We couldn't fault it. Our only complaint was too much food! We had the $65 banquet, couldn't eat it all but the staff were more than obliging in organising takeaway boxes for the remainder. We had one celiac but the staff were absolutely excellent in catering to her gluten-free needs. Friendly efficient service and great food. We couldn't recommend it more highly (:

What a sensational restaurant. We were visiting Hobart from Melbourne and enjoyed ourselves so much on the first night, and after seeing some of the dishes other tables had ordered, we had to visit again the next night.
All the food is extremely tasty and the service is excellent. The staff are attentive and helpful without being overbearing. They know the food and explain everything well.
My partner is vegetarian and there are many options available.
The dips, saganaki, and salads were great. The lamb cutlets were the best I've ever had.
All the dishes are extremely good value, the servings are more than ample so take care when ordering. All dishes can be shared.
Hopefully we'll be back some day!

Arrived in Hobart and after a day of exploring looked online for some nice restaurants and stumbled across the urban Greek. This is the first review I have ever left for a restaurant, but I couldn’t not! The food was indescribable, from the starters right through to the Chocolate hazelnut soufflé, which btw was unbelievably mouthwatering. We opted for the meatballs for entrees with crumbled feta, which were so yummy. Both of us couldn’t stop saying ‘wow’. For mains I had the Cretan style Chicken and Lamb, the lamb was so tender and oozing with different flavours. And my partner had a dish from the specials menu which was veal cutlets, with vegetables. The food was unreal, we were in shock. We are massive foodies and this restaurant really made our tastebuds tingle. We were so full up from starters and mains but thought that we couldn’t possibly miss out on what they may have to offer for dessert. So we decided to share the soufflé, and oh my goodness it was the most delicious, gooey, chocolatey bowl of dreams I have ever experienced.
The wine was spectacular, it really complimented the food and was SO smooth. The food alone is enough for us to tell every person we come across to go here, but to top it all off the service was faultless. Our waitress was from London, and we didn’t catch her name. But she really went the extra mile to ensure we had the best experience. She advised us on what wine complimented our food choices, and not once did my glass fall empty. I didn’t have to call for assistance, the attentive service really topped off an all round amazing dining experience. It’s such a shame that we will not be able to revisit this absolute GEM of a restaurant with such good ambience.
10/10 LOVED IT !!!!!
2 very happy English visitors ☺️☺️

Finally managed to come here, great menu range and had difficulty deciding - choice of 3 dips for entree and then a mixed grill. Waited way too long for our bottle of wine to arrive - this was also a different year to what their menu says (needs updating) and not very chilled. The food was good but overly priced, service was lacking and I had to try and catch staff attention as they whizzed by. Very noisy atmosphere until more people vacated, I won't be in a hurry to go back.

Hi Alice R
Thanks for taking the time to make a review.
We appreciate all feedback, be it positive or negative as it helps us to continually improve.
We are terribly sorry that your experience was not up to usually high standards. As far the wine is concerned, occasionally our suppliers update the vintages they sell us without prior notice and there is a lag while we wait for new menus to be printed. Our food is also cooked fresh by a team of highly qualified chefs from quality local ingredients and therefore has an appropriate price attached. However I can only apologise that the service was not up to scratch and didn’t match your expectations.
I hope we can see you again soon to show you our wonderful hospitality

Having read so many fantastic reviews about Urban Greek my wife and I were excited to visit this restaurant. The place has a great atmosphere when we arrived and the service was very prompt, almost too prompt as our food arrived within a few minutes of us ordering.
The cheese starter was superb and to be recommended, however the prawn starter was very ordinary and quite tasteless.
My main, which was the Special minced lamb was excellent. My wife ordered the other lamb dish and it was terrible. The sauce was congealed, almost as if it had been made previously and reheated or left sitting for too long before being served.
We mentioned our issues to the server and one of the managers came immediatley to speak to us. To be fair, she handled the situation very well, apologising and offering to remove the item from the bill. This is all well and good and very much appreciated however we felt it was the least they could do and would rather have had a nice meal in the first place. We were also aware that other diners were all offered a free glass of presumably Ouzo, but we weren't! Not cool!
Sorry, but this only just merits a 3 star and could so easily have been a 2 star had the manager not saved the day.

Hi there G18SON, thanks for taking the time to make a review.
We are sorry that you feel this way about your experience. However, we would like to note several instances that occurred before and after your arrival at the restaurant.
firstly, when you called you requested a table as soon as we could offer it, we let you know what time that was available and on a busy friday night you attempted to negotiate an earlier time which was unavailable. whilst we understand anyone's frustration at not being able to dine when they like, however a busy Friday night for us usually means we would have no space for you at all, so you were quite lucky in this regard.
Secondly, when you ordered your food and received your meals, you were checked upon by your waitress and you did not comment on the "terrible" quality of the meal. We always enquire as to the quality of the meals with our customers to ensure that we are consistently matching our high standards for food and service. When you were checked upon you replied that everything was lovely and didn't say to the waitress at the time that you had an issue.
it was only after you finished the meal you let your waitress know and she immediately escalated it to our floor manager who dealt with it as you say "very well". When you received your bill, with the lamb dish discounted at 50% and the manager approached you, you stated that you did not think you should pay for an unsatisfactory meal which after some more discussion we decided to not charge you for the meal at all.
This meal was also not, as you say, left for too long or made previously and reheated, it was simply not to your liking, which is perfectly acceptable and as noted above, we removed the item from the bill.
As for the “free shots of ouzo” you mentioned: first of all, it is not ouzo, it is a unique to Greece, digestive liqueur that we occasionally offer to our customers when they have a very big meal and they manage to finish as we know that our serving sizes are quite large. In your case we didn’t feel that your needed the digestive shots after what you now refer to as “a terrible meal”.
Kind regards

This is by far best place hobart has to offee for eating out. Starting out with very friendly service and between the 6 of us all getting something different it was hard not to be envious of what others got while still enjoying your own meal. I would advise going in and sharing so you get to taste as much as possible. Cant wait to go again.

Our work group of 12 attended for lunch on Friday. With that many of us we ordered the Aristotle banquet option - and were absolutely delighted with ALL OF IT
The menu started with house made dips and breads - and this set the tone of the afternoon - because the care and effort that had clearly gone into producing these dips outlined what we would see for the rest of the seating.
Tremendous traditional flavours in each of the subsequent dishes, brilliant consistency across each portion, and an endlessly helpful and friendly wait staff underpinned a truly exceptional dining experience. There was more food than we could comfortably finish; which I always feel is the point of a banquet, though taking a couple of lamb cutlets home was no problem at all.
The interior was modern (as the name suggests), the wine list demonstrating a careful selection of local and international options, and the wait staff really went to great lengths to ensure nothing was a problem and we could focus on enjoying the laughter resulting from the levity that the ambience of the experience afforded.
We had an exceptional experience

Visited Urban Greek and can honestly say one of the best dining experiences I’ve had. A modern setting with very authentic Greek food. Each of the staff members were very knowledgable about the menu and give you a hit of information about Greek food culture and the course you are eating. We went for the $55 mezze platter which was incredible. So much food and all of it very tasty. Will definitely return next time I’m in Hobart.

My partner and I came here after reading many positive recommendations and it was definitely worth the visit! We ordered the $65 per person Hippocrates set menu which was excellent value. The courses just seemed to keep coming and everything was absolutely delicious! Our drinks were also great, both of us impressed with our colour changing butterfly gin and tonics. Service was above and beyond and atmosphere was upbeat and fun. If you are staying in Hobart, this place is a must-try!

Best Greek restaurant I have been to and one of the best restaurants in Hobart. We went with two families. Kids really enjoyed their meal, although it was a little on the expensive side for a kids meal. I would recommend getting share plates if there are a few kids. Adults had the Hippocrates banquet which was absolutely amazing. Food was fresh and all the right flavours. Friendly and helpful staff as well

I could not speak more highly of our experience at Urban Greek on Friday 21st Feb. Our waitress was incredible (I'm sorry I didn't get her name), and when we ordered a banquet, she gave us great dip suggestions. When she heard me say that I'm not a big seafood fan, she subbed put my seafood portion of the banquet for something else, so my husband still had his. She was also extremely funny and made us really comfortable. Nothing was too much, our drinks were never empty for long before they asked us if we wanted more or brought more water to the table.
Our food was amazing too. We had the Hippocrates Banquet and everything was sensational. I even discovered that I didn't mind the octopus dish (which I tried from my husband's portion). We will definitely be returning!

Amazing food and exceptional service.
Highly recommend the mixed grill platter to share, so much food and the meat is absolutely melt in the mouth. 3 of us wanted this so they made it for 3 and it could easily have fed 4 or 5, we're just pigs! So much food.
I'll also be dreaming of the saganaki cheese for the rest of my life. After visiting greece I was really excited about this and it did not dissapoint.
Even though it was busy and bustling, table conversation was never an issue. We got close to coming up on our time limit however our waitress advised we had time for dessert and we were certainly not rushed. That pistachio ice cream.... dream!
My only negative was the fact I wore jeans... wear stretchy pants!
