This is a brand new Greek restaurant that has opened in a converted historic church. The menu has…read moreplenty of Greek favourites done with a light, modern style. I had the eggplant dip with flatbread to start and it was a garlicky delight. The bread was fresh and hot and I could have quite happily eaten a lot more of it. My main was a charcoal grilled whole snapper (fish of the day at market prices) served with hand cut chips, a jug of lemon butter sauce and a small Greek salad. The fish was perfectly grilled and beautifully moist inside. The chips were the real deal - no frozen crap here. The lemon butter had a pinch of herbs and was perfect with the fish. The salad was fresh and crisp and complimented the meal. Desserts drift from Greek standards but are nevertheless delicious. Their tiramisu was light (a good size serve) and their "profiterole" was nothing of the sort- lady fingers biscuits with cream and chocolate mousse topped with fresh strawberries. Delightful but not a profiterole.

The cuisine was as advertised, modern with a traditional kick. Everything we ordered was brilliant. Presentation and taste were everything expected and more. Service staff were prompt, polite and attentive and the ambiance was lively and energetic, but personal enough that we didn't have to yell to each other for conversation. Definitely going back, again and again. Congratulations to the owners and all of the staff. You have done yourselves and Penrith proud.

Traditional Gyradiko has opened up in Rosebery!!!!…read more I've heard about this place out in Bexley but since that's a bit of a trek...never made it out there. Well hot damn I'm so glad it just opened up out this way. You can get takeaway or eat in...if you eat in you can bring the whole family as there's plenty of space. They serve alcohol too...what's not to like? You can get a gyro for $9, and if you want chips and a drink just tack on $5...can you say value?!? They have other dishes, but some weren't available yet like their burgers (I will eat you...maybe not now...but I will eat you.) I got the pork gyro and it was fan-fuggin-tastic. Tender meat and their chips are really really good...they must sprinkle the good stuff on them. They also make their own sauces, and I loved their aioli. Will definitely be back to get more gyro goodness as well as trying their platters.

We both ordered a plate which came with crispy, pork cooked to perfection. If you enjoy crackling, get the pork! Side of tasty chips, fresh greek salad, good sized portion of tzatziki and AMAZING pita bread. The small platter cost $16 including a soft drink and the portion size was more than enough for me. The staff were also friendly and chatted to all of the customers who came through. Plenty of seating as well as being a take away shop. Will definitely be going back for a gyro!

All the food here is delicious and in true Greek style, huge portions and great value for money. On my visit, the owner Harry made us feel very welcomed. He spent time ensuring we chose the best dishes and even gave us some great foodie tips on where to eat in Mykonos. Great value for money is the Kondosouvli (Spit Roast) Platter for two $62.90 You have a choice of lamb, pork or chicken( or all three if you desire), served with salad, 2 dips, pita bread and chips. This platter is so huge that it can easily serve three people comfortably. I love a Mousaka and this one is freshly baked in the oven! Delicious with a good serve of Greek Salad. We finished our meal with the Greek desserts Bougatsa and Loukoumades. The atmosphere is very Greek - layback, happy and casual. No need to rush away here. Stay chatting with friends and have an Ouzo or two or if driving a Greek coffee. Thanks Harry for making our visit such a memorable experience. We'll be back often!

Located a few seconds from the Beach, in Brighton Le-sands, the Hellenic is the lastest taste of…read moreGreece to have hit our taste buds, and probably one of the best things that's ever happened to Bay Street.. in my humble opinion. When you combine two great things like envelopes, and wheat, you get the Pita bread. The Hellenic offers the very best in Greek street food, without compromising your budget. Despite it being a order at the counter, kind of place, the service and the staff are fantastic, the wraps are cooked right in-front of your eyes, on a large burner behind the counter, with all their fresh ingredients laid out for you to see, which affords the place that fresh street-food vibe. They also stock a wide range of greek sodas, I recommend you avoid the grape juice flavoured soda which I ordered, as it only ends up tasting like carbonated prune juice.. unless of course, that's your thing (eeeeeeek!). Luckily for me, my pita was flavoursome enough to overpower that foul prune juice after-taste. I ordered the the Kalamaras ($8.90); which is a thick pita delightfully packed with lightly grilled Haloumi, Spanish onion, tomato and chips, as well as a generous dollop of tzatziki (I could write a whole review on how deliciously creamy the Tzatziki was, with it's strong kick of garlic). My partner ordered the Baba Yianni - lamb pita ($8.90), which he equally raved about in terms of flavours and how well they worked together. I could not recommend this place enough, it's a real treat for Vegetarians and meat-eaters alike!

Luckily Dad doesn't have such odd selection criteria, because Sophie's website looks like it was done by a Year 8's Computer Science project. Though knowing how tech savvy kids are these days, maybe more like a Year 3 kid... But I digress. Dinner here started well and ended well, though the in between was a bit meh. The trio of dips are deceptively ample, and the haloumi with macerated figs was just genius. The curly sweet potato crisps ontop of the vegetarian moussaka won me over, but the lamb shoulder was a bit dry and stringy. Loukoumades are only done on Friday and Saturday night, so of course I had to have them. And it's times like this that I'm glad I have a bit of food FOMO because the loukoumades and Greek coffee was everything dessert should be - just enough sugar, fat and caffeine to get you buzzed and not so much that you feel sick. Sophie, you're at least worthy of a drop down menu and some cool javascript.

We were offered the chefs banquet. Dips , salads, pitta bread , calamari , chargrilled octopus and a meat platter.

The restaurant is licensed with a nice selection of greek wines,they let us bring in our own wine at only $10 a bottle, and we ordered a couple from the list, great value.

I dunno what, but Athenian did not live up to my expectations, or my admittedly distant memories of a fine lunch had long ago. Went with a party of about 7 for Friday night after after-works drinks, (always a bit risky I guess) and all pretty hungry. Got a table no problem, (bit surprising on a Friday night) and away we went. Dolmades, spanokopita, tzatziki, taramasalata, pita bread, calamari for entrees. Hmm. The calamari was a mixture of baby calamari leggy bits and strips of tune - seemed ok but a bit greasy. Spanokopita, nice, dips, nice, pita bread, fresh but a bit greasy. Dolmades, ok but a bit soft. Mains, for most, was the lamb shoulder in one form or another, in my case with braised veg, and my fellow diners with with a mixture of roasties and salad. The lamb was well cooked, but a bit greasy, and my veg was braised regrettably long, to the point where it all tasted the same - and a bit greasy. Common theme appearing here, right? To be fair, there was nothing really wrong with it all (except it was a bit greasy) but nothing really memorable or especially right with it either. I'll probably give it another go for old times sake, but on the basis of this meal I would say there is much better Greek to be had in the area.
