    Spaghetti Meatsauce
    Steve N.

    Malek's has been around for many years. It's a great place to eat especially late at night as it is open into the early morning hours everyday of the week. Service is always good and the food is great. I usually get a sub or pasta. On this occasion, I ordered baked Spaghetti with meatballs. The meatballs are made from scratch and are excellent. My wife had spaghetti with meat sauce and was very pleased. Malek's is a great local place with quality food. It's a family restaurant with all ages enjoying the food and atmosphere.

    Combo pizza hand tossed, no ground beef

    Tried this pizza place late one night, and it did not disappoint. Seems like a nice spot, good service, friendly atmosphere and food was good. I got the hand tossed combo pizza without ground beef, and it was pretty good! Just for one person I think the Small is more than enough. They make everything from scratch and the pizza took about 20 minutes. I'll have to stop by again to try their other specials!

    We got green peppers and red onion pizza and it tasted like you're just eating raw green peppers

    It might look ok but it's disgusting, lazy, and tasteless pizza. The toppings aren't baked in at all. It's basically raw vegetables thrown on top of cheese. We wanted to support a small business but you're better off getting something like Papa John's or Ledo's.

    Down to earth booth and table seating.

    The medium cut French fries came out hot and fresh. The first bite was greeted by a crisp warm burst of f-ing amazing flavor. Paired with chilled Heinz ketchup I found another heaven. Thank you! And that's just the French fries. Heavens keep opening up with the steak and cheese. Fluffy delicious bread filled with the right combination of lettuce, tomatoes, grilled onions, cheese, sauce, and hot peppers. The meat gets a mention alone. Damn! Thank you for a wholesome, flavorful, and all round great meal. All while seated in down to earth booths and tables with walls adorned with greenery, paintings, and a cool tapestry. I have to try a New York style pepperoni pizza from this place. P.S. It is "Maa-lex" not "Muh-leeks"

    12 inch pie. Half pepperoni half sausage. Heated in oven on pizza stone for 10 mins.

    I've lived in Springfield for over 5 years and have never given this place a try. After reading all the great reviews I decided to try it out. I'm a New Yorker who loves a good pizza pie. Went in on a Friday evening and there were quite a few people dining. That's always a good sign. When I walked in I was immediately greeted by the ladies at the front desk. Based on the reviews I was most curious to try their pizza. I went with a small 12 inch pie, which is 8 slices (all their pies are 8 slices). Just enough for 2 people. I got half pepperoni half sausage. Since I was taking it home I asked them not to cut it so that I could pop it in the oven on my pizza stone once to get the bubbly cheese and crispy crust. I also ordered their chili which was their soup of the day (very good chili). The chili reminded me a little bit of Wendy's chili, which I love. The pizza was everything I hoped for in a pizza. It reminded me of a New York pie, which doesn't happen often. I can't believe it took me so long to give this place a try. This will definitely be my go to place whenever I'm having a pizza craving.

    It had been several years since we had visited this restaurant, and the interior ambiance is pretty much the same as before. Actually I used to come to this restaurant years ago when I was in high school. Back then it was a small pizzeria. I think this place is still owned by the same family but I'm not sure. I ordered a baked spaghetti with meat sauce that cost an additional $2.00. My Mom ordered the chicken parmesan platter. Both of our platters came with a side house salad. We waited a decent amount of time for our orders, and they both can honour table hot. The spaghetti was not that good honestly. There were huge chunks of meat sauce but little to no actual tomato sauce. I managed to eat about half of it. My Mom mentioned that the chicken breast slices were somewhat dry, but still ok. I like this place but the food was a little dissapointing.

    Tonight was our very first time dining at Eleni's Greek Tavern, and it absolutely will not be our…read morelast. From the moment we walked in, we felt genuinely welcomed. There was a second birthday party in full swing, yet the family who owns the restaurant greeted us with such warmth and kindness and invited us to sit wherever we felt comfortable. You can immediately tell this is a place built on heart, humility, and truly good people. The service stood out in the best way. I asked whether the Caesar dressing contained anchovies due to a pregnancy restriction, and although our server wasn't completely sure, he handled it with care and thoughtfulness. He brought the dressing on the side and offered to swap it entirely out of an abundance of caution, which meant a lot and showed how much they value their guests' comfort. And the food. Absolutely delicious. Every dish tasted fresh and authentic, and the sauces alone are worth coming back for. You can tell everything is made with intention and pride. What really makes this place special, though, is the feeling you leave with. By the end of dinner, it doesn't feel like you just ate at a restaurant. It feels like you were welcomed into a family. If you're looking for authentic Greek food, incredible hospitality, and a dining experience that feels personal and memorable, I cannot recommend Eleni's Greek Tavern enough.

I also tried their Greek potato, which is a baked potato with olive oil, oregano, and lemon. If you like lemon, you're sure to love the Greek potato. It's a family owned and family friendly restaurant. The staff is so great & kind with kids; it's always such a joy to bring our daughter there. The restaurant isn't the easiest to get to and hard to see from the street, but you won't be disappointed with the quality of food and service!

I want to mention I was meeting friends and never did we once feel like we were rushed at all. They were very careful to watch and approach in a perfectly timed manner. The food was all very good. The fried zucchini was served not at all as I would expect. Very thin, but good. The tzatziki sauce had way too much garlic. The fried squid was excellent. Probably the best I've ever had. Extremely tender, and the coating was not hard at all. The scoldolia (garlic spread) served in the center had very little garlic in it. It should have a lot of garlic, unlike the tzatziki sauce. The octopus was served with a lovely, what I believe to be, lemony hummus. The Bronzino was excellent. The seafood souvlaki special was very good. It was served with rice and Greek style green beans. My friends had the loukumades (fried donuts). They said they were very good. I had the galotopoudiko which was good--could've been a little bigger for the price. Will definitely go back. My only comment is for the prices, I would expect a little nicer atmosphere. It's a little cold and baron. The atmosphere at Nostos is better. Sorry, but I always seem to forget to take pictures before I start eating the food.

    The food and ambience were both excellent (truly a 5/5!) The owner (or who we believe was the…read moreowner) also came by our table to check in and talk with us about the food, and he was very friendly. We appreciated that interaction and thought it added a nice personal touch to the meal. That being said, the end of the experience felt rushed once the restaurant got busier. Our server came by our table multiple times asking if we were still working on our food and even offered boxes on one occasion, despite us clearly still eating. It felt like there was pressure to clear the table. At one point, a different staff member also asked if she could take some of our plates. My friend had finished, so she said yes, but I was still eating and she almost removed my plate and I had to stop her. We were a bit confused by the urgency since there were still empty tables and no visible wait for seating. Unfortunately, it made the end of the meal uncomfortable for me, as I don't eat well when I feel rushed. It may have just been our server, but unfortunately the experience toward the end was unpleasant, which left a negative final impression.
