Restaurants in Greentree

Barcelona Bistro's Spanish- and Mediterranean-influenced seafood and tapas earned the elegant bistro-style restaurant a Golden Fork award from South Jersey Magazine in 2012. The restaurant lives up to its accolades with a menu built around the varied tastes, textures, and astrological signs of shareable tapas plates, which include spicy bites of chorizo frito or cool forkfuls of clam in cilantro sauce. Tortilla española earns its stripes as a Spanish classic by showcasing fried potatoes and olive oil in a fluffy egg embrace, and entrees of grilled salmon, pan-seared trout, and bright jumbo shrimp exhibit the coastal influences so integral to Iberian cuisine. The BYOB restaurant's crisp, white tablecloths and dark wood seats create a sophisticated atmosphere to impress first dates, and outdoor seating on the brick patio creates a breezy atmosphere to test the tenacity of trick candles.

Roe Thai and Japanese Contemporary Cuisine blends the culinary traditions of its namesake cultures, serving creative sushi rolls alongside classic Thai noodles and sauces. The eatery's signature rolls include the Golden Pop roll, loaded with king crabmeat, seared salmon, and creamy masago aioli, and the Kiss of Fire, with marinated shrimp, jalapeños, and caviar. Thai favorites include pad thai, pad see ew, and coconut-milk curries.

A finalist in the Best Indian category of the 2011 CityVoter awards, Laxmi's Indian Grille serves a range of dishes—from spicy meats to subtle vegetable stews—designed to please all palates. A perfume of fresh ginger, rose water, and house-made cottage cheese drifts from the bustling kitchen out into the dining room of the Main Street location, where vibrant paintings provide an elegant contrast to walls of rustic exposed stone. At both Main Street and the newly minted Tilden Street eatery, a clay tandoor oven is kept aflame throughout the day, enabling chefs to bake breads, meats, and underripe bananas to a golden patina.

Raheem Brock, a Philadelphia native and a four-year letterman at Temple University who started in 33 career football games, has always held his hometown close to his heart. That’s why, after traveling the country as a member of the Philadelphia Eagles, Indianapolis Colts, Tennessee Titans, and Seattle Seahawks, Brock returned home to open Brock’s Wings & Things. At his restaurant, diners chomp on boneless and regular wings in 16 different flavors ranging from sweet barbecue to the spicy Atomic. Seafood platters of catfish, shrimp, and whiting arrive tableside with golden fries as waiters hail-mary sliders into hungry mouths.

Thai 2 Go’s chefs draw on traditional and modern influences to concoct their own recipes for noodle dishes, curries, and sizzling stir-fries. Aromatic basil leaves, spicy chilis, and coconut milk season dishes such as pad thai and panang curry. No matter what you order, expect leftovers—even sturdy chopsticks begin to resemble toothpicks when considered beside the huge, family-size portions.

Underneath its red awning, Mexico On The Square's large front window bears the words Tacos, Burritos, and Tortas in thick block letters. Inside, the menu shows much of the same: classic Mexican dishes with a foundation of thick, housemade tortillas that envelop savory fillings, such as a carnitas sope's deep-fried pork, refried beans, and pico de gallo. The menu also includes burritos, tortas, and picaditas packed with savory steak, shredded chicken, or veggies. American favorites such as burgers and hoagies offer more familiar bites, and in the morning, omelets and egg platters provide pleasant wake-up calls that are the culinary equivalent of a rooster's soulful saxophone licks.
