We went there for Mother’s Day. Nice food and good atmosphere. Specially octopus dish(appetizer) was delicious. All of us loved it! My husband and mother in law loved the grilled cheese a lot which is appetizer too. I loved my food that is in photo I uploaded and it was amazing. I love their meat (how they cook) and sauce..

Awesome place to eat, fair pricing. Great service. Space inside needs to be more accommodating. The guy seating behind me had to have his chair against mine. I gad no room to move, it was uncomfortable. Aside from that, food was excellent

Ambeli is everything a good restaurant is supposed to be! Delicious food, attentive (but not overly attentive) service and owners who spend time making sure every costumer is cared for. Went here with our son who had taken his gramma and sister here two separate times. His dad and I were so excited to try it after all the rave family reviews! We ordered the grilled octopus salad, shrimp/Garides Saganaki, moussakas and salads. Every dish was so good! We had a fabulous time and a delicious dessert to end our anniversary celebration out to dinner with family. Thank you Peter and Dino! We will definitely be back whenever we’re in the area visiting our son!

We love Ambeli, so it was the only option for where to have my sister’s bridal shower! Everyone LOVED the food. There were 2 appetizers and a salad- served family style. Each guest was able to pick from 5 different entrees for their meal. Desserts, coffee. A very impressive amount of food and selection.

One of the best Greek restaurants I have been to. The food was fresh and amazing, the service was spectacular and the ambiance was fantastic. Food was perfectly cooked and presented. Friends took me here for my birthday. The owner checked on us several times and didn’t rush us out as we sat for hours. A large platter of desserts and coffee were on the house for our table from the owner for the celebration. Will definitely be returning. Places this intimate with great food and service is hard to find – highly recommend!.

As a Greek who craves the authentic flavors of home, Ambeli Greek Taverna has become my go-to destination with my family every weekend. Nestled in Westfield this charming restaurant offers a truly remarkable dining experience that rivals any Greek establishment in Astoria, New York. From the moment you step through the door, you are greeted with warm hospitality and a genuine sense of Greek culture. Chris, the owner, is a master at his craft and his dedication to running a top-notch restaurant is evident in every aspect of Ambeli’s operation. He personally extends his warm greetings to every table, making you feel like part of a big Greek family. Now, let’s talk about the food! Each dish at Ambeli is a divine culinary journey that transports you to the sun-kissed islands of Greece. The Lavraki and Tzipoura fish, accompanied by lemon potatoes, are my personal favorites. The fish is always fresh, perfectly cooked, and bursting with Mediterranean flavors. Every bite is a testament to the expertise of the kitchen staff, who meticulously follow authentic recipes passed down through generations. The menu at Ambeli Greek Taverna is a treasure trove of Greek delights. Whether you’re a fan of traditional moussaka, succulent souvlaki, or heavenly baklava, you’ll find it all here. The attention to detail and commitment to quality are unmatched. It’s no wonder that every dish tastes as if it were flown directly from Greece. Beyond the exceptional food, the service provided by Peter, Mixalista and the rest of the staff is impeccable. Their professionalism and genuine friendliness add to the overall dining experience. You can tell that they take pride in their work and strive to ensure that every customer leaves with a smile on their face. Lastly, Ambeli Greek Taverna has captured my family’s heart to the point that I willingly make an hour-long drive just to savor their delectable offerings. This speaks volumes about the authenticity of their cuisine, as I have tried other Greek restaurants near me only to be disappointed by their lackluster and unauthentic flavors. If I could, and I trully mean this, I would wholeheartedly support the owner’s endeavor to expand this remarkable establishment through a series of chains. Ambeli Greek Taverna is a hidden gem that deserves to be shared with more people, allowing them to experience the true taste of Greece without having to travel overseas.

The service here is great! You automatically feel very welcome and cared for. I saw the owner run out to give someone their phone they had left behind. They clearly care a lot here! The seasoning on the meat (pork souvlaki in particular) was awesome. One of the sides we had was too salty, but overall I enjoyed the food and look forward to trying more dishes.

We went to Ambeli’s for dinner last night and had such an amazing experience! The food and service are truly amazing and the owner, Chris, walks around greeting and talking to all the clients. He was such a friendly person and made us feel like we were guests in his home. The octopus is literally chef’s kiss, as is pretty much anything else on the menu! You can’t go wrong with anything at Ambeli’s. We’ll be back soon!
