Came with husband and friends at last minute, this place genuinely exceeded all of our expectations! Our server Anna was very kind and attentive to us, while highly knowledgeable about the menu. Food was amazing, especially the calamari and filet mignon special! The only thing I would have wished to see is a selection of Greek wines. Will be back soon!

Ordered through Uber Eats so I could get ready and eat before going out. Ordering was easy, the food came with time to spare. I had the 1 stick souvlaki (chicken) with the housemade chipotle sauce. I requested no onions. I enjoyed my meal despite there being some onions incorporated in the salad. They were big enough to pick out. I'd definitely order from Greek Taverna again. It's a great healthy yet delicious option.

I lived on an island for over a decade, so I am a bit skeptical to order fish when we go out because I'm always comparing freshness and flavor to the Mediterranean. Since a friend of ours highly recommended for us to get the Branzino, we did. I was mind blown. You cannot compare the quality, freshness and taste to anywhere else. Their potatoes melted in your mouth, and along with everything else was so flavorful and amazingly delicious. The service was on point and ambience reminded me of the taverna's in Cyprus & Greece. I look forward to dining out at the Greek Taverna again. Their food was excellent. Their service was excellent. Their dessert was excellent. Hands-down five ! Absolutely LOVE.

We were blown away by Greek Taverna and highly recommend them for all catering events! Harry was a PHENOMENAL catering partner and will truly take care of you and your guests. My (now) husband and I were planning a welcome party for the night before our wedding, and we were looking for a catering partner to work with. I had been to Greek Taverna several times, and the food and service were always spectacular! We called, were connected with Harry, and knew we were immediately put in good hands. Harry and his team invited us in for an amazing tasting, helped us refine our menu to fit the dietary considerations of every single one of our guests, and they truly went **above and beyond** for the event. The food was delicious, the entire team was so kind, friendly, and helpful, and we can't wait for an excuse to work with them again!

Went for a dinner for my best friend who just retired hosted by his wife It started off a little ruff but they made up for it in a good way She had reserved the back table for the 6 of us but when she got there they had given away the table and she was mad and let them know. Upon hearing this the chef sent over some free appetizers for the table along with the apps we ordered The staff was very nice and attentive always filling up our water glass I orders the fish of the day Bronzino and it was cooked perfectly Everyone seemed to like the food and they did not rush us out after So I willl be back

A cute spot for authentic Greek dishes and one of the few Montclair restaurants with parking! We shared three appetizers - the Pikilia (pita bread with three dips), Kalamarakia Tiganita (fried calamari), and Grilled Haloumi. The Haloumi was delicious! I got the Small Plate Mousaka as my entree - but it is a large serving! This was my first time having Mousaka and it was less gamier than I thought it would be.

Came with my lil bro and his wife as they were visiting the NE :D There is a free parking lot next to the building, so yay. It's so hard to find free parking in Monclair downtown area, hehehe We were here on Monday MLK day. Between lunch and dinner so we had the place to ourselves. The bread they served was delicious! I had 1 piece, and when I reached for another, it was all gone... We were given 8 pieces for 4 people, and it should have been 2 pieces each! LoL GREEK STYLE CHICKEN RISOTTO - I loved it, and I remembered to tell them not to al dente LOL MOUSSAKA - hubby loved it. I thought the potatoes were undercooked... CHICKEN SOUVLAKI with PATATES PSITES STO FOURNO - lil bro loved his meal Chicken Platter - his wife liked her meal as well. The chicken wasn't too dry. Cheese Cake Baklava - As soon as I saw this on the menu, I had to try it! I love each desert individually, so it must be good. 1st bite was good, creamy, soft, and not too sweet. 2nd bite, hum little salty... 3rd bite was ok, and then everyone started to say, is it a bit salty to you? And I was like , yes, wth?! The cream cheese was well mixed in that it had a wonderfully creamy texture. But I think they mixed up the salt for the sugar??? Because it was really salty. I know cream cheese is salty, but this was extra salt... great idea poorly executed.
