    Lamb Gyro Platter
    James L.

    Not sure why the negative reviews. This place was busy on a Friday night. The decor is excellent and reminds us of Greece where we were fortunate enough to travel to many years ago. The food in Greece was really good and I think the food in here is pretty close. We had the lamb gyro platter and we really love the meat. Mousaka has a whole slice of eggplant in the middle. It tasted really good. Service was good as well. My only complaint was the food could be hotter when served. Would love to go back and try other dishes.

    To think I passed this restaurant for years-stopped in with my best friend for dinner. We had their seafood platter including prawns, octopus, calamari with side of lemon and potatoes were insanely delicious. Our waiter Endre was attentive and making sure we were taken care of. Desert was equally delicious with Turkish coffee and some Greek special pastries. I cannot wait till my next visit.

    Recently went to Stamna for lunch and overall it was a good experience. My entree could've had a bit more flavor but tasty nonetheless. Our waitress was nice but towards the end she took a while to come back to check on us and we were ready to head out. The decor was pretty, reminded me of being at a restaurant in Greece.

    Shrimp entree with peppers and Greek Fries

    It makes me so sad because I really wanted to love this place!! The food sadly wasn't great. I felt it lacked flavor. I really did not like the fries at all. They were so bland that even adding salt didn't help. The muscles were okay. I got the shrimp entree with peppers and I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of shrimp in it. Props to the restaurant for giving so many. We loved the pan fried cheese. The server lit it on fire when he brought it to us. However, service was not good. It was so hard to track our waiter down for the check and she didn't come to check on us. My partner and I tried to get her attention multiple times and nothing worked. The place is decorated with evil eyes which is so nice! The place is always packed when I pass by it so I'm a bit surprised at the lack of flavor in the food and subpar service.

    Pink snapper, String Beans, lemon potatoes, Greek salad

    We came for dinner on a busy Saturday night but were able to be seated right away. We started with the grilled calamari which was soft, tender, and had a nice char. For our entree, we shared the 2.5lb pink snapper. It came with the choice of 3 sides so we opted for the lemon potatoes, string beans, and Greek salad. I was expecting regular green beans but these were broad and had amazing flavor! They're stewed in a tomato sauce that was very flavorful. The lemon potatoes were simple, lemony, and good. The side Greek salad was okay. The fish had a nice meaty texture and was grilled well. It lacked a bit of seasoning but came with a side of lemon olive oil and lemon wedges that helped. The meal was very filling and satisfying. This wasn't our first visit to Stamna and won't be our last!

    Seafood Salad

    Came here for my sisters birthday on a Sunday @ 12. We were able to get a table for 6 right away. They gave little crayons and a kids menu for my two daughters which is always a perk for me as a mom of a 2 and 4 year old. I got the seafood salad which was delicious and they were not cheap with the seafood. I loved the starter bread that they gave to us. Everyone enjoyed their meal and it was a good lunch.

    Lovely place with a BYOB policy, great atmosphere and appetizers menu. Our party of five were seated immediately on a Friday night and the wait staff was spot on and very attentive. The food was superb. If you're not into Greek cuisine there is chicken and kabobs. The restaurant is right, but there is outdoor seating. Street parking available. A well known place with repeat customers for a reason.

    One of my favorite restaurants, always great service always great food, friendly crowd, Friendly professional staff my favorite dish is a roasted octopus.

    Ordered gyro for takeout. No pride here in what is served. Not sure if they ran out of cucumbers or forgot. For how salty the meat is I would expect more than just 2 slices of tomato and a few little pieces of red onion.

    This is a rare instance that atmosphere really drove my experience. The restaurant is decorated perfectly but the real star of the show is Niko. Probably single handedly one of the best waiters I've ever had. We were seated promptly but we were waiting for a little while before anyone attended to us. I saw Niko scold the other waiters who were just standing aroung while we were waiting for service. I should have known from that moment on this guy was top notch. He was so helpful and inviting he really drove my experience here. I hope management sees this and uses him to train all incoming waiters, he's truly great. OK all that aside. The food was good, clean food, something you feel good after eating even after eating a whole branzino, lamb or porgy. :) One of the best desserts I've ever had in my life was that galaktoboureko. Maybe because it was my first time having it but oh my that was a fantastic experience. I've never had Greek coffee and I was super super surprised, great coffee that has me running on Amazon looking for a briki to make the coffee. I look forward to coming back here again really soon. Cheers!

    Love the food here Great hospitality and great taste of Greek food Definitely recommend

    Octopus

    Every time I drive by this place it's always been busy. My husband and I were able to go last night for dinner, and let me tell you that it didn't disappoint us not one bit. The food was amazing and the atmosphere too. I have to give it to them the octopus was so soft and delicious. The seafood orzo was out of this world. I also like the fact that it was a BYOB.

We'd never tried the lamb hummus before but after enjoying it this time, I'm sure we'll be ordering it again. While I had the lamb chops Kufu, my wife and SIL ordered the Sea bass, which is one of their favorites. Consistently good food and good service will have us coming back again and again. And it's a BYOB!

I enjoyed it so much that I decided to return yesterday. This time, I went alone. I was excited to go back, until the moment I walked in and was immediately asked whether I had a reservation. I said no. I was one person, and there were plenty of empty tables. Despite that, I was placed in a freezing corner by the door. It was uncomfortable and honestly unwelcoming. Nowhere on your website does it say "reservations only," yet that's exactly how I was treated. I felt so uncomfortable that I chose to leave without even placing an order. I walked in ready to spend money and enjoy a meal, and instead I walked out feeling dismissed. You lost a paying customer. What makes this worse is that I later told the same friend I originally went with, and she shared that when she calls ahead for a party of two, they simply tell her to come in because there are plenty of seats and that reservations aren't even required. So clearly, reservations are not the issue. That makes the way I was treated feel intentional and different. As a Palestinian who spends a lot of time in Paterson, I'm very familiar with Middle Eastern restaurants and pricing. Lentil soup is a staple on our menus. I know what a reasonable price looks like. For example, Kral Pide in Paterson charges $7. Charging $15 for lentil soup is excessive. It's not just high, it's outrageous. I'm extremely disappointed. I came back because I genuinely liked this place. Instead, I left feeling uncomfortable and disrespected. I will not be recommending this restaurant to anyone, nor will I be bringing friends or family to this establishment again.

To start the place was gorgeous!! So many beautiful accents to draw the eye and make any social media post Pop with envy!!! The Service, was Attentive, Polite, Professional and Friendly!!! Whether you come in as a couple or as a group, they make everyone feel special and important...love that and Thank You!! The Food!!! Now this is what caught me off guard and I'm SO happy it did. I love to try new things, when I go to new places...so when I go to a Mediterranean Restaurant and I see empanadas or pasta dishes on the menu it's not my go to. It makes me already think it can't be that good, because it's the wrong cuisine in the wrong restaurant. Boy Was I Wrong!!! Antika, I sincerely Apologize for Mis-judging and Pre-judging your menu items. It will Never Happen Again!!! I started with the Fried Calamari...it was seasoned beautifully and cooked correctly!! Then I ordered the Chicken Alfredo...and it was some of the Best Chicken Alfredo that I've ever had!!! My boyfriend ordered the Lamb....which is what we originally came here for, and It was worth Every Bite!!! Deliciously seasoned, perfectly cooked, extremely tender!!! We tied it all together, by the Highly Recommended Mint Lemonade...and let me just say it is So worth the Hype, super happy we ordered the Pitcher and Not a glass!!! This experience was all on a Wednesday and let me tell you, it was one of the Best experiences in a Long Time...and one that will be remembered!!! A little Pricey, but So Worth it...Thanks Antika!!!
