I've seen a lot of restaurants in this exact location. I'm not sure what it is about it that they don't last. This one is definitely not my favorite, as I REALLY loved the eclectic cafe that used to be here. But this place was very good. We came here on Sunday night and brought a bottle of wine. Seriously, everyone in the place brought a bottle of wine. I'm glad we did too, or I would've felt left out! The food was definitely delicious, although the menu didn't have much variety. I was a little disappointed about that. Luckily, they had an extensive list of specials that night (I'm hoping this is every night). I ordered the scallops from the specials and they were good. Not the best I'd ever had but definitely far from the worst. I was much more pleased with our appetizers. We both had the Avgolemeno Chicken soup and that was so so tasty. I love lemon flavors a lot when I'm eating and this soup was spot on. It also wasn't too heavy on the potatoes (I've read that you can use anything from noodles to rice to potatoes as a thickener). I'm glad they went easy on them. We also had the grilled octopus which we both thought was very delicious because it wasn't rubbery in any way. It was surprisingly tender. Overall, it was a decent experience. It was very noisy but there's really nothing the restaurant can do about that since the place is so small. Would I come back here again? No, probably not. Would I recommend it to someone? Sure.
This new Greek restaurant in Maywood is worth a visit. It is located right on Maywood Ave, but there is a private parking lot which is convenient. Decor inside is simple but nice.
I had lunch there over the weekend. I enjoyed the complimentary seasoned pita and red pepper hummus. I ordered the chicken souvlaki in pita for my main, which came with fries on the side. The fries were nicely seasoned with some herbs and a light coating of parmesan. The souvlaki in pita was delicious – the tsatziki sauce, tomatoes, lettuce and grilled chicken hit the spot. Portions are large – my friend ordered a small Greek salad with gyro meat and took home about half. I want to return and try more of the menu.
Word of mouth is everything and my co-worker heard about this restaurant from someone else in our office, so we decided to give it a try.
It's pretty close to our office, which is always a factor since we are only allotted a limited time for lunch.
Angelo's Greek Taverna is located near the train tracks and has a private parking lot. When we stopped in on Monday, we were immediately seated and the server greeted us right away. He was super attentive and friendly, and helped us pick out items from the menu.
The food was awesome and plentiful. My co-workers ordered different items off the menu (gyro served in pita) and I ordered the gyro platter. I had so much food that I had enough to bring home for another meal. The gyro meat was super tasty and tender, perfectly seasoned. The vegetables were grilled nicely and garnished with a balsamic glaze. The pita bread was warm and well-toasted, served with roasted red pepper hummas. Everything is made on premise, and it is obvious in the quality of the food that a lot of attention and love goes in to what they serve.
We are really looking forward to going back soon to try other items off the menu and will definitely be spreading the word about this new restaurant.
Beautiful, clean and delicious place for lunch. Everything we tried had good flavor and size: Greek salad, spanakopita, french fries, souvlaki. Very sweet service.
My family and I stopped in on a Sunday evening for a birthday celebration. We made a reservation for 7:30, arrived on time and were seated promptly. Our table was ready to go! Our waitress came right over, handed us our menus and took our drink order. What a doll she was! So sweet, and so attentive! There were 7 of us so we ordered the sampler to split. All the dips/spreads were delicious! I could have eaten the Tzatziki sauce with a spoon! Have no fear, if you run out of pita (home made pita) to dip, they will gladly bring you over some more! No extra charge! For dinner we ordered various meals. The gyro platter, the roasted chicken special, the shrimp special, the spinach pie, and the moussaka, just to name a few! Everything was delicious! The moussaka was awesome! Layers of eggplant, meat and of course beschmel sauce – heaven!
The service is great! You can tell that they take pride in their food and their attention to detail is on point!
Atmosphere- bright orange walls! Makes you happy, instantly!
If you're in the area, you should most certainly stop by! Your tastebuds will thank you!!
Enjoy!!
I was looking for some Greek food on a Sunday night last month but my go to spot, Sofia's in Hasbrouck Heights, was closed. I did a Yelp search and Angelo's popped up. I was quite shocked because I live so close and never saw this place but the few reviews I saw were very good so I gave it a shot and I'm so happy I did.
This place scored three major points with me before I even stepped foot inside. It's very close to my house, it's open on Sundays, and it's a BYO. We were the only ones in the restaurant but many people kept coming in to pick up orders. I ordered the Moussaka which came played very lovely with a cinnamon stick and flower on top. It was rich and delicious with all the great spices it should have and it was enough for dinner plus another meal. My companion ordered the Gyro platter which came with more meat than I've ever seen anywhere. Along with rice, vegetables in pita bread, it was enough for her to have three meals!
Everything was fantastic, the staff was very very friendly and gracious. We will surely be back soon.
So, I really like Sofia's in HH but I think the grilled octopus appetizer here at Angelo's might be a bit better! Other than that, my experience is that the two restaurants are in a neck-n-neck race as far as quality and abundance of food! I can understand why the great reviews are piling up fast for this spot. Definitely give them a try. Convenient parking lot is a plus too. And they deliver! Awesome!
An authentic Greek restaurant which has been opened for less than a month. Restaurant is clean and beautiful with warm orange and blues. Open kitchen/grill for those concerned about smelling like food.
We started with the grilled octopus and it was plump, juicy and tasty. Very well done! Chicken souvlaki could use a bit more salt but gyro meat was packed with flavor. Can't wait for them to start their specials menu with hopes for grilled whole fish options.
Private parking lot and byob for your convenience.
