Anna van BeijmerwerdtMarch 28, 2017The food here is amazing and the service excellent! We head the set menu 'feed me more' which is a great way to taste a lot of different things when you are with two people
Hans HauptApril 4, 2013The Baklava offering at HR is fantastic. Moist inner layer with a 'just right' crisp on the top. Not all Baklava are created equal and this one is worth it if you enjoy Greek dessert.
Lynton ManuelJuly 5, 2013Amazing Amazing Amazing... oh and ask for the drink that tastes a little like Ouzo but I can't remember what the hell it was called. The perfect compliment to the honey yogurt crumble dessert ;)
Alina VDecember 29, 2013Friendly service and good food to share! The free range chicken was very delicious and do not forget the dessert :) Risogalo (Rice pudding, salted caramel, pistachio) ! Mhmm!
Jesse WilsonMarch 13, 2017Gluten free selection of Lamb shoulder with chicken, chips and a Greek salad. Flavours were amazing. Greek salad was overpriced.
- Tiki PJuly 12, 2015Been here a few times, & the food & service always consistently good. The banquet is always a good choice.
TomfoolerySeptember 21, 2014Get a few dips, some Saganaki cheese with figs, the slow roasted lamb and some seafood. Gluten-free bread (that's actually really good) can be provided on request
Tim LucasDecember 3, 2013One of Master Chef George's restaurants, some of the tastiest Greek (Cypriot) food in Melbourne. Lamb spit mmm. Grab a pre-drink at Mr Wilkinson.
Jeph ChenSeptember 15, 2010Group tasting menu for $55 is the go! Massive amount of food and you get to try everything! Great food, atmosphere, but it can be a bit noisy! Doughnut is not sweet by the way for dessert!
Sal KhanAugust 21, 2011Get the take out souvlaki, choice of chicken or lamb or mixed on wholemeal pita. Inside:Surprise! couple of Potato widges, parsely & lots of garlic sauce! $14.50, damn worth it, will pay extra!
Anna XoxApril 24, 2015I highly recommend the white row dip, lamb ribs and doughnuts. Great service too.
Fairil YeoApril 29, 2013Finish every meal with the Gubutsya. This dessert is warm, sweet, fluffy, awesome pastry. Eat, then head to heaven.
Veronica GrowJuly 1, 2016Excellent fast friendly helpful service - generous servings of home cooked Greek goodness
Emilie RosenbergMay 13, 2010Absolute foodie heaven. I took 9 friends and we ordered the entire menu. Fantastic! It's worth the wait for a booking. The food is sensational. The baked fetta, the slow cooked goat. Try everything
Adrian ItaliaOctober 19, 2014Donuts with honey and cinnamon are must. They do half servings of lamb and chicken
Beth CaburianOctober 13, 2010This place is awesome, awesome, awesome!! I wish we had one here in Sydney. Definitely a must place to go when in Melb. Great place for family too. Yum!
Damon GarrettApril 5, 2011Consistently the friendliest restaurant staff in Melbourne. So much so that you feel kinda gushy to call this a "family restaurant". It's not just me, right?
Vaguely SpecificDecember 10, 2009Don't go for breakfast, thats pretty ordinary and you'll wait ages for that crucial first coffee. But for dinner or a long lunch its fabulous! Good simple cooking with great ingredients. Fabulous!
Kirra MJanuary 21, 2012Try the salmon fish stick, and the scallops, and don't forget the kingfisher and the lamb and chicken!! AMAZING!
Manny PapadoulisFebruary 6, 2011I can not describe how good this place is I have dined in Greek Restaurants all over Greece infact all over the world. This is it this the very very best I have ever taste Sensational
Do your tastebuds a favour and get the slow-roasted lamb; it falls apart as you lift it from the plate.
- Alina VDecember 29, 2013We tried the Sokolatopita (Me MastihaChocolate mastic brownie, vanilla ice cream), but it tasted a bit burned :(
Víctor OrtegaNovember 22, 2013Takeaway recommendations by Epicure: spit roasted meats, grain salads, rice pudding
Check it the Facebook page for the $12 takeaway lunchtime special bargoine!
Eleisha MullaneJanuary 5, 2012They also do takeaway some of which you can make at home if you can't get a booking
HTMay 1, 2011Amazing food, but management must be Greek communists as the service is terse & contemptuous.
Joseph CasertaFebruary 3, 2011Food is great if you want a more relaxed experience go for the 6pm sitting!
Jo ScardNovember 19, 2010Our 5 yr old gave the moussaka 100/100. The 8 yr. Old gave the caramel ice-cream 11/10.
