This Greek restaurant is very popular in Melbourne. Had lunch there, the helping was huge and very tasty, the service second to none.

Since my return from my holiday in Greece where I was converted to a a great fan of their cooking, i have been looking for a great resto both in Adelaide and Sydney to appease my cravings for Greek food and I was able to find it in Melbourne.

This is my favourite Greek restaurant in Melbourne. Efficient service and brilliant souvlakis. I often come here after midnight with mates and get a mixed souvalki with the usual fillings plus a mixture of tzatziki and chilli sauce. The chips are average, but the souvlakis are awesome. Real meat in real pita bread- awesome! If you're out in the city... More

This place is always packed and for a good reason. Great food at reasonable prices. Love the fact it's 24hrs and you can pop in anytime for some Greek food, and the tasting plate will leave you stuffed!

The food is amazing! Cheap and fast. And they are open when you most need them - late at night. Best lamb in Melbourne.

Consistently good food, great prices and excellent service. It's a popular restaurant...the place is almost always full whenever I've been there...yet I've never waited longer than 10 minutes for a table. The platters are huge and even when shared between 4 people, it's enough to give you the "meat sweats"!! The souvas are beautiul...beware of "garlic breath" though...they are potent!!... More
