Mana Greek Restaurant in Harborside delivered a lovely night of great food and warm service. From the moment we sat down, the staff were attentive and genuinely welcoming without ever hovering. We started with a fresh Greek salad and creamy hummus, both bright, well-seasoned, and perfect for sharing. For mains, the lamb chops were the standout—tender, juicy, and cooked beautifully—while the pastitsio was rich, comforting, and full of classic Greek flavor. To finish, we treated ourselves to an espresso martini paired with baklava on the rim, a fun and indulgent twist that ended the meal on a high note. Mana strikes a great balance between authentic flavors, thoughtful presentation, and a relaxed Harborside atmosphere.

This place is amazing. Everything from start to finish was so good. We had some happy hour appetizers. We also ordered the saganaki. They don’t fire it up at the table but still great. They have vegetarian options as well. The veggie paella was very tasty as well as the regular paella. The fried zucchini was delicious. The lemon chicken was amazing. The skirt steak has a sweet topping, very interesting flavor. Dessert was also so good. We had the regular baklava and the cheesecake baklava. We will definitely be going back. Be aware the place is not cheap, you will spend some money.

My husband and I absolutely love it here! So much that we had them cater our rehearsal dinner! The tzatziki is the best I’ve ever had and we love their lemon chicken, zucchini fritters, lamb, Smokey ribs and the list goes on. So many gluten free options as well! Everyone who works there is so kind and Anna was a delight to work with when coordinating our catering order. Highly recommend!

Good food, and kay service, wait to order you main meal after you finish your appetizer or they will bring everything out at once which is not what a good restaurant should do.

Service and atmosphere were excellent. We had the meat platter for two and sadly the majority of the meat was overcooked. The lamb chops were cooked correctly as well as the gyro meat but the chicken and pork were dry.

While down here for Spring Training baseball we always look for good food. Who doesn’t, right? And this place attracted us because it had a vegan dish which assured one of us could avoid dairy. AND IT WAS TERRIFIC! Beet salad and mussels, two “small plates”…no they were BIG. At least a dozen mussels, in a delicious red tomato sauce…to die for! I scooped every bit out with a spoon. The impossible burger kefte had all the flavor you could want. And no burnt meat! And before all that, a scrumptious vodka dirty martini with 2 huge feta stuffed olives. Yeah, I know, vodka not gin. But in this case that worked!

We had an absolutely incredible experience at Mana Greek Fusion last night. It was truly one of the best meals we have had in a long time. It was the kind of dinner you keep talking about for hours afterward… and even wake up still thinking about the next morning.
The evening had a brief moment of adjustment at the start, but it was handled with such care that it quickly became clear we were in great hands. The owner, Lazaros, stepped in with thoughtful, spot-on recommendations and immediately set the tone for an unforgettable meal.
We started with the hummus and falafel, both of which were outstanding. For our mains, my husband ordered the village lamb and it was comforting, rich, and unbelievably flavorful. The lemon potatoes alone were so good they convinced me to order the Mana platter with gyro, which was the perfect way to sample a little bit of everything. Every bite was excellent.
Dessert sealed the deal. The baklava was heavenly and honestly transported me straight back to my grandmother’s kitchen. Each bite was warm, nostalgic, and absolutely perfect.
Our server, Yanni, was friendly, engaging, and knowledgeable, with excellent recommendations throughout the meal. Even the food runner went above and beyond, offering suggestions for what we should try next time, which we already know will be very soon.
From start to finish, this was a memorable dining experience. We quite literallycannot wait to come back.

Please do yourself a favor and eat here! You need to get the Village Lamb! Don’t think about it, just do it! It’s slow roasted lamb, then finished to a light crisp. The Alexander the Great Sipper is a really nice, smokey cocktail to go along with the yummy food.

It was much better sitting outside then in the dining room. I found that the dining room was quite noisy and dark. The sampler platter was very enjoyable. We both got the lamb chops, they we’re very tough. They gave us some rice pudding after dinner and that was outstanding

I have lived in Greece for 15 years and in the US for over 25. I’ve tried many Greek restaurants all over the US and rarely find any I would go back to, but I’m lucky enough that near where I live in Massachusetts, there are two that I would go back to, and I do.
My wife’s parents live near this one on Florida, and took us there for dinner because they said it was really good. Well they were right. We tried several of the starter dishes and all of them were amazing. I especially loved the grilled octopus as you have to go to a good place on a Greek island to get it that well. My only complaint from the starters was the tzatziki was a bit too “Americanized” ie, stronger taste of dill and not enough taste of garlic. But she promised next time she will have one just for me. The rice pudding was also not as good as I’m used to but that was kind of expected as it is made with almond milk so it can be dairy free where as in Greece it’s made with full fat milk so you can feel the fat clogging your arteries as you eat it. Still tasty, just not like the real thing.
The lamb stew was amazing. Probably one of the best one I’ve had in my life and I lived a long time in Greece and went to several restaurants there (and worked a lot of them). They were out of the empanada which was a Greek fusion specialty they had in the menu and I was very curious to try. They were also out of the lamb chops so next time there are a couple of things I’ll have to try when I go back.
The waitress we had was also amazing and brought us water right away when we sat (which if you have read any of my previous reviews is always a big thing for me to look for) and was on top of any refills I needed before I even asked most of the time (I drink a lot of soda) and was very friendly.
If you live close by, lucky you… If you are visiting, you must stop by.
