Awesome food. Highly recommend. Will definitely be back. We enjoyed the moorish tender pan fried calamari, honey soaked eggplant chips, incredibly tasty salad of peas, broad beans, mint, feta and freakah and cheese and spinach croquettes. Also loved halva ice cream and perfectly cooked baclava. Yum yum yum.
Just such a lovely place to eat for atmosphere, the best service and friendly staff. You do a great job Mary. I am so sorry you will miss Rosemary so much having been in there so often with her friends.The food is just marvellous..Glenis
Great quick service and a small nook can be found for the solo diner
Chicken gyros and vegetarian souvlakia excellent in taste and portion though the pastry spanakopita is flakey and difficult to eat falls apart and really is a downer
The oven roaste d traditional Greek dishes are actually fairly authentic and generous in portion and have nice sauce and come with well cooked caramelised onions carrots etc etc
For a Greek place offering restaurant meals for take way away I thoroughly recommend it
Delicious food, great service
Had a fabulous lunch here. Very authentic and generous serves. Special of lamb cutlets with skordalia was perfectly cooked. Will be back for dinner and looking forward to sitting in the courtyard on a warm evening.
This place never lets me down! Amazing food, lovely staff. Hellenis cafe delivers consistently great food which is hard to find these days, Highly recommend!
This place is my new favourite Greek cafe! The interior decor is very welcoming, the waiters are always friendly and know their menu very well. My favourite is their chicken souvalaki, lots of meat, chips and fresh salad - YUMMY!
Great food and pleasant setting! The grain salad is delicious. The staff are attentive. This is a fantastic place for breakfast/brunch in the eastern suburbs. The courtyard is a nice feature.
The food here was fantastic, however the only downside was the lack of acknowledgement when we walked in. Not even a simple hello or suggestion where to sit. It wasn't busy so we found a table ourselves which was no big issue but a simple greeting would have been nice. It wasn't like we snuck in. That aside we couldn't fault the food!
Great little cafe. 2nd time visiting. This time we had the calamari which came with chips and Greek salad but they let us swap the salad for their delicious grain salad. The whole meal was lovely. Recommending to everyone at work. This place also had a nice courtyard as well. Perfect for a sunny day.
We loved the combination of Greek & Mediterranean throughout the dishes! All the dishes were so full of flavour. They had an awesome range of vegetarian and meat dishes as well. Really enjoyed the breakfast menu especially as it was quite different to the usual Melbourne brunch. Not often do you find a place without Smashed avo on the menu! It encourages people to try new things and we certainly loved everything we ordered.
Hellenis Cafe is a husband and wife run Greek Mediterranean cafe that is growing quickly in popularity for good reason – every dish we have ever ordered has been done well (597 Whitehorse Road, Surrey Hills). Pictured is the Veggie Souvlaki with zucchini fritters, tzatziki and Greek slaw ($12). We also recommend the Calamari (pan fried calamari, aioli, chips and Greek salad) ($20), Mousaka (eggplant, potato, mince and bechamel) ($18) and chips (either potato chips with feta and oregano or eggplant chips with Greek yoghurt and honey … or both) ($8).
You will not be disappointed, this place is amazing. The food is fantastic, we opted for a set menu for a party of 10 and the food just kept coming! Every dish a surprise. Staff and service second to none. Don't take my word for it, go and try the experience
Enjoyed take away souvlaki. Clean and fresh but missing the street food taste. The restaurant was bustling but the food was delivered quickly.
Went with friends again tonight - this place just never disappoints. AMAZING food, quick service and all the staff are great. Recommend this place to all my friends. Can't wait to go back!
AMAZING!! One of my favourite restaurants. Chicken gyros, eggplant chips, taramasalata and pita are the stand outs for me. Lovely and welcoming staff! Would highly recommend.
Love the environment, there's a sunny court yard out the back and a catering hall which was the old bakery 90 years ago.
I had the Brekky Souva with the sriracha mayo, and that mayo is fantastic. Coffee is also great. And the price is very reasonable.
I definitely want to try more Greek breakfast..
Suitably relaxed environment with all of the hoped for dishes. A welcome (reasonably) recent addition to great Greek food in the Eastern burbs. Its likely to become a regular for us.
