50 Best Greek Restaurants near Jersey City

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

“Wow! I wasn’t expecting to like this place this much! But I do! The Chicken Bowl was just delicious! The chicken was flavored beautifully and cooked perfectly! The rice held its ground and the Tzatziki was unbelievable! Thicker than normal but homemade and rich. A little goes further than it looks! And the orange cake was a burst of flavor in my mouth! Like an orange cake from childhood! Well done guys!“

“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!“

“This is a wonderful spot for breakfast which is served all day. We came from Florida for the weekend and I googled some nearby restaurants from our hotel and this place popped up. Food is made to order. Fresh and hot! We ordered the Italian omelette and Western Omelette with homefries. Very delicious and nice size portions too. I have nothing negative to say at all. We definitely will come back if we are ever in Jersey.“

“Delicious! Friendly service.“

“Amazing food! Wonderful service and Chef Marie Loi is a joy! My new “must go when I’m in NY” restaurant!“

“A delicious, warm dining experience! The staff were friendly and the ambience inviting. I also really appreciated that the menu was designed to be shared and the portions were designed exactly for that, when so often they’re either too small or too big. Food itself was delicious — familiar but not reductive. The pillowy bread is a must, I wish I could eat it every day.“

“We would like to thank the Avra Team for the wonderful experience we had celebrating our son's 1 year old birthday and his grandparents 40th wedding anniversary. Beautiful place for special celebration! Sophisticated ambience, attentive staff, exceptional service, delicious Greek food! We highly recommend making reservation in advance!“

“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“

“Paros in Tribeca is my new go-to for modern Greek. The room is bright and stylish,
blue-and-white Cycladic vibes that make you feel like you’ve stepped onto a Greek island, but it’s the food that brings me back. The grilled octopus is charred and tender, the seafood is fresh and clearly imported with care, and the Bronzino with lemon hits that perfect sweet-salty note. Chef George Pagonis knows what he’s doing. Add genuine Greek hospitality and a sharp cocktail program, and it’s a standout. Perfect for date night or a long dinner with friends.“

“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“

“Great greek food, very Tasty“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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”“

“My friend and I had the most gorgeous dinner at Gaia last Tuesday. We ordered a fantastic Piniot Nior followed by Organic chicken and potatoes with a side of spinach. My friend had steak, all cooked perfectly. The restaurant had a warm and welcome atmosphere. Conveniently located next to the hotel we where staying in, the Gregorian.“

“The whole vibe with Greek auntie felt like I was actually in Greece . All that was missing was the Aperol spritz. The food was incredible and while we had to wait to get a table the wait is worth it. Everything is cooked with love and you can tell. I recommend the branzino .“

“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.“

“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!!“

“Hard to see from the street but glad I found it online! I was in town for work and wanted quick, easy, delicious food to take back to my hotel room. This was a perfect choice. Meat skewer, spanakopita, and baklava were all excellent. Really needed that spinach after eating a lot of bagels and cream cheese this week. The dining room was super cozy and the staff kind and courteous. I'd like to go back sometime with friends for dine-in. :)“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Truth is I'm not a big fan of Greek food but hubby is. My dinner was eh, while he said his was OK, not great. The grape leaves were delicious and the baklava was devine. Hubby wanted beer but it was all sold out 2 days ago at Easter and the new delivery was late. He also wanted the rice pudding for dessert but that was also sold out. Service was great and restraunt was clean“

The gyro meat is perfectly seasoned, the portions are generous, and everything tastes like it's made with care. Whether you're stopping in for a quick lunch or a full meal, the quality never disappoints. The staff is friendly, the service is fast, and the prices are more than fair for what you get.
