Stopped in on a Sunday afternoon with 2 friends for the bottomless brunch. The food and experience was absolutely fantastic. Friendly accomodating staff and absolutely delicious food! We were even given a complementary dessert to have while we had a few drinks after the allotted 1.5 hours.
An absolutely exceptional experience that I will be coming back for!
This restaurant needs to be rated more highly! The atmosphere and decor combined with the Greek music really makes you feel like you’re dining in Mykonos. The food is delicious - we all ordered the mixed Gyro plate and it was a generous amount of food and the lamb was delicious. So perfectly cooked, not too oily and great seasoning. The pita bread was so good, I could’ve taken a whole bag of pita bread home and eaten it alone. I wasn’t sure if the price would be justified but in the end it definitely was. My sisters and I couldn’t believe we hadn’t been here sooner. You also get a view of the Yarra River as you sit and enjoy your meal which is a plus. Only criticism I have was that it took around 20 minutes to get the food to us which was instantly excused once we tasted our food. I’m definitely coming back!
Nice food, friendly staff, good service, good value for money.
Great service. Waiter worked hard to accommodate all our food intolerances and adapt for us. Enjoyed the gf pita too. Delicious and fresh food.
This place is well priced, great service and great for children - they were provided pencils and allowed to draw all over the tablecloth.
And the food was so so yum. The gyros platters are super generous, I could hardly get through mine.
Will definitely be back!
Delicious food with a great view over the Yarra. VERY generous sized dishes (I couldn’t finish mine)! I got the mixed Gyros and the meat was tender and delicious. Only rating a 4 as I felt the service could have been a bit more attentive.

Why ENA?
We had a pre-theater dinner at ENA last night, choosing the restaurant off the list of nearby Zomato Gold restaurants.
Table and service
We were seated on the balcony (covered and heated in winter) with views looking out over the river and the city - very pretty with the lights.The waitstaff were incredibly attentive.
Menu, food, and drinks
The menu was extensive and priced comparably with other Southgate restaurants, but using Zomato Gold made it very good value. We took advantage of the happy hour ($10 cocktails!) For mains, we shared the Moussaka and a Lamb Gyros plate, both portions were huge and tasted pretty good. We liked that the meals came with chips and salad already, no need to order extra sides (though you could if you wanted to).
One more thing...
One thing to watch out for - we booked through Zomato and received two confirmations, but there was no record of our booking in Ena's system. This wasn't a problem as there were spare tables when we arrived, but it would have been disappointing if there was no space. If you book online, call the restaurant to be safe.
We came using Zomato Gold today. Staff were super friendly and attentive. We ordered Souvlaki and seafood risotto , lokoumades and Greek coffee . Everything was perfect from live music to food taste and quality. Price was high but reasonable when you justify it with Zomato gold. Seafood orzo lacked taste but souvlaki , dessert and coffee were perfect . They deserve 4.5 but I can’t give that on Zomato so I settle for 4.
Main meals 4/5
Staff 5/5
Value for money 3/5
Atmosphere 5/5
Overall 4.5/5.
We had lunch at ENA today with friends... we were greeted with a friendly smile. The service was great. The food was awesome with great flavour. We would visit again...
AMAZING!! Got the first entre platter and the chefs selection desserts. High quality, good food. Amazing view and ambiance. Staff were incredibly friendly.
If your looking for a great place to share some
Amazing dishes family style then Ena is the place for you. We had the banquet for 4 people and everyone left as full as you could be and content. There was plenty to try and everything was cooked to perfection. Food paired with a great view over the Yarra and extremely polite wait staff will guarantee a good night out.
Came here for a work lunch. It always seems busy so we thought we give it a try. You can smell the meat roasting on charcoal as you walk in, so if you’re not hungry you would be.
I had the grilled calamari entree. It was sooo tender and delicious. I should probably ordered a side of salad or chips as it’s not enough. Theo there’s we’re commenting that their mixed meat gyros were also delicious. Will come back and try the gyros next time.

Ena is located along the yarra river with really nice view. There are a fair bit of tables outdoor where we decided to sit really enjoy our lunch. We went for the banquet for 2 option. There was heaps of food. The meal started off with pita bread and some dips. Then we had saganaki and fried calamari, both were really good! Next, we had loukanika and mixed gyros. To be honest, it's hard to go wrong with mixed gyros and Ena nailed it. There were a bunch of different types of meat to choose from and eating here left us satisfied.
One of the busiest Greek places I've ever been to. Right in the heart of Southgate, this place is definitely booming over the weekend. The food is delicious! I usually get the Mixed Gyro and the serving is MASSIVE and full of flavour. Staff are very nice and friendly and if they aren't too busy, they'll make time to talk to you. Great place overall!
Loved it - a perfect, airy, sunny spot by the River Yarra with a table overlooking the water and a light lunch of watermelon/haloumi salad, deep fried crumbed eggplant chips and saganaki with pomegranate/fig salsa. Truly scrumptious - more than enough for the two of us, and with a bottle of sparkling water, reasonable at $65 (it is Southbank after all). Will certainly head back for future reference.
You can't go wrong with Lamb Kebab! So, I ordered it and I was not disappointed. The lamb was beautifully flavoured and the pita bread was sooo good!
We also got one of the sharing plate for starters. The grilled feta definitely stood out me! What a yummy plate of goodness!
You can get seatings inside and also outside by the river. The decor and vibe was also really nice and inviting. Very relaxing evening with a lovely bunch of people.
Check this place out if you're ever in Southbank!
Some of the best greek Street food in Melbourne. I highly recommend sitting on the terrace & ordering a gyros! The food is tasty & the service is fast!
I loved it !! I had the falafel gyros and it was so delicious. $23 for such a huge and generous portion - side of Greek salad, handful of chips, 4 finger shaped falafels and 5/6 mini pita breads. I was so full and didn't finish it all haha. Definitely recommend ordering the gyros if you ever come and share with a friend - the portions are huge!
We had a lovely evening here, food and atmosphere great and service was so accommodating (even when I’d booked my table for the wrong day!) almost a perfect score but unable to split bills at the end of the evening was a bit of a downer
Very good Greek restaurant in South bank. Have been to this place couple of times. Both times I had chicken Gyro platter. Lil overpriced. However food is very good quality. River view seating is very good..!
Service is quite good here. They were able to cater to my last minute big group. Serving sizes are generous. The mixed entree platter was delicious. Would recommend that to sample a good variety. We also had the meat platters and were very full and satisfied.
Food was great and nice to share. Some items more than others. Definitely recommend getting a share plate of the Chef's starters. Staff were nice and attentive. And the view from the terrace over the Yarra River was fantastic!
Came here with a friend for our last night in Melbourne. Originally think the food shoukd be rated 3/5 but one star extra given because of the great view of Southbank.
Ordered the meat platter for two and dolmades.
- Dolmades was average as usual. A but pricey for 4 pieces.
- Meat Platter was huge: 6 pita slices, tzatziki, 4 patties, lots of chicken and pork. I found the overall dish, especially the patties to be overly salty and the tastenof each meat tastes similar so it lacked variety.
Overall, great view and decent food that was filling. Would definately come back if I crave Greek food.
ENA is an evolution of simple, fresh and flavoursome ingredients. They offer quality dining with a relaxed atmosphere we often visit while in the city conveniently located on Southbank along the Yarra River.
The restaurant has a great feel to it and great atmosphere staff are friendly and food is amazing
This is my go to Greek restaurant for the open souvlakis (gyros I think)! Meat is so nice especially mixed chicken and lamb, and so is everything else.
Ambience in the restaurant was very nice, had a cute Greek vibe to it. The staff were friendly and attentive. I had a chicken gyros, it tasted very nice and the serving size is definitely worth the price. Will be back again.
I live in Southbank and eat here all the time. Ena never disappoints! I usually order the lamb gyro dine in. Huge round platter of meat, salad, fresh pita and chips. Great atmosphere with live music some nights. The share platters are a great option for a first timer. Highly recommend!
Really great restaurant. I don't know how it has the same rating as some other greek restaurants in the area.
I started going here just to buy suuvlakis for lunch and decided to come back with my girlfriend for dinner one night. The view over southbank is awesome, the fitout is vibrant and the food is really good and fresh. We've come back here a few times and it has always been great.
The food was fresh, tasty and quick to the table but it was the service that really wowed me. Everyone was so friendly and courteous, making us feel very welcome from the moment we walked in.
A one hour ride on the South Morang line straight to the last stop gets you to this lively, bustling food hub in the busy Northern shopping centre of Plenty Valley. Launching their new food court, Westfield invited us to to ENA Greek Street Food, which also has a few chains in the Melbourne city surrounds, including Docklands and Collins St. It was a roomy, fresh interior with a Greek aesthetic of white and blue reminiscent of the blue topped roofs of Santorini, featuring a heavenly selection of souvlas, honeyed desserts and Greek wines.
I've had lots of gyros in my life and this one has definitely made a name in my heart! What surprised me the most is that their chicken selection is superior to all the other meat contenders. It was a lovely meal for my birthday week :)
N.B. It's located by the Yarra River, which makes everything better.
Booked successfully via Zomato. The food was authentic and true; no fancy twists in the food we grew up eating. It felt like home. The servings were massive, the service was lovely and the view off the balcony was just right. Have been back since and never disappointed. Many thanks, ‘Kali orexi’.
This place was packed , be careful how much you order as the portion sizes are enormous. Good location up above Southbank. We almost rolled out after eating the meal. The service was good and the meal was not rushed. Give it a try for lunch or dinner.
A friend and I went to Ena for a midweek dinner, it was super busy with Christmas dinners. We shared the mixed meat grill plate, the saganaki and calamari. It was all quite good, the calamari was particularly delicious. Cooked really well!
Ena have started breakfast, which some colleagues and I tried out this morning. Menu is very specialised to a Greek style breakfast, which makes it slightly different and exciting from the standard bacon and eggs or smashed avo. Hospitality was just lovely and the zucchini fritters with eggs were sensational. Very yum. Will be back.
Spring has sprung and what else is there to do in Melbourne other than go on a shopping spree and enjoy the 29 degree weather?! My newly purchased shoes and I took husband across the Yarra river to the lovely ENA. This place had great authentic Greek food and a plentiful drinks list to boot. The serving sizes were super generous and the staff were attentive despite the craziness that the lovely weather has brought about. Definitely a place to enjoy a summer sunset meal with family and friends! ❤️
If there's one cuisine I'm REALLY REALLY loving in 2017, it's gotta be Greek! It might just take my top contender for favorite cuisines. I love Greek food way too much and it was an honest and unexpected surprise when my friend and I decided to stop by ENA's for a very late lunch.
Firstly, to find a place open at 4pm on a weekday in Melbourne for brunch/lunch turned out to be such a hassle. We walked all around Southbank to find a place and to our luck, finally came across ENA. First impressions were absolutely amazing. The staff were really warm and welcoming and the place itself looks so good. It was a very aesthetically looking place and a very good view of the Yarra which is a win-win for me! Good food with a good view is always the best
With a family of 7 adults and 2 children it is safe to say ENA will be on the top of our go to list. Not one of us including the kids (who are fussy) left unsatisfied, we got incredible food which all meats, fish and vegetable dishes were cooked to perfection. We heard many of the dishes including the dips, spanikopita and stuffed cabbage leaves a made by older family generations and you can honestly taste it. The environment was lively without being too loud, the band was great and the service was above the rest. We were seated and served as soon as we arrived and the food came out with perfect timing.
Suitable for small or big groups, you may even see me there again!
ENA, please open more around!
The blue & white theme here immediately makes you think of Greece. When I think of Greek restaurants, I think of the banquets of meats and dishes that keep coming, but this place seems to offer something not as heavy. I like the Gyros, which has a bit of everything, though I still got too full in the end. The meat is very tasty, but a bit on the salty side. Very thirsty afterwards. The watermelon salad is really nice. They grilled the watermelon and put ice on top to make it cool again.
Beautiful food and lovely waiters. We had all appetisers which was definitely enough after a long day in the city. The dips were my favourite. Would definitely go again.
What a wonderful restaurant. The staff are so super friendly and just so helpful. We shared the feast and it was Amazing!! Everything single item was delicious and there was so much food. Go with an empty tummy so you can enjoy ever morsel. Thanks Ena we will be back for sure!
Very, VERY tasty souvalaki's. Ena is a short walk from my workplace so if I'm having a late night in the office I just pop down to ena and the food is great. I always order the mix souvalaki with garlic and hot chilli
Had a gorgeous 7 course meal here on a scoopon deal! The venue was absolutely beautiful inside and out. We got a table looking over the Yarra river on the balcony which was a stunning location! The staff were extremely friendly and happy to help! Secondly the food was absolutely amazing! It was the perfect amount and the flavours were stunning! The dips were authentic, the calamari was so tender and the saganaki was out of this world! Then onto the meat platter the gyros was the highlight among the other meat plates! Followed by an array of Greek desserts including baklava, Turkish delight and galaktobeureko! Each dessert was delicious in its own way and the baklava was full of sweetness and soaked to perfection! Will definitely come back again
I loved visiting ENA Greek street food! The food is amazing, the staff is very friendly and helpful and it's in the perfect location. I'm so looking forward to my next visit!
Southgate's plethora of premium restaurants makes it the perfect destination to enjoy hearty winter feasts. To welcome the arrival of winter, Gastrology were led on a culinary journey through Southgate as the chefs and bartenders showcased the best of what the season has to offer. First stop: ENA Greek Street Food
Charcoal grill on arrival at the entrance promised a feast. We had the set menu $52 a head. A selection of house made dips and fresh pita bread did not disappoint. The chargrilled octopus followed and a selection of chargrilled lamb, sausages chips and Greek salad. The service was attentive and polite. There was live music playing with several Greek families celebrating. A good experience b
Lovely setting with tasteful background music. Overlooks the water, and balcony was well heated on a chilly autumn night.
Now the food:
Sensational! Got the banquet. Saganaki was a highlight, as were the sensational dips. Every course was well prepared and presented, and 2 hungry people had no hope of finishing it. Service was prompt and friendly
Great food if around Southbank. Good service ask for a balcony seat the views are amazing to go with the service. Had the Calamari salad and Lamb Souvlaki couldn't fault either.
After Vangoh's exhibition we were very hungry and wanted something substantial, we walked by ENA and were greeted with much enthusiasm by the manager and he suggested that we order this Gyros dish. It was a good pick. We had this with the Mythos beer, seafood soup and some live music. Decor has a Mediterranean feel to it and we were surrounded by real Greeks patrons, for a second I thought we were in Greece. Cautionary note: If you want to chat amongst yourselves try to sit away from the band, once it starts it can be quite loud.
The mains were pretty good. The seating outside is beautiful and the wait staff were very friendly and accomodating. Dolmades however didn't taste that authentic and were quite bland
Simply authentic greek food and a variety to choose from!!
We had the Saganaki, Lamb cutlets, Calamari, Dolmades, the watermelon salad, Moussaka Croquettes and the Soutzoukakia.
There nothing to fault with any of the dishes. It was the first time I've not ordered the 'usual' gyros..
The place is cozy and the ambiance was great with a live band playing Greek and other classical music.
This place is a touch expensive but the food is fab. I'm vegetarian so haven't tried the meat options but they do an amazing spanakopita. Lovely setting by the river too. Staff are friendly.
Gorgeous sunset views at this very busy Greek restaurant. Loving the freshness of seafood platter. Even though they are super busy they handle things very professionally. Reservations are a must. Live music is such a nice touch!
Absolutely spectacular food! I cannot recommend Yassas more highly! The ambience on the balcony is wonderful and energetic. The quality of the cooking is 5 star! We will be back! Evharisto!
We had the mixed grill and tried a few of the dips. All excellent. The pan-fried pita bread was amazing.
Tastes exactly like a Greek one. Dishes name typical Greek style and description helps us what the dish is about. We had been here for a farewell. All liked the way food tasted. We tried many of the dishes and all tasted pretty good. We were completely satisfied. We took sometime to search restaurant in the mall. Must try dish is chicken or mutton gyros dine and obviously pita and dips.
First time dining at Yassas. We came for our Anniversary dinner and I must say the food was amazing! We had the Lamb Souvlaki, Calamari and Zucchini fritters and finished off with the Loukoumades topped with walnuts and honey. What a wonderful night we had eating this delicious feast overlooking the Yarra!!
We had the seafood platter and I think the calamari was the best I’ve ever had in my life. Add to that friendly service and great drinks makes this one of the best Greek restaurants in Melbourne.
Ticks all the boxes for a nice lunch. Efficient service, 😋 delicious food and a nice outdoor balcony to catch the river crowds vibe but not be in it.
Food is tasty and big serves, the entertainers where loud and added souvh atmosphere. The let was having booked we waited for 30 minutes and changed table once. Will still return
