Incredible authentic Greek food. A hidden gem in Ramsey! Greek City Restaurant is hands down one of the best spots for Mediterranean food around. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is warm, clean, and welcoming. The food is the real star here, everything is made fresh from scratch daily, and you can truly taste the quality. We've tried everything from the grilled calamari and Greek salads to the tender lamb souvlaki and fresh whole fish, and every single dish is packed with flavor, beautifully presented, and served piping hot. Service is prompt, courteous, and genuinely attentive. Whether you're dining in, grabbing takeout, or ordering for an event, you always get top tier consistency and hospitality. If you haven't been here yet, go, you won't regret it! read more

Greek City is still in my rotation and not going anywhere. It's still BYOB, they give you amazing olive oil and kalamata olives at the table and the food is good. We had the octopus appetizer this time and a large Greek salad with grilled calamari. Such a refreshing, delicious dinner to share. Lots of chargrilled octopus, sliced up to eat and dressed with parsley, capers, lemon and olive oil. Ugh, so good. Drizzle more of that awesome table EVOO for even more yumminess. The large Greek salad is...large. It's well balanced, has mild feta and we got it all topped with grilled calamari (for an added $9). It's a good value as you get plenty of calamari (vs ordering an app of calamari). Dinner ends with complementary Greek cookies - kourabiedes. Bring cash app they charge a credit card fee (my only gripe here). We bright home a gyro platter to go and our server timed the order perfectly so it came out right when we were about to leave. read more

super greek food, large portions, specialties on the menu were great, just go! (byob :)...)

- Huge, open restaurant with plenty of tables and large, spacious booths for a comfortable dining experience - Surprisingly quiet for a Saturday lunch--only a few booths occupied throughout our meal; noise level was low - Food was very good: Chicken Souvlaki Platter and Lamb Souvlaki Platter were served with a generous mound of fresh shredded lettuce, chopped onions, sliced tomatoes, two lemon potato wedges, a stack of mini pitas and a large side of tzatziki--the meats were well seasoned, nicely cooked, and tender and juicy; Gyro Pita was also generously packed with meat, veggies, and sauce - Complimentary bread to start and free almond cookies to finish the meal - Unfortunately, the service was not particularly friendly - Credit card fee imposed read more

THE GOOD ---------------- + Excellent Greek pitas and platters. ++++ Chicken Souvlaki Platter - Platter was spaceship MASSSSSIVE and included a salad, 2 slices of lemon potatoes, pita bread and tzatziki sauce. The chicken souvlaki was surprisingly moist and tender and quite delicious. ++++ Lamb Souvlaki Platter - Huge like the Chicken Souvlaki and the lamb meat was very tender and tasty. It was $2 more than the other platters, but definitely worth the extra few bucks. ++++ Gyro Pita - Huge pita with 2 slices of lemon potatoes on a plate. There was plenty of gyro meat inside along with the typical Greek pita ingredients. ++++ Almond Cookies - This was complimentary after our meal. They were OK and had a lot of powdered sugar on it, but free IS free. ++++ All of the pitas and platters were reasonably priced. Pitas were about $13 and platters were $18-20. + Restaurant is very spacious with plenty of tables and huge booths + Restaurant is very clean, organized and nicely decorated. + Restaurant is part of a strip mall so there are plenty of parking spaces outside + Food arrived very quickly. THE NOT SO GOOD ---------------------------- - Service was a bit blah at the start. ---- We were the 1st customers on a Saturday late morning. Unlike other customers, we didn't get much of a greeting, so womp womp. The waiters were a bit more cordial as our meal wore on. Someone whom looked like the manager wasn't very friendly at all though. MIXED THOUGHTS --------------------------- = Nada. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = We were the 1st customers shortly after opening at 11:30 AM on a Saturday. Slowly other customers began trickling in, but there was PLENTY of space inside still. read more

Great food and friendly service, Greek City's menu, execution, and atmosphere all far outshine the strip-mall exterior. I've been here a number of times for weekday lunches and always look forward to it. Highly highly recommend the Thalassomezes appetizer with combo grilled octopus and grilled calamari, neither are easy to do well and this restaurant serves some of the best I've had of either. The Saganaki fried cheese is also a must-order, every time we come we order it along with the Thalassomezes before reviewing the rest of the menu. I'm an adventurous eater, but I struggle to try new things here because just the thought of missing out on these dishes has me kicking myself. As a heads up, the Mousaka/Pastitsio dishes are quite hearty particularly for lunch--if you need an idea of the heft, think ~6in diameter, 2-3in deep dishes of rich, flavorful, incredible lasagna. If you need to stay alert through your 2pm meeting, consider gifting your future self a portion for lunch tomorrow! read more

I had to try this place. The food was tastey, the service was great, and the booths were very cool looking. You felt as if you were in your own secluded area. We got hummus, saganaki, chicken souvlaki, and greek salad with salmon, chocolate cake, and baklava. All very good as was the bread with the olive oil for the table. Our waiter was very nice, patient, attentive, and did a great job answering all of our questions. read more

When we visit my in-laws in the area, we like to get take out from Greek City. I'm sure one of these days we will dine in as well. Greek City has a large menu with a wide range of options. All of the classic, traditional Greek dishes included. I love the Thalasina platter, which comes with grilled shrimp, octopus, and calamari, drizzled with lemon and olive oil. It is priced a little steep ($37) but considering the pretty large serving of seafood, it's worth it. I also love the Maroulosalata salad, which is simple but flavorful (romaine, dill, scallions and feta with a light olive oil dressing). It's a large serving, plenty to share! Definitely the best Greek food in the area! read more

I've seen this place many times but never considered it because of its location in a strip mall. I finally tried it and was quite pleased. While the price point is on the higher side, I found the portions to be large enough for lunch the next day. Service was attentive and friendly. The gyro platter was flavorful. The hummus had a nice texture but the flavor was average. read more

I hadnt been here in years and we met friends there with very low expectations. They certainly impressed us. As we walked in we were quite surprised at how unbelievably crowded it was. We shared a grilled calamari appetizer along with a salad that was filled with cucumbers and tomatoes. Both were quite good. And then we each got a grilled seafood platter with lemon potatoes and everything was fresh and delicious and the portion size was excellent. We finished with a disappointing dry baklava. The only blemish of this delicious meal, though additionally id have to say that the service was not so good. Lastly, given the crowd, you can certainly understand that it was very loud and made conversation a little bit difficult but I can't blame a restaurant for that. Almost 5 stars but not quite We will definitely be back at this local BYOB read more

Amazing!! We went to Greek City for my birthday and I am quite impressed. The restaurant is very clean and the food was amazing. The fried calamari was so light and delicious, it was not greasy at all. The zucchini chips were outstanding (my husband ate a lot of them and he doesn't like zucchini)! My kids got the salads and they were the small size but they were HUGE. I got the gyro platter and I have to say, that was the best gyro meat--cooked to perfection and not salty. The moussaka was outstanding as well. The waiter was very pleasant and attentive, but not overly attentive so it made for a fantastic dinner. I would highly recommend and actually can't wait to go back!! read more

Greek City Restaurant - Gyro platter!! - Greek Near Me - Ramsey, New Jersey

You can't beat Greek city for authentic Greek food. The price was good. The service was excellent, and the food was delicious. This place gets quite crowded and is bring your own. We ordered Greek salads with chicken shish kebab and some tzatziki. This place got crowded and for good reason if you're in the mood for grapefruit, this is your spot. There was plenty of parking and the owner as well as hostess and servers were very gracious. We will definitely be back again. read more

Great food, service, interior, lot of room, parking. Will be back & highly recommend it.

From the second we walked in until the moment we left, the staff was overly nice in the best way possibleso welcoming, attentive, and genuinely kind. You can really feel that they care about their guests. The food was amazing across the board. We had: * Saganaki - perfectly cooked, rich, and so flavorful * Lamb gyro - tender, juicy, and packed with taste * Greek fries - crispy, seasoned just right, and super addictive * Octopus - incredibly tender and delicious * Kids chicken souvlaki and fries - great portion and our kid loved it Everything came out fresh and hot, and the service never missed a beat. We will definitely be coming back to Greek City and recommending it to friends and family! read more

We've been here a couple of times with friends. This is a hoppin' Greek restaurant with good food and service. Try to make a reservation for a booth towards the back as the place gets crowded and is a bit tight with the tables up front. The food is excellent and we love the Gigante beans appetizer/ side dish. It's always a must here. It's BYOB read more

Octopus, lamb chops, and greek yogurt were all excellent :) Service and interior was great as well. I will be back ! read more

Had an unsatisfactory lunch at Greek City today. To start off, we were greeted very oddly by our waiter. It seemed like he didn't want to serve us right off the bat. He didn't even introduce himself at all. Every time we spoke, he seemed so confused by our requests/questions, almost as if he was trying to make us feel dumb. He made my boyfriend and I very uncomfortable and unwelcome. Plus, when I saw him attending to the other customers, he was way more friendlier. That said, I definitely think he disliked us for personal reasons as soon as he saw us. Service/staff rate 0/10. Inside, it is spacious with several roomy booths and tables. It's also decorated with a bunch of Greek pictures. Ambiance rate 7/10. My boyfriend and I ordered... 1. Pastitsio This dish consisted of noodles and meat sauce which tasted mediocre. The meat sauce tasted like it came from a Ragu can, instead of a homemade recipe. The good thing about this dish was the crispy cheese baked over the top. Rate 5/10. 2. Lamb Souvlaki Platter The lamb was seasoned very nicely. Rate 8/10. 3. Grilled Shrimp Platter The shrimp was okay, nothing special. I wish they added more shrimp (4 count) considering they were average size, and the dish was pricey. Rate 6/10. *The potatoes on the platters had a very overpowering lemon flavor which I disliked. Plus, the side salad did not taste fresh at all.* The tzatziki dip was delicious; it wasn't oily like others I've had before. Rate 10/10. The Taramosalata dip was okay. It lacked its fish roe taste which was unfortunate because that's what it should mainly taste like. Also, I asked to substitute the tzatziki dip the platter comes with, with this dip, and they wouldn't allow it. I had to buy it as an appetizer which was frustrating. Rate 5/10. These dishes were definitely overpriced and not worth it considering most of the dishes tasted subpar. They gave us complimentary almond cookies as a dessert; maybe because their whole menu is pricey! Overall, I wouldn't come back here because of the uncomfortable interaction I had with the staff, and I've tasted much better greek food at a more reasonable price. read more

By far the best Greek food I've ever had! I got the Mousaka. Absolutely delicious! My daughter got the lamb souvlaki. Their portions are definitely large. If there's just a few of you going, consider sharing plates. Their prices were definitely reasonable for the amount of food that you get. Our order took a little bit longer than usual, just due to a malfunction in their software to the kitchen, but they brought us a free appetizer to make up for it. Their service was very prompt and the staff was extremely friendly. I can't wait to go back! read more

Good place for Greek food! We went for my sisters graduation and they were able to accommodate a large amount of us although the benches were not that comfortable, the food and service were excellent! I deducted a star because I ordered take out and the person on the end of the phone seemed to be having a bad day and was very short and also never gave me a time estimate for pickup but aside from that it was great! read more

Was around the area and came here for lunch with a friend since we were in the mood for a gyro. Parking is plenty since it is in a outdoor plaza area. Place was very clean and was greeted by the host when we entered. No wait time so we got seated right away, it was busy in there as well. * They give FREE bread with olive oil and were very tasty. The gyro was very tasty, the veggies and white sauce were at the bottom which is nice since it didn't get messy eating the gyro. The gyro came with a marinated potato which had a lemony taste to it, it was surprisingly tasty. * Free almond pastry dessert when you get the check. The price is kinda high for a gyro (it's in an outdoor plaza, understandable) but it is worth it. I would come back if I was in the area and was craving gyros. read more

Sooo delicous! and a BYOB! Bonus We haven't been here in years because the previous owner was so rude and obnoxious to his staff and to the diners!!! He got into an argument with me because I didn't like one of his dishes. Thankfully he is gone! Now...what a nice dining experience. Wonderful staff, warm, attentive and helpful. The food.... SPINACH PIE was authentic and delicous. Crispy filo without being greasy with a perfectly seasoned spinach stuffing. FRIED ZUCCHINI was perfected seasoned and fried. It is served around a mound of skordalia (mashed potato and garlic spread). I am not a fan of skordalia so I can't comment. Eat up this dish because you can't take it home and reheat it successfully. You'll want to finish it anyway :-) CHICKEN KABOB was tender and perfectly grilled. Lemon potatoes were soft and had just the right lemon tang, tzatziki was rich and creamy, salad was nicely dressed. LAMB KABOB was very good and quality pieces of lamb, but cook had some flaws. The lamb cubes were cut to different sizes so the meat was unevenly cooked. Mostly medium well and some pieces well done. I don't mind that cook, but I know most others would not prefer it. Remember to ask how you would like it cooked. I would still order it again. Same sides as Chicken Kabob. Dessert was CUSTARD WRAPPED IN FILO DOUGH. (Greek name is Galatoboureko) It's a must have dessert. Served warm and has a rich and creamy custard wrapped in filo with a light honey sauce. Sigh!!! So so delicous. read more

Beautiful, upscale place with delicious food and a weird name. "Greek City" sounds like a deli to me, but is anything but!

I took my mother to lunch here and the food is like we remember my Greek grandmother's cooking. We enjoyed the Keftedes (a hamburger patty with mint and onions), the lemon potatoes and the galaktobureko (custard filled phyllo pastry) read more

This is a BYOB so bring your own wine, beer or other adult beverage of your liking. Ambiance was very pretty. I'd recommend getting there early if you enjoy a quieter meal. Our reservation was for 5:30 and we enjoyed a normal dining experience u til about 6:15. The place got really loud as the placed filled up and made it difficult to talk within yelling. Comparable to being at a concert level loud. Food was ok, a bit bland. We took the waitress recommendations as she really talked the food up but what we got was a 3 out of 5. A bit disappointing as we were hoping for real authentic Greek food. The Greek food at Matthews diner in Waldwick was better. read more

I stopped by Greek city for dinner tonight with a friend. I really love Greek food but will admit I basically get the same thing every time. They had a great classic gyro platter. All the toppings were super flavorful and it was easy to grab a little bite of everything. I liked the addition of the Greek potato wedges, with a great hint of lemon in it. They do dine in and take out, and it's Connie toy located in the shopping plaza with plenty of parking. read more

Greek City Restaurant - Gyro Platter - Greek Near Me - Ramsey, New Jersey

What a hidden gem this is!!! It's in a strip mall but don't let that fool you. The people here are the real deal and they are serving up some serious eats. I went here with a large group for lunch from my company. We all pretty much got something different and everyone raved! The lemon soup was off the hook! The classic gyro was huge, meaty and had the right amount of veggies. Nothing worse than missing out on the red onion and crunch of the lettuce. I'm actively looking forward to going back here when in the area. I don't think you will be disappointed! read more
