We love Greek food and Mythos did not disappoint. It's a Quaint little place in Cliffside Park that has great food! We really enjoyed everything we ate! They were able to customize my meal accordingly as I am Gluten Free. Everything I ate was delicious! The waitress offered perfect service and the owners were super friendly. Great place to go and they also offer takeout! read more

Food is delicious! Wish the gyros/pitas came with a side for dinner. Lovely dining area and quick pick-up. This place is not under new ownership- I did ask directly. They confirmed it's the same owners - that I was glad to hear. I don't eat here as often because the price is a bit high compared to other places, but the quality is worth it! read more

This is now our go to Greek restaurant. It is owned and operated by Greek folk, the staff is Greek, and the chef is Greek and it shows. The food is wonderful. The atmosphere is great. The servings are so generous. The dip platter was delicious and hearty. The lemon chicken was tasty with fresh lemon and oregano seasoning and moist. The roasted potatoes were soft and nicely browned. The gyro hit the spot. The tzatziki is nicely garlicky but not overly so. The lettuce and tomato were crisp and fresh. The lamb chop over the orzo was terrific. Not only huge but cooked well and the sauce was a wonderful tomato based sauce. We love this restaurant read more

Came here for lunch with a friend. My friend suggested this place and I am always down for a gyro so I was looking forward to this place. Ended up getting the gyro pita ($13.24 tax included) for takeout. The gyro was fresh and not greasy, very tasty. Solid gyro. Tzatziki sauce was solid as well. If you're in the mood for gyros and in the area, I would recommend this spot. * Parking on premise read more

Really good food and I liked the ambiance as well, almost shocking it's in Cliffside park which is why the prices are better I guess. The octopus is one of the best I've had recently, perfectly soft and ever so lightly chewy making the best cooked I've had till date. Greek salad very flavorful as well, well balanced and fresh fresh tomatoes they were. I wasn't a fan of the saganaki shrimp especially with that price but my friend really liked its dish - shrimp butter and cheese, mozzarella maybe and tomato sauce. But all in all enjoyable evening and will come back for the food. Parking is painful since they only have a handful of spots. Just to note and the miss from being perfect is why I have it at 4 stars but I'll update my review if anything changes. read more

One of my favorite local Greek restaurants! Great caviar dip and mixed appetizer platter. Excellent Greek salad -- especially with grilled chicken or calamari. Excellent gyro platter.

No complaints about the accompanying items and the fresh tasting tsatsiki sauce. All around the the experience was solid and it was a far above average delivery order.

Mythos is an amazing restaurant/cafe situated in a quiet section of Cliffside Park in a small strip mall. In other parts of the country, strip malls are a prime place to find ethnic restaurants with wonderful food, hospitality and fair prices. This is your gem to discover. It is bright and cheerfully decorated in true Meditteranean style. The menu board lists all the extremely fresh grilled fish offered including orata, dorado, branzino and fried anchovies (without bones). The owner noted that the fried anchovies were like french fries. Spot on description. Our party had one one of the dips (taramasolata) with hot pita and the Greek sausage appetizer. Enough for four each. Two of us ordered fish (mine was deboned beautifully) while our third went for the lamb gyro (the lamb was seasoned to a T). The Greek fries and rice pilaf were fresh and delish. We were full (and have the doggy bags to prove it) but we needed to sample a dessert along with Greek coffee. The baklava was served warm with crisp phyllo and golden honey and walnuts. It's easy to converse with the soft Greek music playing. Even with two glasses of wine, the cost of our supper was half of what it would be in Fort Lee. We will be returning read more

Ordered the lamb souvlaki platter. Lamb was poorly seasoned/quite bland and also very dry/chewy. It didn't really taste like there was much if any salt or seasoning and kind of tasted gamey compared to other lamb I've had in the past. The fries that the platter came with were decent but did have a bit of a rancid oil after taste. Seasoning on-top was good and they were crispy. Portion size was good/generous. Yogurt sauce was good. All in all for $22 I was hoping the lamb would have been better and it's a bit overly priced for what you're getting. Not sure if it was because it was later in the evening when I ordered but that shouldn't deter from taste. Overall 2 stars since main entree (lamb) was lacking any flavor or salt and was dry, plus fries tasted like they were fried in old oil. read more

We decided to take a ride to give Mythos a try and boy am I glad we did. We sat outside on a beautiful night under the trellis that was decorated beautifully. Not ever having Greek food before we were excited to try it. We got a little help from Steve and the staff on what to order. We had the grilled octopus that was unreal. Tender and flavorful with grilled veggies around it. We also had shrimp with melted cheese in a light tomato sauce that was delicious and actually tasted like lobster. For dinner sandra had the Greek lasagna with salad. Fantastic flavor. I had the seafood orzo that was packed with calamari shrimp and octopus. All cooked to perfection and tender as can be. Susie had the Greek Meatballs that she loved. Everything we had was fantastic. The service was friendly and prompt they actually made you feel like you were family. The prices are extremely reasonable for quality and quantity of food. The other patrons sitting around us were also very nice and talkative. We actually all talked a bit and kidded around. Overall it was a wonderful happy night dining outside eating great food and being surrounded by nice people. Does it get any better. I think NOT. Get here if you haven't yet. Enjoy read more

First, let me say this score and review is based solely on a single visit for lunch. I'm not familiar with this area, but I've eaten at the Clifton location of It's Greek To Me, so felt I knew what to expect, and I wasn't disappointed. I went with the $11.95 Gyro sandwich lunch special, which came with Greek Fries. The gyro was perfectly serviceable; although I found the meat to be overly salty for my taste. The tzatziki sauce was very good. It tasted homemade; with lots of cucumber and dill. The "Greek Fries" were forgettable. I don't know why they're called "Greek" fries. Maybe they shake some oregano over them. They were batter coated fast food fries; which I'm not a fan of. The service was both friendly and attentive. If I'm back in the area I wouldn't hesitate to return for another try. read more

It was my first time having a gyro and it was completely out of this world. Calamari was outstanding. I have to say one of the best I've ever had. Don't get me started on the fries they were just as delicious. The rest of my table even said that it was the best Greek food they have ever had!

What a great place, our server was super friendly and the food was delicious. My girlfriend and I came here for dinner on Saturday night, the restaurant was relatively empty which is unusual but due to the snowfall from earlier people were probably staying in. The restaurant itself is clean and the decor is pleasing to the eyes. We got seated right away and our server uncorked the bottle of white we brought with us (BYOB). We shared some appetizers, a small Greek salad, baba ganoush and hummus. The small salad is definitely more than enough for two people along with the baba ganoush and hummus (which we took home with us). For the main course my dining partner had the grilled octopus which had a nice crispy/charred outside but the meat itself was soft and tender, yum! I devoured a titan of a gyro which was awesome. Overall I was pleased with our visit and looking forward to coming back again! read more

I loved the octopus especially with hummus! And the fish which was a lot with 2 fillets of lavraki with a large portion of spinach! So yummy, we will absolutely be back and can't wait!

We arrived during happy hour and ordered a few drinks along with a dozen oysters...the drinks were cold and the oysters were fresh. We also ordered the chef's special salad and a seafood soup (special) for appetizers...both were great starters. For entrees, we shared the crab cake and the fish and chips both of which were very tasty. Bottom line, the food and service were excellent.

We ordered the French toast, the middle eastern breakfast, and the Jerusalem breakfast? Their hummus, baba ganoush, labneh, and tzatziki was very delicious. Eggs cooked to perfection. Their freshly squeezed orange juice was something else. We joked about buying a gallon of it to take home. Service was painfully slow and unapologetic. We get it. It was busy, and we were not on a time constraint. But still painfully slow. Would recommend for a unique brunch.

Everything we tried felt well-executed and confidently seasoned. No gimmicks, no overcomplication, just really good food. Service deserves its own shoutout. The staff was genuinely friendly, helpful, and present without hovering or pushing extra items. You can tell they actually want you to have a good time, not just clear the table and flip it. The atmosphere is relaxed and warm, perfect for a laid-back night with good drinks and small plates. If you're looking for a spot that feels easy but still delivers on the food, this is it.

Service was great, friendly and accommodating, even though we had a late reservation close to kitchen closing, which we really appreciated. The food was just as impressive, especially in both flavor and portion size. The baba ghanoush was delicious and tasted just like the ones I grew up eating. The mixed grill was a standout in terms of value, with tender, well-seasoned meats and a generous portion. The chicken tagine was equally satisfying, with moist chicken and vegetables that complemented everything nicely. We finished with the warm date tart, which was definitely on the sweeter side but perfect if you enjoy desserts like that. Overall, it's a great spot for flavorful food, large portions, and an amazing atmosphere.

We were in and out in 45 minutes, and the food... well... let's just say it peaked during visit #1. Here's the rundown of what went from "yum" to "meh": - Shrimp with Garlic - No. Just no. It had a funky taste, and shrimp should never be described as "funky" unless they're dancing. - Chicken Tagine - Tasty, yes, but we got two pieces of chicken. Two. The last time , hubby and I got at least four. What happened? Budget cuts? Chicken shortage? - Dates - These were actually delicious. - Cucumber Drink - Last time it was refreshing. This time it was... chewy? I don't know, but beverages shouldn't require chewing. And with that, I think we're done here...

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Mythos, an authentic Greek restaurant that left me thoroughly impressed. From the moment I stepped inside, I was enveloped in the charm and warmth of Greece. The ambiance was inviting, with traditional décor and soft Greek music playing in the background, setting the perfect tone for an unforgettable meal. The food at Mythos was nothing short of exceptional. Each dish was a culinary masterpiece, bursting with authentic flavors and made with the finest ingredients. From the savory souvlaki to the creamy tzatziki, every bite transported me to the streets of Athens. The attention to detail in the preparation was evident, and it was clear that the chefs took great pride in their craft. What truly set Mythos apart, however, was the impeccable service. The staff were friendly, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. They went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of our dining experience was perfect. The owner, in particular, was a gem. Not only was he a gracious host, but he also took the time to personally check in on each table, ensuring that every guest felt valued and cared for. Overall, my experience at Mythos was nothing short of exceptional. From the delicious food to the impeccable service and the warm hospitality of the owner, every aspect exceeded my expectations. I left Mythos feeling not only satisfied but also grateful for the opportunity to experience such an authentic taste of Greece. I highly recommend Mythos to anyone in search of an unforgettable dining experience. read more
