    well, it was perfect dinner date here.. not much crowded ( of course due to Covid), it was outdoor dining, and first come, first serve. We had already decided what we wanna have. Grilled Lamb Chops ( With Greek Fries and Grilled Vegetables) - i had ordered well done and they did the job. Juicy, well done lamb chops - it was amazing. Fries were great too. my wife opted LAMB KOKKINISTO (slow cooked Lamb with tomato sauce and cinnamon) - well, she always wanted to try greek slow cooked lamb hearing rave reviews about it. The lamb was tender but taste wise we were disappointed here. It was more of a tomato flavor, no hint of cinnamon. but nevertheless, good dining. and its located in Clifton plaza, which is itself a beautiful area. evening breeze, outdoor dining (I always prefer outdoor) and beautiful location. It's a bit pricey but worth it.

    It's been a while since I been to this restaurant and was looking forward to getting some good Greek food. When I arrived we decided to order take out and a young lady took our order. I ordered the shrimp and orzo lunch special and my manager ordered a gyro salad. It came to anout $30. We sat outside and talked while we were waiting for the food. It took about 15 minutes and the waitress forgot to separate the bags. She seemed rushed but she was cool. When I dug in after we left it was just as I remembered, tasty. I will be back.

    Great food. Clean place and great prices Servers are well trained too. Returned and again was not disappointed. I see One review complainted about prices, but, the quality of the food is still 5 stars. Inflation Is effecting all restaurants but this place is still serving quality. Support them. I did notice they have a large amount of take out orders. So the majority of consumers here appear to enjoy the food like I do ....

    Typical Greek fare like gyros and lemon potatoes. The service was very quick and we received our food in a timely manner. Everything was amazing! Prices are moderate but you receive so much you have to bring some home. We will return in the near future!

    We arrived and the place was empty. We were greeted and we chose where to sit. The server Jose was very nice. I was really upset about the menu offerings. It was over priced due to Covid as is most places. Here is what we ate below. First is the shrimp with spinach over orzo. This dish needs to come with a choice of rice. It was about 24 dollars. It should come with at least 10 shrimps at that price for that size. The spinach and shrimp were cooked well. The chef did a gold job. We had the feta on the side and the feta they have was fresh and good. Second was the lamb with tomato sauce we asked for the sauce to be put on the side for everything. It came out like this the meat needed to be larger pieces and more crisp than that. The tomato sauce was over bearing but it was a decent flavor. My guest did not eat anything they lost their appetite. Gyro sandwich 12 dollars. It was filled with fresh salad and good ingredients. The meat i was unimpressed it was salty and in pieces. For that price I was expecting nice strips of gyro meat. Instead I got pieces. It was more garlicky then I remembered. The presentation was good. Nicely wrapped. Last, we has the greek salad with chick. For 19 dollars plus 7 for the chicken not sure it was worth it. The chicken was flavored well but it was chewy. The salad was very fresh and crispy they used fresh veggies. Again asked to keep the sauces and dressings on the side they put it in the salad. We like to add the dressing or sauces as we see fit. I would not call this an authentic greek restaurant and the cost of the food over $100 dollars does is not merited. Its a slightly quality dine in restaurant. In montclair there are smaller places which give more portions with similar or better quality food and more menu choices. I was upset that I asked for a half chicken just to be grilled with rice and spinach and they would not make it. The server did not ask the manager or try to accommodate us with that especially that one guest was watching us eat. I had to stop eating in the middle cause I couldn’t continue to eat while they were not. I will not come here again unless they drop the prices significantly and provide more menu choices. Overall it was a decent experience but there was many things that could be better at this price range. I have eaten in high class restaurants in Austin within the Domain for the same cost. Wish you the best and thank you for your service. If your food was adequately priced with more menu options your restaurant would be worth another visit as the presentation and ingredients are fresh but you have to work on the meat and chicken with a new supplier.

    It's not cheap, but the food is good and so is the service. The souvlaki platter is huge, so it makes the price not so bad. I've been here twice in the past week, so I guess I can't really complain. I'm sure I'll be back again soon to try more items. Tonight was the first time I've eaten at the restaurant. I was expecting it to be even better but it wasn't nearly as good. I'm hoping it was just an off night.

    Their food was amazing. The grilled Calamari was very flavorful and the portions were very big. I left very full. I also liked the Pita bread that came with the meal andI thought it went well with the squid. The service was excellent and quick. There is a coffee between outdoor and indoor seating. Theres just no umbrellas that go with the outdoor seating so it can get hot if you decide to do outdoor seating during lunch time.

    Overpriced and it gave me a really bad stomach ache place was a bit too empty a terrible call on my part to get seafood I almost didn’t make it home if you know what I mean. Lemonade was also horrible. Ambiance and the manager or owner screaming at the waitress definitely was a turn off.

    My most recent visit was wonderful. I called to make sure that my fur baby was able to dine outdoors and they said absolutely ! The waiter was even kind enough to provide him with water without me asking. Delicious food at an affordable price and great customer service ! Bhazi approves ! I recently dined here and I was absolutely satisfied. Due to the circumstance they provided outdoor dining for their customers. The food was delightful and the service was wonderful. Be mindful customers to tip well ! The waiters and waitresses are working extra hard under the hot sun and heat.

    Loved the food and the hospitality. We drove 30 minutes and though they would close 30 min after we arrived, when we called to inquire if that would be fine, the gentleman on the phone was so warm and welcoming. We got to the place and right from service to hospitality, it was perfect! Loved the Mousaka and souvalaki. Would definitely recommend and visit again

    The best pork gyro in all of Passaic and neighboring towns!! Authentic, fresh, and service is great! My daughter and I love this place. The soups are great too! Come by, you won't regret it!

    The food is delicious at this place! I got food here the first time and I’ve been back every week for my favorite chicken souvlaki sandwich. The rice here is also amazing. Many more tasty looking dishes I want to try here but I’m so far impressed.

    The food was great the staff were so friendly and the most important that they do actually smile, very tentative and helpful. The restaurant is so clean, and you can see the chef cooking, not hiding in the back. The grilled Salmon salad is a hit and the pizza taste so natural and authentic 😋 👌

    This was my family place for last 10 years, after covid didn't go back until recently and was very surprised with food and service change. Great location and good reputation but definitely need a management change and have someone who cares more about people who works there and people who comes eat there. Poor management, waiters clearly don't care what they are doing and how they handle their costumers, food quality also went down and not the same anymore. I was witness how waiter went outside to smoke, came back never washed his hands and start serving food on front of his owner or manager who didn't say anything to him. Will be sad to have this place close down the road because of carelessness.

    This place is amazing and has amazing food. My favorite plate is octopus salad. Our second time there and the owner gave us a desert as complimentary.

  • 5/5 Nicole G. 1 year ago on Google
    I eat here 2-3times a week. Large Greek salad enough for a few people. Chicken souvlaki platter, chicken grilled perfectly. Shrimp saganaki is my favorite appetizer.

    I came here for dinner on a Friday night with 2 friends and had a wonderful experience. Besides the Gyro and Greek Salad being delicious, our server Sara went above and beyond for us. She was so kind and personable and I can’t wait to go back.
