32 Best Greek Restaurants near Newark

“This place is located adjacent to Penn Station Newark, right across the street, and can be accessed through an above ground gateway (so you are completely under cover for the entire journey). So, the location is prime if you are in need of waiting for a train. There are seating areas in the restaurant ... as well as a lobby area just a few feet away. And it is relatively quiet compared to the hustle and bustle of the train station.

On to the food ... quite good. I went for the Chicken Gyro. I happen to get it as it was freshly carved off the spit. Yum! I paired it with some fries and a soda. Exactly what I wanted. And then, as mentioned previously, a comfortable place to sit and wait for my train.“

“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 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.“

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

“I went there with my wife this evening and it was a great experience. We had delivery a couple of times, but eating at the restaurant was so much better. We were greeted with a big smile by Demi and she took great care of us. We had the large Meze appetizer and the small Mixed Grill and it was perfect. We had plenty to take home for Super Bowl snacks. We had a nice chat with Demi and she gave us a complimentary dessert of their homemade ice cream. The flavors were baklava and walnut. They were delicious. I highly recommend eating there. Thank you so much Demi for a great experience.“

“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.“

“Our first time here. The food was fantastic. The atmosphere was great. The service needed a little help. After we were served dinner it went down hill. They needed one more person on the floor and they would have been good. We will be back.“

“A lot of delicious food and excellent service“

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

“We had an excellent experience at It’s Greek To Me in Fort Lee. The food was outstanding from start to finish. One of the biggest surprises was the bean soup it’s not ordered often (according to our server), but it was absolutely delicious and something totally new for us. Everything else was just as good: the fried zucchini croquettes, calamari, feta puffs with sriracha honey, Greek salad, NY strip steak, and the grilled seafood platter with shrimp, calamari, and octopus. For dessert, the baklava was classic and perfect, and the Greek yogurt with honey and walnuts was incredible.
The service truly stood out. Benny took amazing care of us and made the entire experience even better attentive, kind, and professional. Parking is available, which is a huge plus in Fort Lee. We would 100% come back and highly recommend this restaurant.“

“A great spot with fresh and delicious food. Attentive staff. Great for delivery but my gal and I love to go there and enjoy the cozy little dining room. 5 stars.“

“My family frequently orders breakfast delivery from Oscars. Their food is delicious with generous portions and delivery is always quick. Our favorites are the French toast, omelettes and Taylor ham cheese and egg sandwich. Their French toast is especially yummy. Better than any other breakfast place I’ve tried. I’ve also ordered lunch, and our favorites are the chicken fingers and turkey burger. The chicken fingers are large and juicy. Their wings are also good.“

“Best gyros that you can find on Staten Island!“

“Food - 3 ⭐️
Service - 4 ⭐️
Atmosphere- 5 ⭐️

Fries cooked perfectly, lamb/beef gyros good portion, falafels were awful. Fries & gyro both lacked FLAVOR/seasoning, falafel must be a basic frozen brand and I tossed them after eating only one. The price point is worth stopping in to decide for yourself because we all understand food is different for each individual. What I’m used to is more flavor forward but this worked for a quick bite before headed to the airport for my flight home.“

“I’ve been eating here for almost 10 years. The food is OUT OF THIS WORLD. People use the word butter milk pancakes loosely. Theirs really taste like butter milk. Everything is good. Same chef for years. My only complaint is, They never open on time, they’ve actually been closed for a while with no notice. Shame because me and my girlfriend are from out of town and waited outside for almost 2 hours. If they correct punctuality, I would give it five out of five stars because the food is phenomenal.“

“Authentic Greek Food! Great Service! Love the homemade desserts♥️♥️♥️“

“A perfect balance of taste and atmosphere which makes it our favorite spot for client lunches and team dinners.“

“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!“

“Good food.. priced right !“

“Great Spinach pie and quality baked goods, Have become a regular customer as well.“

“I went to their Grand opening today!!! The food is fresh and tastes delicious!!! Can’t wait to go back, friendly owners, great location and late hours! What more can one ask for!!!!“

“Always excellent four stars!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Had a really lovely visit today to Pappardello. We’ve been many times, but today when we arrived, we learned they had a new chef who had recreated the menu. We really enjoyed the brunch style items they added (my husband had Florentine Benedict and I had the French toast) and Chef Alexander brought out tastes of a few other new dishes for us. It’s clear he’s very committed and passionate to his work, and we are excited to enjoy the new version of Pappardello!“

“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.“

“We’ve always been happy with the Turkish food in this friendly place, but this Thanksgiving discovered that they also offer a turkey dinner on this day. $50 per person for tasty turkey and stuffing, mashed potatoes, special rice, plus pumpkin pie and coffee. Since we no longer want to be bothered at Thanksgiving we will probably return here.“

“Very nice place Delicious food“

“Great gyros. I love the place.“

“Delicious meals, fast courteous service!“
