Tapas Restaurants near Englewood, NJ

“Excellent food, although the portions could be larger. We had sangria, fried calamari, Arroz Pescador. The service was truly out of the scale. Flaco even sang “Happy Anniversary” to us with a complimentary flan and candle. He was funny (dropped by our table on purpose just to say a joke or two). Really lovely person.Parking: Easy“

“Had a fabulous meal here with friends eating in warm and attractive outside seating. The crisp roast lamb (actually lamb neck cooked like osso bucco but with Middle Eastern spices) was one of the best meat dishes I’ve eaten in years. Really, a piece of art!! Go savor some!“

“As always Elea, great service, great food! Our server was Christina, who was very friendly with a smile on her face which made our experience even better. As a Greek, I love Elea, it is my go to restaurant and I introduce to all my friends.“

“One of my favorite restaurants in all of Astoria! My husband and I always bring friends and family here when they visit the neighborhood. The staff is always so incredibly nice and generous (Miljan is usually our server and is so attentive and hilarious). We always have a wonderful time here, whether it’s a quiet weekday lunch or a packed Saturday night.“

“We walked in with no reservations on a Saturday night (we had just arrived in the city) and only had a 45 minute wait. The food is delicious, I had pork tonkatsu ramen, and my husband had a seafood okonomiyaki. We shared a soy and ginger beef appetizer and got their seasonal Miu Miu cocktail. The service was quick once we were seated and the staff was friendly. The only drawback is that the space is loud, and it is uncomfortable to try and have a conversation over your meal. That may not be a problem on a weekday though.“

“"Tapas-style" Korean menu in a location perfect for a pre-theatre dinner! The raw scallop, bossam, and kimchi fried rice were all super flavorful and delicious. The only complaint I had was for the cheese corn riblets - they just quartered the corn cobs for this dish so you still have to bite the corn off the cob section, instead of just cutting the kernels off into riblets like most restaurants do. Makes it messier than necessary. The $16-18 bottles of Kikusui sake on the menu are a definite plus!“

“Everything was an 10/10! Amazing atmosphere, had such a great time! Luis assisted with excellent service and the food was great. (Empanadas did not disappoint) Went during happy hour so it was worth every second. Definitely coming back! Thank you Luis!??Vegetarian options: They had an entire section on the menu dedicated to vegetarian options.“

“The vibes: immaculate. The food: delectable. The wines: mouthwatering. The cocktails: fiendishly good. The service: warm like family. Bellacosa is a treasure and a gem with full marks across the board. Go with a big group and taste all the tapas, get the cheese board, share bottle of excellent wine, and split as many of the taste desserts as you can. Go with a friend you need to catch up with and talk and talk while you eat a handful of tapas and sip wine by the glass (by the bottle or the glass, the wine selection is distinctly superb). Go on a date for a romantic evening of staring into each other’s eyes while gentle jazz or funky beats plays not too loud and not too soft. Every aspect of the menu, the cocktails, the wines, and the space itself is crafted with thoughtfulness and intentionality. These are people who want to provide an elite level of service and they DELIVER. Go at any point of the year for a lovely time!“

“I absolutely love the energy/vibe in this place! Music and food was great! The drinks were absolutely delicious and the customer service was spectacular. All the employees were great! Shout out to Darren, Mauricio and Melissa and the kitchen staff they made my night and the experience so amazing that I can't wait to go back. If I lived closer, this would definitely be my after-work spot. I'm looking forward to going there again.“

“After 4 days in New York with 2 children we finally found a place to eat well. The owner Andrea was very kind in meeting our needs, you can see that he loves his job. Highly recommended place for those who want to eat well a stone's throw from Time Square.“

“My friends and I stopped here for breakfast and we loved it. I had the avocado toast and it was delicious. The latte with almond milk was fantastic. The restaurant is clean, the service was excellent.Vegetarian options: The avocado toast was vegetarian or with the option to have it vegan.Kid-friendliness: The service is excellent.“

“I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant. This was our second time here and it has quickly become one of our goto places in Astoria. From the greeting at the door to the selection of great wine and cocktails- all unique because the are craft brews- to the staff answering our many questions about the very different and delicious menu to the quality of the food- an awesome experience. Last week we were there and enjoyed live jazz and the musicians mingled and talked with us. The decor is very comfortable. Looking forward to attending the special event nights, too. See you next week- if not before!!“

“I have to say that I was so pleasantly surprised at how great the service was at this very popular wine bar. We went in on a Friday night before seeing a play across the street. The staff could not have been nicer, very helpful with our selections and very professional. The manager even remembered us after we stopped back in after the play. The wine selections are nicely curated and the food is delicious. Will definitely stop back again.“

“This is the second time that we have eaten at this gem near the theater district. We were there for lunch. We each had sangria, I had the seafood paella and my wife had a shrimp burrito. Great food, friendly service and very reasonable pricing“

“best tapas outside of spain, and fair prices for the quality and taste, freshness too.used to be on 19st pre pandemic this location is beautiful. staff very friendly. we’ve been all over, to thousands of restaurants in the city and this is one of our favorites.Kid-friendliness: lots of families and lots of space“

“Don’t let the outside fool you, always walked past but the inside has a whole different atmosphere. It’s rather lovely and reminds me of France/Italy, fresh flowers and staff is amazing! Not to mention how amazing the food is! Some of the best food in Astoria, heaven for vegetarians. I’m not even vegetarian and the Charred broccoli panini is one of the best things and I’m not even vegetarian. Must try in Astoria“

“Such a beautiful space, delicious tapas, warm staff, great wine selection, clean and the prices a great! Great space fir meetings, lunch, dinner, … Did I mention they have a nice Happy Hour!? Yes they do! I have recommended it and will definitely revisit“

“Greywind was, for us, everything its reputation anticipated. A lively and comfortable place with very attentive servers. Our waiter, Rob, was both incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and incredibly funny the entire night! Plus, we had a birthday in our party and the chocolate writing is quite possibly the most precise and beautiful food writing I have witnessed. I think it speaks somewhat to the expertise in their kitchen.“

“A different venture from your regular Dykman experience. It is an intimate, sophisticated culinary experience inspired by owner Felix Abarca's birthplace Ecuador. Fusing rich flavors found in Ecuadorian cuisine with its food and beverage program they offer an experience in the shape of a glass or plate.Staff is always inviting and on point. Place is always immaculate and organized. Live music on the weekends by local artist or even the bartender "extrangero music" is always of great taste and not too loud.Pop-up and collaborations with chefs or bartenders happen regularly.The amazing wine list is unique and curated by a great connoisseur and wine enthusiast, the owner Felix.The coziness of this place is what makes it even more special.“

“Several things I’d recommend about THE PURPLE TONGUE. 1) The unique wide selection of rare wines. The owner Peter spent a lot of time in Asia & SE Asia & Europe. He totally understands great wines. 2) the best baked salmon in the Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood & I’m a salmon lover. 3) the relaxing atmosphere of his indoor & outdoor seating space. And even outdoors the massive plants section off the eatery and the sidewalk for privacy 4) last but not least the great jazz & blues entertainment which sometimes features vocalist for your listening & enjoyment pleasure“

“Cello is a cozy spot with a decent selection of drinks (beer, wine, spirits) and small plates. The interior is really charming, with wood and exposed brick making it feel more like a relative's home than a bar in midtown Manhattan. There's bar seating, and a few small tables. Overall not many seats, expect a wait if you try to come at peak times. Drinks were fine -- good beer selection and a list of cocktails that was balanced, without being overwhelming. Service was excellent, the bartenders were very friendly. Definitely worth a visit for a more intimate get together or a date!“

“This cozy spot stole our hearts with its chill vibes, perfect for both date nights and gatherings with friends. ✨ The music sets the mood, and the bar seems like the place to be next time for an even livelier atmosphere.Food: The Kalifornia, Shrimp hand rolls, and Fish + Chips Takos were absolute winners - fresh, flavorful, and left us wanting more. The pork dumplings were decent, but we've had better. The Oyster Mushrooms, although tasty, were a bit heavy on the batter.Drinks : The Suntory beer was refreshing, but the Paradise Lost stole the show - a tropical explosion that balanced sweet, smoky, and spicy notes perfectly. Highly recommend it!Overall, a charming spot with great potential. We'll definitely be back to explore the menu and bar scene further!“

“My husband and I have eaten here twice: both times we’ve enjoyed delicious pizza, pasta, wine, coffee, and desserts. The staff are attentive and kind without hovering. Most recently, a couple and their young son were having dinner too. Beebe’s is a great choice for so many different people and families.“

“I love love love this place. Best steak tacos around!! Caesar is an amazing bartender! Keeps my glass full and cold! ❤️Whether it’s a hard day or a great day I always leave this place smiling ?Catch us here for amazing taco Tuesdays ?“

“Wife and I flew into JFK late one Friday. We were famished , it was 1030 by the time we got to Arthur Ave.. We parked and walked , came upon people eating alfresco. We asked if any place was still serving. The "MAN" Vic asked what we would like, from one of the tables. In no time we had a bottle of Vino Tinto in front of us and people were making us try food they were dining on. I felt like I was at my friends ,' THE PIAZZAS " house. The food was excellent and the people better. Can not wait to go back !“

“Great food as usual and good service too. Our only issue was that it was quite chilly where we were seated (toward the back) which got much worse when ceiling fans directly above us started blowing. I had to put my coat on. When we mentioned this to a staff member, he said nothing could be done -- the fans come on automatically when more people arrive and they eventually turn off. We waited a bit for them to turn off, then gave up and left earlier than we would have otherwise because it was so uncomfortable. The front of the restaurant was much warmer.“

“My family and I stopped here for a quick dinner late Thursday. The ambiance was fun, with a wide variety of music and happy patrons laughing throughout the restaurant. Although the music was a tad loud for regular volume conversations, we enjoyed it overall. The food was enjoyable and the service was amazing! We had a very attentive server and the manager was kind enough to check on us during our meal.Thank you“

“There is not much variety of food, the atmosphere is good but there is no place to give celebration surprises, I didn't like that. I went to celebrate my first year anniversary and I couldn't give the surprise because they didn't do that there. That's what I liked. I'm quite disappointed.“

“I’m not usually the biggest fan of ramen but the miso ramen was sooo good! genuinely the best ramen i’ve ever had. the staff was very nice and made sure i knew what kind of meat was in my dish before ordering. i work nearby and will definitely return soon!“

“Food absolutely delicious! Healthy and super tasty. Variety of spreads, some recipes I been brought home.Also I like that you can add to your salad any protein - meat, fish, octopus.So I had I believe the best octopus option in the city - salad with grilled octopus, extremely tasty and satisfying.Cozy atmosphere for family dinner, friendly serviceHighly recommended, better to do reservations“

“Pleasantly surprised, I went with my family to celebrate my parents 33rd wedding anniversary and we loved it! Service was exceptional and the food was delicious, perfectly seasoned and we thought the variety was good. I would choose this over the “nicer” looking chain Brazilian stakes house at the mall any day. Special thanks to our waiter, the older gentleman passing the meats (forgot his name but he was so sweet) and Jonatan also passing meats were very attentive the made our time even more special!“

“Perch is a cocktail bar that I've had on my list to visit for a while and I'm so glad I finally got the opportunity to try it. Coming in the bar is fairly small. There's only bar seating available so not the best place to bring a group. I came with my partner on a random weekday night around 7pm and there were only two seats left so def plan accordingly. Perch does not take reservations so visiting during off hours will give you the best opportunity to find a seat :) My partner and I ended up ordering the Mambo Siciliano and the Luna de Miel cocktails, respectively. Both were delicious but if I had to choose a favorite it would be the Luna de Miel. It was smooth, not too sweet, and well balanced. For food we ended up ordering the longaniza croquettes, smashed fingerling potatoes, and the lamb meatballs. All 10/10 with a slight edge to the croquettes for my fave. We also ordered the NY strip which was flavorful and tender but ended up coming out a lot more rare than what we asked for. All in all a really strong cocktail bar choice that I can't wait to add more into my rotation!“

“Had a cute date here with my partner after wanting to try this place for a long time. I’m from spain and I thought the food was great actually! We got the setas, pulpo, and paella de mariscos. All of the seafood was tasty and cooked really well. Definitely will return.“

“Our waiter Tony was awesome and super attentive. Very fun vibe here and the food was delicious. Got a variety of stuff, ramen, sushi, dumplings, all super good. Would definitely come back!Dietary restrictions: It's a nut free restaurant“

“Definitely one of my favorite yakitori spots. This place can get packed at night although the wait usually moves pretty quickly, it can be long if your timing is unlucky. I really only ever get yakitori here. They have a lot of fried options, I gave a lot of them a try, but never really liked any of them (and I generally like fried food, who doesn't?!?) maybe I am just more familiar with the traditional grilled yakitori, I would recommend sticking mostly with that. I can't say which item is my favorite, I really like everything! Definitely ask for extra lemon wedges, the acid really goes well with the smokiness of the meats. Can't wait to come back again!“

“My friends & I went to Vinoteca last week and had such a wonderful time. The wine is very refreshing & delicious!! I love the fact that it’s self-served. To top it off, the food was out of this world!!! The staff was very kind & attentive and I would recommend Vinoteca to all, but, most importantly to all the wine lovers. You would soon make this your to go to place. We had such a great time last week, we will be doing it again this weekend. Come along, hopefully I’ll see you there!!“

“Great place for unique South African foods and wines. The selection is amazing and the food ringle your taste buds but the final check can be quite pricy even if you order just 1 drink and 1 main. The place also gets very loud by the evening“

“Cannot recommend this place highly enough, the food was both delicious and creative, the staff was so unbelievably fun and kind and generous, and the energy inside was all good vibes all the time, come come come! It's places like this that bring life to the city!“

“This place is the quintessential Mediterranean restaurant. The food is fresh, light and delicious. Just went from brunch and they had live music, and the service was excellent as well. The wait staff is very professional and attentive. Do yourself a favor and order the The Turkish Breakfast plate to get a great taste of the region. Definitely coming back!“

“We LOVO Boro6! It is out Friday night spot (but make sure you grab a reservation!). The staff are super friendly and always attentive. The food is always great — and the bread — I would just eat the bread and be happy! We need more places like this around Westchester! I hope they expand soon.“

“Before walking in, I knew I wanted hummus and a Mediterranean salad.After searching the menu, I picked just that. I got the chicken kebab and it was delicious. I arrived for lunchtime, there was no wait and the food came quickly. I may come back. The waitress was also really nice. Great day in the city with great food! I paired my meal with sparkling water. So delish!“

“One of my favorite places in NYC.Food, Service and Ambience are always amazing here.Live music from local artist Thursday to Sunday.The secret to the success of this establishment is the staff. They are hard working, attentive, and always make you feel welcomed, like family. Bartenders usually know what you are drinking when you come back the 3rd time and are always quick to serve, even when there is no space at the bar. In the kitchen is the matriarch, Mama Henry, the Owners mother. She makes every sauces, flan, beans, and many more items from scratch.Happy Hours are from open to 7:00PM on weekdays, their sangria, margaritas are strong and on point and come in many fresh fruit flavors.Some must haves on the tapas are the empanadas, mofonguitos, pulpo, tostones and chorizo, bacon wrapped dates, canastitas de bacalao, for mains the churrasco, paella and salmon are amazing.I used to bartend here for 6 years and I never once was tired of the food, this place is like family to me.Truly a neighborhood gem.“

“STOP what you are doing, GO to Bar Dalia, order a drink and then ORDER the crab cakes. DO NOT risk living the rest of your life without trying them. After that I ordered the chicharrone to go. It was all the bomb dot com. Thank you BD I love you! ?“

“A solid neighborhood spot with good ambiance, friendly service, and a proper pour of Guinness. Can't really ask for much more than that (aside from food, but they're working on getting their kitchen up and running). This is a fine joint to drop in and spend some time in - kudos to the proprietors.“

“We had a great dinner for 6 on a cold Saturday night in the city. The ambiance was upscale, quiet, and relaxing. The waitstaff was very accommodating and friendly, even though we were fairly late for our reservation. The food was excellent and everyone enjoyed their meals. I felt like the portions were large! Our server had a good sense of humor, even though several of us requested modifications to our meals. I would come back here again!“

“Blast from the past Spanish style restaurant with stone and tiles and wrought iron trim that evokes old Madrid. Tapas are serious eating here, as the crowd of locals will testify. Croquettas are creamy and full of ham, delicious olives, yummy crab cake, cheeses, Iberico pork, paellas. Their large menu has many options and hearty portions. Fun night out for your taste buds...“

“My boyfriend loves red snapper so I am consistently seeking places that serve it - on the bone where possible. We just so happened to be in the area when I found it on the menu. Went once and now regularly drive an hour just to come here for the red snapper and Pollo al ajillo which is my favorite (huge garlic fan). I want to explore other items on the menu but I can't because I absolutely love that dish. The happy hour during the week is also fantastic, he drives and I indulge in mojitos, which is a huge win for me. The happy hour apps are great too! We've tried them all.“

“I was visiting a friend in the area and we decided to stop by for food and drinks, our waiter was the mustache guy, he was so nice and attentive and suggested the most delicious tapas and cocktails, I really enjoyed the potatoes bravas, the sprouts and grilled octopus, as for drinks we were recommended the margaritas(yummy) and sangria, we had an excellent evening, thank you mustache guy, we will be coming back soon!“

“We went for the Flamenco show and received a call that we should change our reservation to earlier so we were eating during the show. Great advice! Our server was not the best, but the food and the show made that a minor issue. It was a Prix Fixe dinner, but had a wide range of selections for Appetizers, Entree and Dessert. The food was delicious. The bright & lemony seafood salad with avocado and Veal Madrid were perfection. The Flamenco show was amazing. The performers were true professionals and engaged the audience. We left very happy!“

“I had a birthday party there on Saturday night, November 4. 50 of my closest friends and family were there and raved about everything. The food is out of this world. If you haven’t dined there, do yourself a favor and get there as quickly as you can. Danny runs a very welcoming place for people to gather and share stories. JoJo and Ryan behind the bar are so friendly and accommodating and last night the Koverups played, which just was the icing on the cake. Fabulous band! Will go Back. Danny, thank you for everything, best party where the memories will remain with me forever.❤️❤️❤️❤️“
