The server forgot we were there. She also charged us for the pita bread. 4 pieces of pita for 12 people really isn’t enough

We have loved this restaurant since it opened. However recently it has declined and I don't think the owner can refute this review as he does others who give a negative review. The menu has shrunk considerably since covid. I used to love getting a delicious order of lahana dolmades. It's not on the menu any longer. I ordered spanokopita for dinner. It was overly salted and COLD on the inside. Unacceptable. We also ordered hummus. This was salty too and had no olive oil or pita brought with it. No olive oil on the top of it either. I've never seen hummus served like that. They've lost customers.

i ordered the pork souvlaki platter for 20 dollars and i only received this much food??? every single other greek place i have been to will at least fill the platter with fries or some lettuce in the greek salad. this portion is so small for the price, it doesn’t even fill the whole plate

Food is good & the waitress I had was phenomenal. However I was there recently & I had overheard the owner (I assume) yelling & berating his staff. It’s incredibly unprofessional to speak to your workers in such a manner. As somebody who’s worked in the service industry for a long time, it’s discouraging to see the staff who work so hard to be spoken down to. My friends who were with me all agreed & it made us uncomfortable. Even so to the extent that we weren’t sure to finish our meal. I hope the owner fixes his attitude. It really brings the atmosphere down.

Very Very Nice ? Greek salad was fresh and delicious Octopus was fresh and delicious ! Dinner was served hot and on time … Our waitress was incredibly nice and appreciative. Thank you for the birthday greetings and dessert. ? 30% tip was well deserved
I recently dined at Pithari Taverna in Highland Park, NJ, and I can't say enough good things about this gem of a Greek restaurant! From the moment I walked in, I was enveloped by a warm and inviting atmosphere, complete with beautiful decor that perfectly captures the essence of a traditional taverna.
Now, let's talk about the food! The Lamb Souvlaki was nothing short of spectacular—perfectly seasoned and grilled to perfection, it was tender and bursting with flavor. The Greek Salad was the ideal complement, fresh and vibrant with crisp vegetables and a delightful dressing that left me wanting more. And if that wasn't enough, the Branzino was the star of the show! Cooked to flaky perfection, it was a true testament to the chef's skill and dedication to quality.
The service at Pithari Taverna was equally impressive. The staff was attentive, friendly, and genuinely passionate about providing a memorable dining experience. They took the time to recommend dishes and ensured that we felt right at home throughout our meal.
Overall, Pithari Taverna exceeds expectations in every aspect—food, service, decor, and vibe. I can't wait to return and try more of their delicious offerings. If you're in Highland Park, this place is an absolute must-visit for anyone craving authentic Greek cuisine!
If you want to go out for Greek food, this place is good, but if you want a meal delivered, I suggest you don’t order from here. Order gets messed up with missing items every time.

Have been there twice and loved everything there.
Parking: They have their own parking lot and but you can do street parking.
I love this place as it is the closest thing to a classic restaurant in santorini. The food is great, portions are plentiful, and the staff was very welcoming.
Parking: Parking is available but it is a small lot behind the restaurant and might be full during their busy hours.
The food is so delicious!! The portions are huge and the owners and staffs are SO KIND!! It was my first time going and I can’t wait to be back!!

Went here for the first time tonight and it was excellent! We were seated right away and food didn't taken long at all. My date and I tried the sampler of dips which I'd highly recommend. Well definitely be going back!
