Celebrated a night of Birthdays, Christmas and a quick homecoming for some family here on 23rd December. A fantastic night had by all. The food was the best, the waitress was awesome. By the end of the night we were the only people in the restaurant and they turned up the music and we were all dancing The Zorba with the staff. Would come back here in a heartbeat for a great evening.
We had a wonderful night, such beautiful food, all cooked to perfection!! By far, the best Greek food I've had in Melbourne. Our waitress was just lovely and very attentive.. we would definitely come back here!! �
First time back to Pelagos since the new owners took over - really good service from our waitress Yasmin. The food was up to standard. Plenty of food with the banquet as usual. Our family will definitely be back again, great Mother's Day dinner
Super friendly host & service, generous servings, tasty food - great for families young and old
Had our daughters baptism there last night and it was fantastic! The night went so well and the food and staff was fantastic! Thank you so much to Jenny & Arthur for your delicious food and wonderful service. We will be back again for sure �
Had a lovely meal here. Ladies serving were lovely and food was delicious & fresh. A bit pricey but as with most greek and was worth it for nice night
Great food and good service. New to the area and love Greek food so thought we would check this out. We had the banquet which was great and the owners daughter was our waitress and extremely good. Can’t fault the food, atmosphere or location. We will be back!
Great service, the dips were beautiful, could tell they were home made. Had the mix grill for 2 people, plenty of food i think it was enough for 3! The baklava was my favourite and my kids enjoyed the semolina desert. definitely will be back
We had a great meal here, their online booking system was well polished, service was friendly, and food was delicious. The only thing which bothered me was the chairs weren't very comfortable and they kept clearing our plates before we were done. We did a banquet which was well priced
I liked this place. The decor is simple but the wait staff were very friendly. Had the lamb off the spit, it was to die for, had a brilliant smoky flavour. Delicious bread, great dips. I would definitely recommend.
Just ate the slow cooked lamb shoulder and it was delicious as always! I highly recommend this dish to anyone who dines here. Also the homemade tzatiki is amazing!!! Great, friendly service as usual!
We had such a great meal with excellent service. We had the banquet for 2 and it was a ton of food, all tasting amazing!
What a hidden gem!
I love my Greek food and have tried many places out.
Prior to eating at Pelagos i looked at some reviews regarding price etc.
For a business located in the heart of Hampton prices are fine in my eyes, unless you would like to go to Hellenic Republic ( George Calombaris's shop) and pay $5 for a pita and $10 for a dip.
Wake up people support your small local business which will do whatever it can to please you.
Will definitely be returning for that muscle saganaki!
First time dinning at Pelagos and what a dinner it was!
Truly a Greek experience, the food is just like eating in Greece if not better.
love the fact that it is a family run restaurant and can see how much effort they put into everything.
We have also been here lots of times and I don't get the negative reviews at all.
Mixed dips are fresh and come with great home made fluffy yeasty bread. Whitebait was crisp and tasty as was the calamari. Baked feta was surprisingly creamy and moorish - glad we tried this dish. For mains we had both the seafood and meat platters for 3 and they easily fed 10 of us including one other dish + salad and chips. I found everything both generous and tasty. Big bowls of greek salad and we tried the special - slow cooked lamb shoulder that came with pita and a salad with pomegranates. Really nice and different.
Service was great even though it was a busy Saturday and there was 10 of us. The waitress was really friendly and efficient and remembered all our names. Water was always refilled and drinks arrived promptly.
Highly recommended and we will be back for sure.
We eat here often and the food is always delicious.
We also love that you can BYO your own wine with only a small corkage fee. Great local restaurant!

After trying many different Greek restaurants and being a local to the Hampton area, pelagos tavern is by far the best Greek we have had! The food is consistent every time we visit, the Vergina beer and Kapuka wine is our favourite. And their amazing taztiki served with their dips is the best ive tasted! I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves Greek food!
Best Greek In Town!. We dined in on a Sunday evening and very much enjoyed the night! Had the Banquet Number One which was the perfect choice. Plenty of food and even the little ones enjoyed it all. Catered for gluten free too. Standouts were the Shoulder of Lamb and Char Grilled Calamari, best I've had in years of both, yet all the food we had was delicious. The only bad thing is that I'm still thinking about it a week later, it was that good! We aren't locals so it's not an easy trip made but defiantly worth it, we will be back there soon! Staff were very friendly also. Big thumbs up!
Love love love that we have found a delicious Greek place to eat :))
Some newcomers joined us and impressed. 4 of us had the dips, saganaki and a meat platter, can only say it was the most joyous meal we have had for a while friendly staff it will be a regular for our group, Oakleigh does not have the monopoly of good Greek food, wish this restaurant was in Bentleigh. We have eaten Greek around Melbourne and this is running in first place.
Delicious greek food. A friend suggested we try this greek restaurant and I'm glad we did. The food was amazing, I had the seafood platter to share and my friends the meat platter, a salad to share and baclava. It was all delicious. I got to meet the owner she is super friendly and accommodating. Would definitely go back, highly recommend for good quality greek food.
Easily one of the best Greek taverns in Melbourne, the shop is clean, the staff is friendly food is some of the best I've ever eaten (including Greece) would recommend everything on the menu although when you order the gyro that's just come off the spit, sprinkle some salt on it, and I promise you, you will definitely notice how much better it is. 10/10!!
Best greek restaurant. Amazing service and beautiful fresh food. Have been there years ago and the food has always stayed consistently fantastic. My favourite greek restaurant by far!
Fantastic Greek basics. Serious chargrilled meat, fresh seafood lightly cooked, and a comfortable, welcoming atmosphere make this place a great choice for a casual dinner.
The calamari - lightly fried in flour, were perfectly tender, served with a sweet dill flavoured tartare. The lamb gyros was smoky and salty with some tender, rarer morsels. The wine list has some pretty good value on it. This is a big, hearty winner.
Work Lunch. A group of 24 of us went to Pelagos on Tuesday for a work lunch. We chose the banquet as this was what we had been advised to do! So much delicious food! Not one complaint! We all left with full bellies and had a great afternoon. Jenny and the Pelagos staff really looked after us, catering for all different dietary requirements. Thanks again, we'll definitely be organising future events here :)
Sometimes yes sometimes no. Yes the inside is a bit dated in here but otherwise it's a warm environment with friendly staff and great Greek food. It really depends on what you order because it can be a bit hit and miss. I've had many things from the menu and some a few times and it can be a bit inconsistent to be honest. But overall it's a nice place when you're in the mood for Greek. If you order a few dishes you're bound to get something good in there!
Always good food, plenty of it and friendly service ;)
With my Greek heritage dining at Pelagos was the most authentic Greek dining experience I have had in Australia .We requested some changes to the menu and they were more than happy to accommodate.We definitely going back.
The gyros was delish and the serving size was huge. We could have shared that meal between the two of us. The service was great as well. Will definately return!
Delicious. Loved pelagos. Went with a group of four of us on a Thursday night. Had the saganaki, olives and calamari to start. Was all very delicious. Then we got the mixed grill for two. There was so much food. The most delicious shaved meat, cutlets, kebab and sausages. Ordered a side greek salad and tzaziki. Left feeling very full and was only $40 each. Would def recommend and will be back!!
Fantastic food, calamari was melt in your mouth tender and the gyros was sensational. Decor feels like yaya's house. Very family friendly and well priced
Went on a date for the end of another long week, excellent atmosphere, service, food and drink. Recommend the banquets. Particularly good Saganaki, calamari, lamb and dolmades. Will definitely go back!
I have dreams about this place!!!! Succch yummy food mmmmm :)
You can't go wrong here. We love this place and go regularly - the seafood platter is a highlight and the lamb is amazing but the Pièce de résistance is the homemade bread with the dips - something as simple as the lamb gyros or chicken kebab with a greek salad will delight any fussy diner - it isn't cheap but quality isn't cheap. If you want cheap go to a fish & chip shop.
Give it a go!. Noticed a few haters with the reviews, been a few times and found the food to be excellent. Large portion sizes with the mains and the meals are served quickly. I found another Greek restaurant near Sandringham station that pips Pelagos for menu variety, but would recommend it to anyone.
Honest food - honest prices. I have benn here a number of times. Great food, and well priced. All fresh and byo. The staff are cheerful and happy to assist.
Great quality and value. Very fresh seafood.
Best Greek Food. Everything is fresh and tasty. The serves are huge and the staff are nice. They treated our children as humans which is so nice after some of the other places we've been to. It's a busy, relaxed atmosphere which is great because we hate the hovering waiters at other places that make you feel awkward. fantastic value for money and added bonus our kids love the food. We are so sick of pizza and pasta it's great to have another place to go.
Excellent food sometimes it was a little hard to get a waiters attention but other then that the waiters were really friendly and food was tasty!
Beautiful food and friendly staff. Very noisy though.
Fantastic meal. We enjoyed a fantastic meal at Pelagos Greek Tavern, we had the mixed grill platter for two, among other dishes. The meat was cooked to perfection and was a large serving. Overall we had a great evening the saganaki was also fantastic and I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone.
Went with my Partners family and I was pleasantly surprised, we had the banquet, great dips and LOTS of bread.. And they kept offering more bread which is always welcome am I right?! Dolmades, saganaki, octopus salad, all tasty and plentiful. The lamb cutlets and skewered meats were all juicy and tender. The lamb was a little fatty but that's how I like it anyway (shhhh!) dessert was okay, baklava always lovely but halva is some of the nastiest stuff I've eaten in a while... It's like sesame seed flavored sand, is it meant to be like that?
Really fresh and tasty meal. We had the seafood platter for two. Enough food and good value. The service is friendly and fast. To top it off, they are kid friendly. We'll be back!
