This place is a Melbourne institution and is a must visit! Food is always delicious and authentic with excellent to match. We love the mixed grill, the calamari, and the saganaki is to die for. Our interstate friends from Sydney specifically request that we take them to Agapi as they don't get this quality up there. Food heaven.

Melbourne is famous for incredible Greek food and Agapi is the reason why. Serving traditional Greek delicacies for 50 years, you know it's gotta be good. I always bring friends here to show off that Greek food is more than a souvlaki.

This time my friends and I had a selection of dips, fresh garlicky pita, saganaki and their signature octopus to start. Then I had the stuffed pepper while they had a selection of meats off the spit plus sausages and Greek meat patties.

Alicia our host could not be more friendly and accommodating. You don't even need to look at the menu because she'll get the chef to prepare what you need. The Cabernet Sauvignon from Greece was smooth and paired beautifully with the meal.

The atmosphere is cosy and always with a hum of laughter and chatter. People always stay way after they've finished their food, you know that's a good sign!

Highly recommended and remember to book because they're always busy!

I had a great experience at Agapi.
A group of us shared the dips, saganaki, mixed grill, seafood platter, salad, calamari & chips. All were delicious and the meat & seafood platters were full of flavour. We left content and full.
Staff were very friendly and made the experience even better.
I would return again and recommend to others if you like Greek food.

A great Greek restaurant with a vibrant atmosphere and lovely serving staff. My guests and I ordered a meat platter for 2, dips for 2, and a serve of Moussaka, and it was plenty for 4 people. This place is at the top end of the budget scale but it's definitely worth it! The meat is perfectly cooked and everything is delicious. Make sure you ask staff for food-drink pairings - the wine recommended to have with the lamb was a wonderful combination.Will certainly return here next time I'm in town for another fantastic meal! It was a bit loud, but that's what you expect from a Greek restaurant on a Saturday night.

I’m pretty sure I’m speaking to all Greek food lovers when I say what where looking for is Greek food that means business, I.e charcoal cooked gyros that melts in your mouth, freshly made pita that’s warm on arrival, homemade Tzatziki that is so creamy you eat it by itself, olives that fall apart when they touch your teeth, olive oil which you could literally drink out of a glass and a galaktoboureko that lets face it I think I’d almost kill for it the custard was perfect... so yeah that’s what you’ll get at Agapi hold the fancy pants Greek for now this place doesn’t muck around. P.s BYO favourite red now that’s a winner.

We wanted Authentic Greek cuisine as most offer a large portion of food. When we dine with the husbands quantity is important and the servings at Agapi are very generous. Mixed grill and the seafood platter you are guaranteed to have left over. The dips and bread are always a perfect way to start, a nice spread. The grilled pickled octopus was very good. The saganaki was a dry and probably my least favorite, it had chunks of tomato pieces on it, not sure why and what this added to the dish. The Greek salad was Greek salad.

My key 3 Pointers
* Dessert options were baklava and Turkish delight nothing was screaming eat us and seemed very heavy. Unfortunately had to go down the road for coffee and desert
* Food was good but something about the bill made me question why it was so expensive. Quantity over quality may have been the thought
* I wish we were downstairs, upstairs felt a little disconnected from the vibe, not as warm and inviting

Agapi is the epitome of an old-school Greek restaurant that dishes up authentic Mediterranean cuisine.
From the generously sized portions, to the well-spiced and flavoursome traditional items like the Moussaka and Mixed Grill, you are bound to leave having satisfied both your tastebuds and your hunger!

From first entering this stunningly presented establishment I was welcomed like Greek loyalty and I'm not Greek! Brilliant ambience and welcome by Tim!
Great rapport built to start off with and trust built for Tim to take ordering to next level ordering for us after qualifying what we like and don't like ..
Brilliant selections of dips and saganaki to start with and I tell you it set a high standard, after mains of lamb chicken calamari prawns and everything else in between like amazing Greek salad I was certain this was best Greek food I've ever had!!! I have been to Greek islands too so very big call to make!
Would I recommend - hell yes! Great customer service , astonishing food, amazing ambience and welcoming feel and affordable with decent size serves I would of gone over a 5 if it was possible!

Thank you Agapi I'll be back!!!

ToFeedTwo came to a beautifully presented, cosy & warm restaurant in the heart of Richmond to celebrate the better half of ToFeedTwo's 25th birthday!

Authentic Greek food is what we found, and thoroughly enjoyed. Our entree of saganaki was fantastic, and our mains were very nice. For the mains, The meat on the mixed grill was simply top notch; full of herbs & spices and melted in your mouth. The Moussaka was traditional and very flavoursome, topped with a red sauce that also added flavour to the baked vegetables. The only downside was ordering a plate of chips - which was rather underwhelming with a total of 16 chips - the plate looked quite bare - lol!!

A cute restaurant with good, traditional Greek food. Yum yum - and Happy Birthday to one half of us 🎉🎉

Always a big feast when I come to agapi! Just don't bother with the menu and ask the waitstaff for a meat or seafood platter! The bonus is that you can BYO! The negative is this place is that the service is on/off... some nights I've been I had to ask the waitress 4-6 times to come and take our order, while other times they've been super friendly and quick. Overall simple Greek food without any fuss.

I've been here many times before and not once has it ever disappointed. As per usual the food was fantastic, the service was impeccable and the ambience was outstanding. I couldn't fault anything even if I tried. This is Melbourne's most authentic Greek Restaurant and will never let you down. Food comes out fast, and it's not because it's pre-cooked as some people have said below, its because its shredded meat off a spit, which means it's been cooking non-stop. This is the authentic way of eating Greek food. You won't be disappointed. You can't go wrong with the meat platter, but of course, if you're one of these rare meat kind of people, then go elsewhere, because that's not authentic Greek.

It was a warm night and we were really looking forward to Agapi.  The main problem here was the NOISE - it was deafening.  I could not even hear my friend speaking across the table for two!  The floors are wood and packed in so it was really too much.

The food was good, but very little of it for the price.  We shared dips and had one main course each and the bill was $90 without wine.  We had mineral water which was $10.

The service was good, but not being able to even speak to each other was definitely a turn off when you are wanting to catch up.

Lost a whole point due to the volume. Please do not go on a date here unless you enjoy yelling. Difficult to park near to the restaurant.
The food was all very delish - calamari, whitebait, mixed grill, beef moussaka and the lamb in tomato dish!
Service was just ok, nothing spesh.

Situated on the quieter side of Swan St, family-owned Agapi has been around since 1968, and under the current owners for over 20 years. Dark, bare brick gives off a warm and homely feel, and the upstairs section is popular for family functions.

Located on bustling Swan Street in Richmond, Agapi serves up delicious rustic offerings that are inspired by the streets and beaches of Greece. The restaurant offers quality dining within a relaxed atmosphere. The use of communal dining spaces and a focus on share plates nods to the venue’s strong roots in Greece, where meals are a fun, social and a celebratory affair.

Been a casual diner at Agapi for yonks. It's a great casual Greek restaurant that's been consistent for years. Can't fault the food or ambience. We're creatures of habit and always order the same food - mixed dips, saganaki and gyros. Never disappoints. More than reasonable markup on wines too. Their Pizzini Pinot Grigio is $35. Dan sells it for $21. Anywhere else it would be over $40.

It's All Greek to Me!. This place has gone from the place where I used to go when Salona (next door) was full but has become my go-to greek in Richmond. Always seem to order the same thing which is unusual for our group but you just can't go wrong with the saganaki, dips, and a selection of mains from the grill. Thanks this time to Tim and Aleisha who directed us away from over-ordering and kept us entertained the whole time. Love that you can BYO here (currently $6 bottle) as many others do in this strip (except Salona actually) and makes it a great option for quality cheap and cheerful in case this is what you are after.

This place is really sweet... The staff were really friendly and happy to give us as much time as we needed. We had saganaki and grilled calimari to start - both were delicious.

6/10 - Seafood platter was good, but meat platter was dry. Due to lack of planning, our original restaurant of choice was closed for a private function, so we decided to give Agapi a try. We ordered the dips, seafood platter for 2, meat platter for 1 and a greek salad.

The seafood platter was well cooked with fresh produce. The whitebait was crispy and delicious although the scallop which I had was overcooked. Apart from that pretty happy with the seafood platter.

The lamb on the meat platter was disappointing though. It was dry and tough and as it was the bulk of the platter, even 4 adults couldn't finish it. The rest of the meat platter was acceptable, but nothing to rave about.

We had the mixed dips which I thought was a bit dear for the price. Basically about a dessertspoon and a half of each of the 4 dips for $14. Bread not included, it was $2 on the menu, but I only found out later we were charged $6 for 3 serves. I know it is a restaurant, but considering we get a bag of similar bread everytime we go to Sydney Rd Lebanese, $6 is a bit rich for pieces of flat bread.

The other noteworthy point about this dips is that they surely like their garlic. Garlic fans will love it, but better have some tic tacs hand aftewards. 3 out of the 4 dips were loaded with garlic, a bit too much in my opinion. The egglplant dip just tasted of garlic instead of eggplant.

Overall I would give it a 6/10. Good seafood platter, but nothing else that would bring me back.

Professional Service. Just to preface there were five of us at the table - this is an excellent restaurant if you put yourself in the hands of the wait staff and let them organise shared starters, shared platters for mains and a couple of dessert items. With a few drinks thrown in.
We had saganaki, dips, bread and octopus to start - the dips were super strong flavours and the saganaki is always great, but you have to eat it fast because it is best hot.
For mains we shared a small meat platter and a large seafood platter - see the photos.
Dessert was just a piece of turkish delight each and a piece of custard slice each with a coffee.
Anyway I liked it and it was a fun night out.

Yummy. Went in a medium sized group so booked ahead. They kindly rang earlier in the day to confirm so that was a nice touch. The group all loved the food and the hot pita bread and dips is a really nice way to start the meal. If you have left over dip, just get some more bread. We didn't go for any banquet but the individual meals were great. The spiced lamb was a favourite as was the stuffed peppers. We all had dessert, which was nice but the baklava wasn't quite as sticky as I like. Service was good but a little pushy at times. Okay, we are a medium group and sometimes noisy with the conversation but the sit up and tell me now attitude was a bit grating. Good evening though and the food is reasonably priced.

Amazing!. A brilliant experience all round - such warm, welcoming, friendly service, tastiest Greek food I have ever had and a really authentic feel to it. Be warned though you won't be able to stop eating and you are likely to leave feeling rather full!! The dips and saganaki starter unreal!! The mixed grill and moussaka a must!!

I've eaten at Agapi a couple of times a year for the past five years and can't fault the place.

The service is stellar, friendly and attentive, without being in your face and there are the personal touches of remembering preferences. Great atmosphere and very good (without being outstanding) traditional Greek fare.

I'll definitely keep coming back for more.

Cosy environment.. With a slightly dark setting. Coming from a Greek heritage and having eaten Greek food my whole life.. The food here was fantastic! Probably the best Greek meze I've had in Melbourne... The dips and saganaki for the entre was exceptional! Definately eating here again very soon!

Banquet heaven. Went here for my birthday dinner- they let me change the booking numbers without a hassle, which is rare these days. We all ordered the banquet- it was delish.

Best points: they let us take a breath in between courses. The dips were amazing, best Tarama i've had in a while. Saganaki is always going to be delish.. Oh, and the seafood platter had huge prawns on it, which you dont usually find. shame I dont eat them....

Worst points: was a bit dark in there, and they didnt explain what was on the meat platter.... awkward

All in all, I'd go again. Definately recommend for a function

Delicious home made Greek food complete with the authentic grumpy waiting staff (in a charming way which takes you back to the old country). BYO. Recommended. Stuffed peppers are amazing.

Absolutely excellent! This was such an amazing dining experience. I think the pita bread may be the best I've ever had... And the dips were unreal! Everyone enjoyed their meals; lamb cutlets, mixed grill, stuffed peppers, and octopus. Definitely makes the list of our top favourite restaurants in Melbourne!

This would be the best Greek food I have ever had. Everything was cooked to perfection and seasoned just right. The service was great and the wait staff were extremely friendly. Highly recommend this quaint restaurant in Richmond. My family and I will definitely be going back.

Our group of friends had a great lunch meal here. The service was very good and the food exceeded our high expectations. The various seafood and meat options were delicious and generously proportioned. The restaurant has a cosy feel - we'll definitely be coming again.
