Four of us dined here on Saturday night we had the most amazing staff waiting on us restaurant was full food was excellent would highly recommend this restaurant to everyone the atmosphere in the restaurant tops this place off
We always love going to the Doncaster Greek Tavern! The food is fabulous (my personal favourite is the chargrilled calamari), the service is great and we enjoy the lively atmosphere. Yummy desserts too. Top it off with BYO and it's everything we enjoy.
Had my 50th Birthday here with a party of 30, Can not say enough about the exceptional food which was not only tasty but there was plenty of it no one went hungry and the service from all staff was fantastic especially Mary who made sure everything ran smoothly, Gloria and Stefan could not do enough to help before during and even after my event.
Best food !!!

Best greek food in melbourne hands down..�
Amazing food and staff. Great experience, thanks Gloria!
Had a great time here for my friends birthday. Food is amazing and staff are friendly.
This is a fabulous restaurant. Food is exceptional and the service is wonderful. Staff make you feel at home.
Had dinner there recently, was really happy with the quality of the food and the very friendly service. Will be going back and will be recommending!
Visit this small corner Greek Tavern and you'll definitely feel at home. Serving authentic Greek food, the family behind the business is very friendly and will serve your table swiftly.
All dishes on the menu are top notch both in quality and flavour, you want it heavy or light they have it for you.
If you choose to visit, I really recommend their grilled octopus and tzatziki for the appetisers and the red snapper for the main as it's truly fresh from the sea. You won't be disappointed!
Thank you so much for the evening and hoping to visit you again soon in the future!
The staff were very friendly and service was great. We ordered banquet 1. There was definitely enough food for all of us and enough for us to take some home too! Saganaki was delicious!!!

Heard from friends that the Doncaster Greek Tavern serve awesome food. My partner and I decided to try it. Walking into the restaurant we were immediately greeted and taken to our table. Everything in the menu sounds yummy so we decided to do the banquet for 2 people.
For entrée we had some warm bread with dips. The bread was homemade and the dips were tasty. The next course was the grilled marinated octopus. That was my favourite. The octopus was soft and not chewy, it was cooked to perfection. The last entrée was the saganaki. After all the entrées were served, there was a break which was really good.
Then, the seafood platter was served. There were fish, chargrilled prawns, calamari and white bait. Got to be careful with the fish though, we picked out a few bones but it didn't bother us but if you are with kids, please be careful. After we finished the seafood platter I was already quite full. There was another break before the meat platter and Greek salad came. In the meat platter there was gyros, chargrilled rissoles and lamb cutlets. The food was simply delish. I had doubts if I could fit in desserts but when desserts were served, I just made room for it! 😂 tea/coffee was served as well. for desserts there was Turkish delight, baklava and galaktobouriko. My favourite is the galaktobouriko.
If you are ordering the banquet, just be prepared to eat a lot of food. And if you can't finish, you could always take home the leftovers. One suggestion I could give is to serve the Greek salad when the seafood platter is serve. As it was served with the meat platter, by then we were ready almost full and couldn't really fit the salad in. 😂
Overall, the service was great, staff were all very friendly and most importantly the food was awesome! We will definitely be back.
Lovely little Greek restaurant with excellent friendly service from the staff who were like a little family. They are very accommodating and the food was very delicious and in generous portions. We came in a large group so we ordered had mixed dips that came with bread, marida, saganaki, Greek salads, and the seafood platter and the meat platter, all of which tasted like authentic Greek food. Lovely experience and would love to return sometime.
Great service, great food. We had the meat platter and the grilled octopus. Awesome taste, we didn't have to wait long for the food and we really felt the great Greek hospitality. Will definitely come again for the Greek food.
Thank you, for well-cooked Greek style food with great flavour, super fresh salad and the best Greek Ekmek Kataifi in Australia as voted by me!
Other dishes that my friends had, also looked well-presented , gyros, calamari , mixed grill for two, real souvlakia skewers, and they seemed happy this was the general feeling by most of our table.
I have been to the disappointing Master Chef Greek restaurants in Melbourne that serve chicken salt, siracia chilli sauce, as a condiments to Greek style food? And have gone home hungry!
Not so in this restaurant.
This is my first visit to this restaurant, but not my last.
Thank you for a great night out.
Beware of the changed parking times and signs outside though.
I’ve always loved this place! I’m Greek and my yiayia makes the best greek food in the world but this place isn’t far behind!!! I recommend the banquet, it’s very filling but who cares it’s absolutely amazing! Great Geek vibes and excellent service! Food and deserts superb!!!
Pretty good. We chose the banquet and it did not dissapoint.
There was so much food we couldn’t finish it.
The atmosphere was great. The waiters were very talkative and made your experience enjoyable.
The food overall was delicious, both platters of seafood and meat were full of goodies cooked to perfection.
It was a lovely night.
Have to say one of the best Greek restaurants around melbourne . There’s a authentic Greek vibe to the place that you see in Greece and the food is traditional classic Greek food
. Classic and delicious ..
Popped into here on a Saturday night with no booking & managed to score a table in the back area of this busy restaurant. ToFeedTwo became ToFeedSix and we were rather peckish.
We ordered the Moussaka, Greek Salad, Grilled Calamari, Gyros & Saganaki. We have all been fortunate enough to have visited Greece & the vibe in this restaurant felt like we were back there. As for the food, it was very tasty & bursting with flavour - safe to say there wasn’t a scrap left over!
Great greek restaurant had a great time last night. The food and service was amazing. It felt like i was eating in a taverna Greece. Will definately be back and a big thank you to Gloria for her hospitality :)

Finally had a day off from work and decided to try Doncaster Greek tavern.
From the moment we walked in we were made to feel part of the family. Food plentiful with beautiful
flavour.Standout dish was the meat platter .
Great night out.
Did a takeout here and the friendly gentleman greeted me to help me take my order.
🌟🌟🌟🌟Lamb Souvlaki
🌟🌟🌟✨Blue Eye Fillet
🌟🌟🌟🌟Greek Salad
🌟🌟🌟🌟2 free Baguettes
Well packed and presented, had a tasty wholesome meal at home and didn't break the bank.
The restaurant itself was traditional, spacious, neat and clean and will hope to return for dine in next time.
Second time here and again one of the best Greek food around ..
Husband and wife team, he cooks and she looks after the diners .
Dips great , pity about no pita bread thou they have a home made bread but not the same without pits bread ..
Grilled octopus amazing .
Followed by a meat platter , one of the best around .
Few pics this time round but was to busy eating rather than taking pics ..
Do yourself a favour , eat here !!!
I had the Moussaka accompanied by a small Horiatiki salad - in a word DELICIOUS - would rank amongst the best I had over many years of "Eating Greek", only wish I'd discovered this place years ago. Will definitely be back.
The best Greek #moussaka I've ever tried at @ the Greek tavern Doncaster east. It's off their menu but you know what to order when you are in the Greek restaurant. It is a family owned restaurant and also a B.Y.O. place. The services are beyond excellence. I would love to go back again
Excellent service and friendly welcoming staff accompanied by delicious food!
We were a large group and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals. Generous serving sizes.
One of the better Greek joints I've been for a while. Chargrilled octopus was darn good. We ordered the banquet for 2. By the time the meat platter came we were stuffed!! Literally! have to say though that post Hellenic Bite... lamb is never as gd!! WIR? Yeah definitely to try other dishes. Next time I'll b more selective, I ate so much that I wobbled out!! :)
OMG! The food is so fabulous! What a find. Service very friendly and accommodating, but a bit slow - understandable as we had a party of 30 people, so it gave us lots of time to digest our meals. Will definitely return. So highly recommended!
Came in with friend and had the banquet which was more than enough food for us. Everything was tasty, favourite was the warm cheese in the foil with red capsicum and saganaki. The lamb had good flavour and not too salty, the seafood also tasted fresh which was great. The place is on theme with greek ambience and the staff are helpful. Obviously during peak times it can get loud but the food kept coming out. Really liked the dips, they tasted home made rather than bulk purchased. Nice place to come as a couple and with family. Recommended.
Couldn't find anywhere open/still serving food on NYE came across this place & it was packed, didn't think we had a chance of getting a table but they squeezed us in no problem! Service was fast & efficient & food was hard to fault! Nice little find. Good Greek food :)

Generous portions of generally decent and at times outstanding food. With a large group, the banquet portion was called for so that we could try a bit of everything. The variety we were given for the entree augured well, and the marida (whitebait) and grilled octopus were standouts. It was a shame that the bread, while serviceable and generously served, was a little bit too dry. The seafood course that followed was even better and was clearly the highlight, the fish fillets soft yet firm in texture and subtly flavoured, the prawns marinated just right. At that point, we had very high expectations for the meat course, which was nearly as good, especially the lamb cutlets and the gyros. The chicken souvlaki on skewers, while also of good flavour, was a little overcooked, but we were happy with it anyway. And finally, the range of sweets offered was great and they were all definitely worth trying. Service was warm and friendly. It's no highbrow Greek celebrity establishment, but the Tavern is a great place to go for a traditional Greek fix.
Generous and delicious food. The real stand out is the wonderful and warm service. Family friendly is always a plus in the area. Will definitely be back
OTT service! As soon as you walk in the door it is like you have married into a Greek family. The staff here treat you like their honoured guest. We stayed well past closing time - staff were sweeping and packing down tables - but were encouraged to relax, linger and talk so much so that we were almost expecting them to pull out the spare bed! The food was standard Greek style fare, fresh and well cooked, but it's the service that is the specialty here.
excellent service and the food was ridiculously good, don't often get online to write a review but this place definitely deserves a mention considering some of the other places around aren't that good :(
The food here is always delicious and tasty (especially the fish and meat) and the staff are genuine and welcoming!
Best Greek food around, easy to see why so busy, the food was plentiful and excellent quality. The smiling friendly service made us all very comfortable and the hosts steve and Gloria were very Welcoming. An absolute treasure of a restaurant already got our next meal there in mind. Very reasonable costs and loved the rose wine too. We had mixed dips, whole snapper, whiting, meat platter. Saganaki, seafood mixed platter and halva for dessert. Eight very hard to please diners went home very happy and cant wait to dine in again. It was a Fri night cold winters night but warm inside. Well worth the trip out in the cold.
Every time we have been have always had a great time. Food is delicious. Pricing is reasonable. Staff are friendly and management are hands on. Can highly recommend this tavern for birthdays, christenings or any excuse for a party. It's covered courtyard is perfect summer or winter. It is great for dinner for two but as it is always busy intimate conversations are difficult. This is my favourite
greek tavern.
Lovely owners and staff. Very popular - generally a good sign. Price OK, food pretty good, but standard Greek menu. 3.5 out of 5 not bad (shrugs shoulders in style of elderly Greek man). Not bad.
Used to come here a lot. Unfortunately we moved away. They make lovely gyros. The grilled writing was the best, nicely seasoned and tasted delicious.
We really enjoyed our dinner here on a Saturday night.
Delicious meats, salads, grilled octopus, saganaki and Greek deserts.
We'll definitely be back
Another great meal at DGT. .... Another great meal at DGT.
Food is fresh and cooked well.
Reasonably priced and pleasant atmosphere.
Great Night!. Had dinner here last night. We ordered a banquet for the 10 of us. The food was delicious, fresh and in abundance. The service was great too. Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic Fantastic FANTASTIC!. We were here last night for my birthday dinner and i have to say it was beyond my expectations. it was a last minute decision to book as my first choice was shut, and i have to say that it could not have turned out any better. We were a party of 15 and the young waiters that served us were polite, attentive and ensured that we had what we needed all night. The food was amazing and plentiful, and although i was embarrassed, appreciated the singing at the end. The menu is diverse and not at all overpriced. We will be back. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
Love this place - welcoming, generous and delicious. We have been here four times and had a great experience each time. Service is warm and friendly. The food is delicious, particularly love the dips, warm crusty bread, saganaki and the amazing meat platter. Lamb chops and chicken skewers were amazing tonight. It is very noisy and a bit chaotic, so choose somewhere else if you want to have quiet meal. We have never made it to dessert or coffee because we are always too full.so can't comment about them. It is not cheap but very good value for the quality and quantity of food.
Excellent!. Almost everything is tops. Good menu, great food, reasonable prices. The proprietors/managers are fabulously friendly and oversee the place. Consistently good experience over many visits.
DGT is usually very busy and thus noisy. If you are after a quiet romantic place or serious conversation over dinner, somewhere quieter might suit better. If you are after a really good meal and feeling like a valued customer, you would struggle to do better than DGT. One of our favourites.
A real treat! :D. Went here tonight with my partner, and the food was amazing! The meat platter was plentiful for two people, and had an amazing charcoal grilled taste to it. The grilled scallops and octopus were also delicious. Then to top off with the dessert and the lovely turkish delight - a wonderful end to the night. Genuine and great customer service on top of that as well!
Highly recommended and thank you! :)
Atmosphere is fantastic and the good is even better! Customer service is phenomenal, 5 stars!
Such friendly service. From the moment I rang to say I would be late till we waved goodbye our hosts were friendly and welcoming.
food lovely as well - good value on the banquet I thought.
definitely hope to have the chance to go again soon
AMAZING GREEK CUISINE. We dined for a party 12 on a tuesday night and it was PACKED! So that was a good sign! We had gotten the 43$ banquet for the 12 of us and it was as if we were feeding a party for 20! The food was amazing traditional greek food! The meats the seafood the dips! Compliments to the female waitress gloria whom had noticed we were here for my partners birthday,where we treated with a lovely birthday song for the whole restaurant to join in! Definately will be back!
Delicious food, friendly staff, we waited for quite a while though and had to get the rest of our food take away after 2.5 hours. Will definitely return but not on a sat night.
Awesome food in the suburbs! Chef Peter is amazing, the food is just like your in Greece. Great place, great people, no wonder we come here every week!
Yummo. Good food , friendly staff, will not hesitate to return again
LOVE LOVE LOVE. I grew up eating Greek food and this was amazing - the only other Greek I can say is as good is in Oakleigh .. You have to try the Lima beans, the whitebait and pretty much every entree to get an idea of how authentic this food is ...
Will be back for sure ..
Oh and the staff were all so friendly and even a bit cute when there was some pressure in the kitchen - the place was packed out !!
Review. Most tender fresh seafood I've ever tasted...amazing! We got a banquet and were too full to eat any more by the time the meat platter came! Highly recommended Greek restaurant from a very fussy Greek!!!
Came here for the first time tonight & we will definitely be going back! The meat platter for 2 was delicious & very filling.
Went there on the weekend with some friends. Got the banquet for 8 people, which was great value. Some very tasty dishes, and the seafood was amazing. Only complaint is that there was too much food :)
-----01 Oct, 2013-----
Best Greek food I've had. The chefs seafood is flawless, amazing dishes with accompanied by amazing tastes. Definately a must
Ate here last night with my partner for the first time and it certainty won't be the last! We shared the banquet for 2 people and it was absolutely delicious. Flavoursome dishes and extremely generous portions for the price! The octopus and calamari were a stand out. The dips were beautifully authentic. The meat was tender and cooked to perfection. And our waitress was absolutely perfect, and when she saw we were full even offered to let us takeaway our dessert! Definitely a great place for a date or casual dinner. Affordable, delicious and great service! Can't wait to go back and try more dishes!
Christening Function. We held our baby's christening here on a Saturday Night & it was a great night. Everybody loved all the food! There were plenty of compliments to the Chef and there was plenty of food. The calamari just melted in your mouth and the meat was perfect - very nice quality too compared to many of the other Greek Restaurants in the area. Would definately reccommend for a function, it is a cosy & intimate atmosphere and great for family dinner. The service was great even though it was very busy. Love the Ekmek! Definately worth visiting!!! Thanks for everything.
The meat is perfect! Can't wait for more. Highly recommended.
Fantastic food, great service, wonderful atmosphere. Highly recommended.
Great in Eastern suburb !!. Great food and good environment !! made you fell like a home
Excellent!. Great Food, Great service, Great prices and Great atmosphere. Thought we'd give it a go and so glad we did.
Good Greek Food. New ownership (since 2012) has brought with it great food. The food is great. The char grilled octopus & beautifully seasoned gyros are simply sensational. Home made bread is a nice touch also. Best Greek food in the area.
A great meal!. Had a great lunch here to celebrate a family christening. Food was great and serviced matched! Stefano and Gloria were wonderful hosts! We'll definitely return for a wonderful Greek experience!
Highly recommend the dips and bread, meat platter and calamari. First time dining there was a very enjoyable experience, and exceptionally warm service.
We had the red caviar dip (bread was complimentary), scallops and seafood platter (comes with salad, whitebait, calamari, prawns, fish fillets and scallops). Everything tasted fresh and nicely cooked
Food was spot on, quick service, especially busy and under the pump. Chefs are very passionate about their food and cater to their customers. Bravo!
It was our(me and my husband)first experience with a Greek restaurant about a month ago and we absolutely loved it there. It is a pretty small family running which we used to pass by all the time and one cold night we decided to give it try as we had always seen it busy and full of customers. It was a bit pricy but I think was worth it. Adding to the quality of the food which we chose by the recommendation of people who worked there, the atmosphere was great and staff were absolutely kind, friendly and helpful. We will definitely go back and recommend it to others.
The food was delicious! An overall great experience
Got the banquet
Saganaki cheese 🧀
Grilled octopus 🐙
Dips 🥕
Seafood patter 🐟🦑🦐
And meats platter 🥩🍖🥔
So much food!
Consistently great food, we have been here a few times and every time the food is excellent. I think the servings are quite big. Especially their banquet for 2 or more. Tonight they were clearly understaffed as most places are (due to COVID and the flu). But they still provided fantastic, efficient and friendly service. Will definitely return again for a full flavored Greek food fix.
Great traditional Greek restaurant!! If you enjoy your Greek food I highly recommend you give this place a try. Everything cooked fresh and on the charcoal for that amazing taste that will leave you drooling over everything here.. from the meats to the seafood OMG that's all I'm gonna say..
Enjoy
