Attentive waiters and busy lively vibe. The dishes are fantastic and different but the entree was (too) so quick out and then it was ages before the main
Flavours were great. The calamari and zucchini fritters were super oily and the texture of the chips weren't great but everything else was delicious. The grilled chicken was really tender and full of flavour. The dips were a highlight too, my favourite was the eggplant 👌🏼
Fantastic service!
We were given a voucher by friends as a gift knowing this is one of our preferred dining destinations and visited for lunch for the first time. Same menu and still pretty busy but there was still something new to discover, the house made sodas. I believe the flavours tend to change but if kiwi fruit and rosemary is available jump alll over it. You can spike them with vodka too if you so desire. Another delicious meal

Hubs and I attempted an impromptu dinner at Chin Chin (seriously what were we thinking) and while the wait there was something like two hours we managed to secure some seats at the bar at Gazi, eat, arrive home and then be texted by Chin Chin to say our table was ready!
We’ve been eating our fair share of Greek food lately but we’ve never been disappointed here, the service is always attentive and there’s a pleasant ambiance to boot. The meat is exceptionally flavoursome but if I learned one thing this time it was you simply must have the chips topped with crumbly feta and you have to finish with the honey Nutella doughnuts or loukoumades in Greek. So yummy!
Update
We had some international visitors and thought Gazi would be a good dinner option because the food has never failed to impress me. We started with the three dip and pita (it makes financial sense to get three!) eggplant, carrot and tzatziki cannot go wrong with those classics.
I realllllly wanted to get the bombe dessert which serves 3 but everyone was really full from all the bread as we all had souvas- the nine of us were the very definition of carb coma post those. Ultimately this is delicious street food in a fun contemporary environment. Love the terracotta roof too.
Original review
Gazi to me personifies the lyrics of the Maroon 5 song She will be Loved, 'I've had you so many times but somehow I want more'. One of my favourite restaurants in Melbourne, definitely my favourite restaurant of George's and undoubtedly my favourite ever Greek restaurant; it's consistently delicious.
Bread and dips are a must the dough is just soo super soft. It's the same on the small souva (the chicken is delicious) and you can't go past the lamb shoulder. Ensure you book in advance otherwise you will find yourself seated at the bar at best. If worse comes to worse they also offer takeaway. Definitely take up this option if you are too full to eat the doughnuts so you don't miss out
