocktails we tried were all really good and they also have a decent selection of beer. As for food, we ordered one of each appetizer on the Happy Hour list and then did a second round of our favorites. The Veggie Chips were fried perfectly, not too oily and paired extremely well with the tzatziki; we doubled up on those. I also really liked the Buffalo Souvlaki. It was cooked perfectly and the Buffalo sauce added a different flavor to the traditional dish. I feel like it's really easy to have overcooked, dried out souvlaki but that wasn't the case here. Honestly, I enjoyed every dish we ordered. Needless to say I left very full and satisfied. If their Happy Hour is any indication of how Lefkes is overall, they're probably very good! I'd come back.

The recent expansion into the neighboring space really opened things up with plenty of seating without sacrificing energy. Noise level was balanced, lively but still easy to talk.

I ordered the Meraki Passion Platter, while my wife had the butterflied branzino with Patates Tiganites. The homemade round fries are addictive - thin fries with a crisp outside. Portions are generous without being excessive. Service was polished and familiar; we've seen many of the same staff over the years, which says a lot.

I have absolutely no love for the pita bread--it consistently arrives limp, lifeless, and somehow overwhelmingly starchy. And the hand-cut fries? Now THESE are fries worth talking about! Fresh, delicious, and exactly what fries are supposed to be. As a certified French fry enthusiast, I wholeheartedly approve. Overall, this is one of those places where I already have my favorites--and I'm happily working my way through the rest of the menu.
