15 Best Greek Restaurants near Fanwood

“In the 1970s and 1980s I spent 15 summers from June to August in Greece. This is the most authentic Greek food I've had since I was there. The choices are extensive; the intimate atmosphere is exceptional and best of all the wait staff are friendly, helpful and delightful. The displays of the desserts are mouthwatering. And the Greek coffee is perfect. In this restaurant you are back home in Greece.“

“An opinion only. The food is good. But, they made it clear that they did not value me and my patronage. My sandwich was stuffed with french fries to justify their pricing. The cashier said she asked if I wanted it "Greek style" when she did not. (Not even sure what Greek style" is). And put the wrong sauce on my falafel. They did not like to be made aware of my service issue. They did not value me as a customer, shown by the way they spoke to me, so I will not be going back. That's a shame too. This was maybe my 3rd time ordering. No matter how good the food I can not spend money where I do not feel valued as a customer.“

“Ambeli Greek Taverna is an absolute gem! The food here is exceptional, with every bite bursting with authentic Greek flavors. The service is top-notch, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. And let's talk about the octopus ? – it's truly outstanding, tender, and bursting with flavor, thanks for the recommendation Chris!! A must-visit for any food lover craving a taste of Greece!“

“This honestly was some great food. I’m not gonna lie I be iffy about New Jersey food being from NYC but tbh this was bussin. If you know you know. I’m definitely coming back with my friends, because this is where it’s at! Loved itttt.“

“The food is consistently great, and the server was very helpful. My biggest concern was that service was very rushed between our appetizers and entrees. We were barely there for an hour. Also, the acoustics are terrible in the main dining area. This is a long time issue there and requires some additional investment by the owners.“

“this is Santorini in NJ. the food is amazing, fresh, & huge portions, and delicious as well. I ran across this and just coming back from Greece a few months earlier was very impressed both our dishes (Souvlaki and Moussaki) I highly recommend and feel like there should never be an open parking spot available!!!“

“You get a very good size pita here! About the size of a biiiiig overstuffed burrito. The smoked eggplant in the falafel supreme is soooo good. Crepe was good too, it's one big crepe folded into a square instead of the usual rolls I'm used to. Definitely a share worthy size. Quick and friendly service too :)“

“Love this place! Had a great brunch here with my SIL and our moms last spring. They set up a lovely outdoor patio area under a canopy, so we could enjoy the breeze and not be hit too hard with the sun. Service was excellent and everything was delicious. Looking forward to coming here again:)“

“This place caught my friends today we stopped in and we were so excited and the place did not disappoint everybody was friendly the atmosphere the food was fabulous I love Greek food this is the best Greek food I've had in a long long time my friend and I were plotting when we could go back next it's worth a trip it's worth taking the drive if you don't live close best Gyros!!!!“

“The food is solid. Had a falafel sandwich and hummus. They both were very good. My daughter and son had chicken and beef shawarma sandwiches and enjoyed them. The server was very sweet and kind and took good care of us. We are used to the location in Metuchen which is nicer inside. The seating was rather pedestrian. I think they were having problems with their exhaust, as there was an unpleasant smoke from the grill wafting in the air. Next time, takeout.Vegetarian options: Falafels, salad, hummus and other apps“

“I loved the food. It's very different. It was my first time experiencing Greek culinary. The cheese appetizer was soooo strong but good, the beet salad was great ( except for the goat cheese), the crab cakes i didn't like at all. the main dish was delicious. The desert was the best for me..they are not expensive and its BYOB.“

“Great authentic Greek food bringing the flavors of Greece to New Jersey! Staff are friendly and the food amazing! They also have a terrace outside so you can enjoy when weather permits. As a bonus, they are byob and a there's a small store next to it that sells wine. They also own the Greek pastry shop next door for your Greek pastry fix. Reservations are highly recommended as they are very busy towards the end of the week.“

“This place is my freaking go to for a salmon salad! I order a "caesar" salad with salmon. They give you such a generous piece of fish on top of the salad. I put caesar in quotes because it doesn't taste like your regular caesar dressing - but it still tastes good lol“

“After an average lunch at the Food court of Menlo Park Mall we were looking for a nice coffee place that offered a sit down and good coffee. WE bypassed Starbucks and found this location adjacent. Very polite owner and great coffee sitting on comfortable chairs. Highly recommend as a nice independent location serving excellent coffees and other drinks.“

“Wonderful establishment with delicious rich tasting and hunger satisfying grub which are served in large portions that I couldn't complain. As a doordash driver every time I pick up from here the orders are always ready and the staff is extremely friendly and welcoming. Entering the establishment feels like home. If I could give this place more than 5 stars I would be more than happy to.“
