Our recipes have been handed down through the family for generations, so you always get genuine Greek flavours and experiences. We even import many of our key ingredients from Greece!

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Dined at Mythos a few weeks ago and really enjoyed the Lamb Shank as a main course with a Mixed Meze starter. Food is consistently good and service is always pleasant. Congratulations to André whose management contributes to an excellent experience. Takeaway service provides the excellence of Mythos' cuisine at home. Looking forward to coming back on my next visit to Johannesburg ;-)

We visited the restaurant on a Friday night for my daughters 12th Birthday. We had an amazing experience with the best service provided by Kumbu the waiter. He was extremely attentive to our needs and made my daughters birthday extra special. The food was freshly prepared and delicious. I would recommend this restaurant any day.

I celebrated my 70th birthday at this wonderful Greek restaurant yesterday. We were a party on 20 people and all I, and all our guests can say, is that it was very special. The service and the quality of the food was outstanding. Mythos has always been our favourite restaurant but yesterday it was amazing. Thank you Mythos and Mano, Gordon and Thembi.

When you order a dish from the menu, you expect the food... My experience was not the case... I ordered the Moussaka (meat option) and received the vegetarian dish! Service experience was sub standard - wasted 30 minutes of my dinner time. Sad to say I had to take it as a take-away...

Good food and a pleasant atmosphere. I like this Mythos and the one at Mall of Africa. The service is always good and the food is great. The prices are reasonable (cheap if you have dollars). It is a wonderful place to meet friends and to catch up.

It is always a delight to have a meal at this Restaurant!
The new decor is beautiful and the staff are the best we found so far.
There is plenty on the Menu to choose from and the food is divine.
It has a great atmosphere and is always lively.

Fantastic food, service and atmosphere. We enjoyed the wild Mossel Bay oysters, Queen prawns and geek beef fillet souvlakia. Authentic Greek expertly prepared.

I have tried the prawns and the octopus!
Both are difficult dishes but were cooked perfectly allowing them to be tender and juicy!
Congrats to the chef and the team!
Also the place and the service are really good!

Great way to lure lunch guests. Sadly the hake disappointed. The portions are more like starters and dressed up with chips to make it look like value for money. Won’t do this lunch special again.

Great food! Fantastic atmosphere! The ambience will call you back repeatedly, but it doesn't matter as the food is excellent & the portion sizes good! Service with a smile & the fact that our parking fee is paid by the restaurant is an added sweeter!

Being married to a greek, it's not always easy to please them. The restaurant underwent a facelift which gives it a real authentic greek feeling. We enjoyed a late tapas style dinner on a Sunday evening and out of all the chains we've been to THIS one is the Best! The service is excellent and you don't wait for hours before your food arrives.

We have eaten at Mythos a few times this year and have a issues with waiters not knowing who served us to cold food many time as on Friday 27th September cold food and very long wait. We ordered at the sameness time as we ordered drinks and once again cold food and when I sent it back asking for an entire new batch, it was just heated up and bought to the table. The manager there seems to be too cool to offer good service always just popping around the place doing nothing. Since Basil has left it has gotten bad.
Food doesn’t arrive together and incorrect dishes arrive
It takes a while for the bill to arrive as well
We have even booked tables and then they gave our table to another person with the same name as my husband not checking the phone number.
Just bad bad bad even though it was apparently revamped
Not a good choice anymore

I know this is a chain and it was busy during a recent visit but Greek food is flavorful and luscious and this was just boring and tasteless. The hummus was thin and watery, your pita hard and stale so the starters did not make a good impression. It is always exciting to find a vegetarian option on a classic but the moussake was without flavor.
