"Stamna Greek Taverna is an absolute treasure in the heart of the Brookdale neighborhood of Bloomfield. Also located in several top Greek restaurants in North Jersey, including Lithos in Livingston, Oceanos in Fair Lawn and Varca Restaurant in Ramsey, it makes it especially that the best Greek restaurant is in my own neighborhood! Owner Alex Angela are experienced restaurant owners who also own the Nevada Diner for 30 years. Alex's vision for Stamna is the kind of comfortable, local tavern you are in every Greek neighborhood. The brand of this restaurant is high quality ingredients simply prepared in generous portions at a reasonable price. Your fish is excellent. Grilled or fried, the Tsipoura (Greek porgie) is my go-to entree and the Lavraki (important Greek bronzino). Traditional Patates Fournou (lax roasted potatoes) and Horta are not to be missed. Charcoal-grilled Paidakia (lamb chops) are juicy and delicate. On a personal note, last week I didn't think I had just missed the closing time for the kitchen. Alex randomly came to the restaurant and asked me if I wanted to eat something. Instead of keeping his kitchen staff there at the end, he insisted on preparing something for me personally. I expressed appreciation for the offer, but went back. He insisted that it was not a problem and since I was very hungry, I broke off and accepted his generous offer! He continued to come behind the stove and prepared Tsipoura and Horta for me personally! How refreshing and what a rare treat you want to find a restaurant owner to please a customer. One could imagine such an experience, perhaps in the past or in Greece today, but how rarely in today's often impersonal culture. Alex and Angela are very dedicated to creating this kind of neighborhood tavern experience in Stamna and really glare their efforts. Stamna is a restaurant experience not to miss!"
