Very good staff, friendly and experienced. Helped us choose the menu. Timing very good with food and service. On the job as we sat down. Ambiance excellent. Noise level suitable. Big windows to look out. food very enjoyable.
What a lovely surprise to dine at a Greek restaurant that focuses on Cretan cuisine. The food is outstanding, staff attentive and very knowledgeable. Great addition to Camberwell.
I think One Piece Left review pretty much sums up everything there needs to be said about Elyros. The dining experience was amazing from start to finish, and I couldn't fault either the service or the food.
My partner and I decided to indulge in the set menu and for the quality and quantity of food that we got at $58 per person, this was extremely value for money. Starting of with 4 small dishes, each as good as the last, we were left impressed even before we reached the halfway point of our meal. The fava dip was an absolutely dream, and the waitress said it best when she described it as a dish that may sound simple but the complexity of the flavours will amaze you. Even though we knew we were filling ourselves up to quickly, we just had to ask for a second serve of bread to finish up the dip.
The cured pork with pear and pistachios was a dish that showcased bold yet complementary flavours, and with different textural elements to keep us captivated. The Cretan cheese pie was, as cliché as it sounds, so cheesy and the thin layer of pastry was so light and flaky.
My partner was hesitant about the fish, but once he had a taste of it, he was hooked. The flavours, and the fact that the fish was cooked incredibly well - firm to bite, yet delicate and tender, made this a dish you wouldn't forget easily.
By the time the lamb hit our table, I was ready to throw in the towel. Luckily I didn't as I otherwise wouldn't be able to savour such a brilliantly cooked lamb. Tender, moist, flavourful, and the meat fell of the bone without the need for a knife. Yes, the waiter said the Cretan knife was for decorative purposes only.
The hospitality we encountered was second to none, and the staffs were all courteous, warm and approachable. We really couldn't ask for more at Elyros. Perfect in all aspects!
Wow!! We had the premium set menu $70pp and it was the most modern Greek Cretan food we’ve eaten, mouthwatering deliciousness. Service was fantastic, ambience perfect. Highly recommend and will definitely go back.
Affordable nice food - we chose the set menu. The atmosphere was nice and staff were friendly and informative. We were celebrating a birthday, and staff were very accommodating.
Had dinner here last night, didn’t know that Greek food can be so adventurous. Definitely Greek on whole other level. We had the 4 course tasting menu and it was the best choice. We left the dishes choice to the waiter and he didn’t disappoint. Food was tasteful, tender, in case of the lamb and absolutely delightful.
Service was great and on point! Would recommend and venture back at some stage
We rated Elyros 4 stars at our last visit in 2018, and it’s pleasing to see its even better!! Possibly because we ordered the 3 course ‘Matina’ menu for $45 PP which we thought was great value.
The food was complimented by amazing wines as you would expect from a high class establishment.
It was also great to catch up again with Max. Max is french but who cares, his service and accent only added to the whole experience, although in the background was Disa calling the shots and a genuine multilingual Cretan.
If your in Camberwell extend your culinary experience to Cretan, similar too but in my view better than Greek cuisine.
I had my birthday party at the Amari Room yesterday. Highly recommended. The venue was superb, the 4 course sharing menu was exceptional, delicious and of high quality, and the service was friendly and excellent.
To be honest our knowledge of Greek cuisine is limited to gyros and souvlaki. This place well and truly opened our eyes to how good Greek food can be. Ordered 4 course lunch which we found was great value considering the quantity of food we'd eventually have. Started with 4 different mezze plates, all delicious and varied flavours. Next was barramundi, skin seared beautifully. This was followed by 8 hour cooked lamb with chips cooked in duck fat and rocket and walnut salad. Then rice pudding with baklava sauce. Wonderful decor and relaxed ambience with impeccable friendly service from our French waiter. Highly recommended in the crowd of Bourke Street restaurants near the station. We'll worth a revisit in the future.
The weekday set menu is excellent value at $50 for 3 courses, including a glass of wine. Starting with a selection of mezes including bread, dips, olives, kingfish ceviche, air dried pork and cheese pies, this in itself was substantial enough for a meal! The highlight was the cheese pie! This was followed by a beautifully cooked shoulder of lamb, accompanied by chips and a salad. Excellent!
The food was impeccable and the service faultless. Our wait staff were extremely accommodating and informative without being pushy or hovering. They assisted us with the menu and we were not disappointed by any of the food selections. Each dish was delicious; my favourites were the cured tuna and the prasopita (leek and fennel pie with hazelnuts). Highly recommend this restaurant!
A gem in Camberwell. OMG every dish was beautifully cooked and presented. We had the 4 course menu + extras. A fantastic night had by our group of 8 foodies.
Attentive service and delicious food. We tried a few of the Greek wines and they were lovely. A stand out in Camberwell.
Attended this restaurant for a 21st at the function room upstairs. This restaurant has such magnificent food, and each dish bought something different and unique. The waiter gave us such impeccable service, and the surroundings were lovely. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone, including those wanting to hire the function room upstairs for a special occasion.
I like the food very much. They provide share dishes, and change the plate for each course, friendly and professional!
The service is spot on, the decor modern and bright and the food is modern Greek done very well.This is a great restaurant with an interrsting wine list and of course Greek food done differently. It is a cut above anyhting else around in this part of Melbourne. Worth visit. Initial welcome was prompt but (like several restaurants) it took > 5 minutes of trying to attract staff attention to place order, even though only 5 tables of guests ! Has one hat , but don’t let service slip. Staff will explain portion sizes - listen carefully. Dessert huge.
