Greek Restaurant Lefkes Opening Soon In Englewood Cliffs

ENGLEWOOD, NJ — Lefkes, a restaurant specializing in Greek cuisine, will open later this month.

The restaurant will be at 495 Sylvan Ave., where the American Cut steakhouse used to be, near the entrance to the Palisades Interstate Parkway.

The two-story, upscale restaurant will feature a menu that combines new- and old-world ingredients to provide a unique take on Greek cuisine.

Lefkes will have a spacious dining space with a raw bar lounge, an outdoor patio with a fire pit, and private rooms for corporate events and family celebrations. It is taking over the space at 495 Sylvan Ave. from the American Cut steakhouse.

Lefkes will be open at 11:30 a.m. seven days a week. It will be open until 11 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays, 1 a.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 11 p.m. Sundays.

"I'm thrilled to bring traditional and unique Greek dishes created with a gastronomic passion and integrity for time-honored and modern Mediterranean meals to Englewood Cliffs," said Stavros Aktipis, owner of Kellari Hospitality Group and proprietor of Lefkes. "The Lefkes team looks forward to providing a top-notch dining experience to its patrons."
