Yum food. Well priced. Great atmosphere. Would love to try more stuff in the future. Chips were poor.
Home style atmosphere with home style cooking. Compared to Oakleigh, you’ll see a lot more on the menu than souvlaki and deserts. Actually, truth be told you probably won’t see a menu because the friendly exceptional marketing team (aka your waiter) will choose your meal for you and throw in every side that might tempt you. Really a fun and fantastic food stop in Suburban Melbourne! Just watch out for the bill.
Beautiful owners, beautiful food. After struggling to find a Greek tavern that is open for lunch on Sundays I got in contact with the lovely owners of White Village and they were beyond accommodating. Not only were they more than happy to open for our extended family group, but they were flexible with the menu and so helpful.The food was plentiful and packed full of flavour and I cannot recommend the restaurant more highly. Thank you again to White Tavern - our family, including the 60th birthday boy, were very impressed.
Very friendly staff, good food, generous portions. It appeared to be a place where a lot of locals frequent, as the staff were chatting to many of the diners which is always a good sign. Most of the menu can be made gluten free. Would eat here again.
Lovely authentic Greek restaurant, traditional atmosphere, delicious fresh food, generous serves and very good value for money. The banquet is a must!
My friend and I had a lovely evening. I'll definitely visit agsin.
The staff were very welcoming and accommodating. Food was delicious and came out quickly.
Delicious Greek food at this traditional Greek restaurant. Great quality food and you never leave hungry. Classic good old fashion Greek food as its best! Family restaurant very friendly staff.
Visited White Village the other night. I thought I was back in a Greek Town. The atmosphere was electric. When my food arrived at the table I was surprised to see a great variety of dishes. As I took my first taste of the slow cooked lamb, was taken back to Greece. It was flavorsome and very juicy. The service and appreciation from the staff was excellent . I will be back again for sure. Great food service and price.
Great food!! Pickled octopus is a personal favorite. Will definitely be returning. I think some people should consider a night out without getting a cheap scoopon voucher!
Came here on a Groupon voucher for 8 courses with Greek coffee. All the food we got as part of the deal was really tasty and served quickly (not rushed). Food Included dips with warm bread, saganaki, dolmades, Greek salad, fried calamari, mixed grill, mixed dessert with halva, baclava, Turkish delight and a Greek coffee. The meat on the mixed grill was a stand out, really well cooked, juicy and nicely seasoned with Greek spices.
Friendly service and classic Greek fitout. Will come back to try their specials which all look and smell great.@
Had many a wonderful evening here, food is fabulous, the lamb is mouthwatering, lets not forget the calamari that's way up
There too. Costa's friendly welcoming touch makes it into my top 10.
Wonderful welcoming homely atmosphere, we felt as though we were in someone's living room. The same goes for the food, very authentic home cooked style. We loved it and will be back!!

I arrived here last night with my friend and straight off the bat the place was so full of life and atmosphere that it already had me excited on tasting the 8 course menu that we were about to order. The chef greeted us with a big smile and sat us close to the chef station, so it was a little bit quieter so my friend Neil and I could have a conversation and just soak everything in before the food arrived. Once we places our order and drink order a short time later our platter of dips and bread arrived along with the dolmades which were a lovely treat to start the begging of the meal that was still install for us on the night.The pan fried saganaki arrived which was cooked to perfection. A short time later the crispy real calamari arrived which is always a favourite of mine to come with the Greek salad. Next were the platter of meats which consisted of the meatballs, lamb and chicken which to be honest I was in heaven as I love this sort of food and when it is cooked in such a way like it should be cooked it's compliments to the chef and his staff for working together as a team in such a busy environment and still being able to get the job done. The deserts and traditional Greek coffee were the perfect compliment to finish up on such a wonderful night. A big shout out to the sweet waitress the serves us and the chef/host which kept us entertained with his wonderful sense of humour, dancing, wonderful cooking and taking the time to spend ten minutes chatting with us after we had finished our meals. Congratulations on such a wonderful establishment you's have truly put you heart,souls and traditional values into. Kind regards.
Been here a few times.
The service is always friendly and heartfelt.
However the food platters are always the same. While they are tasty, the meat can be a bit burned and dry (not always) and the seafood is not a lot of variety.
The dips and other entrees are authentic greek food and just lovely.
BEST GREEK RESTAURANT IN MELBOURNE! I have loved every single visit to the Greek Tavern. The owner knows me by name. The food is always exceptional and plentiful. I am always always full. Couldn't recommend the banquet more. Tamara dip.... With the bread. My absolute favourite. Feels like I've entered a restaurant on a small island in Greece. If you like Greek food you are crazy not to go see Costa!
The typical Greek offering consisted of several tasty dishes. Disappointing was the gum chewing waitress who seemed determined not to engage with the diners. Overall though, we enjoyed the food and the evening.
Liked it. This was our second visit, again using a voucher for a banquet meal. A venue with the sounds of happy patrons, and smiling efficient, friendly staff. The food was tasty and delicious. Thank you.
Lovely fresh Greek food. We came here for dinner on a Friday night and had a banquet menu. Started with the dips which were great and lovely warm fresh bread. We had dolmades, Greek salad, calamari and a platter of meat - all very well seasoned and full of flavour. Finished with some very nice Greek desserts. Overall it was a very good night, great service and tasty fresh food!
Great food, cute spot. Went there with a Scoopon offer. Great food, nice variety in the 8 course special. Service is friendly and personable. Nice quantities of food too. Bottles of wine just under $20, so dirt cheap. Second time we'd eaten there, will definitely return again.
A really nice dining experience. A really quaint little rustic Greek place that makes you feel like you're sitting in a restaurant in Santorini.
Set menu is unbelievable value and the food is amazing. The staff are really pleasant and I just cant say a bad word about this place. Heaps better than some of its more famous counterparts. The perfect place for a dinner for two or a big group. BYO too!!!
You can't loose just get down here top service and food at great prices what more do you want
Consistently Great Food and Lots of Fun!. My family and I have dined at this place many many times and have always left feeling we have had a great meal and a fun night out.
The food is always consistent and fresh. Although we enjoy most of what this place has to offer the fish is always fantastic, especially the garfish.
The service is honest, more than friendly and always reliable. Like most places that are consistently busy, there is sometimes the odd wait or missed order but it always works out in the end and works very well.
I could not expect any more from this place and would highly recommend for a fun, relaxing night out with plenty of atmosphere.
Come hungry. We've been twice now and both times it's been so much fun. Great atmosphere, pretty reasonable food (Not the best ever, but decent) - but excellent value for the amount you get. The banquet is the way to go.
Awesome for big groups, fun environment and BYO. I've been here twice, both times with large groups for birthdays. We had so much fun here and the food was amazing. Both times we had the banquets. Absolutely love the meats and the seafood. The staff were great and even got us up doing some Greek dancing and plate throwing. It's also BYO which makes for a reasonable night. Would definitely recommend for a large group!
Busy Relaxed Friendly. First ever review. Bread and dips were and marinated octopus for starter, I'm no expert but am not sure whether the octopus is from a jar or marinated at the premise, it was quite good nonetheless. My girlfriend had meatballs while I had moussaka and a Greek salad; liked them all. Full of young groups and couples, the friendly owner/manager liked a chat.
Lovely atmosphere! There was only one waitress working but she was very warm & welcoming & did a great job of juggling all the tables. We didnt have to wait long for our food and our entree was on the house, which was a nice touch for our first visit. The food itself was pretty standard Greek cuisine, nonetheless delicious and we opted to take home the leftovers of our mixed grill to enjoy tomorrow. Overall a very pleasant, friendly place for a nice Sunday dinner.
Brilliant. Came for a quiet Sunday meal and were so pleased we're going to make it our regular haunt. The familial, warm service, moderate prices and generous quantities make this place an absolute winner.

I come from a Greek family been to all the Greek taverns around Melbourne and many in Greece. This is as Greek as its going to get. Home made warm bread and water on arrival. That's what happens in Greece BTW. Food is very delicious and waiter who also owns the restaurant is very bubbly and warm. Restaurant also has that Greek feel. Me and a friend used deals voucher and both very impressed. Even though we live 50 mins drive away we are keen to return very soon. Thur night and place was full. We met a group of Greek people on the next table who've been going there 25 years. They were celbrating their 46th anniversary. There was a nice diverse mix of diners there. Families, old, young, couples, groups and from other cultural backgrounds not only Greek people. We were so full by the time we got our main we didn't eat much of it. We asked to take it home and I think he mixed ours up with someone else's. we gave it to the dog. Maybe he should put names on the containers. Otherwise 10/10 service and food.
Tasty and great!. Just had dinner there tonight. With the voucher from deals.com. Food was fantastic! Nothing bad to comment about. Amazing how there was just one waitress and a full restaurant and no waiting between courses. Good service and excellent food. I would dine there again :)
Costas world. We have been eating here for over 12 years. The food is always good and it is one of our favourite restaurants . We love the host Costa he remembers all his regulars and looks after them. Great meat, chicken, fish and haloumi great dips. He can do no wrong in our eyes.
Great meal. We went here last night with some friends on a discount voucher for a fixed meal for the 4 of us. The menu was 4 entrees, stuffed vine leaves, mixed dips and bread, lettuce and feta salad and saganaki. All delicious. Two mains consisted of nicely cooked but a little oily calamari in fine batter and char grilled chicken and lamb. Both these dishes were plentiful and tasty. The calamari was nice and tender. The meats were a bit salty for me but tasted delicious and had lemon juice on them while cooking. A glass of either house red or while wine each was also included. Dessert was small portions each of halva,Turkish delight and rolled baklava. Small serves but delicious. Greek coffee or tea at the end rounded off a really enjoyable and filling meal. I can recommend this place and look forward to a return to try some of the other menu.
Always Nice Food .... I first went to White Village with afew vouchers from Ouffer some time ago and for what we paid for the voucher and the food we got, was great value (bottle of wine was nice!). The food was delicious and have been back there quite afew times and never disappointed. Once you become a regular Kosta remembers you and looks after you. I am surprised to see some negative reviews, must have been an 'off' night or as it is with some people in this world, not easy to please and always have something to piss & moan about. Only suggestion for White Village is to get a little bit more variety on the menu. Other than that, look forward to eating there again soon!
Best Greek Food in Melbourne. I have been going to the White Village for years. I have always had a great meal and the banquet is a treat.Costa and staff are excellent and very friendly.Highly recommended.
Pleasantly surprised. Went with a voucher (first time using one) and didn't expect a lot because when I made the reservation, the reception I got was rather dismissive when she heard I had a voucher. The restaurant has a nice typical Greek atmosphere and was vibrant when we arrived. Only one woman serving but she did an admirable job with 75% of the tables full. The food was good enough and close to authentic....we will return (which is the point of offering vouchers). The owner came out for a chat a couple times and we had a great fun evening.
Really liked it. Recently visited with a voucher and had a wondeful meal. The place was packed to the rafters but we were still served promptly and had no problems at all. Lovely staff, it appeared to me to be a family affair. Definately will be back soon.
Great find. Yum. We tried this restaurant tonight using a voucher and were really impressed. The restaurant was pretty full, one only waitress who was friendly and brought food out promptly. We really, really loved every dish they served including the Greek coffee and sweets at the end. Thank you.
Food was good and plenty of it. Service was good. Drink availability was restricted for those who didn't want alcohol.
What can I say I eat there about once a week sometimes even more, ever since i started eating there i stopped cooking at home! I'm obsessed with the feta they use in the Greek salad. Customer survive is great but they get very busy and it can get quite loud in there like most other good Greek restaurants. Food is traditional and what Greek food should taste like.
Food was okay with really nice service. Friendly and warm environment. Only negative was food was a little oily.
Great experience, will be back. Myself and my partner wen't here based on other reviews from this site, and boy I was so happy
The customer service, in particular from the manager/owner, a fellow by the name of Costa was above and beyond. The setting was nice.
We were impressed by this and decided to go all out and get a banquet. Everything was great. I usually don't like prawns but they cooked it so well I devoured it willingly.
The salads, entree's, meats, seafood were great. The desert was good but just a little too sweet for my liking, but I don't doubt for a second it was authentic.
I highly recommend this restraunt. Great prices as well. Will be back there very soon.
Great set menu and really nice service, love the dips, fried cheese and giro. It can be noisy but not squeezy and it's always busy.
Great authentic Greek. Wonderful set menu look out for the fried whitebait. Kostas a warm and genuine host. Very popular with the locals open 7 days a week
What a beautiful and cosy place. Kosta was really friendly to us and our friends for the first time. The food was amazing and kosta was helful with foord and size recommendation. Will come back again soon.
Extremely friendly real othentic Greek cuisine excellent food It's a place you go back to
Costa and his wife are lovely people and the food is fantastic I no longer have a girlfriend but get a mixed meat platter for 2 to bring home unbelievable & very reasonable prices
The food was great and Kosta has this warm character that makes the experience much better ... Will definitely go back
Amazing service and absolutely delicious home style food, and generous portions to boot. Highly recommended!!!
