Had an amazing meal here last night, huge praise for the staff - they were so helpful sorting food for my little boy (who can't eat solids) and blended down the most delicious moussaka I've ever tasted for him. It was the first night of our holiday and it made it so special. Our food was absolutely spot on too, so tasty. Couldn't recommend this place highly enough, thank you again!

Rocked up Friday night without a booking and our two kids in tow. They found a table and made us feel welcome. Our boys loved the pork souvlaki while we had the vegetarian platter. The meals were quick to come out and delicious. The staff were cheery and helpful. Good value too. We'll definitely be back.

Zachary Donaldson

Fantastic food, these guys know they are doing. When I eat here I feel as if I am experiencing the culture of a loved home cooked international dish that could only be found in someone's secret family recipe. Not only is this place amazing value for money but it is followed by a great location and warm staff. Thank you to everyone who made me and my girlfriends date night such a great experience! A well deserved 5 from us.

And in The heaviest of down pours of rain it was still cosy inside and fun. The staff were great and so helpful. The food was delish and traditionally Greek. I loved it. I recommend everything about this restaurant.

Marina Noud

Good food - we had the banquet.Loved the dips with the warm pita bread. Mains and salad good too.Most obliging friendly staff in particular Jake. BYO is also an added bonus with only a $2.50 a head cover. Also loved the Semolina cake, moist and not too sweet. One of our favorites.

Trent Harper

Food and service was amazing tonight. Couldn't fault a thing. Was a delightful experience. Our waiter Dieter was a champ! He's GOLD to your family business. Id hire him in a heartbeat. He knows his stuff with friendly and all round awesome service. Would definitely recommend and come back after the experience we received tonight! Awesome work Dieter!

Absolutely AMAZING food at a fantastic price!! Have been here a few times and i must say everything i have tried has been cooked to perfection & the lamb shank is to die for!!! Best Greek food iv tasted since being in Greece ��

Kiana Easton-Skinner

Beautiful food, lovely service, wonderful for seafood lovers! The octopus tentacles and prawns were cooked perfectly. No wonder the place was full, make a booking as soon as you can, thanks to the chefs and waiters for making not only lovely food but a lovely dining environment.

Sarah Mullenbach

One of my favourite restaurants in Brisbane! The food and service are amazing and the family running it are so lovely :) Highly recommend it!!!

Desley Wonder

Walked in off the street, no booking. Great service, great food arrived quickly & was very tasty. We had a share platter & the slow cooked lamb special which it was, the salad was so fresh. Plenty of people taking tables which is always a good sign.

Geoff

Walk over from the cbd at lunch and walk in. Friendly and caring people using old family recipes at times. The service food price efficiency mix is excellent not one element is excellent but the combination is. Eat the cheese dishes the lamb etc. this is one of a very small number of restaurants where I just enjoy a different dish every time without ever being disappointed.

Food quality was really good. The only problem with the pita bread for the dip was that I wish there was more of it because it was so good. The sausage entree was surprisingly really flavourful for the appearance. The mains were really good as well. Only down side to this place in my opinion is that the portions are medium/small sized. Bigger eaters like myself would leave a little bit hungry

I have been here lots of times and the food is always consistently delicious. Very good size portions and affordable pricing. Byo is a great bonus too. Highly recommend and will be back!

Went there for lunch on the weekend. Our group ordered two vegetarian platters , some chicken and some lamb dishes. Food was delicious except chicken which was rather plain. Lamb melted in the mouth. Highlight was the pita bread - warm and freshly made - yum. Serving sizes were on the small size, not generous in the least. The other disappointing aspect was that our crisp mushrooms and zucchini was served well after after we’d finished all other dishes. It would have been at least 15 minutes wait. We believed that they had forgotten this menu item until we pointed it out! Serves was exemplary- welcoming and accomodating.

Menu choices are excellent and the food was delicious. A little bit noisy sitting inside but plenty of tables outside. Would definitely go here again

Amazing experience here. The staff were amazing and attentive. The food was next level and enjoyed everything I had. Got some dips n pita to start, a grilled veggie pita and baklava to finish. All amazing. Would definitely eat here again !!

Brilliant and a gem of a Greek restaurant run as a family business. This place stacks up as a leader in Greek cuisine and holds its own against any Greek restaurant in Melbourne - known for its huge Greek heritage population. It does this and yet you can walk away with a bill that would on average be say a half of what you would pay in Richmond and surrounding suburbs, Melbourne at some of the fancier places.

Not only does it offer the ever popular and expected chicken/lamb skewers and dips (so flavorsome!) it takes its offerings to another dimension by combining traditional home cooked dishes into its menu.

I had a slow cooked lamb shoulder dish with risoni (from the specials menu) and a side salad. The flavours were incredible and transported you into a Mediterranean mindset as if you were abroad in a Greek friend's mother's kitchen.

Authentic, superb, what a shame I live in Melbourne and only here one more night.
Approx $50 and worth every cent and more (lamb shoulder, trio of dips with 3 bread serves, 1 side salad) - 2 people.

Highly, highly recommended.

A Gem.

If you want authentic Greek food you must go here! My favourite dishes is the garlic prawns with lemon potatoes , baby octopus and the lamb souvla. The tarama dip is amazing with the pita as a starter with the stuffed mushrooms. I couldn’t fault anything! We had nick and the service he provided was amazing. We will all be back and will be recommending to friends

Been wanting to try this place for a while after reading all the good reviews on multiple sites. I loved how they have daily specials felt like home cooked meals which is rare to find these days. Every item we ordered was absolutely delicious. We had 3 mains Moussaka, Beeftaki and Souvla and finished of with some lovely desserts (Kataifi) was really good.

I am from Melbourne which is the capital of all things greek so I had to try this restaurant. Whoa is all I can say! It's authentic look, feel, hospitality and food exceeded my expectations as well as the old man greek dancing which was great. To be honest my friend and I nearly ordered everything on the menu as it was so good. I do suggest you bring a bottle of red/white wine to compliment the yum food as it is BYO.

One of the really good greek food Ive had, the flavours were well done, juicy meats and not overdone but not raw either, just really well cooked. Went out with a few friends, vegetarians options are good as well. The haloumi, the lamb chops and the fish is great. Portion sizes could be a little bit more, especially for the mains, but overall one the good greek places, will keep coming back to this one.

Came here hoping to smash crockery (opa!) but just figuratively smashed some plates instead. Shared dishes our trio demolished were all lovely - hard to fault actually - & terrific value for money. Found ourselves particularly enamoured with the Mykonos goat. So so succulent & tender.

Love it’s BYO with a bottle shop over the road & corkage only $2.50 p/p. Only little hitch in the otherwise great service was that our finished plates really outwore their welcome on our table.

Fun way to spend a lazy lunch - squeaky haloumi, zesty lemon everything & absorbing the vibrant West End hood, vino in hand. Will return to this casual lil gem.

Came here for lunch & had the scallops in garlic cream sauce with Greek salad. It was delicious! Service was very good. Ambience is lacking though, as it’s a very casual cafe on the corner of a busy intersection.

Lovely owners and delicious food, but as the place got busier, the prices got bigger and the serves got smaller. Plenty of other nice Greek places to eat that I would bring visitors over this one.

Great service!!! Very friendly staff. She asked me if I would like to sit in the air con area and she helped me to choose the menu since it was my very first time eating here. I had the special of the day menu: dolmades. It was a great food. I really like the sauce. It made perfect combination with the dish. The menu is for 18$ with quite big portion. I am delighted and cant wait to get another chance to try different menu.

Reading the recent reviews, I was a little worried that the quality of the restaurant had gone down in the past few months. However, my fears were soon assuaged after I actually tried the food.

The pita wrap was amazing. I got the halloumi. It was flavourful without a metric ton of salt added, and the balance between the bread, cheese and salad was perfect.

(I think I ate it incorrectly though, as you can see in the photo where all it's insides are visible)

There was a special deal on the day I went, so I got the wrap with a drink for only $10.50. Very good value. However, the normal price is reasonable also.

Edit: Upon visiting a second time I realised that the deal is pretty much for letting you eat the takeaway wrap ($8) in the restaurant. It's not actually cheaper.

Another place i've been coming to for years, outstanding food at fantastic prices. The lamb yiros is possibly the best lamb in brisbane, it damn near melts in your mouth fresh off of the spit, while being downed with a generous serving of lemon potatoes. I usually like to start with some pita, tarama, and tiropita, all which i would highly recommend. The specials are constantly updated, if you manage to get a hold of the pork when it's available you're going to find yourself extremely lucky. The staff are always very friendly and polite, and happy to take care of any issues that may arise, i can only recall one time that there was one, and it was when their regular lamb supplier had some issues and couldn't deliver at that moment in time, however a week later it was back to deliciousness as per usual. A great value for money restaurant that is always going to be on my go to list as long as they're in business, and with their great reputation keeping them as busy as they are, i would safely wager that's going to be a very long time to come. Word to the wise, BOOK A TABLE friday through sunday, otherwise you might find yourselves disappointed not to get a seat.

Really great food and vibe! We ordered the lamb yiros wrap and beefteki wrap. The servings were generous and it was affordably priced. The beefteki was beautifully charred. My only gripe was that the beefteki was a tad too salty. The lamb on the other hand, was perfectly seasoned. I wouldn't mind coming back again to try some of their other menu offerings.

ordered lamb cutlets and chips -- lamb was definitely burnt. didn't bother complaining about it since the lamb was still excellently cooked although the burnt taste definitely detracted from its flavour. chips were decent, but wish there had been something to refresh the palate (they offer chips OR salad as a side although i wish they'd offer both). yiros was slightly better because they weren't burnt.

wraps were the cheapest so they were the most worth for money since they were generously portioned.

service was friendly and professional. prices were decent although i reckon the wraps are worth it more than anything else and not sure if i would come back for anything else. otherwise a decent place.

Fantastic little corner location with additional footpath seating. Great food and reasonable prices make this the better of the Greek restaurants in the West End.

Be sure to make a reservation as getting in can be difficult without one even if your a twosome.

Saganaki cheese is really special if you have never tried a fried cheese before. But it's a little bit salty. The octopus is fresh and tender. Service is good. But If you are not a special-like food-hunter, you might not enjoy it.

It was our first time in Brisbane and this is the first time we tried Greek food as well. Got a recommendation from a friend saying Little Greek is a very good place so we tried it on the first night we here. Food is really good, quick service, nice atmosphere. We love the Greek Salad, simple but amazing. I forgot the actual name of the food that we had but the vegetable one with cheese was really good. Overall, a very good place that everyone should try when in Brisbane 😄

There are so many Greek restaurants in West End. This may not be as 'cosy' as others but it's definitely atmospheric and the best value for money! Excellent quality of food, great service. The vegetarian share plate for 2 is amazing and $38 is such a great price for what you get!

What it says on the box - a little Greek taverna - but in south Brisbane. Good honest authentic home cooking with some nice twists. The dessert servings are more than generous. Wait staff friendly quick and happy - what more do you want?

It was our first time at Little Greek Taverna the other night. We ordered the Cheese Bread and Spanakopita for entree and the Florinian for Two and beef meatballs for main, with pita in place of the complimentary french bread. Little Greek is BYO but there is a bottle-o close by. The cheese bread was okay - the bread was fresh with a tomato sauce and crumbled feta on top. Our personal preference would have been for the bread to be lightly toasted. The spanakopita was quite delicious. The main was okay, the meat wasn't super tender but it was tasty enough. The cheese that comes with this platter is really nice. The food was more than we needed for 2 but we did consciously over-order to try things. The positives are that the food is decent, the prices are very reasonable and our waiter was really lovely. Downsides would be the table location close by the road. Whilst I do admit to preferring Lefkas, Little Greek is great value.

Love the fresh herbs! As always, the halloumi was grilled and nicely dressed in lemon, herbs & olive oil. The pita bread and red peppers dip was great too. I also got souvlaki pork skewers which had a nice flavour but were a bit dry. The food is very reasonably priced and the service is fast. Definitely a great place for share plates too.

A Brisbane favourite with good reason. If you can get a seat here you will be served cheap but delicious Greek fare by friendly staff. The couples meals are very good value, remember to add a pita bread.
The spanikopita is the best I've ever had.

Food here is delicious. My personal favourites are the halloumi and calamari which was crunchy on the outside and soft and juicy on the inside. Octopus, lamb skewers and Greek salad were all delicious. Must try this place out!

So I finally made my way to Little Greek Taverna for dinner and ordered lamb yiros with salad and pide with taramasalata.
Didn't get the crispy shavings of meat that I usually would associate with yiros. The meat was instead soft, tender and moist with a lemony olive oil flavour. It tasted quite okay, but certainly is never going to be a favourite. The salad was nice and fresh and the bread was thick and warm but not as soft and fresh as say as what you get at Lefkas Taverna. The taramasalata was satisfactory.
Overall, not a bad meal, but Lefkas or the Yiros shop are ahead of the Little Greek Taverna when it comes to yiros.
Ordered my favourite galaktoboureko, and it was delicious as usual. As I've said before, the galaktoboureko form here is the best I've had in Brisbane.

This is my first time to a Greek style restaurant. The food is pretty good and the staff is friendly. My friends and I really like the crispy fried mushroom. At first, we feel like it'd be a waste to deep fry the mushroom, but surprisingly the mushroom is juicy with the yogurt and chive sauce, it's the best entree I have tried from this restaurant. The meat dishes is also nice with the Greek salad, especially the meat's juicy. However, the cutlery seemed to be not so clean as there are some marks on it. But, in general, it's a restaurant which is worth it to revisit again.

Had dinner before the rugby test. We had a couple of dips with flatbread as starters and two of us had the lamb shanks from the specials menu. They were great. The other two had vego meals which were large, fresh and tasty. The waitress was super attentive and friendly. Very reasonably priced restaurant with good quality food. Sat outside and still managed to stay dry and warm despite the rain.

The octopus for share is soooo yum, it's tender and the sauce is a little bit sour so it's quite appetizing. The Moussaka is good too, it is soft but it is just a little little bit salty for me. Overall, it is a great restaurant.

Great find in west end. Went for a Sunday lunch with friend here. We ended up choosing this place by chance and boy were we pleased. We ordered goat a lamb dishes and were really happy with what we got. The place is quite small and thats what probably makes the food tasty. This place is definitely worth a revisit.

Well !!! The day I landed to Brisbane, I went out in search for good dinner and luckily I landed up to this place since I was residing near to this. Thanks to Zomato !!! I think the place would be always full in the evenings coz there were few empty tables and I was there pretty early, say by 5ish.
Ambience - 4/5
Food - 4/5 I had the chicken souvlaki pita
Service - 5/5 thanks to Sabrina for suggesting yummy food.
Anyways, must try place for everyone around. There are few options for veggies as well. Cheers guys !!!!

The Little Greek Taverna is my family's stand by Greek restaurant in Brisbane. It can be challenging to get a reservation, but we find that if you are willing to show up early (5:30-6pm) and promise to be out before 7pm, they can usually squeeze you in. When it is just my wife and I, or a group of friends, we plan further ahead to get a 7-8pm reservation. I could just eat Haloumi and Saganaki for a meal, especially the one they do in honey...yummy! The plate of chicken yiros is a favorite for all ages. Great value - highly recommend.

Came here tonight after reading all the good reviews. We shared the kefalograveria saganaki. It was yum. I had the chicken yiros with salad. It was very nice and tasty. I was full but not a huge serve.
My partner had a lamb yiros pita and a chicken one. He preferred the chicken. Most tables were reserved but we got a table easy at 6pm.

I have wanted to try this this place for the longest time and it didn't disappoint. I ordered a haloumi wrap with veg and i never thought something so simple could be so delicious! I could have just eaten the pitta bread, it was spongy and soaked in all the flavours of the filling. My husband ordered the Santorini chicken, it was citrusy and tasted like Summer, i will be ordering that next time!

Fantastic. I love this place. Love the atmosphere, staff & especially (& more importantly) the food.
I've been here about 4 times (went again today), once again, I wasn't dissapointed.
On our first couple of visits we enjoyed our meals soo much we even went in at the end to compliment the manager / front of house.
The service is always pretty slick & staff seem genuinely warm. This very likely a family affair. Even some of the very young staff members are knowledgeable, smiling & efficient.
I've now tryed quite a few things on the menu. My favourites are the terropita (?), it's pastry & cheese deliciousness & the lamb yiros. While the plate of lamb isn't always aesthetically 'pretty' (it's a plate of bbq lamb after all) it's mouthwatering & very filling, it comes with a really rustic, Chunk version of a Greek salad. The Lemon potatoes & goat dish are all winners as well.
I like this place soo much I even had my Birthday here last year. Booked a table on the day for 15 without too many issues. I highly recommend it. I'll probably be back again in the next couple of months as now most of my best friends are in love with the place as well.
btw, It's fine to BYO & there is a very good bottleshop across the road.

From the savoury Souvlaki to the crumbly Kataifi, this genuinely Greek taverna is the perfect West End haunt to bring a group of close friends and enjoy a good night out.
We went for one of the banquet menus and loved every dish. The meats were tender and full of flavour and the dips fresh and tasty. At $35 per head it was great value for money too.

Awesome suburban Greek restaurant that always seems to be busy - Thursday night was no exception as every table was full. Value is excellent - $35 banquet menu had everything you wanted. Dips and flatbread; calamari and octopus; chicken, pork and lamb souvlaki; lemon potato and Greek salad plus dessert. The grilled meats had a beautiful char and the desserts were sweet and delightful. Top place to come with friends.

Can't beat the haloumi +/- lamb wrap at Little Greek, the greatest value menu item. Always full every night of the week, this is a West End favourite. With the extra benefit of BYO and a bottle-o around the corner, Little Greek is a really awesome destination for groups - just make sure you book!

Came here a little while ago for dinner with family and have some mix feelings about this place. I initially thought prices were quite cheap but when the meals came out, it made sense; serving sizes do reflect the prices. Not necessarily a bad thing, just something to be aware of as big eaters might need to order some sides.
Speaking of sides, we ordered a bowl of chips to share before/while we had our meals but they never came out until we had all finished our mains. Some of our drinks weren't delivered either until chased upon.
Numerous excuses were thrown our way but it was pretty obvious what had happened. When the wait staff are more concerned about making long conversations and being overly friendly like we're long lost relatives with every table in his or her section, certain items and basic service are bound to be missed. Not really an issue, just a bit of an annoyance really.
Food itself was delicious though. I ordered the goat special and it was very tender and sauce was full of flavour.

Been to Little Greek a few times and it never disappoints! Food and service is always great and portions are good for what you pay for(very affordable). You can taste the authenticity in this food (especially the char grill in the souvlaki) I would recommend ordering a few dishes to share to make the greek experience more special. Definitely book for 4 or more people during busy periods as this is a small restaurant. Cannot wait to return back to Little Greek!

This place is on the corner and is always packed. Reservations are definitely needed. The decor is clean and polished and the tables are simply set which is fine. Service is friendly and professional and during the busy periods the wait is a little long but they do get back to you! Food is delicious and full of flavour, clean and fresh tasting to the palate.

Don't understand what the bad reviews are on about.... Service was great on both occasions when fiancé and I went for Saturday and Wednesday dinners. We didn't have a booking on Saturday and it was full house but we were attended to quickly and had a table ready in half an hour. The spanakopita and moussaka were excellent. Byo!

So good I'm not sure if the negative reviewers were actually at the same restaurant... The service was friendly and efficient. The food is proper Greek food, the kefalograviera saganaki was (crispy, tasty, deliciousness) amazing and the lamb souvlakia was tender and full of beautiful Greek flavours - I work just down the road and will definitely be coming back.

My husband and I LOVE this place. Meals are fast, service is efficient and the price is unreal for a 'we don't feel like cooking tonight' restaurant meal. BYO is also a great perk. You've got to be lucky to get in at the last minute but it's always our first choice when we want to eat out. Eggplant moussaka is amazing!

Excellent food, excellent service what more can you ask for?. This place was amazing! I'll definitely be coming back! I had excellent service from the waiters! In particular Michael and Kriakas(?) (his name was very Greek). These boys knew the menu and were able to answer all the questions I asked them both including making some great recommendations ie: octopus and a chicken special - these were our meals! Fantastic flavours! Very authentic! All in all, service was perfect and staff were extremely friendly, food was even better than perfect and I can't wait to get back there next time I'm up in Brisbane! thanks Guys for the excellent dining experience!

8/10. Definitely a winner. Cheap, delicious food with friendly staff. I did felt quite rushed, as though we were expected to eat and leave straight away but they are super busy all the time. The food was a little oily for my liking (I know Greek food is supposed to have quite a bit of olive oil but I felt this was over the top) but it was quite delicious. Will definitely be going back.

Love at first bite. It was either the garlic prawns or lamb wrap which caught my eye on that buttery december evening. It was my first date with my now current boyfriend of almost a year. Being the food snob I am, I was judging his choice the minute we walked in. What can I say? It worked a treat! The atmosphere was every bit relaxing with an older man playing the saxophone to dull the passing cars. The service was impeccable with a nice greek waiter tending to all of our needs. I would highly recommend this place if you're after a reasonably priced yet delicious meal that's a little different to the standard thai/italian feast. So put down the typical pad thai and carbonara and step out of your comfort zone and into this greek taverna.

Wonderful service and great food!. We went on a whim last Saturday night to West End for some Greek food. The lovely guys at Little Greek Taverna managed to fit our table of seven in and by focusing us on the quicker to prepare parts of the menu, got us fed and out in no time.

And the food was lovely! To die to sagnaki. Wonderful Taramasalata with pita. Authentic dolmades (massive). Great vegetarian options like the grilled mushrooms. And succulent tender tasty roast lamb.

Next time, I am booking.

Bring me the fetta!. We were greeted as soon as we walked up. We were ask if we had a reservation, as per usual, we didn't. The greeter told us to wait whilst he saw the manager about any free tables. As we stood there for 5 minutes or so, we had 3 other staff ask if we need assistance. A line had slowly built up behind us, as a greeter returned we were told they had a table only until 6:30, which we were fine with because we were seeing a movie at 7.
We were then seated in a cramped corner around the side, with a view into the prep area. I was disturbed that the man prepping wore nothing to keep his rather long hair out of food. We then had a waitress introduced herself and then take our drink order. She returned briskly and ask if we were ready. We asked for more time. Time in which another party was seated in her area, which she served promptly, bring them there drinks and then taking their orders.
By the time they'd finished ordering, we were ready to order. However she walk straight past us and didn't return for several minutes.
By the time she came back I was starved. We ordered 2 dips, TZATZIKI and TIROKAFTER, which came with french stick bread, which was obviously bought from the Coles across the road. The Tzatziki was somewhat watery and the Tirokafter was similar to a salsa that missing all the chuncky bits of tomato and capsicum. We then had the SPANAKOPITA, which was delicious,but a little over done. Spinach and fetta in scroll of puff pastry, garnished with lemon and (I think) Thyme. My partner who hates spinach, loved it. The lemony flavour lingered on my tongue. All of this was barely able to fit on to the tiny table.
As for mains, we did not receive them until 6:20. 10 minutes before we had to leave! And the group next to us, that had walked in 20 minutes after us, had received and finished their meals but the time we got ours.
I had order the LAMB SOUVLAKI and SALAD, which was also marinated with lemon. It was well cooked, juicy and soft. And then I had the salad... Now I am a big fan of Greek salad, there is nothing I love more than creamy, salty fetta, crisp cucumber and ripened tomatoes. But this FETTA, oh my good God, it was delicious! I've never had a fetta like that! The only thing is, you just get one slab of it. You can get more in a little bowl for $3, but I wasn't willing to flag down the waitress to get any more.
My partner a a Lamb Stew, that I cannot for the life of me, remember the name of. I tried it, and it tasted like any other Lamb stew I've had before. There was nothing outstanding about it. So we paid, this cost us around $62, and it was quite a big eat.
Definitely go back for more fetta!

Attended on a Saturday night, was a bit worried about some of the reviews however my experience was amazing. We arrived around 20 minutes before our booking (having a later dinner) and were seated immediately. We had a share platter of pitas, dips, feta, olives & sweet chillis which was amazing (by the time we got there they were out of hommus and eggplant dips), also had halloumi and crispy mushrooms. All could not be faulted. We ordered 5 mains and a side to go with and all came out within about 10 minutes of the entree's all were amazing and could not be faulted. Staff were attentive and helpful and all in all was a wonderful evening.

Flavoursome flood. Ordered the crispy fried mushrooms ($6), garlic prawns ($16) and a coffee frappe ($3), only coming to $25 for very reasonable serving sizes. My girlfriend and I shared the dishes which were full of flavour. The only thing i can criticise are the mushrooms which werent crispy enough. The staff are friendly, however one staff appeared to be new as he referred to another co-staff to take our order. He was also slightly awkward to be around, but certainly not uneasy. Overall woohooo to this restaurant, will be coming back weekly after indoor rock climbing.

Review of Amatuers. This place is awesome with an incredible balance of flavors across some very interesting dishes.
==========================================================
Wow the three "Doesn't like it" reviews on the front are written by significant examples of "the Amateur Diner" and they are the dregs of the cultured world.

- This one really takes the cake!!! Apparently lived all around the world but then this "......as it is apparently busy during Saturday evenings...." - NO EXPERIENCED DINER goes out on a Saturday night and expects good service from highly popular, high volume restaurants, only an incredibly ignorant Amateur Diner does this! Go to your McDonald's and KFC for your meals in the future!

- "Tried to ring them and make a reservation for a small group of us several times over the course of a day" - this buffoon was probably calling during the most busy times of the day for their busiest day of the week, "it's called a walk in" you fool, it is extremely rare that a "small group" can't walk up to any restaurant and get seated!!

- "The first time I have left a restaurant/cafe without eating. Annoyed." again a pathetic revue based on bread and the impatience of an Amateur Diner. Nowhere do you note how busy the place was for your 30min wait.

Dinner review. I loved going to Little Greek Taverna. They are busy for a good reason, because they are that good. So don't feel they are being any less accomodating when you walk up to them with no booking before hand. They are genuinely busy and others have made bookings. Book atleast 3-4 days in advance. It can be a little crowded outside, but that's ok as it creates a good atmosphere. It's quiet enough in Brisbane as is, it's good to be surrounded with a decent crowd. The lemon potatoes side is a neat touch, the chicken skewers are always quality. Friendly staff and prompt service. Highly recommended.

Portions were large and satisfying!

Service was fantastic, our waitress was very attentive and friendly which pleasantly surprised me. Sometimes with large groups you can tell some wait staff just want to get you in and out but we had excellent service the whole night.

I have visited this little restaurant at West End more times than I can count and have had an assortment of dishes. On my last visit I started off with Mama's salsa dip and a feta and capsicum one, both served with Pita bread. Both were delicious! For mains my friend order the Lamb stew special and it tasted fabulous! The meat was literally falling apart on the fork and the stew had a beautiful flavour. I went for one of my favourites, the chicken souvlaki with salad. I don't know what seasoning Little Greek puts on their souvlakis but it really is tasty. Not a huge fan of greek salads even this manages to tantalise my tastebuds. An absolute winner and a West End institution!!!

Best Greek in Brisbane and one of Brisbane's best restaurants. I love Greek food and have tried most of the restaurants in Brisbane. Nowhere comes close to even touching upon the quality of the food at this restaurant. Each dish is immaculate and created using fresh and quality ingredients. Each meal is not only delicious, but healthy and luscious. The lamb souvla is an absolute bargain at $15.00 - a large, succulent and tender piece of lamb with greek salad/lemon potatoes.

I recently went on a trip to Europe and the food at this restaurant was some of the only I missed whilst overseas.

Absolutely must try! Can not rightfully call yourself a Brisbane local until you've eaten at this restaurant.

Little Greek Taverna - West End, Brisbane. Impossible to miss, Little Greek Taverna is right at the mouth of West End and displays itself conspicuously with 180 degree exposure. On any given day it is packed with diners; to even have a fighting chance of getting a table you need to book - or so most people would think. I went here on a Sunday at lunch-time with my mum and we managed to get a table off the cuff by a few minutes; it was nearly noon and soon after people began to spill in to the restaurant making it almost full in a matter of minutes.

Little Greek Taverna is aesthetically very simple. There is only really a kitchen and paying area inside so most of the tables are outside - the way they are arranged is very interesting. Upon the sidewalk are numerous tables are lined up to the extent of the length of the restaurant (where I sat was this) and along the balcony area are seats lined like barstools. This gives it a bit of character, along with cementing it as a casual place to dine - being a fraction of a stone's throw away from the main road as well as having a lot of pedestrians walk by you does make it interesting.

Despite the busy service here, the waitresses were very calm and gregarious. They showed enthusiasm in waiting the tables and for the food; in fact, they showed no annoyance when asked about the food and were more than willing to explain it. There were also a number of small gestures (upon request) that they did with a smile.
Food came out in decent timing as well.

My mum and I chose the "Ionian Blue For Two" platter which consisted of;
A Dip Of Your Choice (a sweet pepper dip was chosen)
Haloumi
Horiatiki Salad
Chargrilled Calamari
Choice of either garlic prawns or prawns saganaki (the prawn saganaki was chosen)

To begin (before ordering) some bread was given for nibbling while waiting. It was probably a standard French loaf that can be gotten from the supermarket. Very bland, I gave it a small bite before deciding to wait for the main course.
The main course was a lot better. As usual, the haloumi was well received; this one was milder than normal in taste and well cooked.
The chargrilled calamari was tender and delicious with generous sprinklings of herbs and lemon. It was cooked just the right amount of time.
A Horiatiki Salad is essential a vegetable salad consisting of cucumber, tomato and raw red onion with olves, chili and feta cheese. With the odd exception of the strong flavours of olive, feta cheese and the chili the salad essentially was what it was - a selection of raw vegetables. Raw vegetables are really my forte.
Prawn Saganaki is prawn in a spicy red salsa. They were robust in flavour and delicious; as was the red pepper dip gotten with the platter. However, the two choices were quite similar which is more fault of ordering than anything.
On the side, we got some pita bread but there was not enough given the amount they could have been used for as well as the fact that they were edible on their own.

Afterwards, it was time for dessert. There were a couple of desserts that were on the menu - macaroons and one that I forget the name of, and that is the one I chose.
It was not unlike galaktombouriko, with custard-filled pastry warmed-up and drizzled with honey. The combination of tastes was dynamic. I had a hard time cutting the pastry with only a fork and had to get a knife. This was a delicious end to the meal.
Accompanying the dessert was a straight frappe without milk. Overall, there was a small lot of cold espresso given the size of the glass but it was very tasty.

After hearing a lot of the hype about the Little Greek Taverna and seeing how popular it is many times, I was more than willing to give it a go. The reviews and hype do not disappoint. Not once did the waitresses make you feel unwelcome. I am very lucky that I managed to get here so readily and I will make sure that I can get to here again.

Great food! Too fast and noisy!. This is good Greek food particularly if you like fast service and noisy locations. We had dinner on the footpath right next to the Boundary Street bus stop and the diesel fumes was unpleasant. The waiters are fast but it's not the place if you have memories of relaxed dining in Greece. It's too noisy and frantic.

Delicious & cheap!. I ate at Little Greek Taverna last week and was happy with the overall experience. It was freezing cold and pouring with rain and whilst we were sitting outside we were under cover and had a heater and were actually very warm. We had pita bread with dip to start, I had slow roasted lamb with Greek salad for the main, and my friend who is vegetarian combined two entree's and had the crispy zucchini and stuffed field mushrooms. Both were delicious and at great prices.

Amazing!. I went to Little Greek Taverna with 7 others on 28 June 2012. The food was amazing (as usual) and the service was unbelievable. We were served by RUTH and she was so attentive and came to us at all the right times and when a new person arrived at our table, she came straight away to give them a wine glass etc. When she went on a break, she came out with an ice bucket with the beers that we'd brought - in case we wanted them while she was on a break!!! Such a lovely girl - she should be acknowledged for the great job she did. This wasn't my first visit to Little Greek Taverna, and it certainly won't be my last, either. I'll be raving about this place to everyone I know!

Fantastic every time. I've been here several times and every single time I've had a fantastic experience. I've so far enjoyed the lamb souvra, salad, horta, tatziki and piperys dip, spanakopita... Amazing value for money and cooked to absolute perfection. Staff are consistently friendly, knowledgeable, attentive and even on the busiest nights I've never had to wait long for a meal. The only downside was the single shared toilet around the corner that always seems to be occupied.

WORTH IT. If you get pissed off when restaurants are unprepared and "don't have anymore" of certain menu items ...don't go here.If you don't enjoy greek dancing, music, and a loud party while you're eating ...don't go here.If you can't handle a bit of extra oil on your plate ...don't go here.If you don't appreciate a more "cozy" setting and sitting outside ....don't go here.If you can look past all of these things, then the food and service will definitely make up for it. I came with quite a large party (about 10-15 of us) at 7pm on a Saturday night. We were seated immediately. We weren't pushed to order, even though they were very busy (as always). Once we were ready, we were informed about the specials, which the waiter knew a lot about and was happy to be honest about (what's not so good, what's amazing).We ordered, amongst other things, the cheese and roasted bell pepper on bread (literally the most amazing starter I've had for a long time), the three cheese pastry (nothing outstanding), trio of dips (not bad, regular supermarket type fare). For mains, we encountered a bit of a problem. Three out of us picked things which we were told were good, only to have the waiter come back and say that they've run out. Now, normally this annoys me quite a lot, and it particularly annoyed me since Lefkas is always so busy and has been for quite some time - you would think they would be prepared. And it wasn't even my choice of main they were out of. Eventually, of what I can remember, one of us had the lamb souvla, one had the special spiced meat balls, one had garlic prawns, one had fish and salad, and I had chicken and salad. Everyone was super happy with their mains, and I even tried all of the above and thought they were all tasty, excellently seasoned, fresh, tender, came out hot (temperature wise), and large sized portions. My chicken was amazing, so tender, so well-seasoned, and just beautiful and crispy on the outside. Surprisingly hard to get so right these days. The greek salad accompaniment was also excellent, and they weren't stingy with the feta like some other places. Only thing I would point out is the excess olive oil drizzled on the plate (it's a Greek thing - if you don't understand, you won't ever appreciate it). I was super happy with my main, and none of my friends had any commplaints with theirs. The food absolutely blew my mind, and quickly had me forgetting the unorganised and unacceptable nature of "not having" various menu items at a restaurant.The service was excellent. The waiter joked with us, was very honest, provided his opinion, was impressive with his knowledge relating to items on the menu, and refilled our water jugs constantly. We didn't have to ask for a single thing the entire night. We stayed for about four hours (I know) and didn't get pushed or our plates cleared away early once.While the decor isn't that great (especially since most people are sitting outside - I actually couldn't even see whether there was tables available inside), the ambience was excellent. They had a live Greek band there and the waiters and waitresses (and whoever wanted to join) began dancing the traditional Greek dance around the restaurant, linking arms - very entertaining and very West End.Overall, an excellent night. Very happy with most things, and those which were a bit unexpected were at least recovered by the service, ambience and food. Very reasonable prices. Booking at this place is a MUST. And if you're like us, you might get lucky and have the African man come past and talk about the city in the sky to you until the waiters call the code red and usher him away. You'll know that I mean if you've been.

A Northern Greek Platter was the choice from a menu with plenty of options. A great variety, pork, beef, chicken, greek salad and my personal fave the halumi. Needless to say it was delicious, topped with great sevice from various waitress' though a special shout out to Ruth(?). If you haven't been there, you should.

The chicken tiros on a plate, fried zucchini and haloumi cheese. Cost about $50 and is amazing! We have bought our friends and some have loved it and some not so much. I think it depends in what u order. I ordered scallops one time and will never do it again they where horrible!! Staff are lovely! The little columbian girl is so sweet! I definately recommend.

Best Greek Food in Brisbane. Little Greek Taverna is a cute little restaurant in West End. Can not get over how delish all the food is here. A few negative things though: On two ocassions, although on the main menu, Yemiste was not available. I also dont like how cramed the seating can be and wish it had a slightly bigger space. Having said that, I have always had an amazing meal here (try the octopus and the lamb) and for the price, it can't be beat.

Great spot. I've been a few times, and each time has been memorable. The food is tasty. hearty and satisfying, and the staff are so incredibly patient when explaining all the unfamiliar terms on the menu, even though I imagine they have to do it 99 times a day. My most recent visit was with a larger group and we took part in the banquet. Super value, there was more food than we could eat and none of it disappointed. Maybe the lamb souvlakia were a little dry but in the grand scheme of things who really cares. They were delicious and everything else was fantastic so that sort of thing fades into insignificance. The staff were lovely and welcoming, and very attentive, which is impressive considering how busy it can get there. Can't wait to come back

Who could stay cranky here?. I've been to the Little Greek Taverna on a number of occasions as I live locally, and every time, it's been a delight! I'm not exactly a "foodie", but I know a good cafe when I eat at one, and this place is wonderful. The food - you can read other reviews if you want the details - is great, but what is really impressive and makes me want to go back again and again is the atmosphere. The wait staff are such "up" people, they make you feel like there's not a problem in the world, and they RUN between tables! On Friday night (and maybe other times, but you'd have to check with them), they have lively Greek music, and I've found it's simply impossible to be in a bad mood in this jolly place. I love it!

Best Greek in Brisbane...if you can get a booking. Most Greek restaurants in Brisbane serve overcooked, dry meat. All the meat I've had at Little Greek Taverna has been tender and cooked perfectly. I eat more vegie and seafood dishes and my partner meat so banquets are difficult. You can order by portion here so we both end up happy and it works out the same price as a banquet. Service is impeccable. I did not enjoy my scallop dish, the manager apologized and refunded the amount. I was impressed. BYO too!

Great food - fast service - Yet again!!. Second visit as a dine in customer and once again the food and value for money was exceptional.

Although the restaurant was busy, the food came out fresh, hot and delicious and our table of seven were filled up with delicious Greek fare within 30 minutes of ordering.

We followed the waitress's advice on the "specials" both for entrees and mains and shared the meals. All dishes (except the kids meals) were delicious.

Would have liked the kids meals served earlier i.e with the breads or entrees and would have preferred that the main meal sides were served in separate bowls with the the mains maybe served platter style. There was too little room on the table with all of the separate mains (that were being shared) served on individual plates.

Would definitely go back though as this restaurant must be Number 1 for "Cheap Eats" in Brisbane!!!!

THIS IS THE BEST PLACE EVER!!. Went here for my mums 50th birthday- my sister booked ahead and they said they would sing happy birthday for her.

WELL.

We ate HEAPS. i mean, 5 people ate a mass amount of entres and mains. Describing the food as spectacular would not give it justice.

This is the most delicious food I've eaten in my life.

The icing on the cake: They played happy birthday for my mum AND gave her a free cake! Our party looked at each other like 'who organised this?'. They organised this out of the goodness of their hearts. The cake was delicious also.

Thank you so much for the best dining experience ever. I will always come here when I am in west end.

The staff also get 10/10- so nice.

Oh, after we we're super full the bill only came to $130. We almost fainted.

I cannot recommend this place enough. GO HERE NOW.

Good Greek.. This place is one of those rare gems. You know, cheap, delicious, friendly staff, efficient service, etc. No wonder why the place was packed to the rafters on a Tuesday night. We started with a large greek salad and spanakopita - the salad was generous and the spanakopita wasn't as crisp as i would have liked, but still yum :) Then was lamb yiros, zucchini fritters with tzatziki, spicy peppers and tomatoes with feta, and stuffed field mushroom topped with feta; all under $10 each, were all very satisfying; but next time, I would order some pita to soak up the lashings of olive oil and juices seeping from the dishes, and perhaps less cheese...it was getting a bit salty. Anyhow, all is good when desserts are all less than $4. This is my kind of restaurant!

The atmosphere was good and the staff were excellent, bubbly, and very attentive. Our meals came out in a flash. We look foward to returning. Definitely recommend. :)

Pretty good!. I went to Little Greek Taverna just yesterday with a friend. Between the 2 of us, we ordered an appetizer (tiropita), a main (dolmades) and a lamb souvlaki wrap. The tiropita which was a baked feta cheese pastry and the dolmades which was rice and meat in a cabbage wrap was really really good! Highly recommended. Unfortunately, I thought the lamb souvlaki wrap was only so-so and it was why i wouldn't give this place an excellent rating. So if you're planning to go here, order the appetizers and the specials. Wraps are forgettable and not worth ordering.

Recent Comment About Yia Yia Domnas Cheese Bread. For our recent reviewer, Xao Shin.

Xan shin, I am one of the managers of the Little Greek Taverna, the Yia Yia Domnas Cheese Bread is a menu item and recipie in which our beloved grandmother, and mother of the master cook in the kitchen, taught and fed us for many of her living years.

Recently our grandmother passed away and this menu item, which is very popular, is in her memory!

The question here is not if you looked out the back and saw our grandmother or not, but if indeed you enjoyed the dish or not.

-----03 Jul, 2011-----

Continuing To Deliver As Best We Can. Management of the Little Greek Taverna would like to thank those recent reviews and feedback provided by the patronage that have dined with us.

Consistency is the key and we have received and continue to receive great feedback about the consistency, price comeptitiveness for quality that we provide at our establishment.

From time to time there have been comments made about the unavailability of menu items at the Little Greek.

Reviews have been performed and we continue to strive to deliver the quantities for the quality at the prices we find to be affordable for all ranges of patronage that dine with us.

Our specials which are quantitively cooked, fresh, daily with produce direct from our local market supply cannot be compremised in our limited kitchen space, we prefer to deliver these menu items (as seen on our blackboard and in the Kouzina section) fresh. Not only is this the case, but they are also cycled so variety is key on varying days as to what is cooked. To you our patrons, delivering $12 specials (or Kouzina items) that vary from day to day and are made from produce purchased fresh is what we strive to bring to you all, Not over stocked quantities of produce that are snap frozen, thawed and defrosted for the convenience of availability, so for this I would like to express to our diners that our specials and kouzina menu items are cycled and subject to availability. All other items that are regular menu items are available subject to season and supplier availability.

Having said this we are always striving to deliver a better service to Brisbane, as everyone knows, in life we can always get better and stronger and wiser.

Thank You

Little Greek Taverna,,,come to Melbourne!. My wife and I decided to get away for a long weekend about a month ago...heading north to Brisbane!

Apart from the usual "things to do" in Brissie - Dream World, Sea World...we also ventured to South Bank and West End...

They say that Melbourne has some of the best Greek Restaurants outside of Greece - I would agree. That is, until we stumbled into West Ends "Little Greek Taverna".

I'll admit that I'm a sucker for family owned and run restaurants...so...after speaking to one of the lively staff, I soon found out that both parents were cooking up a storm in the kitchen and their three (adult) children were running the show outside.

Both my wife and I ordered. Then ordered some more. The food was nothing short of devine: the dip and pita bread, calamari, marinated octopus, garlic prawns, saganaki - we ordered it all! When each dish arrived, my taste buds went into overdrive, prompting me (or the better half) to order something else!

The food at the Taverna would easily make Garry, George and Matt (Masterchef) weak at their chubby little knees.

After ordering desert (yes, we managed that too!), I asked for the bill - Ok, wasn't looking forward viewing the damage! BUT, it was so reasonable! Hugely impressed!

The food was simply some of the best I've ever had here in Australia, the staff were not only friendly, but managed to keep patrons entertained and...well, if Little Greek Taverna was based in Melbourne, not only could they easily charge more but all the restaurants on Lonsdale St would have to lift their already high standards!

Keep up the good work guys!

No Pita Bread......I don't think so. The Little Greek Taverna may run out of special items due to a restricted kitchen space and allocated portions from its Specials Board (Or Kouzina section). Which when I asked about this concerning aspect was greeted with a warranted explanation by the exuberant waiter Dimitri. It is the aspect the restaurant will not compromise, as I was told, and its about maintaining is daily fresh, market available produce, but never in my countless dining experiences has the best pita bread that you can find to wrap a delightful souvlaki or yiros in ever run out at the Little Greek.

The one thing every greek restaurant in town would guarantee would be their wraps (inclusive of the pita bread surrounding the internals). I mean these guys have run out of the free fresh bread before and when this has happened, they have ended up serving Pita Bread in its replacement out of respect for the traditional greek requirement of having bread dished out on a table, it would never occur the other way around surely. If a greek restaurant offering take away wraps, dips and "something" to put them on ever runs out of Pita bread, then they are guaranteed to shut their doors and close for the night. To end this note, that fluffy soft greek pita bread that all greek cuisine restaurants serve down in west end is just devine. Yummy!

I too have eaten across Greece and am Greek myself and I find the amount of Olive Oil that's drizzled across plates at the Little Greek Taverna and ALL other Greek restaurants in West End, usually not as ambitious as those "splashes" back home.

Bottom line, if you want to eat great greek food, I find, like most Greeks that you have a bucket full of options in West End. All the Greek cuisine providers down there deserve a pat on the back for really raising the bar in the last year!!

Finally, a greek restaurant packed with greek people and a table full of food is often a good sign of a good place. So when in West End, pay each one a visit and follow this final word of advice and which ever restaurant you eat in, It certainly will be better than "Not the Best Geek Around".

Location isn't an objective, look for a table with lots of polished off plates!.
Happy Hunting Guys, I did my hunting a long time ago and the only restaurant I frequent is our very own Little Greek.

Keep up the hard work down there guys!

AMAZING!!. The first time i have ever been here or heard about this place, and it was the best overall dining experience i have had in a long time - and i do not say that lightly!!

The service was excellent - very friendly staff and super efficient - everything ran like clockwork. The food was absolutely amazing and for once the serving size actually filled me up too! For a venue of this calibre I would normally expect to pay double what I did - the prices were very reasonable.

Without gushing too much - this redefined my definition of a great dining experience. I will be back many times to come!! Good on you Little Greek for doing such a great job - keep it up!

Awesome. The Little Greek Taverna is the most amazing restaurant I've ever set foot into. The food is fantastic, all home made with love. INCLUDING the sweets ,YUM!
Since the end of 2009 Little Greek Taverna has been the hotspot of West End.
The owners are extremely generous people as well as amazing cooks !! The fact that the restaurant, (well taverna as the name suggests) is family owned just adds to the experience. The owners and staff give their very best to make sure everyone leaves the restaurant well fed and happy. I myself would know as I have been blessed to work for the Little Greek Family.

The food is always at its freshest and Baba (Petro the cook) always puts his heart into every meal he cooks, getting up at 3 in the morning to make souvla the most popular dish on the menu (amazing lamb dish btw!) It is still on the small side space wise and people tend to forget that... The kitchen is tiny and the food is amazingly fresh so unfortunately it is sometimes natural to wait a little longer for a meal, especially when the restaurant is completely booked out, usually the food comes out at phenomenal speed but don't despair if like i said you might wait 5 or 10 minutes longer, one can always start of with some amazing dips which are also home made!! Pita bread and Tarama, an amazing potato and caviar dip is the way to go.. p.s tarama tastes amazing with a bowl of chips too if you don't feel like bread! Trust me!

If you've eaten at Little Greek before you might have noticed the shirts "i am what i eat, i'm a little greek" well i am not greek, but after working there for a year and a bit i might as well be. Like i said, the food, the owners and the staff make this place a unique experience. Don't forget it's small restaurant but behind it all lies a family with a huge heart and immense passion for great food and fantastic service.

I would recommend making a booking Tue - Sun!!!

Excellent food and service. The food and service as this restaurant were outstanding. You must have a reservation as the restaurant is small in size and it was a little bit hot, the air conditioning couldn't keep up. The waiter was really helpful at describing menu items and I was told by one of the Greek people at our table that the baklava was as good as his family's homemade version. Also very reasonably priced. Highly recommend.

Amazing value from this bustling restaurant. Friendly staff and speedy service complement the simple, delicious food. Try the lamb souvla, it is melt in the mouth tender. BYO only, with complementary bread which is handy as the dips are authentic and yummy. Overall Little Greek is cheap, super tasty and reliably cheerful.

Great food but needs to work on service. Little Greek Taverna is a great little restaurant that is certainly better then other Greek restaurants (which will not be named) in west end. I had the moussaka served with lemon potatoes with a side of dolmades wrapped in cabbage leaves instead of vine leaves. If I went back I would find it hard to choose something different as the meal was a great choice.

The only downside to the Little Greek Taverna is the service. The wait staff seemed to be running around totally clueless as to what they were supposed to be doing. Throughout the evening we were continuously approached by staff holding meals, asking us if it was ours. At one point we were given the cheque before even ordered our meals.

All in all, a great dining experience. 8/10

Fabulous - has restored my partners faith in West End greek!. Due to a few too many bad greek dining experiences in West End, my partner banned West End greek for a number of years.

I was starved of greek food and decided to put my foot down last night - we are both so glad I did.

The menu is extensive and varied - not sure what to order bc I want it all! Always packed, we were lucky to get a seat at 8.50pm on a Sunday night! Service was friendly, if a little frenzied (small kitchen, many many people - but they did their absolute best). One of the owners was there and we chatted to her at the end of our meal. She was a lovely, genuine person whose family has a passion for 'feeding people'!

We shared the Bouglourdi | (Feta cheese, capsicum & tomato baked on charcoal $8.00), which was smashing with our mains (or you could order it with Pita bread) some tzaziki ($4.00 - perfect blend of flavours). I had the lamb souvlaki plate with salad ($13.50) and my partner had the 8x beef Keftedes + Salad | $13.50.

Both were delicious, tender and juicy meats with that amazing greek charred flavour. The salads were fresh and all the sides were jam-packed with mouthwatering flavours. Massive tick! I don't know where they are getting their produce at the moment (due to QLD floods and poor quality produce everywhere else) but it was beautiful stuff.

Sizes were generous - the entree and two mains left my partner and I stuffed - we had to force the last bits down but couldnt stop bc they tasted gorgeous!

Has restored my partners faith in Greek food generally and I'm very happy to report that he has pronounced it our 'new greek place'! Well done LGT!

We'll be back shortly to try some other smashing meals - the owner highly recommends the lamb souvla but order ahead if you want it for dinner - she says it sells out during lunch!

I have never reviewed for restaurant before.
But Little Greek has a value!

I went to the restaurant last wed with my friend.
We always want to go there . Cuz I heard that lamb cuisine is very good.
We ordered Lamb Yiros w Salad , Chargrilled Calamari, Flat white and Frappe.

I don't like lamb before. But I love lamb now !!
Lamb Yiros is very good! No strong smell!

Flat White's froth was thick ....... but taste and art was good.

Anyway~ My friend and I have had good memory!
In fact my friend went back her country .
But I'm still here. And I'll go to the restaurant every week.

My favourite greeks in Brisbane..... I am greek so its very hard to find a place that meets the standard of what you are used to getting at home...

Little greek taverna is the only greek restaurant that meets these standards and I eat there at least twice a week.

I have raved about it to all my friends and family who are quick to let me know how good their little greek experience was...

I know that you will not leave disappointed, not only is the food fantastic, the service is great...

If you are going with 4 ppl + i recommend the little greek glendi as you get a taste of everything...

I also recommend the kolokithakia and calamari... My favourites..

Superb food, Service a little dissapointing... I took my 13 year old cusin to dinner here on Saturday night, I've not ever had greek food before and decided to be a little daring and try it. We arrived at the restaurant just after 6pm there was quite a number of vacant tables and I guess the restuarnat at that point would have been haf full.

Wandered up to the coutner was begrugendly greeted by a young waitress and asked for a table for two to be told there was no room after seeing the shockd look on my face she decided she might check with the manager I then waitied 10 mins for the manager whom again said there was no room at the moment and then changed her mind and said she could sit us @ the 'high bars' (bar counter like tables) I said tat would be fine.

Once seated we startred looking at the menu, I would hav liked to have been able to ask the waitress more about the various dishes but felt this wouldn't be appreciaited so we just stuck with a pretty standard chicken and lamb dish that I knew I'd eat.

On a brighter note, I was extremely impressed by the meal even my 13yr old cousin who is a very fussy teenager enjoed his meal. The greek side salad I had with my lamb dish was just beautiful I wil certaily go there again and I hope that my bad experience with the service was only a once off as it did put a little bit of a sour note on a wonderful new food experience.

Hard to Beat Greek. Let me add my voice to those who praise the virtues of this tiny place. I just helped polish off one of their char-grilled seafood platters and a plate of delicious dips and pita bread. All excellent! Waitstaff great. Greek coffee and sweets finished off a great meal. For around $26 a head this is hard to beat Greek.

My Greek God!!!. This Is An Excellent Greek Restaurant.

My friends had told me all about this one knowing how much I love experiencing differently cultered food and, ive never looked back.

According to them, the Kitchen Head has the best reputation in Brisbane, apparently Greek food lovers from as far as the Gold Coast and even Sunshine Coast, infact apparently greeks from Sydney, unbelieveably had commented on how the quality of Greek cuisine on offer here is the best you will find, so I thought its about time I put it to the test.

Now dont even get me started on the prices of the food when I first looked at the menu.

Compared to other venues in Brisbane, this is the cheapest where it could easily be more expensive without compremising the quality, but hats off to the people running this joint for not only killing the opposition in price, but having maintaining the best quality.

If its available, you should try the Lamb Shank Souvla, ive heard that the kitchen gets up on a Friday, Saturday and Sunday morning from about 3am to get this prepared for the day and more than offen its all gone by the time dinner service starts just due to sheer demand from such a small kitchen!! So with that in mind, Lunchtimes are perfect on a Saturday and Sunday. Lets just say, since I went the first time, ive been regular every Sunday at lunchtime for this Signature Dish of theirs...

Other meals experienced on other nights I have gone include the Beef Patties and thos Beef Meatballs and, having visited Greece once before, its like I was tasting EXACTLY what I had tasted over there when I went to a steakhouse over there.

Ive also gone the Garlic Prawns and Garlic Scollops on another occasion and I found that delightful too!

Much has been said in comments about the standard FREE bread you get when you sit down and eat there, guys, seriously whether you get it or not and your not satisfied with it, its FREE, try going some Pita Bread instead, I dont know where these guys get the Bread from, but there is simply nothing else like it in Brisbane and your guaranteed to get it for just $3 extra. If you do have an issue with eating bread before hand, then the Pita and Tarama or Mamas Salsa Dip or Tirokafteri is the way to go.

So to conclude, Its a small and intimate restaurant, the service is great, the staff really make you feel welcome and you certainly end up feeling like your in amungst all the action as food is ordered and then whizzed out to those at their respective tables.

its oh so greek! and far from not being so!!!

All we need now is some greek dancing. This place will become an institution in Brisbane for sure! Thats the only thing its missing, a greek dance or two from the staff...hats off to the team at the Little Greek Taverna.

One experience does not define a restaurant...... I have eaten at the Little Greek Taverna several times now and has become one of my favourite places to eat.
I have tried almost everything on the menu and would have to say I absolutely love the chargrilled octopus & calamari...............
I have taken my parents to the Little Greek, and for my Dad, who is typically a three meat and veg man, he was pleasantly surprised, and finished everything on his plate.
I would also like to comment on what Anna has stated in her review. Basically, whenever I eat at the Little Greek I have no complaints.........I have never NOT received my bread, but perhaps it would be an idea to ask next time, as I have noticed they are SO flat out.
Anyway, my advice......beautiful food, great atmosphere, excellent prices.....I would recommend it to anyone.

Good cheap Greek. We go here often, it's BYO so you can take a bottle of wine and enjoy a casual dinner. The staff are friendly and helpful and the portion sizes are good.

We normally get the $65.00 platter. It could be presented a little better - there is a lovely salad, dips and bread, gorgeous halloumi and a plate of unidentifiable meat that i think would be better left on the skewers.

Between the three of us we can never finish it and we have no complaints about the taste, quality, price or service.

My tips: pay the $3.00 extra and get the delicious fluffy pita bread instead of the free dry regular bread. And skip the baklava - it's not the best ;)

As one of West End's busiest hubs - and they have a lot of busy hubs - Little Greek Taverna is quite relaxing once you get in. The waitresses are some of the friendliest this side of the city and are more than willing to explain things and accept the smaller requests. A very good place for a social meal it is clear the appeal of this place - its affordable, tasty and easy to find.

Little Greek Taverna is decked out in a modern white and green fitting; the colours are symbolic of the north of Greece (think mountains and agriculture) and rivals the traditional blue and white southerners down the road. With more outside than inside seating, this busy little restaurant wraps around the corner and is great for people-watching. Even with the heaters it can get quite chilly, especially at night, so be sure to wear your winter woollies and rug up.

My first real meal in Brisbane was at Little Greek Taverna in the West End of Brisbane. They have just as much outdoor dining tables, as they do indoor. Rain or shine. The weather can’t really make up its mind here during this season. They love their patios. I was craving Roast Lamb but unfortunately Little Greek Taverna didn’t have any, unless it was one of the items crossed out of the menu. I chose the Florinian Style Lamb instead, while my friends ordered the Lemonato Ami, and Moussaka, and we also shared the Mezethes Platter to start and share. Their menu was a bit different than what we would see in our Canadian Greek restaurants. The Mezethes platter came with 3 different dips, a bit of pita bread, as well as olives, feta cheese, and pickled peppers. I thought it was a bit expensive at $25. The dips were good, and the pita bread was also a bit different than what I’m used to, but it’s better. It was toasted, and a lot thinner than pita we are served in

Went there twice. I loved the food and the service. Everything tastes fresh and delicious but my favourite was the Greek salad! I'll be going back for sure. Just be mindful that you might need a reservation as the restaurant is busy and small. Also the service might be slow as waiters seem not to be enough when it get busy. Although they still lovely. Highly recommended.

We made booking for Saturday night at this authentic Greek cuisine. And we are glad we did it, as it was full despite raining. Service was friendly, helpful and accomodating. Food was yummy. They were using freesh of ingredients for foods. We were so sorry not to try chargrilled octopus. They run out of it just before they have taken orders from us. Pitty, it was just 6.15 pm. We have ordered meat platter for two. First bread with your choice of dips, then flollowed by baked cheese amd fresh Greek salad. Meat on sticks was delicious. And all of food was at an affordable price. If you are not in Greek drinks you can BYO. Corcage charge was $4.00 per person. Great place, highly recommending.
