25 years ago Eros cafe was our place to be every other night. Sadly the place burnt down and even though I still lived a few blocks away from the new location I never felt visiting again! We went back tonight after my husband has been insisting for a while and what I can I say! I regret I took that long to give it a try! The atmosphere was electric, the service unmatched, the food as delicious as it was 25 years ago and prob more elevated and the addition of the bar this place is a GEM. Go tomorrow and thank me later!! You won't be disappointed. read more

Came here to watch the World Cup and enjoy hookah and drinks with some friends. They have a great screen set up for everyone to enjoy watching inside and outside. They have many flavors to choose from for the hookah set up and even milk or red bull base as well as lollipop tips! Only downside was that the service was taking forever just for drinks and the hookah set up. We had waited at least 20 minutes before receiving it after having to ask again. On top of that it's auto 20% tip for slow service. It started raining outside and we had to relocate inside and they had told us they would bring our hookah in for us but never did. I have yet to try the food but everything that was being brought out to other tables smelled great. Would be open to go back for brunch or dinner and hopefully have better service. Will then update this review. read more

EROS was one of my go-to the restaurants. The service isn't great but the food usually was, until it wasn't. I ordered through the app TOAST and I ordered an entree I frequently ordered. When the food arrived they gave me the wrong dinner. I called and they blamed Toast saying they haven't updated their menu and they no longer serve that entree. they told them multiple times. They sent me whatever they wanted. they just subbed my meal without any contact. when I called they told me to contact Toast to get a refund. I emailed Toast and corresponded with them for a week until they closed my case. The reason it was closed was because EROS did not respond to their emails to confirm what I said. Before I posted this review I emailed them myself with no response. NO REFUND NO RESPONSE their error! horrible customer service! read more

Wanted to love it as music and ambiance great but sadly service is still abysmal. (Host was lovely). Waiter came to take order and 20+ min later -- no water, no drink and an inability to be gracious or apologetic with eye roll when we asked again for water. Tip automatically included adds to frustration. read more

I've been coming to Eros for a years now and always had a good experience! They have good drinks and food! They also upgraded to floor hookah! My cousins and I can't skip on the Eros waffle for dessert! So good!! read more

Place is great w/ great food, unfortunately due to incredibly long waits -hour long for 2 sandwiches - and a nice but clueless staff (we had about five different servers and it still took almost two hours to eat dinner) not to mention incessantly loud rave music so loud you can't hear the person across from you - and the ridiculously loud train whistles every five minutes, you'll come home with a nice case of PTSD. read more

Stopped in one night just for drinks. We sat at the high top tables in the bar. It was a Saturday night, but service took quite some time. The bartender, who was also the server, was very nice. It seemed the dining room was busy and holding up the bar, but we still enjoyed our time there & since their attitude was pleasant, we did not mind the wait as much. Will definitely come back another time to try the food read more

Eros Cafe has been our very first Greek cafe many many years ago!! The owner is absolutely amazing and very friendly,as well as, all the staff members! It's a great place to sit and unwind and enjoy! It's a kid friendly cafe and has an outside seating area too. The food is great and a nice cozy atmosphere. One of my favorites, is their Greek Spanakopita! Coffee is also delicious and prices are reasonable! There is also, parking availability, which is always a plus!! I definitely recommend! read more

I've been there twice now and both times the service was terrible. Took 25 minutes for someone to come to our table. After we requested water it took another 15 minutes.. mind you it was very hot. After saying something to the waitress it took 1hour and 30mins for our basic breakfast foods. Not once did the waitress check on us. We had to go inside to ask for the check. Overall both times at Eros and the service was horrible. My family and I regretted giving them another shot. read more

I've been there twice in the past month and I'm not happy with the service at all. My girlfriend and i went for a drink and some appetizer and the waiter only came once in the beginning and at the end. I had to ask other waiters for our food and drinks. Then i ended up having to go to the front to pay because our waiter never cared to come back for the check. He served the table next to us a couple times and never checked in at all I also went today when my family. Yes i know it was Father's Day but when we got there for noon the place was empty and it took us a half hour to get a waiter then another hour to get our food and we ordered pretty simple stuff like eggs, pancakes fries and waffles. Eros is not like it used to be. I would have thought since they expanded there seating into the parking lot they may have gotten better with service but that does not seem to be the case!! read more

I've been coming here with my family and friends for years! Recently they upgraded their hookahs and they're much better. Food, cocktails, hookah and service is 10/10. The only reason I give it a 4/5 vs 5/5 is because of the train. It can get loud and hard to talk over. Still definitely recommend going and will continue to go back read more

My family had reservation we had to wait 20 minutes to be moved from outside because the sun was too hot to be told they had one umbrella but it was broken then we got moved to the patio to wait another 1 hour to get our food. Horrible service. Don't recommend them. They needed more people to work there. read more

I've been here a couple times throughout the years. Seems like there are new owners. I used to really enjoy the ambiance here with the outdoor seating and nice servers but after my last visit I think I may have knocked this off of my list. My boyfriend and I had a fine experience but he ordered a chicken gyro and it didn't have enough tzatziki. He asked for a little more and they said it would cost $2. That kinda stuff seriously rubs me the wrong way. The first time should be complimentary and the second time should cost extra. The sandwich is dry how is he supposed to eat it enjoyably? Didn't like that nor the energy of the restaurant. Something I also hate is when I walk into an establishment and the workers look at me funny. Should I just leave? What happened to "hi how are you! Welcome in!" I do pay your bills ya know. *end rant* lol read more

I am saddened to write this review as Ero's has been a place I frequented for years, but I probably won't be returning after yesterday. (This is going to be a long one....) I took my mom to an early dinner for an Early Mother's Day celebration. We sit down, reviewed the menu & order our drinks with one woman. (With me having gone so often, I've learned that this older female is either an owner or manager). The managers often will seat guests, take orders etc. A male bartender is the one who brings up our drinks. My mom ordered an alcoholic drink and I ordered a Heineken 0. He made a comment when dropping off the drinks that what I ordered was "nothing" or something along those lines...this is important later. We put in our apps, one of which was on the specials display that was on the tables. She clearly didn't know the specials because she had to look and squint her eyes, but finally she got our order down. Our apps come and one was wrong. Instead of the scallop special, the mango and shrimp salad came to our table - again, this was a different person coming to our table. We explain to the woman we did not order that. She takes it back then a male....(assuming owner, because he was going to all the tables asking how everything is) comes with the plate, walks past our table and hands it to the table besides us and lets them know a mistake was made in the kitchen and they could have it. ?????? Why not offer it to us? It wasn't a big deal because we ordered lots of food, but it's the principle. Very strange. Finally, our food comes. Mom ordered the octopus and a lamb souvlaki platter which she was very happy with. I had the crabmeat stuffed flounder,as pictured, and unfortunately it fell flat. Pictured is as much as I could stomach. There was something off about the potatoes that my mom and I could not quite pinpoint. It almost tasted as if it was made in old water and had no seasoning to it. Oh, by the way, we figured out the table who got that mango salad were definitely friends of the owners because our original server/manager/owner and the male owner kept returning there. our original server was there chatting for 10 mins while we still hadn't received any waters which I had to ask for. She also disappears after this. My mother then gets the attention of the male bartender to say she'd like another drink and he says "what about you.... Do you want another.... Whatever that is..." At this point it's just simply annoying. I can order what I chose but on a more serious note, what if I was ordering a nonalcoholic beer because I had a problem or was pregnant or something... I don't know, maybe I thought this way, too, because I was incredibly annoyed at my experience. We wanted dessert but opted to go elsewhere and not give them any more of our business. Again, our original server was MIA to even ask for the check. I am mortified because I used to LOVE this spot. I think the problem is they involve too many people. If someone is serving a table, you don't need 3-4 other people involved and dropping things off, taking orders etc. That gets confusing & is a bit chaotic for the customer. This is my first review with so many complaints in one experience. I'm sorry Ero's, but yesterday you lost a very loyal customer. read more

this place when i went was dead. only one other table was there. thought it was strange for a saturday night. was looking for it to be more lively. my friends enjoyed the food. i had a greek salad and it was good just it barely had any dressing on it so i asked for more dressing. on the bill they charged me $1 extra for it. i don't mind to pay but the original salad was dry. i had a drink it was good. overall it was ok. if i go back i will try an entree instead. read more

Cute place in East Rutherford to have breakfast/brunch. Food is good and so is the service. We often go here for fredo cappuccinos which wake you up and yet are so light. Javier is the fredo cappuccino king, make sure he makes it for you. There's a small outside seating area for the warmer days and they have hookah in the back for those interested. If you are around give this place a try. read more

We were looking for a place in Nj with good food that closes at midnight. We found Eros Cafe. The food was delicious, we started with the fried calamari, greek salad and the skirt quesadilla. The flavor of the food for me was perfect. We enjoy the drinks too. Our server was Manuela, she was kind and attentive. I highly recommend this place. My husband and I really enjoyed the food, service and atmosphere. We are definitely coming back read more

Amazing food and darling service...if you want a place with delicious and fresh food, go to Eros! If you want a place where the waitstaff is absolutely lovely and friendly, go to Eros! There is something for everyone on the menu! Including kids. We already planned our next trip to the area JUST so we can eat at this spot again! read more

I came here for coffee this morning. My friend and I ordered their Greek coffee (double). Everyone was very nice and made sure we were good. I love how they treated us. We will be back for dinner in the next couple of weeks. Upset, we could not stay for lunch. I know, they get really busy in the evening, we'll be there next time to try the hookah. read more

Fantastic food, great selection, warm and friendly staff. Takeout is always great as well, well packed and arrives safely.

There's a small parking lot in front and street parking which is limited. I always come here after 8pm, you cannot call to make reservations ahead, you have to be there to make reservations. The place is very busy, at least a 30-40min (outdoors) wait usually i when I go on the weekends. The restaurant is not that big, you have indoors for food or outdoors for hookah/food. The outdoors is tented, so that helps when its cold outside. I nice spot to hang out with friends and have hookah. Theres a good amount of hookah flavors and drinks as well. I have only had the pizza which was good but the fries and molten lava cake were okay. The Chai tea was really good and sweet. There are a lot of options for food. read more

Great hang-out spot to chill with some friends, and enjoy drinks/hookah with. As for the food, it's so so. This Cafe used to be in another part of town until they relocated here. It is across the street from the Train Station. It has a small parking lot with several spaces, and street parking. Very nice spot to sit down, and enjoy company with whether with friends or date night. They have a pretty extensive menu with a lot to offer from food (mostly Greek origin), alcoholic drinks, wide variety of coffees/teas/chai, and hookah (made on site). The hookah and drinks were enjoyable. The food was good, but not what I remember it being from the old location. I wasn't too enthusiastic with the Gyro platter. The gyro meat felt like it was the packaged "diner" version. The meatballs were okay, but a little bland. It also felt like a packaged "diner" version. The grilled octopus was nice, but no wow factor. I would still come back to try more options next time around. It is definitely a nice spot to chill, and be able to talk amongst people without the loud music. I would read more

Been here a few times and I do enjoy this place. Parking is a little tough. They do have a parking lot, but it is tight. Never had to wait to get a table. Love the fries here. Great lemon zest to it. So delicious. I find myself returning back simply for the fries. Sandwiches I have had tend to be on the dryer side, but not terrible. Overall, I enjoy this spot for some good Greek food. read more

Always a great spot to come to after work. For years, Eros has continued to renovate their restaurant, and it gets better every time. Their menu is Greek inspired; recommend keftethes (Greek meatballs) or the char grilled souvlaki platter. They also have a bar and hookah in their outdoor space. They have their own parking lot but can get filled quickly, so street parking is also an option. Definitely recommend this place. read more

I came here with a baddie It was on the low low I have too many side pieces at this point I have to find new places to eat so I chose this place. Food was good, we had mimosas. read more

My family and I decided to give Eros a second chance. We stopped going there years ago because of the quality, portions and pricing. Tonight we were sadly reminded of exactly why we stopped eating there. Nothing has changed. Actually I take that back, it some how got worse. The quality of the food was so bad. The pasta (penne) and french fries were dried out. The Penne alla vodka tasted gross. The hummus was god awful. It tasted so bland. Besides that the portion was incredibly small. For $6 I would think they would at least fill the container halfway but no. See pics below. Don't waste your money. You are better off grabbing a container Sabra hummus. We also got the Greek chicken sliders. It was just thrown together with our any care. It was just a hot sloppy mess. Never again. read more

I ordered delivery through Uber eats and let's start with the beginning. Ordered a lemon chicken rice soup for 2.50, it came in a dipping sauce bowl lol. Fried calamari had ZERO flavor - only thing that made it good was the lemon aioli dipping sauce. Lemon potatoes (they sent me exactly 3 wedges with one lemon for $5 I'm so disappointed with this meal and would definitely not order from them again - cheap as hell with the portions and lacking flavor. If your going to avoid seasonings - atleast give your customers decent size portions smh. read more

I absolutely love it here. The staff is nice and attentive. The prices are great and if you're into this , they have hookah. It's also right by the train station for those that live along that line. Outdoor seating (heated in the winter) is also a plus. Glows: -Decent menu and prefixes -Outdoor seating -Food is good and never cold -They've added a bar, it used to be BYO -Parking on site and if it's full, always street parking -Close to the train station Grows: -The interior could use a makeover and it almost doesn't match the outdoor spaces in a weird way (besides of the obvious differences between indoor and outdoor dining) read more

Used be a fun place to go and chill. Unfortunately the new manager was rude and kicked us out and was basically pushing my party out the door because we stayed 5-10 min over their curfew. He has no manners and should be fired. So sad won't ever be coming back. read more

I was initially hesitant about this place because the reviews said the food was great but there was bad service. When I was there, the food was great and the service was great.
