"Authentic greek food for sure! We used to come here years ago and it still tastes amazing! Moussaka, vine leaves and saganaki are the must have’s! We ordered the king prawns and roast leg of lamb and lamb was so tender! Desserts were kind of ok (cream custard and some sort of knafeh noodles dessert and wish had gone for baklava."
"Absolutely sensational in every way. We'd just flown in from Sydney in search of great Greek food and we left with full bellies. A wonderful warm welcome from Cathy and Ana who looked after us all night - helpful and attentive. My husband and I shared dips for 2, saganaki, a mixed grill and calamari - all delicious. My particular favourite was the calamari which was soft and perfectly cooked and served with a twist on coleslaw that I loved (currants, tang) - so yummy. The mixed grill was fantastic too with succulent meats. We'll be back next time we are in Melbs."
"Philhellene, a fantastic restaurant that I have visited on several occasions. Their traditional Greek cuisine is exceptional, and the quality of both food and service is consistently outstanding. I recently brought my aunt and mum to enjoy the delicious Greek cuisine, and they were thoroughly impressed with the experience. They haven't stopped raving about it ever since. Being a connoisseur of good food, I would highly recommend you to visit Philhellene. It is an excellent place to sample the best of Greek cuisine. Don't just take my word for it, go and experience it for yourself."
"Had the provincial set menu between 3 people and everything was amazing - friendly staff, great food, good atmosphere - had to have a good 10minute break between servings because there’s so much food. Take your time here!"
"Great Greek restaurant for a special occasion. The staff were very friendly and explained all the menu and food as it came to the table. Having been recommended this restaurant, we visited for a special occasion and were not disappointed. We got the banquet and the variety of the dishes was great. That Saganaki cheese was my favourite entree and definitely a highlight of the entire menu. All of the meat was tender and perfectly cooked. All the food was super high quality and well worth spending the little extra on. Highly recommend going here for a special occasion when you want a nice meal!"
