The Garden State is incredibly diverse, with a variety of nationalities having a major impact on exactly how New Jersey is, particularly when it comes to the extensive choice of international food patrons can enjoy. A favorite for many is Greek cuisine, with a number of delicious restaurants that can savor a sliver of the Greek islands year-round. Based on the staples of the Mediterranean diet, its culinary culture became more sophisticated as part of the Byzantine and the Ottoman Empire, receiving many influences at the crossroads where the East and the West meet. Located on Main Street in the heart of Ridgefield Park since 2004 and named after the owner’s hometown, Sparta Taverna is a family-style BYOB establishment. A reservation was easily made for dinner via OpenTable. Upon entering this cozy, casual, and inviting vibe as first-timers to celebrate an early birthday, my partner, our friends, and I were greeted by the staff and got a table immediately surrounded by hand-painted Greek scenes. Their menu was extensive, with the iconic favorites such as gyros, souvlaki, and other comfort food dishes with vegetarian options. As appetizers, we decided on the Dolmadakia - Stuffed Grape Leaves, Saganaki Cheese, and Fried Calamari. For entrees, we opted for Sparta Beef Gyro Pita, Chicken Chipotle on Gluten-Free Wrap, Spanakopita, Hamburger, Pastichio, and Sparta Fries. For dessert, the rice pudding with a birthday candle arrived, and we shared a slice of carrot cake. Complimentary pita bread with garlic hummus started our meal. Our food was authentically made fresh using healthy ingredients with bold flavors, making it one of the most delightful meals. The portion was a healthy size. The service was friendly and gracious without being overbearing; our server was Carolina. The price was reasonable for the area. Another exceptional dining experience for the book, which we can recommend.

A simple restaurant with tasty Greek dishes. We tried the skordalia, moussaka, and spanokopita. When we came without wine or beer the server directed us to two local places. He brought out chilled glasses for our beer and refrigerated the remaining bottles while we ate. He packaged up the rest for us to take home. A very enjoyable spur of the moment decision to try this restaurant!

The food was delicious, the waiters were friendly and attentive. The only downside to this place is that the food took forever to come out. So go if you have the time. It's worth it!

Sparta is what I call "good cheap eats." It was well worth driving from Westchester, paying the GWB toll, and taking the time to get there, because our meal cost us only about $40 per person and was quite delicious. Add in some wine we brought (Sparta is a BYOB place), the dinner cost my wife and I about $100. Now .... let's be clear. We're not talking gourmet. The meatball appetizer was excellent ... absolutely delicious. Spanikopita was also quite good, and our friends said their Mousaka and Pasticio were excellent. My lamb kebab was good ... meat was a bit tough, but nicely flavored. Our baklava for desert was just okay. Don't come expecting much ambiance. But that's not what you're here for. This is, after all, good cheap eats.
