    Reviews With Photos - Hellenic Greek Kitchen

    José A.

    I love Hellenic Greek Kitchen. Today was the third time I come here, and the food and service were as good as the previous times.  This restaurant is located on South End, one of the hottest areas in Charlotte. It is centrally located with other business around within walking distance. There are paid and affordable street parking spots nearby.  The menu offers a good variety of options. In addition to the regular menu, they offer a lunch menu with two combo options. That is exactly what I went for today. I got the Spicy Dip & Pita and the Chicken Pita. I also got an Arold Palmer to drink. Everything was delicious! I mean, it was really delicious.    The price was pretty affordable, the service was professional and friendly, all common areas, including the restrooms, were clean. Overall, 100% recommended and can't wait to come back!

    This has become my favorite restaurant. I love the quality and consistency of the food, the charm and vibe of the restaurant and the friendliness of the workers. I joined friends tonight for dinner. Zach was our server and he was phenomenal. See you all soon!!

    Zucchini chips were lightly fried and had a combination of a crunch w/softness in the middle. They weren't oily and the tzatziki was delightfully light and refreshing. The portion size seemed much smaller than all the other pictures. The salad dressing is very strong mustard flavor. It was okay mixing the vegetables and the lamb. The gyro meat was well seasoned. Some of mine was grisly and concerned me that i had bit into something that was like a rock. The french fries are not made in house. The crisp on them was like the zucchini chips very light but still crunchy. Both the fries and chips could have used salt. They didn't have any. It's a very clean, white kitchen style interior. The bench height at the table is high esp in comparison to the table. The service was quick and very helpful. Really enjoyed our visit.

    Earned their rating - friendly service and everything was delicious! Would go again! It wasn't on the menu but I was able to get split protein upon request (for $1.50 up charge)

    What an incredible Greek kitchen! I finally had the chance to visit last night with my friend, who's a regular along with her partner. They live in the apartments above and always rave about how convenient it is to have such a gem right downstairs--and now I totally get why. We ordered a little "girl dinner" spread and shared three dips, the crispy zucchini chips, and (not pictured) the chicken and pesto couscous main. Everything was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was just as lovely--we sat outside, enjoyed the warm evening, and had the best time catching up over great food. But honestly, what stood out just as much as the food was the staff. Every single person we interacted with was incredibly sweet, attentive, and genuinely kind. You can tell they take pride in what they do and care about making guests feel welcome. Their energy really added to the whole experience. I can't wait to go back!

    First time at this very nice restaurant and I came away impressed. Very good and fast service, lots of fresh selections, and all the food was hot and tasty! Will be back for sure.

    Authentic and delicious. The food was fresh and almost as good as what I had in Santorini Greece a couple years ago. Fabulous wine selection too. Really beautiful inside. Blue and white Greek style but done tastefully. Bright and light, and also cozy at the same time. Hostess and waitstaff very nice. A little slow on service but the place was packed and it was worth the weight regardless. Highly recommend you check this place out!

    Food was amazing, wasn't expecting much, but it surpassed my expectations. Got the Lamb Pita and the Ionian drink, both were delicious.

    Best Greek food I've ever had, hands down! WOW is all I can say to properly express my delight with Hellenic. We came in for lunch on a late Saturday afternoon and honestly we expected it to be packed. But it wasn't! The restaurant is beautiful and conveniently located on the corner. There's also patio seating but we opted for the bar. Of course, we started out with a drink. My friend had the Athena and I the Baklava Old Fashioned. Delicious! We adored our bartender Hailey and she told us the Athena was quite sweet, which we're not a fan of, so she doubled the lemon and it was perfect. Food - Oh man my mouth is watering in reflection as I write this! I ordered the Chicken Pita with Greek fries, and my friend the Lemon Chicken platter. I've never had Tzatziki THIS delicious. There's a level of spice to it that's unmatched. And the consistency is more like an aioli. I could put this on everything. The portions are huge! I cannot believe how reasonable their prices are, too. We were tempted to have dessert but were too full to do so, but they looked divine. I'll be over here dreaming about this place until further notice/I can make it back. I'd honestly drive the hour and a half from Greensboro happily just to eat here again! 1000/10!

    They accommodated our group of five around their full reservation schedule. Clean, modern, comfortable setting. Great service and the food was delicious. They may have brought me a bowl instead of the salad but it was all good. Thanks!

    An absolute GEM! Visited on a Friday at 12pm with coworkers and we were BLOWN away! Firstly, the hostess and waitress were very friendly and efficient. Our waitress gave great recommendations. Nice cute Greek kitchen located in South End. The food was phenomenal! We started off with the Geeek fries. They were crispped to perfection and seasoned perfectly with Feta. If your not a feta person I would not recommend the Greek fries. Next we sampled the Taziki, hummus and spicy feta. DELICIOUS! It came with a selection of cucumbers and pita bread. Our favorites were the hummus and taziki. It was all very tasteful. I ordered the Mediterranean bowl. I switched the arugula with romaine lettuce and added the quinoa. It was very delicious. Very fresh and I did not even need to add the dressing to it. It was not dry at all and the added chicken blended everything together! Such a great restaurant and I recommend it. I will definitely be returning to try other things on their menu.

    This is a super cute little restaurant that we visited for lunch on Father's Day. We actually had no fathers in the group but I did an online search for the best calamari in town and this restaurant popped up. Upon arrival we were promptly seated at a table against the wall. It wasn't too busy with two other tables dining inside, and one outside. There were a few tables that needed to be bussed but sat dirty for most of our meal which wasn't a huge deal but just kind of an eyesore seeing as it wasn't busy. There was one waitress working and a shift change as we saw some of the other staff members rotate. The food took a little time to come out. The calamari came first and the lemon chicken with Greek fries came shortly after. The calamari was great. Very fresh and flavorful and it was hot, hot,hot. The lemon chicken was also good. You could really taste the lemon. The fries, well, they weren't great. The first batch was cold and soggy. We asked for a new side and they too were cold. I think the lemon juice on top cools them off or something because the waitress swore they had just come out the fryer. I'd probably skip ordering those next time. Anyways, our waitress was great. She was knowledge of the menu and had an upbeat and inviting personality. Minus the fries, the food was an overall hit and the restaurant is someplace I would come back to in the future. Note: They do have an outdoor patio with plenty of fans and they offer free parking in the garage behind the building.

We were a walk in but were able to score a table outside which was perfect. The drinks are good and the staff members work as a team so there's not one primary waitress. I ordered a custom drink where I told the server what I liked and the bartender created something based on my likes. It was a "fruity" tequila based drink and I enjoyed it. We were given a bowl of complementary kettle corn to enjoy with our drinks. The music was a mix of r&b and hip hop and was loud enough to vibe but didn't overpower the conversations.

There's outdoor seating, and initially we wanted to sit outside but we didn't have reservations. Luckily, they seated us at a small corner section near the back of the bar. It's very cozy and intimate inside. Just my type of vibe. The service was top tier. They were unable to validate our parking because of some sort of discrepancy with the signage outside and lack of having the proper equipment for validation. To make up for it, they offered us complimentary champagne to start. We were not expecting that, and pleasantly surprised! Their menu has an eclectic selection of cocktails, both full and mini. We opted to order from the mini cocktail menu, and we each ordered two drinks. I had the Creepy cucumber cocktail and it was refreshingly sweet and probably my favorite drink of the night. I also ordered the Don't Shy Away which was a sour and spicy rum concoction with carrot in it. It was definitely spicy and had a puréed texture. I really enjoyed it. And, then don't get me started on the music!!! The dj was masterful. He played all the types of music I love and he mixed them in such a refreshing way. I ended up asking him for his contact information before leaving, and whether he does weddings because my fiancé and I are currently looking for a DJ. He was just that good. This would definitely be my spot if I lived here in Charlotte. It was the perfect way for us to end the night.

EDIT (5/27/28): When we entered and sat down, to the bartenders credit, he swiftly asked us what we wanted. As we were describing the general vibe of the drinks we wanted, the attitude of the bartender manifested as very condescending and lacking in general back-and-forth discourse. Despite the dismissive attitude, but after the drinks were made, we attempted to thank the bartender, but his only response was a derisive chortle before walking off. For the remainder of our stay, he was flirting with some female patrons at the other end of the bar. Sharing pictures, conversation, and general good service while we were ignored until we asked for the check to pay and leave as quickly as possible.
