One of the things on our 'to do list' in Melbourne was dinner in a Greek restaurant. We chose Tsindos on a Friday night as from the outside, it looked cosy, warm, full of character and had customers in it (other restaurants in the area were empty). It looked and felt like a family run restaurant. Though we are not... More

i stumbled across this restaurant one chilly night recently with a young lady I mentor professionally.... the atmosphere was warm enough to thaw the biggest of chills and that was before the food. Stringed instruments, accordian and voice set the scene, all in a family atmosphere, and then there were the families themselves, big, loving and vivacious, enjoying celebrating life... More

On friends recommendations we chose this restaurant in the Greek precinct. Awesome food,great service and ambience. The mixed platter Kria Piatella as entree was yummy and a good size for our party of 4. The bread was delicious, dips,dolmades..devine. My favourite main was the Seafood Saganaki, pan fried fresh seafood in a delicious tomato sauce. If you are looking for... More

Choose this restaurant as it looked the most authentic of the greek restaurants in the street. The live music was unfortunately the only highlight of the meal. After a while, someone showed up to take an order, but lost no time doing that, before being back to chat with her friend. The $12 grilled haloumi as appetiser was just that:... More

Have dinned here several times over a few years and always loved it. Not sure what has changed but my favourite moussaka was awful. Small serve, very bland and looked as though it had been sitting there all day. Was served with one piece of potato and overcooked peas. It was as though we were in a completely different restaurant.... More

Ended up there by walking around and got very hungry. Its at greek area so we thought it would be nice to eat greek food. It looked like a nice family owned restaurant where you would get homecooked meal, but instead we got a very mean waitress, really average food and expensive! We paid $100 for dinner for two, just...

I only ended up here because Stalectites was closed for renovations. The food here was plentiful but ultimately disappointing....certainly not outstanding. Tripadvisor rarely steers me in the wrong direction....however I think there are better options around.

FABULOUS food and service. We did the banquet. Plenty of food and so well priced. The tastes were amazing. Sundays have live music and this topped off the evening. Dont try any other GREEK restaurant. Its all here.
