Customer Reviews
Came here Friday night around 7PM. Wasn’t packed at all and we got seated quickly. They start you off with some bread and olive oil. Appetizers Tyrokroketes - 10/10 recommend. They are pretty much mozzarella balls, but with feta cheese. Mozzarella cheese with tomato - 10/10 recommend. Fig and Goat Cheese Flat Bread - 4/10. I usually enjoy eating flat breads. I think the bread itself was good. But the caramelized onions were not tasty to me. If you’re a fan of goat cheese, give this a try, but maybe tell them to add less onions. Entrees Lavraki - so this dish, my partner really enjoyed 10/10. We got it butterfly cut. I personally did not enjoy it. I added black pepper to it and the lemon provided. Which made it taste slightly better. This is supposed to be a “sweet delicate dish” so i
Great service and delicious food. If your craving authentic greek food this is the go to spot. I had the Soulvlaki chicken which was very good. The place was very clean and very greek ambiance with music and decor. Prices were very reasonable and large portions. Definetly will come again. Highly recommend.
This was a first Greek restaurant we have ever been to and it was a great one. The restaurant itself was inviting and well-lit. Hostess greeted us in a friendly manner. Our waitress was also friendly with lots of smiles. She explained to us some of the favorite dishes. We ended up ordering the seafood soup (Kakavia) to share, and lobster pasta (Astakomakaronada) and lamb shank (Arni Yuvetsi Kritharaki). All dishes we ordered were fantastic and flavorful. One minor ding on this great meal is that all dishes were just a little over seasoned for us. Other than that, I highly recommended and would definitely go back!
We had a fantastic experience at The Greek on Main in Metuchen. The branzino was absolutely amazing—perfectly cooked, flavorful, and one of the best I’ve had in a long time. My wife loved her scallops, which were beautifully prepared and full of fresh, vibrant flavor. The service was attentive from start to finish without ever feeling rushed. Everyone we interacted with made us feel welcome and well taken care of. Overall, a wonderful meal and a great night out. We’ll definitely be returning!
I came here with very high hope but was unfortunately disappointed. Went on a Monday lunch, there were just three other groups in the restaurant, hence almost empty. We still had to wait for over 40 mins after placing the order for the food to arrive. We ordered the lavraki and the red snapper. The lavraki was good. The red snapper was stale and smelly and was almost uncooked inside. We told the service staff. She confirmed the the snapper was 3 days old but said “we cannot do anything about it”. Felt horrible to pay close to $100 for stale uncooked fish.
