Decent Greek food in the Oakleigh strip, nice service and the food arrived pretty quick.
Absolutely LOVED the feta fries and the grilled calamari. We tried the lamb open souva but found the meat wasn't as good as some of the other restaurants in the area. But still a delicious meal and I'd happily eat here again.
Really enjoyed my time at Kentro, it's the third time visiting. The food was delicious and plating was nice. The ambiance really reminded me of a European cafe.
My first time trying Kentro and boy was i impressed. I didn't know this place existed until i walked past it a few weeks back and decided to give it a try. Real food with that genuine Mediterranean taste. Friendly staff, nice coffee and display of cakes.
Wonderful food and atmosphere at Kentro in Oakleigh's Eaton Mall.
we all had breakfast these afternoon and one off us had the meat platter the food was excellent and the service was good the young lady was very polite and very helpful,also the coffee was very good and the cakes were delicious.these is our second time here , will be back soon keep it up
Was at Kendro for a fathers day lunch today. The staff were very warm and friendly. The food was a very generous portion and very tasty. A great experience, and I highly recommend to everyone
Its a great place I always love visiting there as the food is very delicious and yummy. "Friendly service freshly cooked and delivered to our table.
They definitely cater for vegans, being one myself, Kentro had an extensive vegan and vegetarian menu which was very well received seeing as it is a predominantly Greek area. The vegan pasta I ordered was delicious and came at a very reasonable price for the portion, good job.
Kentro, in Oakleigh, the place was PACKED when I went there for dinner last Saturday night. Can't complain about the food, and the service was quick, especially since the place was full, and it's a BIG restaurant.
Stopped by Kentro after an amazing dinner at BBQ-k
Ordered:
π₯ Baklava
β Hot chocolate, both for $8.00
Review:
Kentro does great baklava. Nutty inside, and incredibly sweet pastry outside that oozes in your mouth. What a memorable experience!
The hot chocolate had just enough chooclate and warm feelings to set me up for great sleep. Kentro added 2 marshmallows on the side - how cute!!
Overall, was a decent place. There were lots of mirrors inside lined up against the wall πΈπΈ
Not only does this place have great service, but you can even get their food on uber eats π Iβd highly recommend the open plate souvlaki π It was delicious π
Surprisingly excellent food. We did not expect great things from a restaurant in the Oakleigh strip on a cold Melbourne night but Kentro absolutely delivered. Large servings and a waiter and kitchen only too happy to add roast veggies to the Superfood Salad for the vegetarian of our party (me!)...and Iβm a fussy vego! Will definitely return. Well done guys.
This is my daily hangout place for coffee in Oakleigh. I go to others in Oakleigh but I enjoy the vibe more at Kentro as it offers a larger floor space for a bit more privacy during my morning and afternoon coffee breaks
I brought my Groupon voucher here for Breakfast the previous Saturday morning, and let me tell you, it was amazing!! The breakfast here is second to none, best in Oakleigh. For the price we paid, and for the portions we received, you really can have no complaints. We were greeted and seated right away even though the restaurant was FULL. The Groupon even came with fresh juice to accompany our breakfasts. I will definitely be back!
Great vibe always when I come, very busy and bustling atmosphere. Came here last weekend, nothing different, still busy, still quick service and good food!!
They have a massive menu here at Kentro Oakleigh, they cater for everyone which is great. I am a vegan and they had many options in their menu that I could choose from which was nice.
Ordered the lamb burger and vegetarian burger that had the haloumi. Lamb burger had a nice and juicy patty. Vegetarian burger was cooked to perfection. Great flavours. Hot chips were also excellent
Had a fantastic seafood platter for 4 the other weekend ... IT WAS HUGE!! Really nicely cooked fish, calamari, prawns, mussels etc. Great value for money

I go to Kentro regularly and i am always surprised at the new cakes they have available. Great place for coffee and a cake, and they are always so tasty and fresh!
Really nice food here at Kentro, love the big portions they give you and very accommodating people. We had a few people on our table with some allergies, and they catered to our needs very respectfully. Atmosphere nice. Kentro is now our go to spot!!
Fantastic mixed plates, amazing risotto and steak.great value and fast service. We are new to Oakleigh and Will will become regular customers.

I love that Kentro has such a huge menu, including many VEGAN options!
I tried the Vegan risotto, which was simple and tasty. It was a good size for me too, satisfying but not too filling.Β
The staff were very friendly! Venue was well presented, clean and comfortable. Would definitely go back to try more vegan dishes.
come often to Kentro, great spot in oakleigh to have a nice filling meal and coffee. The service is also good and prompt and atmosphere always buzzing here
Went for breakfast today and was not disappointed, with a large variety of breakfast meals me and my friends were very pleased. Ingredients tasted very fresh and lots of flavour!
Came here the other night, food was fantastic, large portions and great value for money, lots of cakes to choose from coffee also very nice! Will return!!
I come kentro Friday night with my family. We have ate platters and some starters like saganki, we also eat calamari and had some dessert. All food was very good and i be coming back with my friend next Friday :)
Have visited here many times. The food is good and you get Nice sizes for money value. The cakes are good too but sometimes the cream based cakes are hit n miss. The staff are great here no issues there. Please try to also add more variety of cakes such as carrot cake, sticky date etc
Great value of money:: we are group of 6 friend and came here on last Friday and had seafood platter, crusted salmon and mixed gyros. Food was very delicious, every one enjoy the food. After food we try cake and coffee, I had choc mousse. Amazing coffee and cakes as well. Great night
Fantastic....Had a calamari meal so tender, beautiful. Services was really good and easy. Will come again. My lunch is only 45 min and was served very efficiently. Love it
Was at Kentro two days in a row. Had a small bite the first day - Greek sausage. I've tried Greek sausages before, but this one was a cut above the rest. The next day we came back and tried the grilled calamari salad and a gyros platter. The calamari salad was to die for. Great service as well.
I come from the northern suburbs and mate do they know how to make a frappe and a kok as us greeks call them. I always drink my coffee in a takeaway cup and the staff had no issue in remaking my frap in a takeaway as I didn't mention it the first time round. Atmosphere was pumping, the staff were happy and that kok was worth the drive.
Had the mixed lamb gyros and chicken, was very delicious and delightful. Was very impressed with the service from the waiters was attentive. We were checked upon every so often just to ensure everything was going well. With the plate it cost me $24, however down the road there's a few places that offer the exact same even in portions for $20-$22. So slightly higher than some good places around. The atmosphere here on a Friday night was thriving and my group of friends were quiet pleased with their meal.
If Generous portions, yummy food, high quality and amazing atmosphere is what you expect to get at a restaurant, Kentro is the right place!
We ordered Smashed Avo (replaced smoked Salmon with poached eggs) and Big Brekkie. Wondering why the menu says a βlayer of Avocado on toastβ, there were big chunks of Avo on toast, beautifully dressed with Feta cheese and mini Roma tomatoes. Big brekkie was the highlight of the table. Every single element was beautifully cooked and presented and it was not hard to realise all the ingredients are top quality.
If you live in Melbourne and you havenβt been to Eaton Street Mall and Oakleigh Central yet, make sure to go and have a look around and give Kentro a try, as its definitely worth it.
5 of us had dinner here tonight.we had Saganaki, Grilled Octopus and Mixed meat platters. Platters were huge, tasted great and fantastic value for money. Now can we do coffee and cake.....so full π
Fantastic for a Sunday brunch. The place is busy but, relaxing. The staff are friendly
Great food and freshly squeezed juice. We will definitely come again.
We went for dinner and had a platter of dips & bread which were homemade and fresh the calamari was very tender and yummy and well cooked vine leaves , followed buy a meat platter which had chicken skewers , tender lamb , pork , beef and chips which were all cooked well. ending with a traditional Greek desert. Served by friendly staff.
Dined at Kentro last night with 9 friends. Food very good. Massive serves. Excellent service from Chris and staff. Will definately go there again in summer though. One negative, restaurant was quite cold.
Lovely spot outdoors under the morning sun. Freshest ingredients comprising this lovely Sunday brunch a respite from the day to day rushed brekkie/ brunch. Thanks to Bobby and a couple of other front of house staff for their cheerful service!
For starters we ordered the Loukinaki plate which had chargrilled Sudages with tatziki and lemon. The sausages were really good. They had an Aussie omlette too, but I went for the simple one with ham and tomato. Great brunch for reasonable rates.
Very spacious restaurant which had plenty of chairs and tables inside and outside, with the outside protected by wrap around plastic sheets. The staff were very friendly and attentive and greeted us at the entrance to welcome us in. Our waiter would come to check in on us, bring napkins and the like. Generous portion sizes for the mixed gyros and salad was a plus.
Amazing deal for the meat platter coupon deal! Super friendly staff! Good fresh food! Came out really fast! Even had another massive entre dish with calamari and dipsπ Impressed!
Tried this Greek resto in Oakleigh as one of my friend craving Greek gyros. Restaurant was busy for Sunday lunch. We chose seats outside and the resto setting was nice. We ordered lamb salad, omelette, chicken gyros and mixed lamb and chicken gyros. The food was ok, but the ambience is nice. Lamb abd chicken gyros a bit salty for my liking, but then flat bread was warm, soft and good. As it was busy, we have to keep looking for waiter for water.
We had the veggie breakfast and the big breakfast, poached eggs were cooked perfectly and we were happy with 2 pieces of seeded toast per serving as most cafes only provide one piece of toast. The servings were quite large but we finished off everything. The freshly squeezed orange juice was sweet and yum. Highly recommend.
Went for breakfast last Sunday, itβs a great location at oakleigh, tried the French toast, the service and serving was very generous, a fantastic place and the vibe around Eaton mall is so good.
Fantastic place to eat. Great food and service with a smile. Ordered a meat platter and it was huge and very tasty. Will definitely be back again.
Nice place, friendly staff. The food is simple but nice. The restaurant and area itself was less than half full but it was already quite noisey - so probably not a place to go for a quiet cup of coffee.
Kentro is just sensational. Best food, coffee cakes, service with a smile. Love the atmosphere and vibe!! Highly recommended.
Keep up the great work!!
Have eaten here now afew times and love it!!!
Staff are so friendly but by far my favourite is the service this place provides always 10 out of 10.
My best dish there is the calamari salad with a gin and tonic!!!!
Loved the food, Salad was fantastic, I highly recommend you try π₯π½. I had the barramundi, also the lamb gyros was so tender and hubby had lamb skewers
Booked kentro for my sons christening upstairs.. excellent hospitality, alot of food and great service at a very good price.. i definitely would recommend it.. thankyou to Anna and staff.
Had a lovely time at kentro for dinner last night - the Lamb Souvlaki was awesome, the staff are friendly and fun, the owner visited our table, which is always a great sign of a business that values their guests
Such beautiful staff. I spent the day sketching and one of the lovely waiters gave me a free coffee after telling me how lovely my work is. It's now my everyday cafe πβ€
The cute design in the cappuccino was great and cheerful. Tasted really nice and not to hot as some taste like burnt milk. The food also was really nice with a menu for everyone's likes. Very busy on the weekends which means people are liking this venue as a few seemed empty around the place of the mall. I had the meat platter for 2 which was very much served with a lot of food and not overly pricey. The prices seemed normal mains prices and yes I will be telling my friends of this place. Nicely done and service was reasonably ok.
Guys the desserts here are just wow. I've had the new Ferrero cake and anyone that likes the ferrero rochers would like this too. Nearly every week a new cake is created to meet the desires of a sweet tooth person.
Just been there for lunch today had the super food salad - it was probably one of the best salads I have had - loved it - told my co-workers - we all going back there next week -!!!
Went to Kentro on Sunday afternoon for my friend's Belated birthday dinner. Really enjoyed the tasty food & drinks & fantastic hospitality!
The open Souvlaki was really tasty and moorish and great idea to include 3 kinds of meats.
Washed it down with a few cold beers & then desert of a very layered and delicious chocolate cake and Greek coffee!
Kentro is my new favourite in Oakleigh & will definitely visit again !

Reading the reviews from the past I was sceptical, but clearly Kentro have made a change for the better.
Came in to have a quick breakfast before catching the train. Our server was polite, friendly, and welcoming. I don't know what it was about the King Tower, but I came in to the restaurant starving and left feeling like I won't need to eat for the rest of the day. I was absolutely stuffed. The coffee was different to the standard coffee you'd find in Melbourne. Bitter and tangy, it was a welcome change to the usual style you'd find. While I'm not a expert, I suspect it's was a more Greek-style coffee (please correct me if I'm wrong).
For those who dislike the smoking... It's a Greek cafe/restaurant in Oakleigh. Of course there's going to be old Greek men smoking, drinking coffee, and chatting. To expect anything other than that would be un-Australian. Sit inside if you come here with children or those who wish to avoid the smoke (such as myself).
Looking forward to coming back and trying some cakes.
Came in on labour day. Ordered chef's choice and omelette for breakfast. Top it with cappuccino and piccolo. Generous portion and average coffee. Nothing extraordinary but definitely satisfies your brunch crave. Would come back again in near future after a morning stroll.
Best place in Oakleigh. I've been to Kentro a few times since they opened and i can say by far they are the best shop in the Oakleigh mall. Quick and polite service, beautiful food and outstanding cakes. Staff are friendly and the atmosphere complemented the shop very well. See you all soon!
OMG have you tried the cakes. The portions are so big, and the meals. Had a birthday on Saturday and had a beautiful time the music playing in the background, he might just need a backup but otherwise he was really good. Waitress was very friendly staff behind bar where helpful as we need to split the bill and no problem, where others don't like doing that. All that I can say is well done and see you very soon .
Had lunch with my girlfriends at Kentro. Never been before and was very impressed. Food was awesome
Service was great coffee was the best in Oakleigh by far. If anyone needs a good coffee then Kentro is the go. Will definitely come back. Keep up the good work xo
Came to Kentro on Wednesday night and it was beautiful! They had a greek band playing which really lifted the atmosphere and made me feel like i was in greece again, something the other places in Oakleigh dont necessarily have. The service was exceptional, and the food was very good for the price the portions were massive! I will be going back shortly!
very good service, very tasty food, definitely one of the best places to go in Oakleigh compared to a lot of other places that dont justify their price tags. will be dining again soon
Best grilled calamari in Melbourne!
Accidentally ordered the wrong meal, my fault and they were happy to replace it, exceptional service!!!!
Had a lovely dinner with friends the food was excellent service was great as well anything we needed they had it to our table in a flash. Thanks guys for a lovely night
This is one of the best Greek restaurants I have dined at. The customer service was excellent. The food was delicious and the after taste and memory makes my pallet salivate and I am drawn back to visit again. The choice of desert and taste was perfect. A big thanks to the young lady who took our orders and the tall young man who served our dishes.
Kentro in Oakleigh is a absolutely outstandingly good Cafe/Restaurant Cake Shop, there are so so many different choices of delicious Cakes and Pastries to choose from and they are all beautiful! Infact I would go as far to say that everything on the Menu is delicious and made with love and care, the staff are so friendly and do a great job at keeping up with all the customers as this place can get really busy, but in saying that service is pretty fast, Kentro is also open until reasonably late, so you don't have to rush out to make it in time before they close, the Coffee is high quality and made to perfection, the prices are extremely reasonable for the quality, I was really surprised by how good the prices are!
I Highly Recommend Kentro in Oakleigh
It's a perfect place to enjoy a meal or something sweet with any kind of company.

Really lovely front of house staff that ensured myself (on crutches with a spinal injury) and my 60+ year old father (with a walking stick) were seated and comfortable.
The coffee is a nice blend and well made.
And oooooooh the cake cabinet makes it hard to choose because everything looks absolutely fantastic! They make a fantastic cheesecake (I had the Bailey's cheesecake) and even the biscuit base is to die for.
I'll be back to true their lemon tart or lemon meringue because if their cheesecakes are divine, I can't wait to see how well they make lemon curd.
UPDATE: I returned for the lemon tart! Lemon tart/meringue is my go-to cake after I try the more unique/novelty cakes somewhere, with nobody de-throning my grandmother from top spot in the 30+ years since I first had her lemon meringue. Mum came in a very close second.
Sorry Mum and Nanna, but you both just went down a spot in my ranking of lemon tart. π€£ I've never had a perfectly creamy and soft lemon curd that has a nice sour kick, there's always the texture from zest until yesterday! I was with Dad, and he said it looked like I was about to cry.
That's some lemon tart!! π
My partner and I were in the area over the weekend and couldn't help by being taken back by the appearance and delicious smell of kransky's on the grill. We had to give them a try and am glad we did, very generous portion with cheese and onion. Wrapped in a large hotdog bun, the bread was fresh and reasonably priced. It came out quickly and was delicious!
Delicious food at Kentro! The gyros and chargrilled calamari was huge and we enjoyed every bite of it. Will definitely be back π
Great place in Oakleigh for a meal whether it be breakfast, lunch or dinner. I could eat the tsoureki french toast everyday it is so good. The calamari is tender and the 3 meat skewers are a definite favourite. Desserts are a hit as well. Staff are welcoming and friendly.
Been here a few times , friendly and with good food
Delicious Greek food. Loved the dips. The food portion is quite big, for an Asian tourist like me (Iβm from Singapore). Had a lovely dinner here.
