It’s shame they don’t take bookings for party under 4 , so we had to wait for nearly 30 min in line for getting a table .

On a busy weekend this place is packed, if that’s not your thing maybe come on a week day. Either way, the food in tasty! It’s not the best Greek in Melbourne but it certainly is a classic.

The Greek salad was very good with festa cheese on the side as requested. The Souvlaki chicken sandwich not too bad, needs some hot sauce would be better. Service staff friendly & very helpful. Best to use cash to avoid surcharge for credit cards which is pretty standard practice in Victoria state. Note that debit card has a much lower surcharge that credit card; 0.8% instead of 1.5%. Weekend a surcharge of 10% applies. Many restaurants adds surcharge during Sundays & Public Holidays as staffing cost more during non-work days.

The pita bread was very nice with the dips. The yogurt dip was the best I’ve had. Very nice. The restaurant is very interesting as well, like you’re in a cave. It is in the corner across from QV, so parking is not too bad. There is plenty to do in this area as well. We came around 2 pm and the restaurant was not too packed. We had a group of 6, and we were able to get a seat right away.
