This restaurant has been temporarily closed for months. My guess is they are out of business and still bound by their lease.

I feel like I want to move next door to this place.From the moment you step into the vibrant streets of downtown Harrison, a delightful culinary adventure awaits at Greekish Restaurant. A gem that's just a stone's throw away from the plush Avalon apartments and a leisurely block from the Harrison Metro-North station. Here, the essence of the Mediterranean is brought to life under the watchful and friendly eye of Nick, the ever-present owner whose warm welcome sets the tone for a remarkable dining experience.The ambiance of the Greekish is immediately inviting, with an immaculate setting that radiates both comfort and class. It's the kind of place where the decor complements the culinary journey, creating a harmonious blend of sight, taste, and aroma.Speaking of aroma, as soon as you enter, your senses are aroused with a bouquet of scents so authentic you might as well be in a seaside taverna in Greece. This aromatic allure is so potent, it even graces the streets outside, teasing each passersby with hints of herbs and spices, as if inviting them on an invisible magic carpet ride straight to the restaurant’s doorstep.The menu at Greekish is a testament to the rich tapestry of Greek cuisine. The beef brisket gyro, a personal highlight, is nothing short of a revelation. Each bite of this gyro is a perfect symphony of flavors, with the brisket so tender and flavorful, it easily claims the title of the best I’ve ever had. The homemade feta cheese, a staple of Greek cuisine, is creamy and crumbly, a true delight for the palate.But the wonders of Greekish don’t stop there. The array of signature dips, including a refreshing cucumber tzatziki and a robust eggplant creation, are perfect starters or accompaniments. For those who adore seafood, the grilled octopus platter is a must-try. Accompanied by jumbo steamed shrimp and the most succulent mussels, it's a dish that transports you straight to the shores of the Aegean Sea.The lamb chops were almost flight over, they are another highlight, each piece cooked to perfection, embodying the true spirit of Greek street food. If you're in the mood for something more familiar yet with a twist, their open-face burgers are a revelation – they've redefined what a burger can be, surpassing any I've tasted in the past five decades.Let’s not forget the sides – Greek oregano fries that are a perfect blend of crispy and flavorful, and chicken wings that are so juicy, they’ll leave you craving for more.In conclusion, Greekish Restaurant is not just a dining venue; it’s a culinary journey that encapsulates the essence of Greece. It’s a place where every dish tells a story, every aroma paints a picture, and every visit leaves you longing for the next. Hats off to Nick and his team for creating a slice of Greek paradise in the heart of Harrison!

My wife and I just got back from Greece and had an urge for a true Greek salad. Not a regular salad with some feta chucked in...which is all we could find...even at a greek "diner." By chance we saw Greek-ish driving through Harrison. Giving it a shot, we found the salad to be amazing...all the ingredients were fresh and crisp. I also tried the hummus dip, amazing as were the two entrees we had. Of course I had to have more than one Mythos beer. So if you're looking for real Greek food that's absolutely delicious in a comfortable atmosphere...definitely no need to get dressed up, you need to try this place. I guarantee you'll go away as happy as my wife and me were.

Parking: Plenty of free parking behind the CVS across the street

It was just ok. We heard a lot of great things and finally tried it. Multiple menu and drink items were unavailable or subbed out.Waiter was uninformed about the menu and the server helping him did not speak English.The manager was very involved and enthusiastic and did his best to overcome the small issues.Appetizers were nice and the dips were great.Mains were fine. Honesty, nothing was wrong… but nothing was excellent.Deserts were sub par. We ordered the baklava and the “molten” chocolate cake.Both were cold and tasted like they came from a box.The manager comped ouzo for the table and we all had a lot of laughs.But at the end of the day, the food was just ok, the drinks were average, and it was not what we were hoping for.It certainly wasn’t worth over $500 for a party of 6.

Absolutely loved this place! The food was amazing and the service was even better. Nicholas and staff were super attentive and even provided a complimentary glass of wine and appetizer. I highly recommend the meatball appetizer and the shrimp entree. This will become a regular for us. We can't wait to go back!

First glance place seems very nice.We were expecting the food to be of equal magnitude, did not expect the gyro chicken to be deep fried rather than the original charcoal grilled. Feta cheese was hard and of cheap quality.Not the creamy high quality Greek feta that we are accustomed to. The biggest upset was that the spinach pie which was supermarket bought reheated and fried again processed product and not homemade as you would expect. The price did not reflect what we ate. It was very expensive and did not have that Meditarian concession in mind. McDonald's quality and Peter Luger prices.

Giving it one star for the server. She did a great job. We arrived at 6:45-7:00pm on a Friday night and the restaurant was dead. We were told that we can sit anywhere, so we chose a table outside that sat four. The manager came over and said we can’t sit there because of a reservation of 4 was coming in to sit there so we moved. Food was actually really bad. The hummus platter was mediocre. I ordered the beef brisket gyro and it was disgusting. Salad that comes with the dish was definitely sitting in the fridge for sometime. The potatoes were microwaved so many times that they were mush. The brisket was just bathing in oil. Food was gross. Avoid coming here.

Great food and great service. Second time ordering from here and didn’t disappoint. Would highly recommend getting the chicken cutlets and the Branzino. Great bunch of guys. Regarding the issue with the wifi, things happen and patience is key. They even threw in some extra stuff which was much appreciated, as well as a gift card. This is your place for some authentic Greek food
