Solid Greek banquet with all the usuals. Reasonable value. Great saganaki as always. The overly dry lamb and the leathery calamari detracted from the total experience however.
Our family came here for dinner on Saturday night. Busy place, full of large family groups of Greek background people having a good time. As it was a Saturday night the $50 set menu was the only choice - no issue for us. Food was good, plenty of it. Not exceptional but definitely very acceptable. Waiter tried to take drink orders at the same time he handed over the drinks menu which was a bit rushed - no chance to check prices. Noticed afterwards that it was $9 I think for a 750ml bottle of mineral water. Lucky we stuck with the tap water!
The food was fantastic, as usual. I’ve had many a family function here and the service was excellent. Mozez gave us fun and professional service throughout the evening and even sang Happy Birthday to my mum. He was friendly, generous and professional. An all around, lovely evening to celebrate my mum’s birthday. As I’ve done in the past, I will continue to bring my family and friends to Yiannis Tavern. Thank you. Triantafillou family. 🇬🇷
After reading some of the reviews I was not expecting a lot. To my surprise the service was good and I had no issues on that front at all. The food was excellent and met my expectations of a greek feast. Plenty of dips and bread followed by meats and seafood with just the right amound of salad. Ended with cakes and coffee was on offer. Only comment was that there was probably too much food. The value for the coupon we purchased was excellent. If we had paid full price I would think it was fair value. We did buy a bottle of wine and the basic list was fine and mostly in the lower price range. Overall a good feed and good ambiance. I will go back again and will keep an eye out for the coupons online.
Great food, mixed grill is a must also wine prices very good value. They were apparently down a waiter but couldn’t tell. They made it up to us with complimentary desserts which was pleasant surprise. Will be back for sure.
Great food beautiful staff excellent host
Absolutely best greek food I’ve had so far in melbourne. Was with the boys this time definitely taking the family next 👌👍
Four of us absolutely loved the 12 course set menu last night. The host on duty was attentive and happy when serving our meal ( with explanations of everything put on the table ) Loved the home made tzaziki, the cucumber pieces were crunchy and the warm roasted capsicum and feta dip was delicious. The zucchini chips were amazing and the succulent chicken skewers and fish truly scrumptious mmmmmm. Highly recommend.
We had our sons christening at Yiannis Tavern. And I can't thank the staff enough for everything. The food was amazing and PLENTY of it, the service was exceptional they made everything run so smooth and nothing was a hassle or an issue for them. I would definitely be back for any function and would not even bother seeking anywhere else. We can't recommended Yianni's Tavern enough and I feel our guests would have to agree because all I keep hearing is how the food would just melt in your mouth and flavour that explodes. A big thank you again to Yianni and Moses for making our day one to definitely remember.
Always great tasting Greek cuisine. The ambiance and decor are typically Grecian and one feels like a Greek feasting on endless plates of the best Dips, Saganaki, Calamari and Fish, , Lamb, Beef and Chicken, Baklava and Loukoumia.

I came here for a christening recently not expecting too much just a normal evening with some good friends. As a vegan, at reception centres it is often difficult to be presented with nice meals as the chefs often struggle with what to make. At Yiannis Tavern, I was extremely impressed, if anything quite overwhelmed. Each person on the table had to share small amounts of food from the middle of the table which I personally found quite disappointing but for myself, I received my own entree, main and desert with a decent amount of food for each. My entree was some crackers with a peanut sauce, tomato slices, cucumber and asparagus. For main I got one large bowl of risotto and another large bowl of salad just for myself. For dessert I got a few dates and walnuts. I was extremely impressed with the food and service I received although felt bad because I was given so much food to eat and everyone else very little. Overall it was a lovely evening with amazing staff and service and was very well catered for my diet.
Great authentic rustic style food. More than we could eat, we tried the set menu, fabulous. Great atmosphere and live band. Lovely function room upstairs. Recommended.
Wow, I'm very critical when dining out but the staff here were nothing short of exceptional. Just the right mix of professionalism, caring and entertaining. Such warm people. Mary and Moses are exceptional 😀👌
The food was great, super tasty and fresh.
And the atmosphere was really nice too. Not too loud but good atmosphere amongst the patrons.
I rarely walk away completely satisfied from restaurants but this is one of those places that makes you happy.
The food was fantastic, as usual. I’ve had many a family function here and the service was excellent. Moses gave us fun and professional service throughout the evening and even sang Happy Birthday to my mum. He was friendly, generous and professional.

Very accommodating! We celebrated my dads 80th, food was fantastic! Service was great! and they catered for my son who had food allergies, and they were so helpful!!!
Went for a friend's birthday dinner and had an AMAZING time. What a great atmosphere and delicious food. Great value for money and will definitely be back. Really enjoyed it here
First time eating at a Greek restaurant. Delicious food and wonderful hospitality. Staff made us feel welcome and comfortable. A lovely experience. Will eat there again.
Really enjoyed everything. We had the banquet and left completely stuffed. The fish and lamb were cooked to perfection. Will definitely be coming back!
