50 Best Greek Restaurants near Jersey City

“The best Greek food in America and the best service“

“This was our first time here. We tried falafel rice bowl, chicken skewers with fries and chicken soup. The food was fresh, delicious and nice portions. Service was also quick and good. We recommend this neighborhood Greek street food joint.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Came here for Monday lunch. Food was good but not amazing. But the service was very slow. Ordered the standard lunch prefix menu (app, main, dessert) and ended up spending almost 2 hours, mostly in waiting, not what I would expect from lunches.“

“Went on a Friday night without a reservation, grabbed a drink at the bar, and were seated within 10–15 minutes

Food:
• Zucchini chips: Thin, crispy, and lightly salted, golden and addictive. Very close to my all-time favorites.
• Spicy feta dip: Creamy with a balanced heat; rich but not overwhelming.
• Grilled octopus: Surprisingly tender with a subtle char and bright. Not something I usually order, but I’d absolutely get it again.
• Branzino: Moist, flaky, and deeply flavorful, super light
• Rice: Fragrant and savory - unexpectedly excellent.
• Lemon potatoes: perfect with a bold citrus punch.

Service: Warm, attentive, and efficient from start to finish.

A true standout and an easy repeat. Officially added to my list of favorite Greek restaurants.“

“We first heard about Tony’s on Jon Barr’s YouTube channel (prepping for our first NYC visit). Can only say that this is the perfect spot to get food, and then go eat it in Central Park.

Both times we visited the food was great, staff was very friendly & we received our orders within a couple of minutes.

The memorable comment from my girlfriend - “I want to move to NYC because of Tony’s”“

“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.“

“Really enjoyed this place. You can tell they use fresh fish by the taste of their food. It feels like a truly authentic Greek kitchen, not touristy at all. I ordered Branzino and it was super tasty and cooked just right. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff — would happily come back.“

“Been in many Greek restaurants in NYC and this is by far my favorite place. The food is delicious and takes me back to summer vacation in Greece. Definitely going back!!“

“I’ve been eating at Souvlaki GR locations in the city for almost ten years, the exceptional quality of the food, service and atmosphere has been consistent throughout that time. Almost always my first stop in manhattan when I arrive. I hope it’s here forever. There’s nothing better than a lamb souvlaki and a glass of mastiha. Cheers guys! Rock on.“

“Πολυ ωραίο φαγητό και εξαιρετικό το σέρβις“

“The most delicious Greek food! From the hummus to the baklava, it was probably the best food we’ve had outside of Greece itself!!!“

“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.“

“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“

“Jenny treated us with wonderful service. I had walked in to Meraki for and was seated right away. We had the octopus, Greek salad, and shared the meat platter. Everything was cooked to perfection. The baklava was amazing, will definitely coming back to try more.
Definitely one of the most underrated Mediterranean restaurants in Williamsburg.“

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

“We were there in December and came across Symposium while walking. We were impressed by the cozy atmosphere and the amazing service we received. Our server knew a lot about the history of the restaurant and was helpful in suggesting a wine with dinner. The hummus, lemon potatoes and steamed vegetables were all very savory! I highly recommend and we will be back next time in NYC!“

“went here today to celebrate my son in laws mother's birthday. Excellent appetizers, entrées and service. lovely atmosphere, delicious food. highly recommended 👌“

“Amazing lunch and very friendly 😀“

“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.“

“A lot of delicious food and excellent service“

“Very knowledgeable and super friendly staff. I have eaten here several times with family and friends. The food is always fresh and delicious. 😋 Highly recommend!“

“Very friendly staff delicious food.💕“

“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“

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

“Came here on a Saturday at 4 pm . Was pretty dead . Not sure why . The atmosphere, service, food was AMAZING.

Highly recommend this wonderful friendly restaurant to any foodie looking for an exquisite meal . ♥️“

“Magnificent Mediterranean restaurant. The ambiance was very relaxed, cozy and friendly! Our waiter was very patient and gave us great advice !!! We got to choose our fresh fish directly at the fish market inside of the restaurant itself ! Incredible !
The first bite brought me back to Greece and its salty fresh winds.
I will definitely come back !“

“Honestly one of my top 10 meals in NYC. This is proper, proper Greek food, run by Greek people (we are a half Greek family that spends summers in Greece so we know…). Celebrated my birthday here and they made it so special. Wonderful place with an amazing view. They host small and big parties and have a big outdoor section in the summer. We’ll be coming back. A lot! Thank you!“
