I come here every week after my painting class. Also on occasion for dinner. They have fresh authentic Greek cuisine that is consistently delicious. They have amazing specials daily. The roasted chicken is juicy and flavorful. The Greek lemon chicken soup is the best I have had in a long time. The manager and all the wait staff are kind, friendly and generous. When you go there it feels like you're walking into a Greek café on the island of Mykonos. And what's more it is BYOB. I could go on and on about the different delicious dishes including the lamb and the gyros but I suggest you go there and try everything on the menu. You won't be disappointed. read more

Yasou Mykonos - Greek Near Me - Demarest, New Jersey

DoorDash did a great job delivering our food. Will definitely use the service again. Our food from Yasou Mykonos was terrible. We ordered two gyro platters. On one platter we paid $2.00 extra ($18 total) for a side of roasted vegetables. You had to look through a microscope to find them-- only a few bits. Instead of traditional sliced gyro meat there were little shredded chunks of meat. The Greek fries were limp and tasteless. The Greek salad served on the platter was tiny and nothing special. This was the first and last time we'll get food from Yasou Mykonos. read more

Great restaurant. The food was amazing and the hospitality/service was even better. The spicy feta appetizer was very unique and delicious. The kebab (spicy lamb/beef) was really good. Kids loves the gyro and chicken bites (freshly made real chicken, not the frozen formed stuff). The Mediterranean chicken and orzo was the highlight. The owner was very hospitable and provided a great personalized touch to our dinner. This will definitely be a regular spot for us going forward. read more

The place is so quaint~ I love that I feel like I'm eating outdoors! The food was delicious and the prices were very fair! Will definitely be back read more

I recently had the rotisserie chicken and it was dripping in fat and the inside tasted very fatty and a bit salty. I do not know if anything was changed here but I do remember it being much better. The new manager was gruff and a bit dismissive on the [phone. I remember Scott? the previous manager as being much nicer and appreciative of my business. read more

Fantastic meal. Had chicken gyro, lamb/beef platter, fried calamari. Both types of gyro meat were actually recognizable as meat and very flavorful. They put actual cuts of meat on the vertical spit, not the cylindrical mystery meat that most places use. The calamari had a delicious delicate batter and was cooked just right. No rubbery squid here thankfully. Rice pudding was flavored nicely and not too sweet. Comes out as a bit of a cake, not soupy. Very nice. Decor is fresh and clean. Nice job. I have been looking for a laid-back place for great Greek food near Tenafly. This is my goto place now. read more

I had high hopes for a Greek restaurant closer to my home and was not let down at all. After traveling to Greek Village for years it's so nice to have a great place so close by! Everyone from the owner, waiter and cooks were very nice and went out of their way to make sure we were satisfied. read more

See all

Loved this place portions are great and food is amazing 5 stars I have been to other places but like this one best for value

Let me preface my remarks by saying that we are huge devotees of Greek food. Sadly, in Bergen county we have been limited to only a few moderately acceptable choices, and not at great prices. Until now. Yasou Mykonos is a little slice of Mediterranean heaven. The atmosphere is fresh and clean, with the requisite blue and white, a little nook torn straight out of the Greek Isles. The owner's obsession with natural and fresh ingredients is reflected in virtually everything they do. Their yogurt, so vital in the Greeek diet, is marvelously fresh, tangy and dense. Thus, their fantastic Tsasiki is quite unlike anything elsewhere - not at all "wet" or "watery" - and simply exploding with flavor. Their various Pita sandwiches, the Gyros and Souvlakis, are taste sensations. Loaded with juicy chunks of meat, wonderfully fresh tomato, that great Tsasiki, onions, and the restaurant's very special french fries, these sandwiches are juicy, filling, and explode with flavor. We've been to Yasou Mykonos at least 10 times, and we've never had a bad one. And between me, the wife and the two kids, we order a variety of them. But I want to single out one thing on their menu that is beyond description good. Their rotisserie chicken. This is no ordinary bird. Again, the quality-obsessed owner buys -massive- ones, the largest I've ever seen. The simple seasonings are sprinkled on, and then the chickens are placed on skewers in a special imported-from-Canada rotisserie with a steam tray in the bottom, ensuring moistness and crispiness, all at the same time. Folks, my wife and I are from Montreal, where chicken is a mainstay and there are at least 100 chicken restaurants serving the city. We grew up on rotisserie chicken as a twice-weekly staple. Yasou Mykonos' chicken surpasses anything we've had, anywhere. It is simply -that- good. We often swing by, buy a couple and bring them home for dinner, saving the leftovers. His salads are lovely affairs - his Greek Salad is very generous and wonderfully fresh. The large is -large- to be sure. And again, his focus on freshness and quality ingredients stand out. We've not sampled many of the main courses, so I can't readily comment on those. We've limited ourselves to sandwiches, the amazing rotisserie chicken, and some side dishes. As for dessert: Their yogurt is the house specialty and we recommend it with the honey. They have a sour cherry sauce, and could/should be more generous with the cherries and the sauce. You tend to run out of it to quickly - and coupled with the tangy yogurt, it will challenge some palates. The other specialty - again, an all natural concoction, is out-of-this-world rice pudding. Quite simply the best we've had in ages. I've read some reviews below and frankly I suspect they may be the musings of folks who little appreciate what this owner has accomplished. I have no idea how anyone could compare this restaurant to Greek Village or It's Greek to Me - not only in terms of hospitality, but culinary style. The management at Yasou Mykonos has legitimately created a little BYOB gem. The wait staff is lovely - bright young men, eager to please and enthusiastic about the cuisine. The kitchen, early on, had spasms - sometimes it could be very slow during busy take-out hours - but this seems to have largely been rectified of late. Yasou Mikonos is readily accessible from many points throughout northern Bergen County, and parking is never a problem. A final word: The prices. Everything is spot-on-reasonable, and a well-ordered dinner will never ding your wallet. I recommend this restaurant highly, as does the rest of my family. read more

I work in Haworth and there aren't many options for lunch in the area. My boss says the food isn't all that great. A co-worker says they're good and orders from them all the time. Since I've been getting mixed reviews, I decided to check it out for myself and ordered lunch take out. I called ahead and ordered a beef/ lamb gyro with a side of Greek fries (seasoned with lemon and oregano) with feta cheese. The gyros come with fries inside and my co-worker gave me the heads up that the fries tend to be soggy in the gyro. So I asked them to omit the fries in my gyro. They told me my order would be ready in 15 mins. In 10 mins I was there. Walking into the place, I was greeted my a server who was cleaning the tables. The place looked nice, neat and clean. The guy behind the counter was also nice and greeted me with a smile. My meal cost about $12, which was a bit more than I wanted to spend, so I thought to myself, "This BETTER be good" I opened up the take out bag and noticed a bag of cold fries. I asked for Greek fries with feta. This was a bag of plain, cold, soggy fries. GROSS. The gyro had fries in it when I specifically said to omit it from the sandwich! Just as my co-worker warned, it was SOGGY. Again, GROSS. The gyro was covered in onions, the meat was tough and there wasn't much tzatziki sauce so it made the gyro dry. Third time... GROSS! For this lunch to be on the pricey side, I was hoping it would make up in taste. It definitely didn't! I usually like to give a place a second chance but I don't think I'll bother. read more

Been here a few times, always enjoyed it very much. The food is excellent, the service is great and friendly, the some of the deals can't be beat. Half a rotisserie chicken for $8, add two sides for $1 - more food than most can handle for $9, and delicious! Tim who served us here today was knowledgable, efficient and happy! read more

Yasou Mykonos - Half a chicken with two sides! - Greek Near Me - Demarest, New Jersey

My coworkers and I have come here for lunch several times. The small salads are huge, fresh and consistently good. I always get the Greek salad with grilled chicken. The chicken is SO flavorful and delicious, it's why I can't seem to order anything else. Other ladies I work with have tried other salads on the menu and are always pleased. The service is great and the guys are always friendly. Not sure why so many bad reviews but I have never left unhappy. The only cons are parking can be dicey but the food and service are worth it! read more

I have to say, I am completely baffled by the negative reviews I read here. My family has eaten here and had takeout probably 5 or 6 times and have yet to have a single complaint amongst any of us. The service is friendly, knowledgable and helpful. The owner, Chris is also extremely nice and came over to introduce himself. I will take this kind of service over the places where the waitstaff can hardly be bothered with you. We have tried many items, including gyros, souvlaki platter, pastichio, moussaka,as well as various spreads and appetizers, and salads. Their rotisserie chicken is out of this world, Truly the best I have ever eaten. Decor is spare but nice. Focus on the food, you will be glad you did. read more

Although this restaurant is open only since June 2012, having read previous reviews which obviously were written by competitors or angry people (who else would mention competitor's names or write negative reviews stating that the food was 'expensive" IMHO, those reviewers were very biased. I believe that most diners will want to try Yasou Mykonos and see for themselves how the experience and food is. As an experienced foodie I am confident that Yasou Mykonos will be increasingly rated five stars because the entire surprisingly large and cheerful staff truly wants to delight their customers. Yasou Mykonos and its staff try incredibly hard to please customers and make guests feel comfortable . You won't find any 'mystery meat" on the spits here; only real beef, lamb or chicken. Since the spits are located in the front they are one of the first signs that Yasou Mykonos is a different, and much better restaurant. We have eaten here now three times and each time tried something else. For the price paid, it is not only excellent food but a true bargain. There are other great Greek restaurants in the area, but they are much more expensive and not as much fun. We can't wait to return again and again! read more

Just brought in 2 large Greek salads with grilled chicken . Great food and fair prices . The owner happened to be there and he was delight to talk to . He really shows pride in his restaurant . Don't walk there , run there . Absolute pleasure to do business with Yasou Mykonos . I'll be back real soon . read more

I have gone 3 times. It was a great experience. The owners Chris and Tom were great. The experience is like you entered into a Mykonos restaurant. in Greece The people are nice, the place has a buzz and the decor is awesome. I have tried most of the key dishes but the best are Gyros. Both the chicken and regular Gyro is off the charts because it is not processed meat. They also add greek fries to the gyro's which is like it served in Mykonos. The yogurt was excellent because it is homemade and healthy, which is used for the tzatchi also. If you are looking to bring your family to place and eat high quality and healthy greek food this is the place. Don't feed your family junk greek food but rather high quality food for an extra few dollars. This is exactly what is need to keep our communities thriving and healthy. Great Job Chris and Tom. Also, if you don't like anything, they will make it right which is great customer service. read more

Went last Friday for a quick, casual, outdoor meal. You order inside and they bring the food right out to you. It's such a treat to go local, have a great meal and sit outside and enjoy the great outdoors. I have tried all of the salads at one time or another and they are absolutely delish. While I love a Greek salad, there are so many equally great salads to choose from. While I don't know all of the names, the humus was delish, as was the eggplant dip and the beet/feta dip. All were great with warmed pita. The souvlaki's were also good with a bonus of french fries inside the wrap. Lastly don't forget to try the desserts...delish! The owner happened to be there the last time we went and it was nice to see an owner personally involved with his business! read more

We really like this place, but we have stuck to what we know, so that helps and this is what has worked for us: the grilled octopus appetizer, the souvlaki, most of the sides (especially the lemon potatoes), and the salads. Some of the dips are good, with my husband and I debating on the taramosalata, because it's not the usual type you get in restaurants, I think it might even be homemade, but my husband argues it's less salty which he likes. The gyro platter was light on the meat and a little different than what tastes like gyro meat - I have to agree with the other comment that this was disappointing. Also, the crust and cheese on the pies are denser than what we're used to. Also, they offer a lighter option menu that was devised with a local physician, which I really like, because it enables my dad - as a heart patient - to know what will work for him when he joins us. That said, the owner just last night asked me when I put half my soup aside if I didn't like it - which wasn't the case, there was just so much I wanted to take half home, so I could have the rest of my order. But I see this as an opportunity to tell him if something isn't to your liking. My experience with him is that he's very friendly and willing to listen, as opposed to some other places when they just don't want to hear it. I very much like the ambience of this place, as well as the service of the staff - we can see they're trying and we'll keep coming back, ordering our favorite things as usual, while trying at least one new thing to work through our way through the menu. read more

I have no idea why there are bad reviews for this place! My boyfriend and I took out food last night and it was delicious! We both had beef souvlaki, Greek fries, rice pilaf and tzatziki. The souvlaki was better (and the best I've ever had) than the one I previously had from a different Greek place, and everything else was just delectable! It was VERY fair priced. We only spent 12 bucks and change, and for that much food, the price was great. The staff was very warm, inviting, and answered questions we had about certain dishes. We will definitely eat here again - and soon! read more

Being that my favorite place in Emerson closed for greek food I decided to give this place a try. Great decor. The food was let's say NOT GREEK. If I wanted altered Greek food I would visit Its Greek To Me. Save your time and spare your aggravation!! WHY OR WHY DID THE GYRO PLACE CLOSE?! My fa read more

I have tried both locations and feel that I can give a fair assessment of them after spending over $120 in total from both locations. The pros first. The food seems fresh, the employees are courteous and helpful and the insides of both establishments seem clean and updated. They offer a decent amount of Greek staples such as my beloved moussaka, baklava, pastitsio and more. The cons would be the seasoning for some of the items just seem to be missing that strong bold Greek flavors that I have come to know from Greek cuisine in Queens. Lastly, the portions for takeaway. If I am spending $17 on a pastitsio entree, I expect a decent size cut of it, however they gave me an extremely small square. I also spent $10 on grilled calamari and received about 7 tiny rings of them and they were rubbery at that. I am not a person who minds spending $ on good food and am permanently stuck in the working class bracket because of my expensive food habit, but I do expect consistency and ample portion for 1 adult male. I will be back a third time because I do recognize that businesses are struggling during COVID and I want to give charitable assumption that things can improve as restrictions decrease. read more

So, I ordered the beef/lamb gyro platter with Greek fries. The meat was very flavorful however there were chunks of fatty pieces among it. The salad was DELICIOUS as I'm a huge lover of Greek salad with all the fixings. The downside of it all was the Greek fries and the amount of olive oil. The Greek fries were very bland and could use a little more seasoning. The amount of olive oil used was overkill. The fries (as well as the rest of the dish) were literally swimming in it. I poured about a third of a cup out halfway through. I'd probably try their food again as the salad was very good. read more

Yasou Mykonos - Beef/Lamb Gyro platter with Greek Fries and Greek Salad. (Takeout) - Greek Near Me - Demarest, New Jersey

Food is mediocare and overpriced. Owner and manager is very dismissive and will argue that he serves high quality food when there are more qualified restaurateur who can claim that. They think that they are doing good but there are far better Greek choices in the neighborhood like Greek Village and many more. Instead of making it right to customers who spend their money, he will insult them and argue that you have cheap taste and style. Very unprofessional. It's not about money but honest opinion. That's why reviews are important because this is one way they can improve but I guess not for this guy. read more

Really, there are enough Greek restaurants in the area that this place should be more competitive. The food wasn't Greek. Falafel was awful, lamb gyro was TINY. And terrible. The waitress wouldn't leave us alone "can I get youse anything?" every other minute. The MOST garlicky hummus I've ever tasted. Very disappointing. The decor was lovely. Looked like Santorini. read more

My picky son is now addicted to the Chicken gyros ... This being said I've tried every salad with chicken, shrimp or grilled calamari and haven't been disappointed. If you haven't tried this place try it... If you have and haven't been back go back :) read more

Yasou Mykonos - Enjoy a sunny view while enjoying a yummy lunch :) - Greek Near Me - Demarest, New Jersey

Three strikes and you're out. I've never thought the food was great here, but people like it so we thought we'd give it one more try. I ordered a Greek salad online, and per the instructions specified which items I did not want (onions, capers, olives, tomatoes -- yes, weird, but I prefer just greens and cheese). When I opened it up at home, the salad consisted ONLY of the things I said I did not want. Called the restaurant and a young woman ungraciously said, "Well OK ..........." I think the proper response would have been to make up a new salad for me pronto or to credit my account for a salad I obviously wouldn't eat. My family ordered lamb sandwiches that they said were good. The Greek fries were cold and the lemon soup was tasty but over-salted. Ordering in during a pandemic should be a treat, not a disappointment. Greek Village in Northvale is much, much better. read more

Was once a steady, reliable, local gem...gone steadily downhill last couple years. Food, service, cleanliness....a general lack of care or interest on the part of staff...sadly last night was our final visit. read more

I have ordered from here a few times- a fair amount of sitting in and take out. I do have to say that the first few times the food was not as good as I expected it to be. I have gotten take out during this pandemic and the food could not have been better'! I am not sure if they changed their cooks or what but it's definitely gone up hill! I would recommend if you are in the area to go here! read more

Something has definitely changed over the last month or two. Staff has changed and vibe isn't as friendly as before. Prices have gone up for sure and the food isn't as good. I don't think this will be my go-to spot anymore. read more

great food, always fresh. Pleasant staff, especially Scott. Great local spot

Ordered delivery through the app tonight and everything was delicious! Ordered the hummus really good, chicken kebab with a side greek salad. Arrived 10 mins early with the driver wearing a mask and gloves. Super easy to order and the food was delicious. The take out containers are also really nice and the food was presented well in them. Cant wait to try more items on their menu! read more

We love this place. Its a cosy place ran by a very nice welcoming family. Every here and then on Friday night when we get a little lazy cooking dinner we take out from Mykonos. My #1 dish is the tomato soup. The kids always take the chicken plater dish. Also the falafel dish is great. Keep on the good job read more

Stopped by on a Saturday while working. Walked in and got greeted immediately. I ordered a Greek salad with grilled chicken, it was ready in about 15 minutes since the chicken was freshly grilled. The size of the salad was perfect and tasted awesome. They also gave me a grilled pita on the side which I thought was a nice touch. Definitely worth the price. read more

As a frequent customer at Yasou Mykonos, born and raised in Athens until I moved to Demarest 12 years ago, I feel the need to provide my own review. Unlike previous comments, the quality of this food brings me right back to meals I used to have with my family in Greece. The tomatoes ripe and delicious and the lamb seasoned perfectly with just the right amount of lemon and oregano as my grandmother used to make. Some changes were made to their set-up and menu but the harsh comments related to prices and size are inaccurate and with any business change it can take time to see what works best. This is the time to support local restaurants! My husband, children, and I continue to order from Mykonos where the staff feels like family and the food has never been better. read more

One of my favorite Greek restaurants. The meat is tender and flavorful. The lemon potatoes were great and the pita is soft and warm

Looking forward to finally eating in the restaurant. Have only had delivery - which was fast and delivered perfectly. Hot foods - hot and separated cold foods -cold. The chicken whether whole, half or in gyro is the best ever had. The other meats offered (pork, beek & lamb) are also very impressive, The salads are uniquely different but very fresh and delicious as well as their assortment of hummus and dips. If you ever get a chance try their Spanakorizo (baked spinach, feta & rice) an incredible side that before you realize it is gone. So recommend this place for a wonderfully fresh, healthy and delicous meal and if it so happens they great leftovers (if you are able to stop.) read more

This place is a hidden gem! The menu is extensive and the food is so delicious. The hummus and pita are extremely fresh and flavorful. Didn't get to try any dessert as we were too full from the generous portions , but the desserts looked amazing. The staff here goes above and beyond to ensure a great dining experience. Can't wait to return! read more

I used to love this place - in fact crave their food. Thank t was so good. The last few times have been different and perhaps it has changed owners, or the owner is just absent. Tonight we got so much grisle on both the chicken and the beef- no one is trimming the meat like they used to. Just not the same. read more

July 4th at 7:00pm. Just found out about this place. Ordered 2 chicken souvlaki, spanakopita, and Spanaki to go for $54.00.
