We started with a stuffed portobello mushroom, baked until tender and filled with rich, savory goodness that set the tone for the night.

Seafood is a big part of the menu at Mythos and the grilled octopus is a must order. It comes perfectly charred on the outside, tender inside, with that clean, briny flavor that shows it is handled with care. It fits right in with the rest of their grilled specialties and seafood focused dishes that are meant to transport you straight to the Mediterranean coast, even though you are still in Cliffside Park.

The standout main course of the night was the lamb on the bone with fresh oven potatoes. This is classic Greek taverna food at its best. The lamb is slow cooked, deeply seasoned and so tender it falls from the bone with barely any effort. The oven roasted potatoes soak up the juices and lemon, turning into their own highlight on the plate. It is hearty, rustic and exactly what you want when you are craving a real, home style Greek meal.

Beyond the food, Mythos also includes a full bar, with wine, beer and spirits that pair well with both grilled seafood and richer meat dishes. Combined with the cozy dining room, friendly service and consistently fresh, authentic flavors, Mythos Greek Taverna in Cliffside Park NJ is an easy recommendation for anyone searching for a reliable Greek restaurant in North Jersey.
