50 Best Greek Restaurants near Lodi

“This was my first time yesterday going to jersey gyros. Let me tell you, this was the best gyro I have ever had. The lamb was absolutely amazing. Staff was super nice and I only waited a few mins. Def am going back the next time I'm in that area. So good. You have to try it.“

“Delicious & great service! We loved Esca but this was also v delicious & v healthy. Room is pretty. The bar is not as cozy & stylish as it was in its former iteration but overall we will be back & wish them great success! Great space & option including while in the theatre district, Sony Hall, etc;))“

“The food at Elea is always outstanding, the service this time...not so much. AND, as the people sitting next to us were leaving, the man said "do not order the cheesecake." I didn't ask why he said that but....he clearly didn't like it. Unfortunately, our server was not the best but I guess that's to be expected on a holiday.“

“One of the best dining experiences I've had. Excellent food and service. The chef owner was warm and welcoming. I especially liked the chicken soup on a cold rainy day. And the yogurt was the best. I hope to return soon. Would highly recommend.“

“By now of course this place is a NYC Institution like Da Umberto, Raouls and Il Mulino. They run a good program, and the service is always attentive. The drinks come quickly, and notably the mezze are the star, along with the fresh fish. The whole bronzino is excellent. You can also almost aways get a table short notice, so that's nice too. Go with a smile on your face, and you are liable to leave with a bigger one.“

“I’ve been to Kyma a few times already and I always have a great time . First time I went on a Saturday night with a few friends and we had the time of our lives. The manager, Steve, was really nice and he made sure that we were having a good time. Yiannis, our server, had some great recommendation for food and drinks, but most importantly he was so pleasant and polite. We will def go back again.“

“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!“

“The view from this restaurant is absolutely amazing, offering a breathtaking panorama of Manhattan. They have a big market place to showcase their fresh daily seafood, including a variety of fishes, oysters,scallops, scampi, and Carabineros. The atmosphere is great, and the setting is perfect for socializing. If you don't mind the price, it's also a great place for a date. Scallop sashimi, zucchini stack, carabineros was delicious.“

“This restaurant is exquisite. The atmosphere is very beautiful and calming. The area is nice. The service is very good, servers are very efficient. These servers even ask about any food allergies which shows how dedicated they are to the restaurant environment. The food is very good with lots of flavor.“

“My mom and I have drove past this place for years and kept saying that one day we'll stop by and check it out. We just went yesterday and honestly did not expect the food to be as good as we anticipated. The owners were insanely nice, made the food from scratch, and the entire atmosphere of the place was welcoming. Highly recommend everyone to come here on the regular!“

“Fresh and delicious! I came here based on the Yelp reviews and it did not disappoint. If you're looking for a quick, no-hassle but relatively healthy meal in the city (and you'd like to sit down while eating it) this place is great!“

“Tino's is great but they need to find a better way to stagger reservations so they don't make people wait an unreasonable amount of time (with a reservation), and so that diners don't feel rushed because they're taking up space and people who are waiting to die are on top of them. Food is fantastic, the octopus is a must order. The one tip I'll give is to make a reservation and call 1 hour prior to confirm, and maybe call again to 30mins out to let them know your ETA. Otherwise expect to wait 30mins even with a res“

“I have been a fan of Souvlaki GR for many years . Prices are reasonable and food is excellent. Our favs over the years have been lamb chops, lemon potatoes , meatballs , Greek salad , and of course pita wraps. Today, after our meal, on the way out, I asked them to get me baklava as take out . I got home and I am stunned to see how small the portion is for $12 bucks . I know inflation is hurting everyone but I think this is such a shame . Very disappointed . Nyc restaurants are increasingly becoming obnoxious . Please be better .“

“Lamb chops very tasty with Lemon Potatoes and Vegetables!!!!! Phenomenal!!!! Appetizers were very fresh . Dessert was incredible, we had the Galaktoboureko for the first time ever!!!! Our waiter was very helpful, didn't have to wait long for our food.10/10“

“Phenomenal meal! We were lucky enough to sit in Alicia section and basically just followed her suggestions. The tzatziki, octopus, duck, and baklava were all . We were able to get in and out to catch our train without compromising on a great NYC culinary experience. Looking forward to coming back!“

“I wish there were 10 stars for the review!!! I have never written a review before but this place made me reconsider so here's my first one...Both dine in and take out options are amazing! Delicious food (no matter what we've tried so far), cooked to perfection and full of flavors each time. Everything is fresh (which is very important to me) and made on the spot. Serving is always awesome as well!!!It's definitely worth the trip if you are close (even if you're not) to Bergen County. DO NOT MISS IT!“

“A truly memorable meal...with the exception of one server who was clearly having a bad day, Milos was extraordinary. Every food item from the lowly (but melt in your mouth) grilled Italian bread with family olive oil to a flavor-packed branzino baked in sea salt and the most amazing baklava on the planet, this evening was special. Let's just say the meal held up well with a gorgeous sunset view over the Hudson River.“

“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!“

“All of these old school Gyro shops are closing their doors. Proper Greek gyro on the pit, very fresh, delicious, quick and for a fair price. Worth the trip down from Mahwah now and again. The staff is very friendly and the place is small and very clean.“

“There are so many Greek places to choose from but we always keep coming back! The food is so delicious and everything is so fresh! Oh and the tzatziki is amazing! Also, the takeout bags always have a really cute drawing, our complements to the artist!“

“We recently had the pleasure of hiring Kellari Taverna for a catering event hosted by Philoptochos, serving the Hellenic College Holy Cross 2024 Seminarians, and it was an absolute delight from start to finish. The team at Kellari Taverna crafted a perfect Lenten menu that left our guests raving about the flavors and quality of the dishes.From the tender calamari to the assortment of delectable dips, succulent shrimp, perfectly cooked fish, refreshing salad, savory potatoes, and indulgent desserts, every item on the menu was executed flawlessly. The attention to detail in each dish truly showcased the culinary expertise of the Kellari Taverna team.Moreover, the staff that attended the event were incredibly attentive, ensuring that every guest had everything they needed, from food to drinks. Their professionalism and hospitality added an extra layer of enjoyment to the evening, making our event run seamlessly.Overall, we cannot recommend Kellari Taverna highly enough for their exceptional catering services. If you're looking for delicious food, impeccable service, and a memorable dining experience, look no further than Kellari Taverna. We look forward to working with them again in the future.“

“We ordered one Mediterranean veggie pita, which was very good, but it had too much dressing for my taste. It felt like eating a Mediterranean salad in a pita ? We also ordered the beef gyro, but when we arrived at Central Park to eat, we realized we got lamb instead of beef. Nevertheless, it was absolutely delicious. We would have preferred more tzatziki though on the gyro. Would definitely come back!“

“We had just flown in and needed something before heading to a Colbert taping. We had no expectations, but absolutely loved the food. Only thing we didn't love was the sausage and only because it was seasoned in a way that wasn't for us. All of the other meats, sides and sauces were seasoned perfectly, tender, and delicious.“

“We held my wife’s baby shower at this restaurant, and we have ordered from here on multiple occasions. First, the food is phenomenal. From the chicken kebab to the falafel, all of the food is fresh, and seasoned and cooked to perfection.Nora and her team essentially treat the entire restaurant, including patrons, as family. They welcome you with warmth and will work with you to do anything your heart desires, within reason. You will feel so close to Nora from the start that you will likely give her a hug before you leave.The baby shower was a complete success- the restaurant is beautiful without being too much of a spectacle- and even has a tuned piano, which allowed us to have live background music for the event.My wife had a wonderful day, and it was made possible by Nora and all of the great staff at The Bosphorus!Dietary restrictions: Vegan and GF friendlyKid-friendliness: We had 5 kids at the event so they made them chicken fingers and fries to be safe!Wheelchair accessibility: First floor, double door- we had someone in a wide wheelchair. They even walked with the person in the wheelchair holding an umbrella for her!“

“I tried EFI’s today from just passing by without looking at any reviews/ knowledge about the place i was PLEASANTLY surprised on the food! I got 2 lamb gyros and spanakopita to go. The lamb meat was GOOD but I got some nasty hard pieces. But, after getting rid of the pieces the gyros were great STUFFED with fries and I Loved it! I would 100% go back but i would personally try the chicken instead. The spanakopita was great and enough to share between two!“

“For a fast early Sunday dinner, I joined a friend at Souvlaki GR Midtown. At 5pm on a Sunday, the establishment only had a few occupied tables, so we received seating immediately. We decided to share the Lamb Shank ($30), Octopadi Stifado ($29), and 2x Chicken Skewers ($5.75 ea). Both the skewers and the Octopadi Stifado came served with pita. The lamb shank, described in the menu as "slow cooked lamb shank with orzo in tomato sauce", arrived just shy of fall-off-the-bone tender, bathed in a savory tomato sauce that soaked into the orzo. I used the pita to full effect in order to soak up every last drop of sauce. The Octopadi Stifado, an octopus stew w/caramelized onions in tomato sauce, had an even more savory tomato sauce, mixed with olive oil that carried the octopus flavor everywhere. Once again, the pita proved useful. The chicken skewers, with decent juice and char, proved irresistible. The pita arrived warm and fluffy. None of that dense brick nonsense that seems ubiquitous. Service proved fast. Dinner from seating to the check took 45 minutes.“

“We had our baby's first birthday party / Korean dohljanchi at Mado and it could not have been more perfect. Aret and everyone at the restaurant were so wonderful to work with. They were happy to work with my requests and made party planning so easy. The space was the perfect size with ample parking for our guests. The food was amazing and everyone raved about the pillowy bread, dips, and entrees. Highly recommend it whether it's for a family meal or event. (Photos by Lisi Halabi Photography)“

“Gang of three had a wonderful lunch at Anassa Taverna a few weeks ago, so when a dear friend came to town this was the place to go, along with my guy. Turns out he's had several happy meals here, branzino his fave. So much for a surprise! I love the grotto-like entry leading to a lavish display of fresh veggies, so inviting. Window table makes great street viewing and the noise level was cheerful, like the friendly waitstaff. Good bread and excellent tahini started us, decent white wine and spicy Virgin Mary for me. The prix-fixe is a great option...slightly smaller portions of what I would have ordered anyway: Avgolemono soup was among the best I've had, full of rice, fresh herbs and perfectly balanced; ground lamb kebabs, delightfully garlicky and deeply lamb-y (not so easy to get nowadays), accompanied by yummy herbed fries, tsaziki and excellent salad; then two tiny but delicious baklava pillows. Branzino and chicken breast also graced the table, and a hugely aromatic raspberry sorbet. We schmoozed, and were left undisturbed - truly a blessing.“

“My second time there in a week. Mykonian House did not disappoint. Our party of 4 had a great time. Food quantity was ample, service was top notch, we were not rushed, and our waitress Eleni was very pleasant and helpful in recommending dishes. Manager Greg works hard to ensure a positive experience for guests. They succeeded on both of my visits.“

“We had lunch here for the first time as a family of 4. The food was very good, clean and hygienic, the attitude was also very good, my daughter even ate 2 large pork chops by herself. The children clamored to come back. I like this restaurant very much.“

“Best Mediterranean food experience, such a delicious food really like the octopus and salmon everything so tasty and fresh. Like the service waiters are so friendly and professional. Highly recommend for who is looking unforgettable food experience.“

“This restaurant is amazing! We found the restaurant and seen they had great reviews through google. We hosted a family feast here, we had music, great food and great enviornment.The food is amazing, the atmosphere is great, the people are wonderful! Sandra is such a nice person, she waited on us at our family feast, she was so loving and caring and really made sure to cater to us and made us feel at home. The owner is an amazing guy, he worked with us to make sure we got all that we wanted from the menu, all the food was well cooked and fresh.I highly suggest this restaurant for any family events, parties or just a day out for lunch or dinner.Thank you so much! God bless you! May you continue to grow and succeed!“

“Loved the atmosphere, bright, clean euro modern, staff was very happy to help and adjust entree as needed. We ordered their lunch special which had several choices of main dish, appetizer, an dessert. Two glasses of wine each, given the quality and the experience, i am giving this 5 stars. So nice to finally find a place thats in mid town and is clean with excellent and authentic Greek food! Highly recommend and will be back!Dietary restrictions: Very happy to adjust entree as needed.“

“This is a great little Cafe. I walked in, place was clean, decor was awesome, staff were smiling and friendly. I got the vegan gyro bowl, and it was really good. It was packed with gyro and rice, i actually got lunch and dinner out of it. Sometimes plant based food in general has a weird taste, however, Pita Bowl's was great. This is my new spot for vegetarian eats.“

“Lokal was an absolute delight! We'd had a long day (with three kids) at the museum and needed to have a break with good eats. Not only did Lokal provide that but it was all better than imagined. We had the stuffed red peppers (our favorite dish) it was so refreshing with the lemon yogurt. We had hummus which paired fantastic with their house bread. The kids got chicken tenders and pizza. They loved it and we loved sneaking bites. I had the avocado tomato salad with grilled salmon: wow! A delight! So fresh and filling! My husband had the lamb burger with feta cheese. He devoured it. We all shared some baklava and the grownups a delicious cup of espresso. If we weren't leaving NYC, we'd totally return for *several* more meals. Perfect staff deserves a shout out as well.“

“Food is delicious here, always fresh and in good quantity, however prices have continued to go up since I first started going there and also with ordering takeout/delivery. Sometimes just ordering a Greek salad and a gyro, when all is said and done it's nearing $50. I know prices are up everywhere, but some things don't warrant such a jump in price. And definitely shouldn't stay at that price for the long term. Hoping prices will come down as food prices begin to improve.“

“The service is excellent and the food is top quality, particularly the egg omelette with spinach, wow!! I will return very soon. The owner is a great host. But there is a lady who is too lazy to even talk, just that small detail, otherwise I highly recommend it♥“

“The pita wraps and greek salad are fantastic! Super fresh and flavourful. I’ve eaten at many great Greek restaurants but the gyros here are some of my favourite. Great service too. We usually do takeout so can’t comment on the atmosphere but one time we’ll try dining in.“

“What an amazing place! Friendly and nice location. Their cookies and Spanakopita are fresh and taste straight out of the oven. Soft, fresh and full of flavor! After becoming extremely sick and hospitalized early this year from visiting Zai’s Dessertery in Bergenfield and forcing myself to eat disgusting, stone hard, and sugar packed desserts, due to not being able to get my money back from the cashier, Athens Bakery has been a great find for sure. Thank you Athens Bakery for being great to your customers!“

“Can’t write enough positives about Milo’s! As soon as we walked into there last night, we experienced a welcoming vibe. The food was fresh & fabulous, the decor minimalistic & organic & the ambiance palpable . However, I would like to recognize & commend Marina & Fotis in charge of the bar. Marina multitasks by interacting with the waiters, making drinks while talking to us! She is a natural who is sincerely interested in pleasing everyone at the bar. Just professional & very likeable! Fotis is also talented & explained the mechanics of running a popular bar. He is personable with a beautiful smile! They seemlessly work together & make it look easy! We love going to Milos & highly recommend it! Can’t wait to revisit Milos & both of them! It is our new favorite place! Thank you!!! Pat C“

“Great vegetarian options, clean place with healthy food that isn't too expensive... and in one of the busiest areas of town... can't go wrong!Vegetarian options: All the potatoes, chick peas, olives, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc are really fresh. The falafel is good too“

“Fabulous food and ambiance. Loved the private tables in the back! Had a lovely, quiet meal for 6 people and could actually hear each other. Highly recommend! Large portions. Easy to share, esp the souvlaki minis as apps. The Pasta Santorini with the zucchini spirals was excellent. Prompt, attentive, and friendly service. Put sparklers in our birthday cake! Very fun!“

“Simply exquisite. Stumbled upon this gem almost by accident. I had Googled Mediterranean near me, to find Nerai was only 3 blocks away. I was a bit apprehensive that we’d be able to find a table on a Saturday night without a reservation, but the happily accommodated our party of four. My simple review will not do this place justice. The dishes were beautiful and delicious. In addition, the service was excellent.“

“I ordered a very large delivery for an office luncheon. My coworkers are very difficult to please, and they all loved this food. The delivery driver was named Thanasis and he was the best. He called ahead of time and asked if we needed anything to keep the food warm. Then he set up all of the food for us and even gave us some tips on the best way to eat the food. Definitely will be ordering again.“

“I am regular patron and always love the food, service, ambience especially for my clients. This time around, we had a group of 8 but felt all crammed and boxed in. Couple of guests could not even get out of their seats without others getting up. Music was a bit too loud on the evening and hard to have a conversation across the table!“

“Their stuff is off the HOOK! I've been getting mostly chicken and pork sticks either on a platter or as a sandwich, and they's always been great, for some reason I hadn't tried the Lamb until today, OMG, one of th best Gyros I've ever had. The only complaint I have is if you get there at the wrong time the line gets pretty long, but that's just a testament as to how good their stuff really is! Keep up the great work!“

“Recently, my wife and I discovered Symposium, a hidden gem in North Manhattan, while driving home. Its Greek sign beckoned us into an experience reminiscent of the cozy taverns in Athens, where entering feels like stepping into a secret cave or basement. Celebrating Greece’s Independence Day and the Feast of the Annunciation on March 25th, we were delighted by the traditional dishes that paid homage to these significant events, much like the celebrations back home in Greece.The highlight of our meal was the cod with garlic spread (μπακαλιάρο σκορδαλιά), a signature dish for the day, embodying the essence of Greek tradition. Our feast also included crispy octopus, kalamarakia, French fries sprinkled with feta, shrimp saganaki, a refreshing Greek salad, authentic Greek coffee, portokalopita, and the sublime galaktoboureko. Each dish transported us to Greece with its authentic flavors, as if homemade.Accompanied by a “Savvatiano” crisp, cold white Greek wine, served in an ice bucket to maintain its chill, the dining experience was elevated. The staff’s politeness and hospitality added to the warmth of the evening, and the generous aperitif of Samos wine from the manager before our departure was a gracious touch.Symposium stands out not just for its genuine Greek cuisine but also for being the sole authentic Greek restaurant above 110th Street in North Manhattan, making it a perfect choice for our family. We are grateful for the memorable evening and look forward to returning. Thank you, Symposium, for a wonderful dining experience. Until next time.“

“I've been to this bakery at least 100+ times. This is the real deal in every way. Now for those people that have never worked in a bakery you cannot fully understand how difficult it is.The food and deserts here are top notch. I will say sometimes the service may seem lacking but I Can assure you it's not personal. They are exhausted from all the hard work that goes into putting out this great product.Please know you will not get better Greek baked goods in NYC!I approve this message.Helen Thorne“

“I picked my food yesterday at restaurant while i waited for it, the lady (anastasia) enlightened me more about the menu and the food. She was great and friendly!!! definitely at place that i will be back for food and the for the great customer service.“

“Been here once before and I think it was better this time. They make a great gyro and it is authentic too. Love the french fries in the gyro. All flavors just worked. The spinach pie was good but nothing special. The haloumi appetizer was good too. Being Cypriot I know halloumi well and they did it right. This is a solid spot and I would come back in a heartbeat.“
