Reviews for Greek Taverna in Montclair, NJ
Went here for an event an the ambiance was spectacular. The food was great but the service was okay. We did come in a huge party... and we’re divided into small tables, the waiter for our section wasn’t anything to rave about. Plenty of parking in therear, get the calamari. Read more
Came here for mothers day. The salmon with lemon potatoes were perfectly cooked. Family member got a great rare stake. All other... dishes we're fantastic. Service was very fast for such a busy period. Would definitely recommend. Read more
Really nice looking restaurant with tasty food but the service was very slow. We were seated right away but the waitress was... busy talking to her co workers for 15-20 minutes before we were asked if we were ready to order. They definitely attempted tomake up for the delay by bringing us a basket of really excellent grilled pita along with a sampling of dips. The seafood wasall cooked perfectly and came out tender and delectable. Read more
Food was great! We had an amazing time. I had the lamb kabobs and I pretty much cleaned my plate. We also really appreciate the... owner for being an equal opportunity employer! Read more
Service was not that great , our waitress just came to take our order and didn't come back until the end where she was super... friendly thinking that will get her a big tip. We ordered the mousaakaa, the sauce was bad it felt like a pie crust , theeggplant was too mushy, and we had nearly any potatoes. The meat was too finely ground. The cold appetizer for two was horriblethe olives were too dried, no body , tasteless . The platter had just one type of cheese 3 tomatoes and two red peppers thatwere way too spicy to be part of Greek cooking.the tzatziki was the only good tasting thinning this dish The only person whowas constantly checking on us was the bus boy.

Ordered lunch for take out and everything came out perfect. My order only took about 15min to make and it was 100% correct. The... packaging was durable which is always appreciated. My Horiatiki salad with chicken was fresh and tasty. My husband ordered thegyro platter and thought it was very tasty as well. Will definitely eat here again! Read more
Came here for lunch on a Thursday and had a horrible experience. The service was inexcusably bad - The waitstaff had no... knowledge of the menu (couldn’t answer basic questions about whether or not certain dishes were served hot or cold), and werestanding around behind the counter using their phones and chatting so we had to flag them down for water refills and to check onthe progress of our food. There were Atleast 5 people working in the kitchen despite there only being 2 tables in theestablishment, god knows what they could possibly be doing because it wasn’t making our food, which took 30+ minutes to comeout. The food was even worse than the service. We ordered two coffees which were both filled with grounds and sludge at thebottom of the cup - totally undrinkable at $3.50 each for an espresso sized serving. The “Greek potatoes” were over cookedboiled potatoes with no hint of lemon sitting in an oily broth - to call this Greek is honestly insulting. Even the hummus wasterrible. The only redeeming part of the meal was the warm pita bread. Don’t come here unless you want to throw your moneyaway. Read more
Ordered the grilled seafood platter, grilled octopus, and a Greek salad. It was absolutely delicious with plenty of take home... food afterward. The service was okay could have been better but the food was excellent. Just went back yesterday, 8/02/22, andservice was excellent. Read more
