The most amazing Greek food ever, so much flavor! Local business needs our support more now then ever. Check these guys out, you ain’t be disappointed.
Incredible food, second time we’ve had takeaway here in recent weeks. Grilled platter was excellent, great charred flavour, and slow cooked lamb was a favourite. The most memorable dish was the grilled calamari on the olive tapenade and capers. Tender and bursting with flavour. Still thinking about it now. Great family business, locally owned. Highly recommend!
A homely, authentic and delicious Greek restaurant on Mt Alexander rd is all you need to know if you are planning on visiting.<br/ <br/ We ordered today a mixed and chicken souvlaki which went down an absolute treat. The chicken was the highlight, with a render, juicy and high quality taste whilst the lamb was good, albeit dry in SOME spots (only tiny portions were dry, the rest was very good). Compliment this with some well lathered potatoes, salad and tzatziki sauce and you have a recipe for a winner.<br/ <br/ Good food and happy experience overall. Good souvlakis, above standard by far!<br/ <br/ Food: 4/5<br/ Service: 4/5<br/ Ambience: 4/5<br/ Value: 4/5<br/ <br/ Overall: 4/5
This would be five stars. The food and people are authentic and go beyond what you see on the plate. So many of the vegetables are freshly grown locally, which is why a lot of the vegan options are seasonal. This takes great vegan food beyond just not eating animal products but also eating fresh. If you call in advance, you can also have a vegan lunch pack made up for take away. This is a restaurant I am happy to support.
I wish I could give this place 5 stars!! Sensational vegan options amazing flavors and textures, lovely staff too.
