    Gyro bowl
    Emile L.

    Excellent Greek wraps and bowls. The falafel pita was great. Fries on the inside. The gyro bowl was also really good. Could not finish all of it. Will definitely be going back to try the rotisserie chicken and all of the baked goods.

    I first tried The Gyro Project at the location by my job in NYC because my coworkers boasted about it so it was only right to try the OG location in Fort Lee. The food was equally as delicious and full of flavor. The prices are pretty normal with the pita being $12.95. The portion size is big and I end up full not finishing all of it yet but I always want to finish it all. I love the french fries too! They're my fav type. The look of this location is way cuter and bigger than the midtown NYC location. They took the aesthetic of Greece with the flowers. It's so spacious! The service was also great just like the other location. Very welcoming and making sure you have a great experience. I'll definitely be back!

    Always fresh, delicious Greek food. Quick service. Bright, cheery blue and white decor. Plenty of seating for small or large groups.

    Feed me gyros and tell me I'm pretty!!! The Gyro Project is a fast casual Greek restaurant in Fort Lee, NJ. I've been coming here for a little over a year to satisfy my cravings. The menu has a large variety of options - appetizers, salads, wraps, build-your-own bowls, pitas, platters, rotisserie chicken, etc. They also have baked goods, coffee, and desserts. A small section of the restaurant has merchandise and imported Greek cooking products for sale. I've tried a little bit of everything on the menu. Some are hits while some are misses. The prices are a little steep and they get higher every year. I will say... everything is freshly prepared and the ingredients are high quality. The portion sizes are also on the generous side, so the price is worth it. These are my absolute favorite menu items: *Bifteki Platter $20.95 (includes three patties, hand-cut fries, Mediterranean salad, tzatziki, and pita bread) - WOW, this has to be my #1 favorite dish here! The bifteki (baked beef patties) were so juicy and tender. They were like giant meatballs seasoned to perfection with herbs (mint, oregano, parsley). I squeezed some lemon and olive oil on top and every bite was HEAVEN. The pita bread was warm and fluffy. I loved how fresh the salad was. *Greek Club Sandwich $19.95 (includes chicken gyro, tomatoes, onions, mozzarella, sauce, and pita bread with hand-cut fries) - What a delicious sandwich! The pita was nice and crispy (similar to a panini). The chicken was smoky and savory. Their hand-cut fries are to die forrr - hot and crunchy! *Frozen Yogurt $6.95-$10.95 - Sometimes I come here JUST to get a cup of froyo. Yes, it's THAT good - the froyo texture is just right. Not too icy and not too watery with a smooth and creamy texture similar to soft serve ice cream. They only have two flavors (vanilla and Greek tart), but they offer specialty toppings. A small cup is more than enough for one person. *Rice Pudding $6.95 - I wish the portion size was bigger because I could eat this nonstop! The pudding is sweet, creamy, and milky with subtle notes of vanilla and cinnamon. Many customers order for pick-up/take-out, but you can also choose to dine in. The interior is stunning and almost makes you forget you're in a fast casual eatery. The hanging light fixtures, flowers, plants, marble tabletops, and wooden furniture transport you to the Mediterranean. The staff is always super welcoming, friendly, and helpful. Everyone greets you with a smile! I'm a creature of habit, so I tend to order the same items once I love them. But there's so many other options here that I just have to try more! My wallet thinks it's worth it :')

    Fast casual Greek food. Food was fresh and came out quickly. You can order, they give you a number and you pick a seat. They bring the food to you. There is ample seating + sunlight. Overall the food could use more flavor, the lemon potatoes needed a little more salt and maybe garlic + herbs? The rotisserie chicken was on the dry side and could have used less time rolling in heat. The salad was perfect! A fresh, tasty accompaniment to the chicken. Also the spinach + feta "spring rolls" were an interesting idea and super flavorful. But of course, how could anything fried be bad? For dessert we had The OG froyo. Good + sweet and the perfect ending for dinner. I wish the yogurt was a little more tart, it was on the sweeter side, but still delicious. Overal, I'll definitely be back!

    First time here. So exited!!!

    Delivered order -Food: One Box of Six Sticks Chicken Souvlaki: it comes with more than enough food for three people. Has a lot of pita Bread ( I guess?!) , lemon slices. Six sticks of the most wonderful, fresh & flavorful Chicken cubes. Oh my. I think this is the best grilled chicken I've ever tried in my whole life, really. I also brought a side of lemon potatoes were too juicy and combined perfectly chicken main plate. On the side, you get soft but flavorful Tzatziki Thank You very much for fulfill my cravings today. Today is my day off. And I really appreciate this delicious food. Keep doing a wonderful job. My blessings to all the team. Thank you again.

    Pork belly platter
    Stephanie F.

    Absolutely delicious! We tried the pork belly platter and the lamb, and both were cooked to perfection--tender, flavorful, and packed with that mouthwatering char. The sides were just as impressive--fresh, vibrant, and the perfect complement to the meats. The location couldn't be better--plenty of parking, beautiful decor that sets the vibe, and music that's top tier. You can tell they put thought into every detail, from the food to the atmosphere. Everything tasted so fresh and well-seasoned, and the service was just as great as the meal. Portion sizes were generous, and the whole experience was an absolute win. We'll definitely be coming back!

    Falafel - Appetizer
    Yuna C.

    Great space with many table options and beautiful interior! There were more people coming as time passed and the line was almost never empty! I had heard great things about their frozen yogurt but the food was also delicious. I got the appetizer size falafel which was very filling and the Green Goddess sauce was delicious - so much so I took it home. The OG Fries were nothing I haven't tried before but I appreciated how crispy the fries were even with the soft feta blocks. I got the TGP Classic with original frozen yogurt - you also have the option to have it with vanilla frozen yogurt, which is sweeter and creamier. But the tartness of the frozen yogurt paired deliciously with the smooth olive oil. I was tempted by the Dubai Chocolate so I'll have to try it next time!

    Souvlaki Platter
    Sellina Y.

    We ordered for take out on a rainy overcast day and was surprise when I walked into the restaurant for pick up- clean, brightly lit with lots of lights, and all around wonder ambiance! Food is of high quality, portions are generous, and beyond my expectations. I personally ordered "I'll Have The Salmon" platter is so filling, it could easily be two meals. The grilled salmon is cooked perfectly and sides included are delicious! My only suggestion- Some of the potatoe pieces were too large and the flavors wasn't infused into the center. My husband ordered their "Souvlaki Platter"- a chicken entree with a side of falafel add-on. He has a big appetite but unable to finish the meal in one go due to the large portion. He'd order this dish again, very palatable. And talking about what we'd order it again, it is their OG fries loaded with feta cheese! Yum!! Their soft serve is a must try, we ordered their Samoa vanilla soft serve loaded extra crunchy coconut chips, chocolate and caramel drizzles!!!

    Souvlaki Platter
    Quiana W.

    This area is no short of Mediterranean spots and this one did not disappoint. Its sort of a fast food gyro spot however they had a pretty extensive menu. The interior of the Gyro Project was very bright and welcoming. The menu is a little overwhelming so I would look at it ahead of time. There are plenty of options to choose from. I ordered take out and ordered the chicken souvlaki platter served with fries, salad and tzatzik. It was very good. I ate some of it in the car but took the rest home. I've also had delivery and I dont feel it travels well. I think the platters are better fresh when eaten there. Otherwise this is a great greek fast food place with friendly staff eager to answer any questions.

    David N.

    Wow! Place is definitely amazing! Great food and wonderful, friendly staff. I had the half rotisserie chicken plate and a side of lamb/beef gyro. Food was on point coming out fresh and hot! Will definitely be back when I visit from CA!

    Greek club sandwich
    Michelle S.

    I wish I knew to try this sooner. I frequent the shopping strip area but never thought to stop in. I recently placed an order to go and let me just say the greek club chicken sandwich I ordered was probably one of the best if not the best I've had. It comes in a crisp delicious pita bread. The fresh cut oregano fries that come with it made the perfect meal. Big, generous portion. Can't wait to try the rest of their menu. Presentation and packaging was well put together.

    Great food, we ordered and less than 10 minutes had our food. Taste good, will come again. Music great too ambience nice and Greek music

There's plenty of seating inside if you want to dine in. The interior is modern, clean, and inviting with lots of greenery. Their menu is built on natural ingredients and bold flavors. You can choose from diverse options like salads, bowls, sandwiches, wraps, burgers, protein shakes, etc. They use grass-fed beef, free-range chicken, wild-caught seafood, and locally sourced organic fruits and vegetables. They carefully craft their recipes and every item is made with love and care! Yes, the prices are on the higher end. But I'm happy to pay for higher quality food... because what you put into your body matters A LOT ;) I've tried a little bit of everything and they're all delicious. The food is packed with vibrant flavors and generous portions of protein. My top recommendation would be the Big NY (~$16). It includes steak, onion, mushrooms, romaine, feta, and lemon cilantro vinaigrette. I usually get it on a whole wheat wrap and it is to die forrrrrrrrr!!! The steak is super juicy and tender. All of the ingredients work so well together! One bite and I was in love. I also love getting a side of baked sweet potato fries ($6). Even the ketchup they use is organic and only made with REAL tomatoes. Don't forget to grab a bottled Kombucha ($5) from their fridge - a tangy, fizzy, sweet, and refreshing drink! The owner, Mike, is the man!!! Haha he's very welcoming, personable, and really cares about customer service. He's the type of business owner that will remember your name and order.

Unlike many restaurants today, Nisiotis Taverna had pure virgin olive oil on the table in a clean white bottle which we used generously and thankfully to dip our bread into. Yum! The spreads were excellent and the pita was toasted just right and served warm. The pita was chewy, warm and well toasted. The lamb chops were grilled exactly to requested temperature and seasoned correctly. The fries that came with that were warm and crispy. Lightly sprinkled with dried oregano for that Greek flavor. The branzino was filet fresh and grilled to perfection. But I would suggest getting it with vegetables instead of potatoes, which were fine but not particularly special. They also had "off the menu" selection of sea food which were recommended and fresh. The black bass was truly as fresh as I've had in NJ, but slightly, just slightly, undercooked: A minute undercooked. This was actually good for me but some may recoil a little. Otherwise it was perfection. If you know how to eat fish, I'd ask for it whole, instead of fillet'd. The dandelions that came with it was over cooked but the mild flavor was a good compliment to the black bass. They also had large anchovies, which grilled properly would be awesome. The service was spot on but not intrusive but it wasn't busy because of our late lunch. The ambience and decor was charming and really helped to focus our minds towards beautiful beaches and warm breezes of the Greek islands, where this kind of food would be served. Overall a very good experience but slightly expensive. There was nothing wrong with the food per se but slight improvements here and there could make it fantastic: For example, vegetable was over-cooked, and black bass was just slightly undercooked. Regardless, I recommend this quaint Taverna! The owner's care and friendliness topped the scale from a four to a five star. Realistically, it is a 4.5 or 9/10.

There were a lot of empty tables awaiting reservations. The complimentary bread and olive tapenade were also appreciated. We really enjoyed the food: spanakopita ($20) was tasty with a very flaky Phyllo and a fresh salad with grape leaves and chunks of feta, things you don't normally see in a side salad. The pork souvlaki platter ($22) with fries was also very tasty. Their menu is not super big but adequate options. If you have a special occasion, this is also a good spot but be sure to make reservations and know it's a relatively small place. The atmosphere and decor are very comfortable though it can get very loud if there are a lot of customers (and these customers seemed to be enjoying their experience!); perhaps because of the small place and acoustics. BYOB. They had an entrance in the back so they likely have a small parking Iot there? But we found parking around the corner, as there's no 2 hour parking limit on weekends.

It was 5pm on a slow Monday so we were seated right away. The interior is cozy, quiet, and clean. We started with 3 Mixed Appetizers along with their complimentary warm bread. The 3 dips were all solid but nothing out of the ordinary. Good flavor, smooth & creamy texture, and great for sharing. I love ordering dishes like the Mixed Kebab Platter for Two as we get a taste of everything and it's family-style. The presentation was beautiful, the meats were tender, and I like that they paired it with rice, bulgur, and some salad. All the meats were tender and well-seasoned but could've been hotter in temperature. I particularly enjoyed the chicken & lamb adana kebabs. My other minor complaint was the sides were not enough to share and the ratio compared to the meats was off. We definitely could've used more rice with the meats. The staff were super kind & friendly the entire time. Decent try overall!

    We went there with my friends-spontaneously and really enjoyed the food. The karnıyarık had a super…read moreauthentic, traditional taste--so yummy! The only thing is, as Turkish people, we would have liked the portion to be a little bigger The ambiance is cool, but the servers forgot a few times to bring us water. Still, overall it was a great experience!

    I went to Lefkes on a Friday night and made reservations ahead of time as were a party of 13. As…read moresoon as we arrived, we were seated right away since our table was already ready, which made everything start off smoothly. This is a really good Greek restaurant with a fun, lively atmosphere. We ordered a variety of dishes mix between seafood, chicken and steak, and everything was very good. The portions were decently sized just enough to leave you full, but not quite enough for leftovers. We ordered a bottle and asked the waiter separately if it could come out with sparklers. There was a slight off vibe at first and some slight attitude but as the night went on, the sever became much friendlier and attentive. The music throughout dinner was great, and some Middle Eastern songs came on that were actually really fun to dance to. After we ate, the energy picked up even more and we were able to get up and start dancing. This is definitely a perfect birthday spot if you want a mix of good food and a fun night out. Overall, we had an amazing time, great vibes and great music.

Order the triangle cookie at your own risk. I couldn't acquire a taste for it, let alone finish it. Do not let this one pastry discourage you because you won't have issues with the other desserts. Each sweet dish is perfect in texture and packed with the perfect amount of filling! When you see the inside of the baklava and danish, you'll know what it mean. If you aren't in the mood for a dessert, try the spanakopita. It's crispy, flaky outer texture filled warm spinach will keep you satisfied every bite of the way. It tastes just as good even when it's re-heated in the oven! The pie isn't available purchase until late morning. Seating is very limited, so be expected to order your goods to go! This local bakery is highly recommended and the owners are just as pleasant as their dessert! #athensbakery #teanecknj #cedarlane #spinachpie #baklava #spanakopita #brownies

The bakery looks unremarkable, the cookies, however are not. Delicious!! It brought back memories! The ladies behind the counter are very nice. They had the Easter bread that has the boiled eggs in it also, along with Italian cookies. Worth the trip.
