It’s Greek To Me has been a North Jersey staple for decades — and for good reason. For over 30 years, they’ve been serving the same homemade Mediterranean dishes passed down through generations. Founded in 1986 by James, Stacy, and their mother Ero, the family’s recipes still guide the kitchen today, and you can taste that tradition in every bite. Fresh, simple, authentic Greek flavors… just like YiaYia used to make. From the moment you walk in, the bright, welcoming atmosphere feels like stepping onto a sunny Greek island. It’s the perfect spot for an informal, moderately priced lunch or dinner with consistently delicious food. If you’re craving true Greek comfort food made with heart, this place never disappoints.

Absolutely marvelous service and excellent food!! Each of us enjoyed what we ordered. It all was so good we passed samples to each other of our dishes. Felt like you were in your Greek grandmother’s kitchen!!

Simple and classic Greek food, done well. Gyro could have used more browning but tasted as expected and thought the beans could use more acid. Otherwise, everything came out quick and this is a good place for lunch. The Fort Lee location has parking which is a plus.
