    Beef & Lamb Gyro Platter & Tirokafteri
    Tina C.

    Good portion on everything but pita. Felt like I needed more pita if I want to finish my feta dip. Even for the beef lamb platter, I wish they give at least two pita. Otherwise I'm pretty happy with the portion they gave. It's a budget friendly meal to get. It's a very causal and mainly take out. The workers were super friendly. There are many Greek products displaying around the restaurant and top it off with some Greek music. Love the vibe!

    Greek Salad perfection!
    Suzy B.

    I was at the Jersey Shore outlets and checked Yelp for "best greek salad near me". Yup, Yelp nailed it. This greek salad was fresh and delicious and exactly what i was looking for. I also ordered a side of Tzatziki and it was one of the best i've had ... no joke. this place is legit and I will definitely be back!

    Chicken Souvlaki Platter

    Top notch, delicious, very generous portions. Got the chicken souvlaki platter and lentil soup (which was a surprise favorite).

    As someone who loves Greek food, I always have high expectations. This spot was awesome! Not only did the food get delivered hot and ready to eat, but the portions were out of this world. So many leftovers which is always a nice bonus!

    Great tasting, fresh food prepared like Yaiyai made it! Friendly, fast service and fair prices! It should be on your "go/to" list. The ambiance is simple but nice enough for lunch or a casual dinner. Cannot recommend it enough!

    Pastichio

    One of my go to spots when visiting the area. I love being served in to-go tins. Just makes it easier. They give you enough food for 2 meals. My gyro is on point and the house salad is so good. My wife's Pastichio was very good. Her choice of side was the lemon soup. Tasted just like my mom's. Finally the dessert Galaktobureko is made fresh everyday. How you can ignore this spot, I don't know how. One of the best Greek spots in NJ. Having a Greek market inside is a nice touch.

    THE BEST! Best best best Greek food I've ever had! Found this place on yelp while visiting the area and it was beyond expectations! The service was beyond amazing from beginning to end! The ambiance absolutely gorgeous! Everything was just amazing! Everything fresh made to order and I can't say enough good about it!

    Chicken Souvlaki Platter

    Met a friend for lunch. 3 pleasant ladies were at the counter taking orders. I wasn't sure what I wanted as it smelled so good in there. I finally decided on the chicken souvlaki platter. It was too much food and can certainly do two meals for me anyway. Maybe three! Chicken was juicy and fries were cooked well. Took it home for a snack later. My friend had the lamb which was the special and he enjoyed it. Ate it all. Next time I'm in town, this will be a spot I keep on my list.

    Greek chicken salad was super bland. Not much seasoning on the salad. The chicken was dry, no shade to put on it to st least make it moist.

I started asking one of the attendants about the ingredients when she gestured to get someone else to help in English. The lady that came over was so friendly, patiently explained any dishes I had questions about, gave me samples to make decisions, and gave me candid recommendations on the entrees and desserts. She spent a total of 15-20 minutes with me just to plan a small gathering for three: three types of salad, Hungarian chicken, lamb samsa, and two types of deserts, which rang up to $70. The salads were instant home runs, so fresh and tasty, and everyone raved about it. Most customers speak Russian with the attendants, and it looks like most attendants can provide at least minimal assistance in English. I see myself coming back regularly to try other goodies.

    There are a number of similar names for this small, but mighty, establishment floating around on…read morethe internet: Ninth Avenue International Foods, Ninth Avenue International Market, International Grocery & International Food, Ninth Avenue International Grocery, or just what's written on the sign: International Grocery. Whatever the actual name, it seems that this Mediterranean specialty store has been open since 1947, run first by the Smitsis Family, and then the Karamouzis (including brothers Sotiris, Dinos, and Panayiotis). The Karamouzis moved it a few doors north to its present location in 1983. The neighborhood around the store has evolved a great deal over the years, but inside, old world charm persists. Everywhere you look there are bulk bins, barrels, and sacks brimming with: - Spices: all the staples needed for Mediterranean, Indian and North African cuisines, including za'atar, dried tamarind, cloves, allspice, rock salt, cumin, coriander, turmeric, paprika, red pepper, black mustard seed, etc... - Dried fruits: pineapple, apricots, raisins, figs, diced orange peel, dates, etc... - Dried nuts: cashews, macadamias, almonds in every form, walnuts, pistachios, etc.. - Grains, beans, lentils, and flours - Coffee I love that International Grocery has stuck with bins and barrels for all these years. Bulk bins were the norm when the store first opened and are so much more environmentally friendly than the ubiquitous single use plastic packaging we see nowadays. Environmentally conscious folks are increasingly coming around to appreciate bulk bins and I wouldn't be surprised if they became the hot "new" trend in coming years. If you stick with something for long enough, it comes back into fashion, right? The wonders don't end with all those glorious bins, however. Far from it. Improbably, all of the following (and more) also neatly fit into a store the size of a suburbanite's two-car garage: - Olives -- about 10-15 kinds by my last count, but I've seen even more varieties at times. I love my crisp, green Castelvetranos and black Kalamatas; the Progeny loves her pimento-stuffed Manzanillas. - Antipasti (mushrooms, artichokes, giardiniera, gigantes plaki) and preserved lemon peel - Feta (Bulgarian, Greek) and other cheeses - Tzatziki and other spreads - A variety of fresh and packaged pastries (baklava, kourabiedes, koulourakia) and halvas - Olive oils, pomegranate molasses, carob molasses - Pita breads and pasta - Rose water - Amardeen (an apricot leather used to make a Syrian drink of the same name) Prices are quite fair and the owners + staff are kind, generous, gentle and gracious. When my 10-year old privately expressed interest in the orange peel to me, one of the owners overheard and offered her some to try. They didn't look at all askance when she delightedly opened various bins to sniff the beautiful aromas within. (I did teach her to waft the smells to her nose by hand a la chemistry lab, instead of sticking her head into each bin.) As much as I detest the areas around Port Authority -- it's one of the dirtiest, smelliest parts of NYC -- I do go out of my way for International Grocery and will for as long as we're both around.

    Absolutely love this place! First found it when looking for some spices I'd never heard of before…read morefor a Palestinian dessert.

It was a bit sticky but ok. Hubs said he remembered this in the past when Chinese restaurants did this. He thought it was a little sweet for his taste, but it was delicious in a nostalgic way. Lumpia - This tasted like a Chinese vegetarian egg roll. I'm used to lumpias being thin and small but this was more like an egg roll. It was still pretty good. Lechon with sausages and bean vermicelli with vegetables. Hubs said the lechon was tasty. This is similar to Chinese roast pig. He said that the sausages had a sweet and salty umami essence and that it was also delicious. The bean vermicelli with vegetables were a nice high fiber filler which we're familiar with. Bitter melon with pork belly and gravy on rice. We thought the bitter melon was a little undercooked for our taste. But, when reheated, it was delicious. The pork belly with gravy was mixed nicely with the rice. The spare ribs and potatoes were also pretty good. Hubs said that he liked it and thought it was a nice mix with the rice. This place is a hole in the wall. There was only one table in there which someone was eating when we were there. We ended up eating in the car. Service was friendly .

Again, this store has a lot of spices and sauces you can buy and I have to urge you to go by and try the hot plate food, don't be shy to try new stuff. Start with the pancit and lumpia, two favorites of mine and probably will be for you too!

There was also a traditional chinese BBQ counter with things like Char Siu and crispy roasted pork which was a great and welcomed suprise to me. The aisles were filled with a good range of spices, sauces, noodles, and other pantry staples from different asian cultures that I stocked up on. You can tell the store was a little older and gives your traditional Asian supermarket vibes so if that holds you back, I would say give them a chance anyway as it is clean, well-organized, and reminds me of my childhood stores. I found the prices to be very competitive.
