If you're looking for a genuine Greek meal and the atmosphere of a small village or island, then this is the place to visit. Even after living in Greece for many years, this is still my go-to spot.

We enjoyed a work group lunch and ordered from the Kid's Menu as we saw how massive the equivalent full servings were. The service was quick and friendly and the food was excellent. Best hot chips in West End.

Drop in mid week or book a table for friends family for a weekend feast. You are not pressured to get the banquet if you are in a large group, they just want you to be happy. Eveything is made from scratch with fresh produce. Look for the big blue house, top of Vulture St! Plenty of street parking or 4 min bus ride ftom the cultural centre on the 199!! BYO and fully stocked. Enjoy their home made sweets a Greek coffee or bring a birthday cake! Shiftellias, octopus, grilled meats, haloumi etc... and souvla on a Fri night or Sunday lunch is a must!!

The homemade BBQ flavor of the meat dishes was a standout, although the lamb was a bit dry. We plan on returning to try the spit roast lamb, which we believe will enhance our overall experience. The salads and chips were delicious, the chicken was fantastic, and we particularly enjoyed the baby octopus. The service was lovely, and the prices were very affordable - only $36.00 for two people, including a $30 dinner plate and a $6 octopus side dish that was surprisingly filling. Overall, a classic Greek food experience that we highly recommend.
