Waitress was new and put us wrong on one of the dishes which was much larger than suggested and we didn't eat it, and also didn't particularly like it (lemon potatoes). Presentation was good. I had the calamari and liked everything about it except the charring which I found very bitter so was unable to eat much of the calamari but enjoyed the bread and avocado tzatziki. Enjoyed the gorgeously presented cocktail. Husband had the lamb cutlets which he enjoyed.

Menu is outstanding with many classic Greek offerings along with elevated fresh takes from seafood to vegan. My husband ordered a bountiful seafood platter that was served over cooked vegetables. I had a stuffed eggplant with quinoa, tahini, and sweet potato. We both enjoyed the meal and the atmosphere. You need a reservation as people were being turned away without one.

Going to Urban Greek was a mixed experience. On the menu were recognizable Greek specialties like lamb chops and Greek salad, but the local presentation of those specialties was puzzling. The lamb chops were reasonably well done: juicy if not especially well seasoned. The accompaniments were strange: the eggplant puree and roasted pumpkin seemed a weird and inedible local invention. The greek sald featured tasteless tomatoes (strange for summer) and feta that was (ugh!) melted. Because I could pick my way through the mess (there's no other word for it), I ended up having a decent meal. Aside from the meal, the service was subpar. The salad arrived with one of the mains whereupon the server removed the salad plates, as though to suggest, I'll give you time to admire the salad before you may eat it. When I protested, she just shrugged like a modern version of Marie Antoinette: let them eat with their fingers.

Hi, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We genuinely value all input, as it helps us refine and enhance our dining experience. We're glad you found some elements of your meal enjoyable, such as the lamb cutlets, and we appreciate your candid thoughts on the accompaniments. The eggplant purée is indeed one of our modern Greek creations, blending tradition with a contemporary twist, and it’s a favorite for many. We’re sorry to hear it didn’t resonate with you. Similarly, the feta in our salad is served as a mousse, as noted on the menu, to add a unique touch to the classic Greek salad while preserving its essence. We’re also disappointed to hear about your experience with the service, as this does not reflect our commitment to providing attentive and professional hospitality. Your description highlights areas we need to address with our team to ensure such missteps don’t happen again. Your feedback has been shared with our kitchen and service teams, and we’re committed to making improvements. We hope you’ll consider giving us another opportunity in the future to show you the best of what Urban Greek has to offer.

My wife and I went to Urban Greek recently. We were disappointed in the manager and or owner. My wife ordered a $17 glass of Pinot Grigio which she enjoyed…..and upon ordering a second glasss ….noticed the color was different and it tasted horrible. Furthermore, My wife witnessed the owner/manager pour both glasses…and she informed the server that the 2nd glass was the far and away inferior……and not the same as the first glass. The server stated that in fact it was a different wine and didn’t think they had the same wine. However, when my wife told the server she didn’t want anymore wine…..the original wine suddenly appeared. Although the food was good….the bait and switch of the wine left a bad taste in our mouth. Very disappointed that the owner/manager never came over to appologize.

Hi Stephen, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We’re truly sorry that this situation left you feeling disappointed—it was absolutely not our intention, and I’d like to take a moment to clarify what happened. This was an honest human mistake, not a bait-and-switch. It sounds like there was a mix-up at the bar when your wife ordered her second glass of wine, and the wrong Pinot Grigio was poured by accident. We completely understand how frustrating that must have been, and I sincerely apologize that it wasn’t handled better in the moment. Our team should have been more proactive in acknowledging the mistake and rectifying it immediately. It was never our intention to mislead you, and we deeply regret that we didn’t address it with you personally at the time. We truly appreciate that you enjoyed the food, and we would love the chance to welcome you back for a better experience. Please feel free to reach out directly if you’d like to discuss this further—I’d be happy to make things right.

Got this restaurant recommended, booked in advance, went here for my birthday and I think this is one of the best restaurants in Hobart and in Tasmania!!! Service was on top, waiters/waitresses highly attentive, topped up water etc. We felt well looked after and even though it was so crowded it just didn't feel like that loud and noisy. Beautiful soft light, nice vibe, big meals - which made us think it was a great value. Meals well cooked, everything was perfect! Money well spent!

A Taste of Greece Down Under Urban Greek Hobart brings a slice of Greece to Tasmania with its vibrant flavors and welcoming ambiance. Located in the heart of Hobart, this restaurant offers an authentic Greek dining experience that's sure to delight. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with the inviting aroma of grilled meats and Mediterranean spices. The décor is simple yet charming, with whitewashed walls adorned with traditional Greek artwork and accents. Indulge in the flavorful Cretan Vitello Tonato paired with a refreshing glass of Ouzo, or savor the classic Moussaka for a taste of tradition. Don't miss the sweet finale with Ekmek Kataifi, a decadent Greek dessert. With its charming decor and attentive service, Urban Greek Hobart promises a memorable culinary journey through Greece with a delightful Cretan twist. Thank you 😊

i wrote a review, 1 day ago, and described it as a overpriced establishment, with very poor quality greek cuisine. drinks were extremely over priced. the owners seem to reply with the same response to who give a negative. review. because if you could fix the issues from every negative review which are many, how come they the negatives of your buisness are still there for me too see and experience 1 day ago. as a owner / manager i would ask for the negative reviews phone number and have a very intimate discussion concerning all these negative comments. you wont change urban greek as you are more than happy to serve poor quality food at extremely high prices so you can self indulge yourself, but beware buisnesses close down quickly when you screw people of there hard earnt dollar. ps i believe as a chef of 35 years my critisimn is well deserved. on you as a establish.ent urban vreek. nice venue friendly staff. but i can only give you one star. wake up and smell the roses mr owner as the roses are starting to smell.

The Greek food at this place was disappointing .Serving COLD and probably old leftover lemon potatoes as a part of the dish was poor and unsatisfying. The lamb, chicken wrapped in a pitta bread was abit deceiving. Could not make out what meat was being plated up. Service was nice, waitress helpful. Clean and quick service. Prices are too high and food precooked and heated up - don't really hit the mark for the price. If you know your Greek food well- you will not be impressed with the standard here. Freshly cooked Greek food doesn't compare to the fare here. For those who don't know any better - it might be OK.

Exceptional food and service. Hobart has so many great restaurants and it can be hard to choose - but we didn’t regret our decision to go to Urban Greek. Delicious and plentiful meals and we really appreciated the efforts made by the chef and waitress for one of our family members with dietary requirements ( gluten free and no onion). We definitely look forward to a return visit when next in Hobart.

I can 2 years ago and the food was fantastic(I came from Brisbane, Qld). I brought my sister and her husband this time. The food was tastless, to much oil, some of the meat was so over cooked that I could not chew it, lamb cutlets were tastless. We had the mixed grill for 2.

Service and food excellent. We ordered the standard banquet and advised the waitress that my dining companion had a capsicum allergy. Waitress reappeared and advised that many dishes in that banquet had capsicum 'contact'. Chef appeared and discussed options with companion. Companion opted to go with it and suffer a bit afterwards. Dishes were (without us knowing beforehand) tailored - myself and companion received in some cases different foods - to minimise allergy effects. This was service well above and beyond, and the food was excellent as well. Would eat there again in a heartbeat, and could not recommend more highly.

If you're looking for an authentic Greek dining experience, look no further than this wonderful restaurant. From the moment you step inside, you'll be transported to the heart of Greece with the warm and inviting ambiance and the welcoming staff. The menu is filled with a wide variety of delicious Greek dishes that are sure to satisfy any palate. From the classic charcoal lamb to the mouth-watering moussaka, every dish is prepared with care and attention to detail. The ingredients are fresh and flavorful, and you can taste the quality in every bite. The standout dish for me was the charcoaled octopus. It was cooked to perfection with a delightful smoky flavor, and the accompanying lemon and herb dressing added just the right amount of zing. Another highlight was the saganaki, a deliciously gooey fried cheese that was the perfect appetizer to share. The service was top-notch, with attentive and knowledgeable staff who were happy to make recommendations and answer any questions we had. The atmosphere was cozy and intimate, making it the perfect spot for a romantic dinner or a night out with friends. Overall, this Greek restaurant is a gem. With delicious food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere, it's the perfect spot to indulge in the flavors of Greece. Highly recommended!

I paid $47 for a 10-ounce Cider and a 'deconstructed' Souvlaki that was basically lamb, potato, and bit of bread. Got a clear kick-out message from the waiter at 7:55pm for our 6pm-8pm 'sitting'. For a restaurant that effectively charges a 'booking guarantee amount' of $75, I was expecting much better. Are internet bots/intel writing their reviews? The names of the reviewers look suss, too. If you feel like being robbed, dine at Urban Greek. Might as well have gone to Mykonos in Sandy Bay for the result. I won't be surprised if this review mysteriously disappears either.....

Although, we understand that our cuisine and prices are not for everyone we do our best to keep everyone happy with our Greek flavours. Also, as for the booking guarantee, the amount is not effectively charged something that would be clarified when the terms and conditions are read before making the booking. We are really sorry to hear that your experience was not what you expected and we didn't offer you what a lot of our satisfied costumers have had. Hopefully we can make your night memorable next time if given the chance. Thank you again for your understanding and for choosing to dine at our restaurant.

Awful! Urban Greek is not what it used to be since changing ownership. Ordered takeaway and this is what we got. A souvlaki that was pretty bland with the souvlaki bag covered with congealed lard. Chips were smothered in oil yet they were crunchy, hollow and dry to the point of being able to crumble them in your hand. Chips were meant to come with cheese and oregano, seriously skimped on the cheese. Oil from the chips left the bag completely saturated whilst also saturating the bag our takeaway order was in. Save your money and get a real souvlaki from Mezethes Greek Taverna!
