We stopped for a bite to eat and nestled amongst the other diners. There was nothing around to say wait to be seated, but I thought I'd double check after we'd sat ourselves down. The team gave me a quick dismissive, it's fine we'll be over soon. It would appear the definition of soon can vary. But that aside, we ordered. And to be honest, then came another very long wait. I was a little disappointed with my order of calamari - I thought with it being a Greek establishment it would be delivered in the traditional style. But this was not to be (I should have checked). Having said that it was an enjoyable meal and I certainly got some assistance from Master 1 with the chips. He devoured the children's pancake and inhaled my chips - so he was happy. If you're not time poor this would be a great spot for a lazy lunch. But certainly not somewhere I'd take children due to the wait times. When going in to pay you get to admire their sweets and there is something in there to suit every sweet tooth. Enjoy.

The vibe is lively and warm -- exactly what you'd expect from an authentic Greek spot in Oakleigh's Eaton Mall. There's a great buzz with plenty of chatter and energy, making it perfect for a casual dinner with friends or family. Whether you're seated indoors or outside, the atmosphere feels welcoming, relaxed, and social -- the kind of place where you instantly feel comfortable. Service was friendly and generally prompt, even on a busy night. Our food came out quickly, and the staff were attentive throughout the meal. While we've heard it can slow down during peak times, that wasn't our experience at all -- we felt well looked after. The food was the real standout. Greek classics like the gyro and souvlaki were packed with flavor, served in generous portions, and paired with super fresh pita bread. The mixed grill and meat skewers were juicy, well-seasoned, and cooked just right. The dips, especially the tzatziki, added a perfect creamy balance. Portions are hearty and satisfying -- come hungry. While not every dish was flawless, the overall quality and flavor easily made up for it. All in all, it's a fantastic spot for casual Greek food with solid service and a vibrant atmosphere. We'd absolutely return to try more from the menu.

Ready to satisfy that pizza craving without the added pizza guilt? Get your butt to The Moor's…read moreHead. What they save in calories and carbs, they serve you in taste. From the pictures, it does look like this is a canoe pizza creation. But fear not, it's all an optical illusion that anyone can tackle. No tomato sauce, no cheese, no traditional shape? Must be inauthentic. Which is exactly what Moor's Head call their boat shaped pizzas. I was trying to have a meat-free weekend, so from the "inauthentic" pizza side of the menu, I was in between the Istanbuli, the Shams of Tabriz and the Omar Sharif which all caught my eye. I ruled out Omar, he had three cheeses going on that I wasn't ready to commit to. With the hint that the Istanbuli was their most popular, I went with the masses. Oh my was it good. It's a refreshing change from what you thought you knew about pizza. On pide (Turkish bread) there was pumpkin, spinach, caramelised onion, tahini yoghurt, dukkah and parsley. Altogether it was yum, filled with taste. Because the two of us shared one pide, or inauthentic pizza, we wanted to try something on the sweeter side. The Jamil came to us in it's cute triangle shape. It was stuffed with ricotta and honey with walnuts to add some crunch and a helping of nougat ice cream right on top that melts it's way into the dessert as you eat it. I left with a light-no regrets feeling, already contemplating my next visit.

Healthy, somewhat balanced meals, (for a kebab) and fairly much in unison with the prices of other kebabs products in Melbourne. All that one would come to expect from such a shop. Tasty meals at a reasonable price. Soft bread, and the the kebabs don't suffer so much form being overly chewy. There's also a whole selection of sauces or dips you can add, as well as salads on the side. They also do breakfast, which isn't common at other shops. A surprising find, and worth the trip in.
