    Food was not well cooked or presented. I was very surprised and disappointed. Especially, when the price for 3 dinners was $399+. Someone should tell Varka it’s time to rethink its purpose and get it together. This is not a top #1 restaurant for anything.

    Varka never disappoints! From the moment you walk in the service is wonderful and the atmosphere electric. Food is outstanding and well worth every penny! MY FAVORITE RESTAURANT IN BERGEN COUNTY - 5-star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I highly recommend!

    Have not had chance to visit Varka in some time, but enjoyed going back after a few years. Lunch items are always great, and the Chlilean Sea Bass Fish Sandwich was excellent, just like I remembered. Still the same great menu for the most part. Can’t wait to go back.

    Had cherry stone clams that were tough, tasteless, smelled and in chewable. The chicken was dry. Not their usual excellence.

    Hands down the best Greek restaurant! The food, the staff, the cocktails, the desserts, just all of it leaves you wanting to come back. It’s our family’s favorite restaurant.

    Prix fixe lunch was good value but on this occasion the dessert ‘doughnuts’ were stale . The cocktails were expensive and a mojito instead of being light & refreshing was surprisingly made with dark rum which wasn’t mixed well when served.

    The space is beautiful. The staff is polite and professional from the moment you step inside. I have always had wonderful meals here. I do not know of a place to get this verity of fresh fish. Appetizers to entree prepared perfectly. Deserts excellent and the staff took the extra time and effort to acknowledge a birthday celebration. The price of the fish from the display case is very high but so is the quality. If that’s too much there are other options on the menu that cost less. Happy to say I bit the bullet and had a mixed grill of fresh fish and shell fish. Absolutely amazing. Expenses but worth it to me. Well done!

    Food was outstanding, service was great except the main waiter for our table. He never inquired see if we were enjoying our meal or if we needed anything. We felt ghosted after the main entree was served and we had to ask for our check too. At the cost of the restaurant it is implied that service should be top notch.
