Best Greek Restaurants in Mountain Lakes

Maria Filippodis, the owner, and her staff go out of their way to greet each customer and make them feel like family. The decor lets you practice Greek and take photos of islands you may have visited while being tasteful and elegant. The top-notch food makes you feel as if your yiayia cooked it herself. I'm unsure when Maria has time to bake all the desserts, but she does so with great love and joy. The portokalopita was served warm as they sang Happy Birthday to me in English and Greek.

Had dinner with friends at Naxos today. Food was delicious! We all enjoyed our dinner very much. The whole Black Sea Bass dish was one of the best we’ve tasted. The Grilled Shrimp Kyklades (ladolemono, baked eggplant, tomato and feta) was so, so good! Seaside Halibut (gigantes, avocado, and kapia pepper salad, lemon-dill vinaigrette) was excellent; as was the scallops dish. Will definitely return. On our next visit, we’ll ask to be seated farther away from the bar area, which has a fantastic vibe, but for this particular dinner, we would have liked a quieter section of the restaurant as we had some catching up to do and it was a bit loud to have a conversation. Restaurant has a Beautiful ambience. The owner is very gracious. She came up to us to ask if we had enjoyed our dinner, and even took some pictures of us by the Naxos sign. Looking forward to our next dinner here!

Our waiter was very nice, he took care of us and made sure we have everything we needed

They went above and beyond to show our friend an amazing birthday and we loved that.

Visit worth staying thru dessert. Baklava cheesecake! So decadent!
