50 Best Greek Restaurants near Jersey City

“We love the cheesecake here!! We’ve tried lots of places that offer cheesecake but this place stood out the most. Every time we are craving something this is our go to place and it’s pretty close by as well. A lot of options to choose from and the service is great! Dyvia (not sure if I spelled it right) at the store did a wonderful job too!“

“I ordered home fries with peppers and onions. Scrambled eggs and crispy bacon with a Pepsi. And a toasted blueberry muffin.

All of the above was fresh and delicious.

I would say best in Jersey city

My waitress was Christiana and Sandra who made my stay the absolute best.

Sandra was great and she has an amazing personality.

Christiana was on point and very attentive and polite.

I will definitely return.“

Beautiful place for special celebration! Sophisticated ambience, attentive staff, exceptional service, delicious Greek food! We highly recommend making reservation in advance!“

“Finally! A delicious traditional lamb gyro! These are surprisingly hard to find in Manhattan. I’ve been craving a traditional gyro for a while but didn’t want to drive 1-2 hours roundtrip from Manhattan to Astoria/Queens. This place hit the spot and I would return!“

“Went today for the first time, wonderful staff and the food was incredible. Great size portions, every part of our meal was delicious. Cannot wait to go back again. Well worth the ride from Ramsey. NJ“

“Had a lovely meal to celebrate my 50th birthday, the food was so good and the service was fantastic, I would highly recommend“

“My oh my, what a delicious meal. I have never had better flatbread in my life. The small salad with gyro was more than enough for a meal. And my favorite dessert- Galaktoboureko!!! I’m so happy I had dinner here.“

“Yo!!!! This place is so good. The host or maître D or whatever you wanna call him was like the most gracious person ever! Treated me and this hot girl that I’m currently seeing like we were family. Offered us some free Uzo drinks, which I’ve never had but now I’m throwing back like a bottle a week! Anyway, the food was off the hook. Please, please please don’t even get me started on the riblets!! I probably crushed like four orders spent my whole paycheck. Worth it!“

“Great greek food, very Tasty“

“food was great, everything else is average.
Bad suction system in the restaurant, you smell like kitchen after leaving. The bathrooms were dirty, place overall lacks some energy. Boring atmosphere comparing to the other Mediterranean restaurants in the city. The food was great tho“

“A great place to dine if you like fine Greek cuisine. 👍 Great atmosphere too! Good attentive, service“

“Awesome food presentation and ambiance! A definite “go back to again”!“

“Their lamb/beef gyro was really good. The bowl was stuffed! The wait was a bit long though, almost 25+ minutes just to get to order, and sometimes other people (I assume related) just cut in to throw in 5 or 10 other orders. The food came out very fast at least and I enjoyed my bowl. I see they have an online ordering site, so I may try that next time to reduce the wait. Would love to try the other items.“

“Really enjoyed our evening here! The cocktails were super innovative - they have “beertails” which are cocktails made with beer! We also tried their classic “mini” souvlaki and the 8 hour braised octopus! Our favorite was the Lamb Shank that fell right off the bone - we will definitely be back!“

“Sea Salt is an absolute gem! The food was excellent—every dish was flavorful and beautifully prepared. The ambience was just as impressive, creating the perfect setting for a great meal. Drinks were on point, and the service was attentive and friendly. Everything from start to finish was amazing—I can't wait to go back!“

“Highly recommend. I loved the tomato cucumber salad and branzino which came with lemon potatoes. The house provided complimentary pita and babaganoush. Service was great and very welcoming. There were three other parties there that all spoke Greek which was a great sign. If you are celebrating a birthday, they will bring out sparklers!“

“I tried it and the food is exquisite, I recommend it 100% ✌️🥰“

“The moussaka is the best I have ever had by a landslide and one of my favorite dishes ever. I have ordered it probably 100 times and it never disappoints. The gigantes are scrumptious. Better of either those dishes would not be found in Greece. The atmosphere is simple because this isn't a fancy restaurant, but it is pleasant.“

“A lot of delicious food and excellent service“

“I honestly don’t understand how this place could ever have bad reviews the food at Let’s Go Ya Souvlakia is fresh, delicious, and incredibly authentic! Everything tastes amazing and feels healthy. I especially love the bowls the chicken kabobs are my absolute favorite! I even asked to customize my chicken, and they did it perfectly for me. The staff is super nice and accommodating. You must try the gyro sandwich too absolutely 🤤 I just love this place!“

“I came here for the chicken cheeseburger and fries, and both were really good -fresh, flavorful, and just the kind of comfort food you want. The service was friendly and the place feels cozy, nothing fancy but nice quality. I also tried the baklava since they didn’t have cheesecake that day. It was okay, maybe 6/10, not something I’d order again. But for sure, if you come here, get the chicken cheeseburger with fries , that’s the real highlight“

“Can't go wrong with whatever you choose at Medusa!“

“First time here but will be back again and again. The food the ambiance the staff perfection. you feel like you're in Greece. the saladS are big and delish. 4 of us went and all loved their dishes. highly recommend. New fave. Yes a little pricey but worth it“

“Took my friend here for a belated birthday dinner. First time at Athena for both of us. Everything was superb! Attentive, friendly staff, , affable and gracious host/owner(Teddy), great wine, food, and dessert menus. Food was delicious. We would definitely return to this delightful corner gem in Park Slope!“

“I love Pi I enjoy getting my Greek frappe and other coffees from Pi. The pastries are exceptional and if you want to have lunch, you can also have fantastic Greek dishes. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable of the coffees and food that they serve. I go to Pi every time I’m in that neighborhood.“

“Awesome food presentation and ambiance! A definite “go back to again”!“

“we asked for a delivery yesterday, and it was delicious. particularly recommended the moussaka, and the lamb meatballs (with Lotus of tzatziki 🙂)“

“This place is insane! The vibes and the music is poppin. The food is so good. Everything tasted so fresh. The bar had great drinks and very kind bartenders.

I had to give this a 3/√-star for atmosphere because there are 2 floors with djs. When we went, we had a large bday party so they sat us downstairs where every other large table had a birthday party as well. The classy family style dinner quickly turns into a rave during your meal and it can be jarring for some. You can't hear anything except for the music and so many folks were standing on their chairs waving their dinner napkins in the air. If you love a noisy and lively dinner, this is perfect for you!

“Overall pretty good, but not the best or most authentic Greek food I've eaten. It's okay. The service when we sat was pretty quick with waters. The food itself was okay, flavor is there but not strongly. The Saganaki had goat cheese, which isn't traditionally the case nor was it specified in the menu.

They do need groups to all be there to be seated and don't take reservations. I'd understand if it was amazing food, but it was just okay.“

“Very friendly staff delicious food.💕“

“Overall experience was really good. Servers are really attentive, and they always cater to your needs.
The food itself is phenomenal, love the chicken thigh, the mixed grill is perfect for two or few large groups. Price is reasonable, the food is worth it.
I’ll be back!“

“Meze is a great go-to neighborhood eatery! I've been coming here for 2 years now, and it never disappoints. Every dish is delicious and hearty, so there's no wrong choice. The service and ambiance are also top-tier. Highly recommended!!“

“Came here on a Saturday at 4 pm . Was pretty dead . Not sure why . The atmosphere, service, food was AMAZING. From the octopus appy & feta dip , to all entrees was so delicious, especially the seafood pasta dish . The balaclava was to die for …. Highly recommend this wonderful friendly restaurant to any foodie looking for an exquisite meal . ♥️“

“Had their food for the first time the other day as takeout. Staff was very nice. Food was good. I had the gyro sparta wrap...very good I also tried their rice pudding. It was very good but I think $7 for a cup is pricey. I would go back to try other dishes.“

“Amazing customer service and the food is phenomenal! Authentic Greek cuisine at its finest!! Definitely recommend!“

“Come and check out their lunch specials , Greek gyro , potato fries and a soda . It was delicious and affordable, say hello to George when you visit .“

“This place was fantastic! Over the years I've been here maybe 10 times. I never complain when my friends or family suggest this place to eat for dinner. The waitresses are always a pleasure to deal with. They assist me well when I ask for all my extras and meal modifications. The chef ?‍? in the back is on point. I wish GYRO TOWN long-term success in these challenging economic times

Parking: Paid street parking can be a bit full sometimes, causing me to circle once or twice. I typically never have to walk more than a half a block.“

“I never leave reviews, but this place really impressed me! Pappas New York has incredible Greek food — the lamb chops were tender and full of flavor, and the lobster pasta was absolutely delicious. The atmosphere was great, and the staff went above and beyond. Especially Joni, who took amazing care of our table last Saturday — super attentive, professional and friendly the whole night. Don't want to forget the sparkling guy Jerry, he was amazing. Definitely one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in New York!“

“Good food !!! Nice atmosphere ! Cocktails a must !“

“Chic setting and great food.“

“Mediterranean food is my mother's favorite, and it was the biggest priority for our menu on our trip to NYC. I searched Manhattan for the right place, and Anatoli stood out right away.

We loved this place. The dolmas were just right, the spanakopita just like the kind my mom likes to make, the lobster was delicious, and the moussaka was hearty. The atmosphere was so friendly, and our waitress Ana was kind. We had so many questions about the place, and despite being so busy, Ana made time to answer every one.

We will definitely be back one day. Efcharistó!“

“Delicious food, wine and 5 star amazing service“

“Food is really good! Comparably priced to most of the fast casual restaurants in midtown area. Got the Piato both times, and the potatoes are great as a base. Chicken is crispy and nice, and the Bambi and Greek Salads are fire. Service is really really good too, and personally get a kick out of the door to the basement being covered by the trash can lol.

Def recommend for lunch / dinner!“

“The restaurant is a perfect place to taste Mediterranean cuisine. I would definitely recommend you to go and eat and feel the atmosphere. Also, there are well-packaged products that are beautifully presented for home orders. Definitely try them.“
