My first HSP (because they don't make them in kid size servings, like that size at LOTF, but I hate fake meat). This one's $15 from Hellenic Bite, meat (chicken and lamb) on chips with garlic, bbq and chili sauce. It was delicious! We also had a $6 salad which was average and not particularly recommended with Coles on the same block (their potato salad is the best). It was very hot inside the eatery, oddly so.
The souvlaki here are even better than the ones in Oakleigh, my boyfriend and I drive all the way here just for the souvlaki because they are the best! So filling, so much meat and the bread is very soft and delicious! Yummmm! You must try these. The owner is really friendly and staff have great service.
UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT

This place is easy to review. Come here to get some of the BEST souvlaki in Melbourne. Also their burgers are kickass too. Finish everything off with a wonderful rice pudding. Easy to give this place a top rating. Check it out to see why
I don’t know why it’s taken me so long to try this place – it’s fantastic!
The vegan burger is out of this world. Great quality patty (lentil/brown rice/veggies), chewy delicious bun, and flavour packed salads and dips round it out. It’s filled with delicious smokiness and flavours – plus it is huge!
Hellenic Bite was packed at lunchtime, despite the new modern burger places encroaching on it from all sides - and for good reason. Fresh, delicious food. Great service.
I’ll definitely be back.
Yuuuuuuuuuum!
The salads were so fresh and delicious and the lamb and chicken were juicy and had so many crispy bits
Also the lady/owner? there was super friendly and just a sweetheart!

Best vegan burger! Very filling too. The lentil Pattie is huge. Highly recommended. So yourself a favour and try it. Go on, you know you want to....
Hellenic Bite is amazing! The vegan burger is the best I have ever had. The food is so delicious and nutritious, the servings are so generous and the price is so reasonable. The staff are so friendly too. One of my favourite new lunch places :)
We love going here. The owners are incredibly friendly and you can tell they put a lot of love into their food. We usually go for the gyros plate and its always absolutely delicious. The best Greek food we've had. Go here for its charming personality and nice homely feel.
I'm here on holidays with my wife from Staten Island, NY and decided to try this Greek restaurant. The food was amazing. The food was so good I thought I was in Greece for holidays instead of Australia. The best Souvlaki sandwich in town. I would recommend to anyone visiting on holidays.😊
Basic but yum, definitely a nice addition to Swan Street. The food isn't anything reinterpreted or elevated, it is just good honest grub. The prices are great considering its location too.
I recently had a craving for a souva and chanced upon this place. Whilst the price was a dollar or two more than the usual, I was super impressed with the taste and quality of their ingredients. I would put them on par with my fave souva bar, Stalactites.
No frills, yummy food, great value, all with a friendly homely service, like being in your Greek mum's kitchen. $20 for the "small" mixed plate. You can see the amount of meat given in the metal container in the photo attached. It really could feed 2 people. The salads were fresh and tasty too, I especially loved the potato salad with egg.
Try the mixed Yiros... sensational!!! Great service, and vibe with the lunch time rush. Highly recommended! I will be back there when in the area next...
I found myself in Richmond at lunchtime the other day, so I headed over to Swan St to check out Hellenic Bite, a Greek souvlaki and burger place. They won an Age Good Food Guide award for their food and came recommended from a couple of people on social media. A souvlaki joint is unlikely territory for a vegan, but they do a great vegan burger. The vegan patty is made in house from brown rice, small green french lentils and vegetables – I could make out at least corn and carrot. They were friendly and helpful and happy to answer the questions I had.
Brilliant. Walked past way too many times without trying. Wonderful food, fast fresh and friendly. Give it a go!
Great meat, Great Bread, Great Service...
Love. Massive servings, great food, cheap price, quick service. Ticks every box.
Bloody Brilliant (with one wish). Everyone needs to eat here! I've been coming here for the past 3 years and have tried everything on the menu. Everything is always bloody awesome. Can't go past that broccoli & mushroom salad - ever! My wish: I would love to be able to get a souv in a box occasionally, rather than in bread. Every now & then I just want that amazing meat with the lot but I don't want the bread. Might be worth considering as I have been to a couple of other places that do it & they fly out the door (especially in this low carb/no carb world we live in) KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK - YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST OF THE BEST!
Authentic Greek food at it's finest!. After reading the review in The Good Food Guide I finely had the opportunity to try out the souvlaki at Hellenic bite. Delicious mouth watering fresh meat. Salad was fresh and staff were friendly and polite. All reasonably prices. I will definitely be back.
I work on Swan St & come to this place for lunch/dinner at least 3 times a week & have been doing so for the last 2 years. I love the quality of meat & the fact that no matter what dish you purchase, there is no doubt that you will definitely be back. I've recommended this place to colleagues, friends & family & they have the most positive response every time they dine at this place too . I have no idea why "Don't-Tread-On-Me" has written the most outrageous, negative & false accusations deliberately "treading" & trolling on this great food establishment & the fact that you claim there was CURRY in your lamb souvlaki is beside the point. Maybe you've mistaken this Greek place for a Middle Eastern or Indian restaurant on Swan St. Lol.
Hellenic Bites was so delicious. The Mixed Yiro and chips with Tzatiki was so satisfying and affordable. The staff are so lovely and welcoming. Can't wait to come back.
Killer!. Delicious food from this little gem, the gyros and salad is absolutely killa dilla. Very friendly staff. It's tough to think of
SERVICE AND TASTE ALL AT ONE PLACE!!!. Good food! Good service! Good price! What more could you ask for. Super friendly service with a smile, the souvlaki was massive and full of flavour and the rice pudding was absolutely delicious. Thank you Hellenic Bite for giving my boys and me such a wonderful feed.
Bloody ripper. I just had one of these bad boys an hour ago. The meat is the best quality you'd find in a wrap/kebab/souvlaki and they're are goddamn stacked. The service was friendly too. If you need to be fed go here.
Great food, great service and generous servings. Loved it, will be back :)

This time, I didn't eat a giro (as they spell it). I was in the mood for a meal that was heavy on the veggies, so I turned down my temptation to order a giro (as Hellenic Bite spells its souvlaki-style sanger) and had a spanakopita plate instead. @ $10.50 for a decent serve of spinach pie, my choice of salad and some chips -- hey, they're vegetables! -- it was a good feed for the money.
The spanakopita portion was two square pieces, so it had some heft. There are two main schools of spanakopita recipes, as far as I've observed in the world. One variety, like the kind my X used to make, is heavy on the spinach. The other style is more spinach-and-sweated onions with a vinegary undertone. That's how Hellenic Bite's tastes. I prefer the spinach-y, but Hellenic Bite's filling was good too. It had a lot of feta cheese mixed in, so it wasn't like eating spinach puree in filo. Some Greek places cheap out by doing it that way.
The Greek salad I picked had big chunks of feta too, along with wedges of tomato, cucumber and a scattering of Kalamata olives. It was just the sort of healthy food I had in mind. Its goodness helped balance out the wicked hot chips that I was snacking on as I took the 70 tram back home. Man cannot live by virtuous food alone, eh?
Pricey but good. There are cheaper options close by, but in comparison the quality and serving sizes of this place can't be matched. If it were just a little bit cheaper, I'd be here more often.
Ohhhh my god! The most delishous lamb wrap in Melbourne! Packed full of lamb perfectly marinated and a generous serving of taziki, friendly service to boot, first class.
I was so hungry today and looked up and down Swan Street for a late lunch. I stumbled across Hellenic Bite and I was so glad I did.
I find with all the fancy and expensive burger places popping up that they just don't satisfy me.
I would look no further if you too crave the burger of your childhood with Greek flavours.
I had the chicken burger which was spiced and had bacon, guacamole, crispy shredded lettuce all on a fresh toasted bun.
The service was also really great and very friendly.
The salad and dips looked fresh and I look forward to trying them on my next visit.
Thanks Hellenic Bite for such a yummy and satisfying lunch.
Delicious!! They make te best wraps ever. Packed full of meat & scrumptious sauce. Absolute gem of a place!
I've been here several times and have always had the lamb gyros souvlaki. Nicest souvlaki in Richmond by far! Good quality lamb, tender and juicy, and chips seem freshly homemade, served with tzatziki and tomato sauce on the side. Definately going to order platter next time as they looked impressive!
Finally made it down to Hellenic Bite for a souvlaki and I definitely wasn't disappointed. I may have set a record for fastest time to eat a souvlaki last night. Great food,great service,great price.
Well cared for. Was blown away by the above and beyond caring nature found by the staff here. My friend who has a wheelchair was catered for by moving our table reservation to the front of the restaurant, I walked in with freezing hands and was given a pot of hot water and asked if I needed a heater to go under the table.
Food was delicious, portions very generations. Highly recommend!
Good food Good price Head .... Good food
Good price
Head their advice - a large id too bag for two people
Been here a few times and the food is consistently good. The meat is perfectly marinated and cooked the bread is fresh and the service puts the cherry on top
Absolutely delicious. Has to be the best Yiros I've eaten! Fresh ingredients, tender melt in your mouth lamb. Great fast friendly service every time. I'm even taking home Lamb and Chicken for dinner at home tonight.
Hellenic Bite is a must if you're near Richmond.
Freshest food ever!. Amazing salads! The best lamb & chicken souvlaki I have ever had in my life - and I am Greek! Excellent service, food is always fresh.
Falafel wrap excellent. Mixed meat wrap good. Proper pita bread, great feta, good quality ingredients. Friendly staff who care, great service. Keep it up!
Souvs or burgers. Have eaten there many times and always prompted to try the burger
well today i did not your average burger if you want that go to fish shop
the roll did not overtake the meat pattie and the flavours amazing as with there souvs Big Burger love love definitely will have again
I use to go to Lambs on Chapel for my souvlaki hit, never ever again. Hellenic Bite is worlds apart. Best Greek Food and Service in Melbourne. I highly recommend it to all you Greek lovers out there!
Great for lunch... in the office. Had the mixed souvlaki, along with chips and a selection of salads to share with the crew at work. Firstly the souvlaki was very generous in the meat department - and like my go to souvlaki Eurobites not too greasy, the obligatory lettuce, tomato and onion were there and the sauce was lovely yoghurty and not over powered by garlic. Salads were really nice and fresh standouts were the greek, tabhouli and the beetroot with baby spinach one (great idea that). Chips were fat and salty, but from a frozen bag they're not the best around.
I know I make a big deal of souvlaki not being greasy, but if you like most Melbournians grew up with the Souvlaki Bar, Lambs and Satactites you know gristly, greasy (albeit delicious) souvlaki with overpowering garlic sauce and sticky marinade on the meat. This new breed are a refreshing change with their meaty, charcoally with nice tatziki and fresh salad.
EXCELLENT chicken souvlaki!! Very nice dolmades.
Swan Street Gyro Hero. For a long time, Swan St lacked a good gyro option... then these guys showed up. Even with the addition of a Lambs up the street, this place remains the best place to get a quality bleating-eating. The partner and I like to get a large takeaway meal and cart it home to have with a bottle of red. The service has a true family feel is always appreciated. Also- they have a burger on offer for about 3 bucks cheaper than the rapidly declining Urban Burger next door and while I haven't tried it, it is on the list. Great chips too!
The best souvlaki i ever had in ma life, no comparison with other souvlaki or kebab shops on swan street or may be in whole melbourne. I am hooked forever.
Lovely people and fantastic food. Went the extra mile to make me a souvlaki when they'd already half packed up the shop. Delicious gyros, heartily recommend!
One of the best souvos ive had! Brilliant place! great service, very clean, the HSP is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! highly recommend if you enjoy top quality meals
Bloody ripper vegan burgers. Great size and taste. The chips here never fail to satisfy either and the staff are always friendly.
Best souvlaki I've ever had. Not much seating and take away could take a while at times, but it's totally worth it.
i think there are new owners
first time ive been there
GREAT CLEAN SERVICE WITH FRIENDLY STAFF
AMAZING FOOD
HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT
Great food, hugh portions, very nice staff, good price value - TOP!!!
