I found this place randomly searching for gyros. The reviews and pictures convinced me to bookmark this place. Stopped by on a Friday night. The place has a Greek/Mediterranean dine in vibe with wall-art to match. Ordered take out and was told it would be about 15 minutes since everything is made to order which I'm totally cool with. Ordered two shish Taouk combination ($21 each) which is the chicken shish kabob and gyro meat combo with pita sliced, rice and salad. It comes with salad dressing and garlic mayo sauce, very tasty. The portions are huge and the meats solid. Had to get a side order of tsatsiki sauce ($1.50) since I was having gyro meat which had a mixed yogurt texture, it was alright, taste wise. The garlic Mayo has more flavor. Overall it was a solid meal. If I'm in the area I'll def get the shish Taouk kabob platter. * Shopping mall parking *** YOU NEED TO REQUEST TSATSIKI SAUCE WHEN ORDERING THE SHISH TAOUK COMBINATION!! * Closes at 8pm (Friday) * Try to bring cash, suggested by the person in charge. read more

We came here thinking it was a restaurant but it's more of a take out place. They said it's BYOB but they didn't even have a wine bottle opener. The hummus is good, the baba ganoush was also good. We got the chicken platter. It was a large portion. The rice was good and the chicken kababs were cooked well. The garlic yogurt sauce was probably the best part of the dish. I really wanted a chicken gyro and they were able to accommodate. The pita was soft and the garlic sauce was yum. It was filled to the max. The food was good. The ambiance needed some more flare. The kids meals were ok. The French fries lacked any salt or pepper so it was pretty bland. They also only gave us to go ketchup packets. The mozzarella sticks were okay. For a mom and pop restaurant they did ok. read more

If you are in the mood for food that represents Mediterranean region, this place is a good option. I would not go out of my way to drive there, however, when in the area I would go back. It is a great option for a quick and tasty food. Some items are more authentic and some of them are more 'standard' items. read more

Ordered food tonight for takeout and it's delicious. The restaurant was so friendly and the chicken kabobs and hummus are fantastic. Nice sized portions as well.

Finding a good Gyro is hard in my area, so when traveling I check for Greek restaurants that have them. Stopped in on a Saturday, and Stefanos was not busy. Ordering was fast as I knew what I wanted, a Gyro sandwich, and it promptly arrived. Gyro was decently sized with a different flavor to the meat as they use charcoal to get more flavor. I found the Tzatziki sauce to be too mild though. Selection of beverages is wide with various sodas, waters, and teas available, but they also have fountain drinks. This place is a 3.5, but what bumps them up to a four was the very attentive service. The lady at the counter was very good, even instructing me how to eat a Gyro as many people do not know. Overall, I'd return to try other items. read more

Absolutely terrible service. Walked in and no one is there - shades between the kitchen and counter are disgusting yet I was told to sit by the door. Quickly I realized this was a COVID warrior with her virtue signaling double mask nonsense. Then she proceeds to spray all the tables but the one by the door with some chemical (and doesn't wipe it up). The half used napkins, old Dunkin Donut coffee cup and strewn papers on the first table didn't exude the sterility cellphone employee was trying to signal. But back to the food - pretty simple order, no onions, no tomato, easy on sauce... in less than two minutes (meaning the food was already sitting there), out comes a soaked paper plate, filled with sauce and loaded with onion and tomatoes. "Yeah you can pick that off." While still talking on her cell phone and only partially acknowledging my presence. No thanks I'm done, refunded money quickly and I left. Good luck to the owner - with employees like that you're gonna need it. I hate leaving negative reviews - but for a $15.00 gyro, and the $15/hr or whatever this headcase is getting paid people deserve to know. Good luck. read more

Visited Stefano's today and was greeted by the owner. She was lovely! We had the Greek salad, gyro sandwich and kofta. Omg delicious!!! What a great place. This is our 5th time coming here and each time the food has been superb. What really makes this place special though is the customer service. The owner is so kind and warm. Thank you for always being so welcoming. read more

Food is very good. What's with the styrofoam plates and plastic forks? The owner is always looking for tips.

I went to Stefanos this past weekend with my family/ party of 8. When we came in we were the only ones in the restaurant. At first I was starting to think that this might have been a bad idea since no one was there. There one one lady working the front who took our order and super friendly. As our appetizers came in, more people started to trickle in which made me feel a lot better about suggesting this place to my family. The appetizers were great and when our entrees came in, they were even better. A few of my family members ordered the gyro sandwich on pita bread. She showed them how to properly eat the gyro by pressing the sides together, taking a bite and pulling the wrapper along the way. I was kind of shocked at the fact that she litteraly put her hands on my dad's food and proceeded to show us the proper way to eat a gyro. She did however say her hands were clean but in my mind, I really don't need you touching my food! Throughout our course of the meal, the restaurant became PACKED! With people dinning in and many people taking out. All of this with just one worker/server at the front. She managed the whole store and got everyone their orders, so props to her. When it finally calmed down we asked for the check. She never gave us the bill that calculated the breakdown cost of our meals but instead just told us the total cost. The price seemed a little higher than expected so I asked if she had already included tip, since we didn't see the actual check. She did say she added a 15% tip, which was fine, we added a little extra since she ran the whole restaurant alone. Overall, the food was great. Everyone enjoyed the food they had and the entrees had plenty on the plate. read more

The food is soooooo good here! The chicken kabobs are my favorite! My fiancé loves the gyro sandwich. We have ordered from here twice and will continue to do so. read more

This is my favorite Mediterranean place in the country, it truly is on another level. Get the kofta combination plate with cigars (lightly fried cheese). Either come hungry or share the plate. Hands down the best place if you are looking for real food, real ingredients with a touch of love. If I am ever in the area again, this is on the top of my list. It is a little hard to find as it does not face the street, but it is nestled just behind Chili's facing red lobster. read more

I had heard great things about Stefanos Mediterranean Grille, but my work schedule kept me from dining there. So, I was thrilled to find them on DoorDash! Everything I'd heard turned out to be true--Stefanos' food is amazing, so fresh, and delicious. I am already looking forward to ordering again. There are other Mediterranean fast food options, no shade to them but Stefanos Mediterranean Grille is clearly superior, and the prices were comparable. A definite chef's kiss for Stefanos! read more

I have been staying in these hotels on and off for years, if it were not for yelp I would never have found Stefanos. I am now leaving after another amazing dinner. Was not even close to the clean plate club. Huge portion, brilliant authentic presentation and the quality was perfect. They are quite proud of their lunch crowd, as Stefanos is recognized for their fresh (home made today) menu. Quiet at night. I will be back. read more

Under rated Family owned and operated Greek place surrounded by tasteless/overly salted Darden slop. If you are in Harmon Meadow, do your body some good and fuel it with diary or gluten free options, like the foods available here. The lentil soup was perfect and very hot! The green falafel had spice and were not greasy. The salad was a bit over dressed, but the grilled chicken and garlic mayo was delicious together. The pita here is quality. The owner waited on our table. She said that her late husband was the chef and together they ran the restaurant. Her mother was there having lunch. The owner said that she brought her mom up from Florida so that she could take care of her after having taken a recent fall. This is a true American family story. Fighting to stay competitive with tried and true traditional Greek cooking and flavors. I wish this business lasting success. read more

Sofia's is normally my go to for Mediterranean food when I'm in this area, but I was in walking distance of here so I gave it a try. The restaurant is take out only, but the lady working out front was very nice and helpful and my order didn't take long to wait on. The portions were great like most gyro places, but the pita bread tasted old and dry and the meat was a little dry also. The hummus tasted ok but not tons of flavor. For convenience it was perfect, but next time I'll make the drive to get my fix. read more

So many great reviews so we had to try out this restaurant (and there was nothing else around). At first we were surprised about the small, cozy restaurant but the waitress was really friendly and welcoming. We decided to stay and try out few dishes. I ordered lentil soup, hummus & baba ganoush plate, and my husband ordered gyros plate. Lentil soup (3/5) was too salty for me and the consistency was too thick. Felt like thick porridge not a soup. It was pretty tasty but still - too much salt for me. Hummus & Baba Ganoush plate (4/5) - really tasty, I loved it. Only it was very small (mostly salad - we chose extra salad instead of rice or fries, but I didn't even know there would be any rice/fries/salad). I was hoping it will be a big plate with only hummus and baba ganoush because initially we planned to take only hummus dish. Also, it came with 4 small pieces of pita that wasn't enough. Definitely not worth $14. My husband gyros plate looked nice except the meat. I asked him if he liked it and he said "It's ok". So I assume he have had better. Probably would come back again but not in near future. read more

Sharing fee and kids meal upcharge for kids meals? This is 1st place I have seen for charging a fee for... sharing???... I apologize but I can not understand it. I have moved from Washington DC which have tons of great kabob / middle eastern restaurants and I have never seen that that. Also today I saw a new fee: upcharge for kids meals if it is ordered by an adult... Yes, I am still thinking about it too... Today it was my 2nd visit to this place and I happy to return to it, if they think over about all this. read more

Stefanos Mediterranean Grille - Sharing fee and kids meal upcharge for kids meals? - Mediterranean Near Me - Secaucus, New Jersey

Amazing food!! I usually get the lamb plate and everything tastes so fresh. The lentil soup is delicious as well as the hummus!

Ordered takeout from here once and got the lamb kabob pita. Pita sandwich was good. Meat was seasoned well and cooked perfectly. The one thing is they overloaded the sandwich with way too much tzatziki to the point where it was dripping everywhere. So if you order a pita sandwich, ask them to go light on the dressing. read more

Must try in secaucus! This little gem is hidden in a shopping plaza but this family owned restaurant has been around for 20+ years and wow- if you want a well made, flavorful gyro without having to feel guilty eating it then this place is for you. A very inexpensive meal with entree options to dine in or take out. I also had the lamb kebab sandwich and wow! It was evident that the tomatoes, lettuce etc was all fresh. How can something so simple be wrapped in so much flavor is a secret to me. The sauce is yogurt based. The owner is a very nice, hard working Lebanese woman that was so appreciative of our business. Seems they are busy during weekday lunch hours and pretty low key on weekends. Give it a try without breaking the bank - you will be pleased. read more

The host/cashier/waiter was super friendly and she really did it all. The food was very plentiful and quite good. Man, those plates were filled to the brim and they're the size of your head! Falafel, Hummus, lamb/beef shawarma meat in tsatziki sauce, and the baklava were all quite good. read more

I haven't been here in a while, and the food is as good as I remember. Great food, big portion and a recent change. Because of COVID, the restaurant layout has changed and we sat at an outside table. She is going through great lengths to insure that your food, table, chairs, credit card machine and anything you may touch is sanitary. She has put more care into this than I have seen any other place to date. That effort is appreciated and she should be given as much business as she can handle. read more

This is by far the best Greek restaurant that I've had. I've eaten at a few in NJ but this place tops them all. The owner's daughter is really friendly. It really is a diamond in the rough considering the amount of other food places nearby. read more

I totally thought I wrote a review for here already. I was about to update it and realized it wasn't there! I've been here 2 times to eat in and once for pickup so far, and every time it has been a real treat. I've met two different women here and both were very nice, talkative, and caring...almost to the point where you feel like family because they threw in a little extra of this here or wanted to make sure you got the good sauce or had the chefs wait 20 minutes so your food would be hot when you got here or something like that. The one waitress informed me that it is Mediterranean with Lebanese influence. It's a little pricey but the portions are huge. I had it for lunch 2 days in a row. I LOVE the Shrimp Kabob. Their shrimp is so deliciously seasoned and the garlic mayo sauce is killer. It comes with a side salad and pepperocini (love), and rice or french fries. I been trying to be healthy so I got the rice. We also got hummus with pita and they threw in this extra buttery bread that reminds me of something I had in Puerto Rico lately. The hummus is soo goood. Sometimes I'm really like 'eh' when it comes to hummus in general, but I'm a fan of Stefanos. In an area with a lot of chain restaurants, Stefanos is the diamond in the rough. read more

Four stars for food, and one star for service. I'll explain...first, the food: The falafel platter was great, served with red rice which had some peas and carrots in it, a small salad of lettuce, sliced tomato, kalamata olives, and herb vinaigrette...along with a pita, cut into quarters. The falafel were light and fluffy and delicious. Also, the hummus and babaghanouj platter...which was served with the same accompaniments as the above mentioned falafel. Both items were smooth, creamy, and delicious. The greatness stops there, sadly... Truly, good service is in the eye of the beholder. So, after reading some prior reviews before writing this, I noticed a few mentions about family run and friendly and such. These things do not mean that the service was fantastic. Absolutely not. Firstly, we were told that there was a $3 reduction to most menu items for lunch (which happens to be when we were there, around 1pm), except for the lamb, salmon, and beef. The hostess explained it was because these items are very expensive and she needs to make her money back on these particular items. As I've stated in my reviews prior, I'm in the food business, and completely understand what she was explaining. I just don't believe that she should be explaining it to her customers at all...unless they ask. We didn't ask. Nor did we get the $3 lunch price. We paid full price of around $10 per platter. We waited a few minutes, and our hostess brought our grub exclaiming, "Look at this! Doesn't this look fantastic? You're going to love this!" She also lamented about the "homemade" iced tea and lemonade. So, we went for it. Most places we frequent don't have a small, medium, or large anymore. It's pretty much one size with a refill, if we want one. Shame on us for assuming that, but we were hit with the largest size of the revolting instant powdered brew. Cloyingly sweet, imitation lemon flavoring...does "homemade" mean, "home mixed"??? Terrible and around $7 for two. So, with a $27.95 price tag for this experience and without any complaining from us, we attempted to pay with AmEx...I mean, on the front door was a Visa, MasterCard, and AmEx sticker there. I assumed they accept these cards. Silly me. The do, in fact, accept these, but when you attempt to pay with an AmEx, you get a speech about how they take 6% of the bill, and cuts into the money made by the establishment. So, we were then asked for cash. Awkward? Obnoxious? Ballsy? Yes, yes, and yes! We came up with cash after rifling through our wallets and the corners of our jeans pockets. Wanting to get the he'll outta there, we settled the bill and left. This was a visit which left us just happy to be out of there, even though the food was good. The hostess/server just was shamelessly shilling the product, and was focused on selling, selling, selling. Truly, that's whet what they're supposed to do...but couldn't you be conspicuous about it? We don't want to hear about banks taking percentages of your sales! Don't take credit cards, then! Not all of us carry cash anymore..or not all the time, anyway. I'm now annoyed just writing this! ^_^ Anyway, four stars for food, one star for service. Two stars total. Too bad as the food was good...very good. It goes to show that service is sometimes the deal breaker in a dining experience. That was definitely the case here. Use your judgement before coming here, but try to enjoy the great food if you do venture to this Mill Creek Mall eatery. read more

Let me begin by saying I never even got to try the food. When I got to the place it was empty, that should have been a tell sign but it really isn't because you never know. The lady that was there was unfriendly to begin with almost felt like I had to pay her to get a smile. Then we stared looking at he menu which was ok, and then ... well the plates jump from $15 to $30 for a difference between chicken or beef. We still ordered 2 plates because my mom and sister where not really hungry and they are picky and don't really like to try new things. So she tells us is $2.00 more to share! Im still questioning how can that even make any sense in anyone's mind. I never asked for extra food, if it is the extra dishwashing liquid they are worried about then don't give me extra She oran my just have 2 bites from mine, and we'll I just don't get it. Can anyone really give you a legit reason for this charge other than we need you to buy extra plates even if you don't eat them so we will make up this charge to force you to order more. The thing is when business create charges that are so obviously abusive and hostile towards the client one has to make a choice: Do I suck it up and give into this or do I stand up and just say nope I'm not eating here. So I just said no I'm sorry this is unreasonable, and the lady actually surprised me and said no problem have a nice day. Not in a rude way, she was just monotone. I believe places like this are the example of a terrible service, the food I don't know. Wouldn't even want to try, I'll go down the road and get Greek somewhere else. Needless to say we walked by again after we ate in the next door restaurant about an hour later and it was empty. read more
