Cannot praise the staff enough! Amazing food, amazing service, amazing atmosphere! They had extra toys for my little dude to play with (he already had his own but new ones are always better)! Thank you for a wonderful dining experience!

My partner and family are Greek and is one of my favourite cuisines so our expectations are high. First experience was romantic, dinner for two, was fantastic! Friendly, knowledgable, attentive staff, delighted with the food. Couldn't fault. Second time with family and it was busier....service still good however disappointed some hot dishes served came out cold. They were happy for us to take left overs....maybe go back?

I’ve been meaning to try this place for a while now and have heard a number of great things about Estia. It has been awarded a number of accolades including the Best European Restaurant in SA in 2015, 2017, 2019.
The place was super busy when I was there, so it was quite loud and squishy, so the vibes and seating facilities didn’t impress me too much. I felt like they could invest in doing up the place considering the reputation this place has.
The menu suggests to order a couple of full dishes and a few small ones, so that you can sample a bit of everything. I ordered a variety of plates, but I have to say my favourite ones were the Garithes Saganaki prawns (king prawns pan cooked in tomato and feta with garlic, chilli and fresh mint) and the Tis Skaras Amaki (lamb filled marinated in olive oil, lemon and selected spices - chargrilled).
The chargrilled octopus wasn’t my favourite and was quite chewy, so will give that a miss next time. The Loukoumathes wasn’t the nicest dessert as it was quite dense. Also, some of the food needed more salt! Generally the staff were very accommodating although we felt a bit pushed to place our order quicker than we would have liked.
Overall the food is great and not overly pricey. Definitely recommend this place!
Great to go to a restaurant and be sure your interstate friends would experience a meal and service with the "wow" factor - Estia is such a destination.
Estia would be somewhere I’d refer to as an Adelaide institution. It’s always been good and has always been popular and I’ve never once been disappointed. Great Greek in a great location, worth the journey.
Estia is a Henley Square institution. It was a Wednesday night and Estia was extremely busy which was a good sign. The service was excellent - even though we were sitting outside we were not neglected and when a slightly more sheltered table became vacant they offered to move us. The food, as expected, was generous and of a high standard. The value for money is excellent.
Amazing food. Came on a very busy and very hot night but we were still looked after. The lamb was absolutely perfect, and it’s great that you get a choice out of two serving sizes for most meals. Can’t wait to visit and come here again.
Eating at Estia was a fantastic experience. We ordered the banquet which featured a number of dishes, including dips, salad, seafood and meats. Every dish was fantastic and I didn’t leave feeling uncomfortably full. Wait staff were excellent and very accommodating.
We have been to Estia many times over the years and the food never disappoints. The banquet is amazing value and there was more than enough to eat for everyone. We can’t go past a serve of loukoumades when we visit, they are delicious. Great services and friendly staff. Book ahead for summer because it’s popular with everyone.
Outstanding service and everything we ordered was superb! Our favourites were the lamb (best lamb we’ve ever had) and the saganaki (pan cooked cheese with olive oil and lemon) was delicious beyond description! We would highly recommended this restaurant.
I loved my experience at Estia. The staff go above & beyond to please customers. Very attentive & friendly. The food was excellent. Lamb fillet was my favourite. We ordered 3 small dishes to share amongst 2 of us & that was plenty. Perfect location, just at Henley Square.
During the weekend, we went there for dinner. We were three of us. We thought of ordering more, however, 3 dishes were quite heavy for us. I believe 3 choices for 3 people is good enough and filling. The liver was quite heavy with every bite. I liked the taste but after having it felt it to be too oily which didn’t feel right( one star less due to this). Further , we also ordered a crematia cake which was fantastic-sweet but Not too sweet! Lastly, the staffs were nice, friendly, and helpful.
Best Lamb in Adelaide that’s for sure!
Tried Estia because a few Greek friends recommended it. Definitely lives up to its reputation. Lamb was so succulent. Dips & sauces were well-balanced & complimented the meat dishes well.
The calamari was cooked perfectly and was paired with chickpea salad which was a great touch to the flavours!
Will be back for sure!

Absolutely flat out on mother's Day yet they accommodated for my elderly mother in law not to wait standing. Food was served so fast you would think we had pre-ordered. Quality and flavour was not compromised with polite courteous staff. Well done 👍
Lunch at @estiahenleybeach: good location and good service, but the food was only okay. I think the starters were better than the mains. The food is not bad, just not the best Greek food in Adelaide (also according to our Greek friends 😜😜).
.
Saganaki: always a favourite! This was nicely done.
.
A combination of 5 dips: excellent, but you can't really go wrong with dips 😜. The bread was good too.
.
A giant platter of many different items: great option for sharing! The calamari was decent - although some were a bit chewy. The dolmathes were nice. The grilled prawns were excellent, and the chicken and pork were okay, but the lamb was a bit overcooked - they were a bit tough.
.
Chargrilled eggplant, potato, capsicum, zucchini and fresh herbs, layered and oven baked in tomato: good flavours, nicely done!
We were lucky enough to be there to watch the sun go down while eating fresh and delicious food. To top things off when the lovely waiter found out it was my birthday he brought over a free dessert slice 😍 which was to die for ❤ highly recommended this restaurant
