MEET THE GREEKšŸ‡¬šŸ‡· located in the busy area of Brighton Le Sands, Sydney. So for all your Sydney goers, this place is a MUST visit for your GREEK hook ups ! šŸ½We had a three course meal with drinks all for just under $150 (as we had a voucher) for the both of us. Regardless of the cost, this place is definitely worth the $$, the food quality speaks for itself. We also ordered way too much food, which could of fed a small army or at least 4ppl. The staff were very attentive and friendly and as it was Greekys birthday they put a candle in the honey puffs and served them up like a little cake and all the staff came over and sang happy birthday which was lovely !

What a lovely little Greek restaurant. Great atmosphere and really nice food. Things Iā€™d order again would be the taramasalata, Greek salad and lamb souvlaki. Great to go as a big group to share but we were only 3. The Greek Rose was also amazing!

Great pasta and octopus. Service leaves a bit to be desired. One waitress works really hard and the rest just don't seem bothered. Surcharge charged on any card although they say no.

Excellent and authentic Greek food. The chicken souvkaki was tender and succulent, the grilled haloumi was excellent as was the zucchini fritters with the delicious tzatziki sauce were cooked to perfection. The prices were reasonable but the quantity wasn't good. Overall a good little joint with the beautiful Brighton beach promenade as it's ambience!

One of the best restaurants I have been to in Sydney. Beautiful food, nice venue but above all that - impeccable customer service. This is hard to find and replicate. I love that you can pay for corkage and I love that they present you with their desserts and not just provide a hard copy dessert menu - very nice touch. Definitely recommend coming here. Good for a date but also for groups.

Busy place on the Brighton Strip. Came here for a girly catch up. We were seated by the lady manager and our drinks order taken quickly. Food wise we shared some mezze including the spanakopita, Greek salad and halloumi chips. The chips were interesting, nice texture, served fried but didn't really love the sweetness on the top. It's like they added honey. Without the sweetness, the dish would have been a stand out. Greek salad was beautiful and well dressed. Spanakopita was good. Mains we shared both lamb and chicken souvlaki. Chicken was better than the lamb. Was juicy and nicely marinated. Seasonings on the chips were also very nice. I would have liked more sauce with the dish. Not enough tzazkiki to enjoy with both the bread and meat.
Service was attentive and menu was big. Would come back for some other dishes. Yum.

I mark Greek places pretty harshly but this place really ticked all the boxes for me. Only the kotosouvli I didnā€™t enjoy due to overpowering taste it had but everything else was fantastic. Greek Salad, haloumi, pitta bread - the pitta bread was incredible. The loukaniko also outstanding. We had a seafood platter for 2 and it was great, the Greek beers also went down a tread šŸ‘Œ

A Guide For Your Appetite

Need a higher rating then 5. Possibly a 15!

How do I summaries... "Amazing, Delicious, Terrific, Awesome, Very Yummy, O.M.G open one next door to my house"Ā  in one word....

I went to this restaurant with my friends for a casual catch up. Two of my friends had been there before but I had not. As you walk in the excellent service is shown by the staff standing at the front door. We were young adults however their service was nothing short of excellent. The waiters were very friendly. They showed us to the table gave us our menu asked us if we can start with drinks to which we all ordered and then they left us enjoy the atmosphere and for a bit before asking us if want to order entreeā€™s or mains. A lot of restaurants now days want in and out so they can have constant customers whereas this restaurant let us sit and talk and relax and did not constantly hound us what we wish to eat.

Service ā€“ Perfect, Absolutely Perfect. I wish I asked for the name of the waiter that was serving us because she knew the menu inside out and I would have loved to give her credit. My friend is very picky of his meals however the waiter showed him everything that he can have and she knew exactly where everything was noted on the menu and she was absolutely friendly. She knew what the meals contained and was happy to explain. A waiter that is knowledgeable and friendly makes the ambiance and atmosphere of the restaurant a lot more enjoyable. What I like about this waiter is that she came around once to ask us how our meal was and if everything was good and then she didnā€™t hound us every 5 minutes. This is excellent because it allowed us to enjoy our meal and also catch up with the friends and not having to constantly be hounded with questions about how our meal was. All the other restaurant should learn from this restaurant.

Food ā€“ Absolutely Greek! You want Greek... you got it. The food was amazing. I had the Souvlaki Skewers and my other mates had a few seafood plates. If it was not rude, we would have licked the plates clean because the food was that delicious. Nothing was over or under cooked. Even though there was large quantities, the quality of the food was perfect. We also had a few different entreeā€™s and all were perfect. I strongly recommend the TRIO Dips as entree and the Chicken Souvlaki as the main.

Value ā€“ 5 people, A LOT of food and drinks and only $228. We had 5 entrees, 5 mains, 2 sides and a total of 9 drinks (lemon lime bitters and Coke). A big quantity, the Best quality and the value is still terrific. For a restaurant that is in Brighton and itā€™s across the road from the water.... I was expecting a lot more on the bill but I was surprised to see only $228....

Atmosphere ā€“ Terrific! Perfect decorations, perfect seating arrangements and the staff their made everyone welcome. We were at the restaurant for about 2 hours and did not even know that we were there for 2 hours because it was such a good atmosphere.

I recommend this restaurant for everyone who wants to try proper Greek food. Iā€™ve lived in Athens for a while and this reminded me of Athens. The food was amazing and the service from staff was just welcoming. Greek culture is to always have nice food and nice people and this is it!

This restaurant can be for Friends catch up, Couples and even family friendly. PERFECT!!!

I live 50minutes drive from here, but I will definitely be a forever customer!

What an awesome place to have a great meal near the beach. The atmosphere and staff were friendly. We ordered 3 dips the eggplant, red pepper and pink roe. All lovely and perfect with the pita bread. We also had the saganaki which was amazing. We also ordered the lamb and pork share platter which was plenty for 3 adults. Would recommend this place for a lovely lunch on the beach.

I'm a sucker for Greek and this place really bring the goods!

The salt and pepper calamari and haloumi cheese starters are a must, and the lamb shoulder for main, well let's just say you can't leave here without it! It's so tender, it literally is falling off the bone as it is served to you!

I will recommend that if you want starters, to share the the lamb should between two for your main as the portion is huge! You defiantly won't leave this place hungry.

If you are planning doing dinner on a Friday night or the weekend, make sure you book as it does get really packed, and be prepared to pay as the prices are a bit expensive. Totally worth it though as the food is quality!

It was my sister-in-law's birthday today, and she chose to come here for lunch, so they made a booking for 6+1 baby. When we arrived, they had a table of six, but had completely discounted the baby factor, and after putting in the baby seat, it was a bit squished, and one person (ended up being me just for ease because I didn't really mind too much) was sitting at the end of the table in the main Ā through-fare of the restaurant.

The manager and servers were very friendly, and very patient in explaining the menu items since a lot of them were described with titles only, which not knowing much Greek food, we had to ask quite a bit.

The decor was fairly homely, dark colours, lots of busy items on the wall besides the kind of expected bottles of wine, preserved goods, tins of Greek goods, plus things like Hoplite helmets and wine barrels cut into being lamp shades. Ā Greek music going on in the background, moderate volume, not overpoweringly loud.

It being by the seaside at Brighton-Le-Sands, it had a nice gentle breeze through the front door that did make it quite refreshing.

We ordered a total of 8 dishes. Ā Pan fried cheese with honey, vegetable fritters, vine leaf wrapped rice, beetroot salad, lamb dish, chicken skewers, salmon, Ā and a moussaka. Ā I also ordered a Greek Coffee, and my wife a Greek Mountain Tea.

The food came out relatively quickly, portion sizes moderate. The starters were a bit of a mix. Vegetable fritters were pretty ordinary, on the bland side, and so were the vine leaves, the pan fried cheese was really good though, and the beetroot salad fairly standard, nothing terribly outstanding. It was enough for the six adults to share.

The coffee was strong, I did request two sugars which helped take the bitterness edge off, and it was a shot with grounds steeping, as I expected. It came with a small piece of the Greek equal of Turkish delight, which was quite nice as it had a delicate rose water flavour, but was not overly sweet and overpowered by the icing sugar.

The mains came out also fairly quickly too. Ā The chicken skewers were dry, pretty tasteless unfortunately. The lamb was nice, okay amount in terms of meat portion, could have done with more though. Both these dishes had pita bread and chips, with some yogurt based dip with dill in it. Without it for the lamb was fine, without the dip for the chicken made for not nice chicken.

The salmon was moist, reasonably cooked, though it still had a few bones. It didn't bother me, but it was unexpected since typically in dining such kinds of places, you'd expect a more thorough job in removing pin bones. Ā The salmon had a sundried tomato and cheese paste with capers, but the paste had turned into a blob, which didn't really cut easily, so you ended with fish without any of it, or a massive amount of it on each portion you cut. Ā The moussaka was not as eggplant as I thought, but still moderately nice. No complaints on that dish.

I think its better than average as far as a dining experience goes, however it wasn't exceptional. The combination of good solid service and atmosphere makes it a nice place to visit, but the dishes probably didn't do a great job of making Greek cuisine proud. Ā We saw on other tables platters of meat, banquet style, which they had barely touched which seemed like such a waste, but at $90 for two for a platter, its a hefty price tag. Ā For 6 adults, and 8 dishes, it was a total of $192 (rounded) which included 4 drinks (a beer, coffee, mountain tea, and lemon squash softdrink), which was $32/head, quite reasonable for what we had.

Would I come again on my own, probably not. Would I come on another occasion? Sure.

This has to be the squishiest place, walking from the entrance to the bathroom at the end was quite difficult as all the tables/chairs were so close together. Luckily (or not so luckily in Winter, 3 tables asked to be moved as it was too cold) we were seated outside as inside it was completely packed out. They were undeniably busy so naturally the service was not too attentive but what can you do.

I got the vegetarian moussaka which used very fresh vegetables but personally I found it too incredibly cheesy for my liking. Iā€™m not the biggest fan of overly buttery, cheesy, greasy things so perhaps I should have ordered something else. But each to their own I guess as my bf loved it saying he needed to find out how to make it at home, it was that good.

I actually preferred his dish but didnā€™t eat the lamb however it was apparently well cooked and juicy (he got the souvlakia). I know the rest is just pita bread, chips and tzatziki, but they were all nicely done and I enjoyed the flavour combo, which was probably what I had been craving anyway.

This is a good Greek restaurant with good service. I have been here a couple of times, the restaurant is styled in a modern fasion with a Greek influence. They have an extensive menu serving classic greek cuisine. They have the usual starters, olives, pita, dips and salads. There are some great entree options I have ordered the saganaki Kefalogavieria, with melted greek cheese cooked in crisp filo topped with honey and oregano. I nice sweet and salty flavor combination. The prawn saganaki is also nice, pan fried prawns in a tasty tomato sauce served in the pan. For the main it is hard to go past the 7 hour slow cooked lamb shoulder with lemon potatoes. As to be expected the lamb is tender and melts in your mouth. The moussaka is a nice option. I heard good things about the galaktaboureko, which was nice but didn't quite meet expectations. This is a great restaurant for sharing and would be ideal for a group booking.

One of the best Greek places I've tried so far. The atmosphere and interior is welcoming and cozy. Staff are extremely friendly. Six of us went and ordered dips and multiple starters to enjoy a Greek tapas and it worked well. All things rich and cheese-y, good for your soul.

The servings are wholesome. Ā The views outside are good, as the restaurant faces the beach and Botany Bay. Ā  The ambiance inside is cosy and rustic. Ā The staff go about their business efficiently but at times they need to look at the seated customers more, especially if they are seeking help. Ā  The menu has variety and echoes authenticity in choice. Ā It is a small restaurant but located at the heart of the Brighton-Le-Sands dining hub. Ā It is surrounded by Mediterranean culinary competitors and could be a vital stop in a foodie tour. Ā  Streamed music in the background got louder progressively as the night wore on, but hey, this is a Greek culinary experience - no dancing though as can be found in some boisterous restaurants in other places.Ingredients like almonds, tomatoes, Pita breads, yoghurt, Tzatziki dips, lentils, quinoa, Freekah, onions, raisins, eggplants and honey are aplenty here. Ā And then there are also Bechemal cheese, Napolitana bisque sauce and the rice vine leaf rolls or the Dolmades.Ā  Ā Or the more familiar Greek styled fries and garlic breads.

Meet the Greek is a very nice restaurant with excellent decor. We went on a Saturday night so there was a bit of a wait (so make sure you book in advance!). I really recommend the lamb, and grilled BBQ octopus.

I don't normally eat Greek food but stumbled upon this joint by chance. Wonderful decor adorn this place but it is the food that does the talking. Had the lamb cutlets which was certainly an ample offering. The cutlets were cooked beautifully. I would revisit again when I crave Greek food!

Food is great here and the customer service is very attentive. It's located on the main hub of restaurants in Brighton just across the road from the beach. The portion size generous so come here on an empty stomach. I highly recommend the lamb kontosouvli.

Meet the Cheese, so much cheese. Portions are extremely generous, we shared 3 entrees and 1 main... but called timeout on the entrees and asked for the main to go. Not my favourite thing to do, but wasting so much food is a sin and the staff were not fazed at all by the request which was a massive relief. Service was amazing, prompt and non-intrusive... I had a bit of fun with cleanup time of finished dishes... 30seconds tops. The entrees were huge and all 3 were cheese based which was not a great decision on our part. The feta and capsicum dip was gorgeous, really liked that. The feta tomatoes prawns were fresh and tasty; another great choice. The baked 3 cheeses, was so salty it was not editable, even my dinner buddy who is a salt fiend had to tap out, he also broke out in a minor penicillin allergy rash afterwards so we probably should have researched what the 3 cheeses were. The lamb cutlets main was perfectly cooked, looked great, tasted amazing and the sides went very well... The chips are exceptional.

Hungry? Not for long. The complaints about this place are no doubt from all the skinny girls and hipsters entering by accident not wanting a meal, but a kale and pomegranate entree that will fill them. My advice to you: Stay home if this is what you're after, but come here when you're hungry, and leave sideways out the door.
These guys started off as all kitchens do a little shaky, but the last year or so its been consistently good. Tender chicken skewers, piping hot baked moussaka, room temperature dolmadis and Greek salad with fresh tasty tomatoes.
The wine list is limited, byo and corkage applies. Expect to pay about $50/pp and leave taking some food home.

A massive fan of this place. There was nothing we could fault, being Greek this food tastes exactly like my yiayias (grandmas) cooking. It was delicious and worth every dollar. Food was fresh and staff were attentive and friendly! Love the facts about Greece all over the restaurant too. Very generous food portions, they feed like a true Greek. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there and will be back again soon. Delicious.

Top food but very noisy!!!. I don't know if it was just because it was a Friday night but I couldn't even have a conversation it was just too loud to talk. There were so many people and the small band was playing some music, let alone it was on a main road. The food was delicious, and the restaurant was decorated very well bringing out the feel of Greece. I was quite impressed with the food but it would be even better if the restaurant was a bit more quiet!

We enjoyed our meal here. The service was a little slow. The meals were large and good value. I had the chicken schnitzel with mushroom sauce, sauerkraut, mash potato and fried onion. I couldn't finish it but my partner happily finished it off. The sauce was rich, the chicken crispy and moist. Partner had the sausage pappardelle special. This was nice enough and a huge serve but nothing to rave about. Other parties got the sirloin steak and a bowl of wedges. Steak came out cooked as requested and a generous serving of veges along with a baked potato accompanied it. A solid meal overall and a good place for you to go if you enjoy good meals at reasonable prices.

What a great restaurant! Delicious Greek treats in an authentic Greek atmosphere were enjoyed but even more impressive were the friendliness and knowledge of the staff; genuine, enthusiastic smiles accompanied by engaging conversation, with the standout being Nia. She added so much more to an already memorable experience. I was beside myself, which is why I ordered the Greek Platter for two.

This restaurant has one of the most caring and diligent waiters you will ever find. On my recent visit, Thursday night, I experienced a fainting session and on top of his first class table waiting, our waiter swung into action and was helpful in the extreme. He helped carry me to our car at the rear of the restaurant. Nothing was too much trouble for him or the other gentleman who attended us. I canā€™t speak highly enough of the attention we were paid. Thank you Gentlemen. Regards Gloria

I've been to many Greek Restaurants and I have to say that this was most memorable for taste and customer service!! First time I ever finished a lamb shank in a restaurant. The food was plentiful and will have to go back to try the desserts. Loved loved the Duchess - Sparkling wine. Need to add that my son, who is a super fussy eater, devoured the lamb souvlaki!!! That's a huge plus!!!

The food here is usually fantastic but the change in chefs due to Covid has definitely also impacted the food. While it's still really good, it's not as amazing as it was back in 2019. That said the service and the staff are amazing and definitely go above and beyond to make sure their guests are taken care of. Will still be a favourite of ours so long as there is a return to pre covid days.
