Rizes Greek Taverna — Restaurant in Hillsborough Township

10/10 would recommend. The atmosphere in Rizes felt like a classic taverna in Greece. Fantastic service, with the owner Dimitri greeting us at the door and checking in on us while we ate. The food was delicious and authentic. We got a bunch of appetizers for the table: the horiatiki salad, the calamari, the tyrokafteri dip with pita, the saganaki, and the kolokithokeftedes. The salad and calamari were so fresh, with the calamari having a delicious bread coating and not tasting rubbery at all. The tyrokafteri was not too spicy and had a good amount of pita to go with it. The flaming saganaki had a light crunch and was perfectly melted on the inside. The kolokithokeftedes were large pieces that paired great with the tzatziki. We also got an order of gemista and a side of lemon roasted potatoes, both of which were cooked just right with a delicious blend of Greek spices. My personal favorite was the portokalopita we got for dessert. The presentation was beautiful, and it tasted just as great as it looked. The fact that it was brought to us perfectly warmed up shows me they know what they’re doing at Rizes. I’ll definitely be...

My wife and I had an amazing experience at Rizes Greek Taverna during their soft opening! Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious — from the crispy calamari and tender grilled octopus to the fresh Greek salad and zucchini fritters with tzatziki, every dish was full of authentic flavor. We also had the paidakia (grilled baby lamb chops) with Greek lemon fries — the paidakia were cooked to perfection, juicy, tender, and full of that classic Greek taste. To finish, we shared the galaktoboureko, and it was absolutely delicious — the perfect sweet ending to a wonderful meal.

The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the owner Dimitri is a great guy who clearly takes pride in his food and in making guests feel at home.

If you’re looking for genuine Greek hospitality and incredible food, Rizes Greek Taverna is a must-visit. We can’t wait to go back...

Great new spot for great Greek food! I went to the soft launch with my family had such an amazing experience. The food was delicious, service was impeccable, and the staff was friendly, and even cracked a few jokes with us! We ordered a plethora of appetizers, the kolokithokeftedes were some of the best I’ve had. For my meal I ordered the souvlaki platter and it was well cooked, juicy, and flavorful. The sides of fried potatoes, warm pita bread, and fresh tzatziki completed the meal perfectly. For anyone with a sweet tooth, the desserts definitely hit the spot at the end of the meal!

My sister is gluten free and there were plenty of options for her to choose from. Anyone with food restrictions or allergies, there’s something for you!

It truly felt like we were a part of the Rizes family from the start. Highly recommend for...
