Always accommodating, with friendly welcoming staff. Only too happy to assist with special food requests.
We had a 400g steak and a vegan musaka both of which were fabulous. Above all, however, the service by Mikhali topped it all off with his friendly and attentive service.

Came here for brunch and had a great experience.
The devilled eggs and the feel good brekkie were both delicious, although I didn’t realise loukaniko was pork which I don’t eat…that’s more of my fault for not checking than theirs. The rest of the meal was amazing though.
They have fresh squeezed juices which were amazing and the coffee was good too. The service was brilliant, the prices were really reasonable and I look forward to coming back and trying their dinner menu!
We came here during the week for dinner to catch-up with a friend and had a great time! We made our own banquet by ordering a number of dishes to share between us which worked really well. It was pretty quiet and a little cold in the restaurant but that’s suburban Melbourne on a Tuesday night! Must try the calamari, it was delicious, closely followed by the lamb souvlaki - yum! Available on the entertainment book app as well!
nice restaurant in northcote. on a cold night, it was so nice to be seated next to the fire, and keep warm, although the main door didn’t shut properly every time someone entered, which resulted in us sometimes having to shut the door because it got so cold!! the venue is nice, a bit noisy but still able to hear everyone. the table was fitted with a turning table in the middle which was great to put your plates on to share! the service was relatively quick and we got our delicious food. they catered so well for both vegans and non-vegans. the vegan dips were amazing, however maybe a bit too expensive for the serving sizes, and i can also recommend the baked potatoes, zucchini chips, and the vegan pie. the only food disappointment was that the calamari was over cooked. we loved everything else though and ordered some rosemary chips - some of the best chips ever! thank you, Laiko.

Walking down High st late on cold Friday night, we decided to try Laiko, based on the warm and cosy setting inside and were keen for some Greek food!
We decided to order the deluxe platter, which we knew would be way too much food for just 2 of us but were interested in trying a bit of everything (they always let you take-away what you can’t finish). We chose this option because of value: $55 pp included dips, bread and grilled capsicums as entree, a seafood platter and a grilled meat platter as mains and then of course baklava, Turkish delight and galaktoboureko! This was too good to pass up.
The food was amazing, after the entrees and the first seafood platter, we were legitimately full and we’re going to struggle on the meat the platter.
The stand out dishes for us, was the grilled capsicums, the grilled squid, the calamari and the lamb skewers. All the seafood tasted fresh and was served perfectly. The lamb was marinated and cooked with rich authentic flavours, was not dry at all.
Lastly the service, is impeccable . The young man that served us all night, was very attentive and polite, addressing me as sir and apologising each time he came over for “interrupting us” to ask how we were going with the food. These small details show the difference between good front of house and great front of house.
Would highly recommend this restaurant for a couples night or even a a group catchup as they have some large circular tables!

I cannot go past a vegetarian moussaka. This one was vegan with potato, eggplant, chickpeas and a tomato topping without the bechamel or cheese. The chickpeas and been brought into a paste so that the textures were smooth. The potato and tomato with all its herbs and seasoning was straight out of Greece.
ooorpa, very nice food & drinks, especially the Greek music & funny thing is there Indians. WARNING, make sure you dont twist your Ankle, I nearly did.
Great serving size of each meal. Welcoming decor. Efficient service. Unfortunately staff did not respond to my email regarding reservations. Besides that, a pleasant dining experience.
Good food.
Lamb and chicken souvlaki really good. Took a bit of time to cook and serve.
Service was alright, nothing great.
Food was the hero of the show
If you want a memorable meal (for all the good reasons), Laiko is your answer. Eleni and the team welcomed us for our children's christening lunch on a Sunday. They were hospitable, friendly, warm and very inviting, and the meat platter was out of this world! We couldn't rate Laiko highly enough, thank you team for an amazing lunch! We can't wait to come back down for another feast!
What an amazing experience from start to finish! Eleni and the staff were so friendly and helpful. Recommended just the right amount of food and variety. Delicious home made dessert platter. The boys LOVED the espresso martinis. Will be back again for sure. Just Wow
Fabulous experience at this restaurant. Highly recommend. Saturday lunch, delicious house made greek dips ( the eggplant and tzatziki outstanding), beautiful melt in the mouth calamari, superb pumpkin gnocchi, finished off with a mouthwatering house made Greek dessert. And equally outstanding was the hospitality. The warmest of welcomes and attention to our wants made me feel like I'd dropped in to see a friend and ended up staying for lunch. Everything is made with love and it shows. Go Eleni!
We had the most fantastic Saturday evening at Laiko! The customer service and atmosphere was excellent, we felt so welcome. I'm looking forward to going back!
The Moussaka was DELICIOUS and the lamb was cooked perfectly on my lamb & feta salad. Then the desserts...So many options are available, from the 3 different we tried all were sensational.
Thanks for a lovely evening!
Attended a function at Laiko, it was absolutely superb! The food, service, ambiance was magnificent. I’ll be returning for more without hesitation. Laiko is a rare find in Melbourne if looking for delicious traditional Greek food.
My wife and I celebrated our anniversary there last night and had the Seafood Platter. We’ve had many a platter at various places and the platter we had there last night literally knocked our socks off. The fish was not only fresh, but tasty AF, the mussels tender and free of beards and gritt. The Prawns were HUGE but sadly cold (unexpected, but super fresh, soft and tasty). If you want the best and freshest seafood cooked like Mum would, go here guys. It’s seriously Home on a plate!!!
We just celebrated our son's baptism at Laiko and we cannot express how amazing the service was from Eleni, Bill and Co. What a wonderful family and a small business well worth supporting. The food was amazing from start to finish and plenty left over for dinner tonight! Quality could not have been to a higher standard. Thank you. Sav and Soph
