Greek Delight

Tuesday, April 12, 2005

Greek comfort food including Hellenic standards like moussaka, shrimp saganaki and lamb and seafood dishes. Just don't try to speak Greek here -- they're not.

Best. Souvlaki. Ever. And the fries are not so bad either.
We go there at least once a month for take out, and the food is consistently wonderful.

Unimpressed. Souvlaki was bland, basically like any piece of grilled chicken. Felt undercooked too.

Very good Greek -- poli oreia! Weird that few or none of the staff are greek, but the food passes muster for those who have lived in or traveled to Greece.

They have reopened! Everything is as fresh and fabulous as it was before. This is one of my FAVORITE restaurants in town.

Great go-to place for casual, reasonably healthy dining. I recommend the grilled chicken over salad (regular or greek) and the chicken souvlaki in a pita for inexpensive quick takeout dinners. I've also had the swordfish and the other dinner specials. All around good place to eat.

The food is passable. Not by a longshot the best Greek food but clearly good. I had lamb soulvaki in pita ..which featured only three chunks of lamb, two slivers of onion and a couple of tomato pieces covered with the requisite tzatziki. If not for my indulgence in my son's unfinished portion of his meal and a plate of so-so Taramasalta, I would've walked out of the restaurant very hungry. The Spinach pie was first rate and was much better than any diner version.

Our waiter was very efficient. Efficient in the way he worked so hard. An angry sort of hard. I mean, I started getting heart palpations. He opened my wine with such vigor, my son jumped out his seat when the cork produced a sound much like the backfire of a eighteen wheeler. By the way, the wine glasses that he placed on the table were clean. Clean like the just came out of the dishwasher...Clean and hot.

In all fairness, I did not sample enough to warrant a thorough review so I will return to try some of the other dishes.

I always get really great food here. It's one of my favs in town. The stuffed grape leaves are really great.

Hi, my name is Geoff, and I'm a Greek Delights addict (although I can blame my fiancee and her friend). I had my first Greek Delights combo platter about two months ago, and I can't resist the stuff ... I could eat it every night. I've had it in the restaurant and delivered to the house ... it is one of the best schwarmas around, I believe ... I haven't had one like it since I used to stalk this tiny Lebanese-owned place in Journal Square back when I lived in Jersey City. In any case, GD's Greek salad is amazing ... my fiancee swears by the seafood orzo ... I tried a special once, grilled shrimp (sorry, forget the sauce at the moment), and it was amazing. Whenever I even HEAR the words "Greek Delight," I start salivating. No matter how busy they are, they're always friendly and accommodating ... and the food just slays you!

I really like greek delight. We frequent there and we always have the same server, who is really friendly and attentive. I'm a vegetarian, so I can only attest to those dishes, but I love the imam baldi (I'm addicted). My friend is working his way through the rest of the menu. Not the best ever greek food I've had, but certainly delicious!

Yummmmmmm. Takeout, delivery, eat in...this place has some of the tastiest, most reasonably priced eats in the area. The Greek salad is insanely good (though you might want the dressing on the side as sometimes the food floats in oil). Schwarma, falafel, hummus, daily specials...have never gone wrong here.

Fabulous food, inexpensive, friendly, fast. A treat every time I go. I highly reccomend this restaurant!

I went there for lunch with my husband and it was a delight. Cozy atmosphere, tasty food, and very friendly and efficient service.

Anyone know when they'll be in there new space?

i'm still eating what i ordered (lamp souvlaki pita and fried eggplant with garlic dip), but i had to run here and say AMAZING! they don't skimp out on anything. i ordered out, and one of the waiters even asked if i wanted water while waiting. they're really nice, and the food is a great deal. it's also clean and everything is fresh, flavorful, and filling. i think i've found my new favorite restaurant.

My husband and I are hooked. We eat here at least 3 times a month if not more. Best chicken souvlaki platter ever. Way better than the chain Greek restaurants.

Posted by Kim | May 10, 2007 7:37 PM
 

Insanely good. Simple, yet always satisfying. I eat here at least once a month.

Outdoor dining is a plus. Bring a bottle of wine and enjoy some excellent Greek food.

This is our 2d time at Greek Delight and we were quite happy--greek salad was fresh and well dressed, lamb souvlaki, grilled to perfection. My wife enjoyed her spinach pie. Service was prompt and courteous. The bill was $25. We like this place.

 

When are they moving to Bloomfield Ave. already?

Last time I asked them, they said Feb/March.
