Brika

Saturday late lunch today was an ambient escape with so many exquisite food options. The presentation of every dish just superb, and the subtle balance of tastes, so delicious. Friendly attentive service, I think we unwittingly ordered dessert way after kitchen close, but not a complaint - Thank you Brika, for making today a super rejuvenating time with family.

What a disappointing experience. I genuinely felt second-hand embarrassment for the owners of this place. 1. Service Delays: It took half an hour just for the staff to take our orders. 2. Misleading Portion Sizes: We were told the portions were “enormous,” as you’d expect from a Greek restaurant. However, the reality was the complete opposite—each dish was bite-sized. We were literally rationing the food to one bite per person. 3. Ridiculous Ordering Policy: After spending $200 on food and still feeling hungry, I went to the counter to order six gyros. To my surprise, the staff refused to serve me, stating that the gyros restaurant was “separate” and their policy didn’t allow mixing the meals. This was absurd. They could have easily upsold us from $200 to $320. Even if gyros were priced at $30 each on the sit-down menu, I would have ordered them. What a missed opportunity. 4. Poor Wine Quality: The red wine was awful—definitely not worth the price. 5. Embarrassing Food Presentation: At one point, the waiter dropped three carrots from our meal. Ten minutes later, he returned with a single shriveled carrot on a plate. It was laughable. He could have at least added some salad or brought a few extra carrots to make up for it. Dividing that sad carrot between six of us became a running joke at the table. 6. Reputation Among Locals: When I shared this experience with my Greek friends, they explained that the owners don’t care about this restaurant as they’re too busy making money elsewhere. This neglect is obvious in the management and service. Brika has so much potential, but it’s being wasted. Poor management and a lack of attention to detail are holding it back. Serious changes need to be made to turn this place around.

My family and I have been dying to come to Brika forever now, with no luck getting in when just turning up. Well not yesterday! We finally had the opportunity to give this place a go and it was worth the wait. The warmed pita with hummus to accompany was the perfect starter and then perfectly cooked lamb and chicken, with fries covered in feta, what more could you ask for. But wait, it gets better! Not only was the food amazing, the staff were gorgeous and friendly too. If you like/love Greek food, this place is a must try in Perth.

Look, we love and trust this place for a delicious dining experience. Great food, great service and yummy wine! We came here to eat before a flight and the food came out swiftly and was soooo yum. 10/10 would eat here again!

This place is not worth the price. 11 dollars for a dip that comes in the tiniest bowl, without even a bit of pita bread (in all the restaurants I've been the pita comes with the dip) is insane. We also ordered the grilled octopus, in one plate they put two tentacles and in the other just one tentacle. How can you put half of the quantity in the other plate for the same price? Furthermore waiters kept coming to our table asking if we wanted to order more food and it was really stressful. For sure a place where we won't go back.

It was our first time at the restaurant and we arrived at the time we booked, around 8pm. We arrived and were very well attended to by a amazing brazilian man, Fábio, who told us that the last order could be made until 8:30pm as that is when the kitchen closes. Approximately 5 minutes passed and we were surprised by an Asian waitress who said that the kitchen would close at that time and that we needed to place our orders right away. Since we didn't have time to look at the menu, we just ordered an appetizer, ate it and went to eat somewhere else.

Best traditional Greek food we've found in Perth. My family is Greek and I'm from Melbourne where Greek food is amazing, so our standards of what traditional Greek food should be, is very high. Brika has by far the best traditional food in WA. My wife and I ate until we couldn't eat anymore, and spent $131 (including a drink) which is very reasonable for a quality meal. I would definitely recommend.

Celebrated my birthday here last night and was glad I did! Food was delicious and service was amazing! Thank you to Tara in particular who was exceptional, she was so friendly and kind and took the time to explain all menu items and made some excellent recommendations. The dessert cigars in particular were incredible. Thanks Tara and Brika!

This was our third visit to Brika, the first two years ago was amazing, the second a year ago was a little disappointing, but we thought it could be a different cook and we looked at the recent reviews again before we booked a third time. And they were mostly good. The atmosphere and decor is beautiful and very Greek. The staff are attentive, friendly and professional... very very good. We were seated quickly, presented table water and drinks orders taken. Staff checked on us during the meal nd evening. We ordered five dishes and a share desert. We were happy with two of them. The lamb is delicious and a good sized serving, moist and flavoursome. The cigar pastry and custard desert was diving and enough for four people to share after a meal. The cooked twice beef that we ordered medium rare came out burnt and hard and dry. Not just well done... it was like it took a little drive through the fires of hell on its way to the table. Almost inedible..... we all put a piece in our plate so ate it but left the rest on the plate and let the staff know. They were very good and followed up and told us we would not be charged for it and also gave us all a shot of ouzo. Very good follow up and service. The squid was two very small baby squid, not a decent serve for tapas. Had they let us know, as a table of four, that it was so small, we would have ordered two servings. The crispy pork belly was nice and juicy and a good sized serving, but there was no crisp in the skin. It was rubbery and chewy and got caught in your teeth like rubber. The potato's gratis was also disappointing, just chips with a bit of fetta crumbled over it. Overall very disappointing food.... We will not return.

Tasty food real hearty made with love Great for parking Service impeccable A place I will go back to for sure Family feels

I belong to a dinner group, we are a group of 8 people that went to the Brika. The waitress remembered our order without writing it down, we were impressed as we ordered food and drinks. 4 people in our group have individual food and they didn't share. As for the other 4 people inclusive of me, this is what we ordered as below: Brika sourdough southern Peloponnese EVOO Saganaki kefalograviera pan-fried cheese, honey ouzo, oregano, lemon Mussels kleftiko white wine, rosemary, leek, heirloom tomatoes Cypriot salad freekeh, pulses, currants, coriander, beetroot chip Slow roasted lamb lemon, tzatziki, thyme BBQ Fremantle octopus roast chat potato, fried capers, thyme, sundried tomato Kataifi ekmek custard, lavender syrup, strawberries, pasteli crumb, pistachio Brika is good for groups of people who would like to try different food and share. It's the healthy type of food that I preferred. I will return to try other items on the menu.

Very good quality food. Nice variety of vegetarian, salads, octopus or meat. It worked well to share all the plates.

I really like the food here but the experience can be very up and down with food and service. I had a lovely dinner here but it was quite expensive for what ended up being quite small plates. Though the food was very tasty and the meats were good. The service is very friendly but it gets so bust at dinner you can't hear a bloody thing and it's sometimes hard to get their attention. They can also be a bit pushy and encourage you to over order. I had a nice lunch here on a Friday with a $10 yiros which was lovely - I ordered the lamb/chicken mix, but it was tiny. The salads are quite nice too. I guess I'm just a bit over this share plate obsession where you end up paying way too much to leave hungry, but in general the food here is very good if you can afford it.

Before you disagree with my review, I have to say that Brika has a lot of positives but none of it has to do with my experience of its food. Having had delicious Greek food in the past - lovely pita breads, dips, and eggplant dishes, I had high expectations from Brika - especially due to the Greek dishes in the menu like spanakopita and saganaki. A group of 20 of us were seated across three tables. The staff were lovely with providing us our menus quickly, filling up our glasses with iced water, and taking our drink orders speedily. Due to being a large group and wanting to try multiple things, the waitress was really good at taking our orders and making sure that each of us got to try everything (i.e. there was enough of everything for everyone). She also ensured that the vegetarian in our group had enough options. And unlike many restaurants, Brika has a lot of vegetarian options. We ordered the following: 1) zucchini fritters - zucchini and melted cheese coated in breadcrumbs - delicious and my favourite dish of the night. 2) spanakopita - a Greek version of a spring roll with spinach and cheese in a filo pastry. Also delicious but hey its just a spinach and cheese roll deep fried. How can it not be delicious. 3) Pork belly in ouzo sauce - My second favourite dish. Crispy melt in the mouth pork coated in aniseed flavoured sauce. Yum. 4) Chargrilled calamari - You could taste the chargrilled flavour. yummo. Third favourite dish of the night. 5) Beetroot salad with pomegranate seeds and haloumi - it's a beetroot salad. Can't go wrong with a salad. No dressing. Didn't really see/taste the charred spring onion. 6) cypriot salad contained freekah, lentils, currants and nuts - tasted meh. 7) Meatballs with cinammon, tomato, cumin - Just tasted like plain meatballs. Heaps better than those from Ikea but again just meh. 8) Swordfish skewers with chargrilled peppers, onion and hummus - The hummus was nice but the swordfish was dry and tasteless. 9) Slow cooked lamb - I was pretty surprised that the slow cooked lamb was tough, dry, and the worst dish of the night. 10) chicken - tender chicken but lacked flavour Desserts were overpoweringly sweet so much so that I feel like I got instant diabeetus from eating their desserts. I had the following: 11) Greek doughnuts with honey and walnuts - they were glazed (more like quadruple glazed) with honey/sugar and only a bite made you want to run a marathon because you know you had overdone the sugar. 12) Baklava - Ok you know how most baklava from lebanese sweet shops have a thick layer of sugar on top because the baklava has been sitting outside for so long. Well, this one wasn't like that at all. It was the best tasting baklava I've ever had, it was fresh, the nuts were deliciously nutty and the baklava was bursting of flavour. Ooh and it arrived with the most delicious walnuts halva ice cream. I could have had an entire tub of it. 13) Vanilla custard cream cake with pistachio syrup - This dessert was definitely required to balance out the overpoweringly sweet doughnuts and baklava. However, it had a bottom of layer of extensively sweet filo that had been finely grated, deep fried, and soaked in sugar. Overall, I recommend that when visiting Brika, opt for multiple entrees rather than getting a main. The mains lacked marination, spice, and oomph (you know that warm feeling in your stomach and heart after an amazing meal - especially after some good hearty lamb). Surely, Greek food can't all be about deep frying and cheese. I regret not trying the pita bread and the dips, but hey there is always next time. Overall, after trying all of the above and sharing it amongst 8 people, the bill came to about 38 dollars each. Pretty great value for so much food and all of us definitely felt full after. :) I have to commend the waitstaff for bringing out our food quickly, being patient and extremely helpful, but the food didn't live up to its hype. Sorry Brika.

This is the first greek restaurant which I have tried in Australia, food was not great but it was good (slow cooked lamb), I had a greek red wine (crete) which was an avarage quality wine but if you ever go there you have to try the Ouzo, I had a barbagianni black and that was great and was the best part of my dinner. Prices are reasonable and staff were kind and friendly.

I'm a huge fan! It's one of those restaurants that you could go back again and again and again. Fav dishes: slow cooked lamb (sooooooooo tender) and grilled octopus. Pikilia tray is perfect for when you are waiting for the dishes.

Sadly after daydreaming about Greek food for days Brika was unable to deliver. The service was very scattered. It's obvious that they are still finding their feet as there didn't seem to be a strict order of service in place. I could have overlooked this had the food lived up to my big fat Greek dreams, but sadly it didn't. The best thing we ate was the fresh pita, hot and slightly smokey from the grill. But sadly both the octopus and the saganaki were overcooked and we left portions of both on the plate. At one point some lamb was put in front of us and it looked rather nice, though we had to tell them we didn't order it and it was whisked away. Instead our under-seasoned beetroot salad was put down and we ate it because, well, vegetables mean you get dessert, rather than because it being delicious. We had been told to get the doughnuts and they sure did sound delicious, but what came out instead were crunchy deep fried sugar lumps without the smallest hint of airy dough inside. *Sigh* I do hope Brika was just having an off night, because this could really be a great neighbourhood restaurant to enjoy with a handful of friends on a warm night. The seats by the window were excellent.

The evening didn't start of well but it did end on a good note. Even though we made a reservation, our table was not set and the waitress had to drag a spare chair from somewhere else to seat us next to the toilets. There was a lovely 2 seater table more inside the restaurant and when I asked if we could sit there, the response was "no, that's been reserved". I guess our booking was not as important as that one. Nevertheless we sat down and ordered. Sadly my cocktail didn't arrive until after the first course was eaten but that and the whole table incident is all I have to complain about. The food was gorgeous. Authentic Greek flavours, served quickly and well presented. Everything was just so flavourful! The vibe of the restaurant was great. Really buzzing on a Wednesday evening. And we met a fantastic gentleman (owner I think) who kept checking in on us, making us feel welcomed etc. Can highly recommend the lamb dish, zucchini fritters and beet root salad....but beware - as with all sharing type meals the costs of small individual items can add up very quickly. Our night out cost $120 for 2 people. It was worth it though. I don't know how they get such flavour into their meals, but they do.

I've slipped into Brika a couple of times now and I'd be sincerely nit-picking if I were to say anything bad about it. For starters, I find the alcohol selection vast and rather affordable, especially considering the fact that we're in Northbridge; I'd give the cocktails a miss though, the wine is far more suitable for their exciting and authentic meze menu. Do not leave without trying the Spanakopita (3 for $14.00) or either one of the lamb dishes. Slow cooked Lamb ($24.00) or Lamb Chops ($17.00) - no real difference except of course the size and the texture. Hurray, caramelised lamb fat for all! Other notable options are the Cypriot Salad with Freekah, Lentils, Currents and Nuts ($12.00) and the Saganaki - Kefalograviera, Pan Fried ($12.00) I love perching on the window sill area too - which most people hate at restaurants but I quite enjoy being able to watch everyone come and go, whilst enjoying the fresh Autumn breeze. Another plus point is the fact that it's a rather central place to get a decent feed past 2PM and before 5PM. Oh yeah, and squeeze that cheek of lemon provided on everything. Hurray for useful garnishes!

A friend who is a massive fan of Brika, asked that I go back and give them another try. She believed the lamb dishes and spanakopita are the best items on the menu and I didn't try any of them on my last visit. We ordered the slow cooked lamb and the spanakopita. Both were delicious. I'm updating my review because of how tasty these two dishes were, but there was still so much last time that missed the mark, which is why the review is still only 3 stars.

Visited Brika on Friday the 27th of February for dinner with my father and two of his friends, before going to a concert I got him tickets for at Christmas. I love a wide variety of cuisines, so was looking forward to trying what was on offer. To start, we shared pita bread, hummus, tzatziki, saganaki (fried cheese), and sardines with crusty bread. It was all excellent, particularly the saganaki and tzatziki. Drinks were also served promptly, and were nice and cold. We then had our mains, again we shared a number of dishes. This time, we had beetroot salad (well done, particularly from someone who's not the biggest fan of beetroot), suko salad (a blend of rocket, orange, figs, fennel and onion crisps), lamb, pork belly (nice crispy crackling), calamari, and barramundi (which I didn't get to sample unfortunately). Kudos to the pork belly in particular, and everything was well cooked and prepared. A bit pricey, but that's what you expect from a Greek tapas place, serving up quality food, in inner Perth, and I'd definitely come back! Will update if I have any dishes I didn't before, particularly if I have dessert here.

Brika has always been an institution for its Greek meze style dishes and is Perth's first authentic meze bar. What is meze? A meze comprises of little plates to be shared and enjoyed among groups, family or friends to complement drinks and of course, good conversations and laughters. One step into Brika and you are automatically transported to Greece surrounded by Greek rustic decor along with Greek music in the background. I have always wanted to try Brika but after having a look on the menu, I just could not decide which dishes to get. Thanks to our lovely waitress for helping us make our decisions on what to order. We started off with some warmed pita bread ($4) along with a hummus dip with chickpea tahini ($6). The pita bread was soft and fluffy complementing well with the smooth and nutty textures of the hummus. We also had some Fremantle sardines with charred bread ($12) which was very fresh and delicate in flavour. Next up, we had the spanakopita ($12) filled with spinach, leek and 3 cheese poura. These cigars of spanakopita were crunchy on the outside and inside, was oozing full of cheesiness along with tasty spinach and leek fillings. We also ordered calamari with charred lemon zest herbs ($18) and octopus with charred oregano lemon ($19). Both plates of seafood were fresh in flavour and the lemon added a zesty touch of acidity to the calamari and octopus. Perfect together with mini Ouzo. The Pantzarosalata which consists of roasted beetroot, haloumi, candied walnut and whipped feta was a lovely and well balanced dish. I loved how the flavours of the beetroot marries well with the sweetness of the candied walnut, crisp haloumi and smooth whipped feta. Not long after, our meat plates arrived. The 1/4 chicken maryland souvla rotisserie was moist and juicy and had a slight smoky flavour. However, the Goat Keftedes ($18) with beetroot yoghurt was the star. It was deliciously moist in texture and flavoursome. Recently , Brika opened Filos and Yiros, offering Greek street food at their takeaway window. In addition to our Meze shared plates, we shared a lamb and chicken yiros ($11). I loved the soft fluffy pita on the outside complementing well with the tenderness of the lamb and chicken along with crunchy chips and creamy tzatziki. To finish our epic Greek meze feast, we had some Greek sweets which were the Galaktoboureko ($12) and Loukoumades ($10). The Galaktoboureka is a Greek semolina custard filo pie. It was soft and smooth in texture topped with a fluffy filo pastry. We enjoyed the Loukoumades which were greek donuts drizzled with honey and crushed walnuts. The Loukoumades were crispy on the outside with a soft dough texture when you bite into it. Simply melt in your mouth with a drizzle of honey. We treated ourselves to some Greek Coffee along with our Greek sweets. We really enjoyed Brika and had a great Greek experience from the delicious food, to the friendly service and the ambience. Now I know why Brika is an institution for Greek food in Perth. I am already looking forward to my next visit to Brika to try the other dishes and also the Baklava. Highly recommended and perfect for all occasions whether it is a date night or a catch up with friends and family.

Everything about this place is beautiful and makes you feel like you're on holidays in the Greek Islands!! The service straight up was great and friendly and I love a waiter that suggests wine for you based on what you like (and what I got was delish!) We took my in laws here and it was a perfect environment, beautiful decor, lovely people and music and an extensive tapas menu. We ordered a little bit of everything and all of it was fresh and amazing. We didn't wait long for food either which is always nice and nothing was overly expensive. I suggest taking a big group here, order everything off the menu and drink copious amounts of wine - which is easy to do because they serve it in the traditional small glasses so you can't keep track of how much you've had! I'll definitely be back.

My daughters took the family out for lunch to Brika today and even before reaching the restaurant the smell was awesome. We had a great variety of dishes from Lamb, Octopus, Beef Brisket, Sardines & Rabbit & fish of the day which was succulent grilled snapper covered with a crumbed spice... each dish was beautifully presented and packed its unique flavor of spices. Been in Perth 4 years now and this was the first time.... but will definitely not be the last... its not the cheapest but if your like me and dont mind paying for good food then you'll love it

The meat is tender. My favourite wine was the Natios - it's a must if your love red. I loved the octopus, lamb and chicken. A carnivores delight.

The Juice Was Definitely Worth The Squeeze!! We have waited a very long time for Brika to open its doors and we were certainly not disappointed. We were greeted warmly upon entering and seated on stools facing weld square park on another great Perth early evening. service was courteous and efficient, we ordered the octopus and slow cooked lamb chops with the house marinade, with pita bread to get things underway, plus a bean salad to even things out. The shared food idea that sets Greek food apart is held in high regard, And Brika delivers upon their ancestors traditions wonderfully. The food arrived quickly, The Octopus was fantastic, with that taste of the sea lingering behind the other flavors. The slow cooked lamb chops with their own house marinade was superb, cooked to perfection, every morsel a delight. The pita bread and bean salad were great, balanced the two mains really well. Finished the meal off with Baklava, I had never had this before, but the thought of pastry, walnuts and honey plus pistachio ice cream had my taste buds screaming urgent messages to my brain!. Wonderfully scrumptious, divine, superb :) Overall we found Brika to be a warm, hospitable, unpretentious establishment. The prices were very reasonable, around $25.00-$30.00 per head. Great location, plenty of parking in the immediate vicinity, the only downside we found was that they don't do Greek Pancakes with honey at present :( But their coming soon! :)

Had only decided to come to Brika as a last minute decision purely out of boredom (and thirst) - no regrets what-so-ever! The place was busy upon arrival, however we managed to get a seat and were greeted and served promptly. The food was delicious and came out fairly fast, the range in beer was great - my favourite being "Vergina", because c'mon, the name is brill haha. We ordered pita with tzatziki & hommus, slow cooked lamb and beetroot salad to share and it just went perfect with our drinks and banter about escaping Perth for a while! I would definitely come back, not just for the great service, good location and delicious food - but my oh my was the owner a looker himself. wow. 9/10 for first sitting at Brika, so good for a place that has only just been open for a few months too!

After hearing so many wonderful things about Brika, I'm afraid to say our group was a little underwhelmed. While the spanakopita was stand-out good, the slow cooked lamb was very tasty and the baklava delicious, the lamb cutlets, calamari and keftedes were all disappointing and the beetroot salad, kolokithakia and loukoumades were just OK. Service was friendly and efficient and they were happy to let us linger over our food and conversation despite it being busy and getting late. This, combined with all the good things I've heard from others, will see me head back to try some of the other menu items.

Fab spot for breakfast on the weekends. You really feel like you are in the Med with their cute furniture, Greek music and overhanging vines. Breakfast is a veritable feast and it took me ages to choose just one dish from the awesome menu but I settled on the zucchini fritters which were so yummy. We shared loukamades after breakfast and they were good although could have been cooked a bit longer as they were on the pale side compared to my yiayias :) The breakfast Bellini was so refreshing too. We'll be back!

Maitre'd is one of the best, professional, knowledgable, helpful, friendly but not one to hover. Meals were great, all designed to share although I'd orobably stagger the ordering next time as they all came out at once SAGANAKI (Greek cheese like haloumi) Delightful! SPANOKOPITA - spinach and cheese in puff pastry cigars) light and tasty LAMB SHOULDER slow cooked, excellent on its own with in house marinade even better with the beetroot salad. Overall a very satisfying and pleasant dining experience.

2016: I've come here again and had the cheesecake and lamb shoulder. Absolute top quality and such a delicious meal!! Nov 05, 2014 POSITIVE I was really excited to come here after so many raving reviews from friends. The Barista was really friendly and made a great coffee. The layout of the place is fantastic, it's clean and looks awesome. However, my spanakopita was disappointing. It was not authentic greek and was so so so salty! I will give it another chance but hopefully it's a little better next time.

Having heard wonderful things about this place, I was pleased when my girls agreed to meet here for a catch-up. The place immediately met my expectations with its casual friendly service, simple menu and the option of outdoor heated seating. The four of us ordered a number of dishes to share. Some of the dishes were catered for 3 people, but the waitress kindly offered to ensure an extra serve was added without any extra cost- a lovely and unexpected gesture! The dishes were all quite tasty, but none were particularly astounding. All was going particularly well until we ordered some desserts and coffee. At this moment, a young man arrived at the venue and the waitress eagerly conversed with him as she cleared our table. He was then seated at a table near us. Our desserts were served promptly but as we were close to finishing them, we realised our coffees were yet to arrive. Eventually, our 3 Greek coffees were served on two separate occasions. The coffee was highly enjoyable with a good balance of strength and sweetness. My friend waited patiently for her frappe, noting that the gentleman seated near us (who we're pretty sure didn't even order a frappe and who nonetheless placed his order after us) had received a frappe served by someone who appeared to be the business owner. We then watched on as another table also received a frappe. We sent the waitress a reminder and eventually received a frappe half an hour after putting the order through. The frappe was pleasantly light and creamy, yet the arduous wait coupled with the obvious customer favouritism left a sour taste in our mouths. One star deducted for the slightly steep prices (relative to taste and portion size) and for the unfortunate change in the quality of service. Definitely eager to return for coffee and nougat though.

I don't easily rate 5, but this is an outstanding Greek restaurant. Everything on the menu is excellent, in top of my list must be the Grilled Octopus, slow cooked lamb and the pork belly. Make sure to order some of the Greek beers.

Great greek restaurant that's tucked away from the main drags of Northbridge. Quite a popular dining spot so bookings would be recommended. The plates are great for sharing, but multiple portions maybe required if you have a bigger party. Favourties include the lamb and octopus.

My friend and I stopped here for a coffee after leaving the glory game, trying to get into The Brisbane (the line to get in was ridiculous), tried to get a coffee at McDonald's and gave up as they had one staff member serving all 12000 hungry glory fans. We semi stumbled across Brika. They were still busy at 8.30/9 but happily organized us 2 stools along the outside bar. And poured us 2 cappuccinos $4 each The cups are the smaller type. But the barista behind the bar we soon found out is very passionate about his coffee making. And he makes a great cup of Fiore coffee. So for atmosphere, staff and coffee...this place is ace!

Perhaps it was the perfect weather or great atmosphere created from a restaurant packed with happy dinners, or the delicious food, or perhaps the wine; but our first visit to Brika was fantastic. So couples for the most part either must sit in the window bench seats or the long outdoor tables; we chose the windows and it really works; the staff mostly engage from the outside so you are not forced to cram your neck around and you get to watch the world go by outside; people with long legs will want the outside benched though! The food was almost universally great, there were a couple of dishes not quite to my taste but considering how well everything was executed I estimate this is a personal taste thing and there was more than enough other yummy food.

I'm a big fan of most European dishes but i have to say that when it comes to Greek cooking, I treat it with a huge amount of suspicion. I suppose it's like a man dressing up in woman's clothing: he could be nice or he could be absolutely vile. There is very little in between. Brika is really well located opposite a green park (that you rarely find in Greece... anywhere) and it does have a kind-of-taverna feel about it with the slated wooden shutters for decor, giant open bay windows that you can straddle as eating customers (I wanted to sit there!), a modern take on the Santorini-type floor and I have to say a giant mural in the main indoor dining area that I didn't like. It looked like grotto graffiti. Or an advert for ISIS! But I did hark back to my late teens for a moment of deja vu and the god-knows-how many tequila slammers I once did in god-knows-how many bars on the island of Ios. That was until I was offered a Little Creatures beer and then I.....like Toto.... returned back to "Oz" and my Perth sensibilities. The staff were amazing at Brika. Well done. From the front end management and bar staff, to the waiters and waitresses. I was impressed (including the kind gentleman that served our table and got my wife a wooly blanket because she was cold....which she would be in the Sahara Desert too!). We were a party of six friends, including four that cook for a living and one food photographer; all the trappings for an awful start to an over-opinionated meal. But it worked, especially as we were distracted by the young couple that shared our table. They were on their eighth date and according to the beautiful girl, he had not done enough wooing to get a kiss. OMG! After eight! (And I would like to add a brief footnote here that he ain't getting one tonight either!). We let one of our group of serious foodies order for all of us and a medley of rich pickings just rocked on out from that moment forth. Was it authentic? Nah. Not when you're sitting in Perth. Starting with the Meze, the Pita was warm and awesome, even if the Hummus and Tzatsiki fell slightly short of the goal and the portion size. One quick dip on the plate and presto....gone! I was longing to try the Taramasalata (mullet roe dip) which turned out to be interesting but not quite the kick in the taste buds that I wanted. Same with the Saganaki (kefalograviera pan fried cheese). But the charred oregano lemon octopus was a total winner (and we ordered more!). The lamb cutlets with shaved zucchini parsley ladolemono were okay which was disappointing because I love french lamb cutlets done right. To cap it all, we took the Baklava plunge....and hit concrete. This should have been a signature home run but ended up being bland. I found myself pondering the really good Baklava i recently bought at a Fremantle market stall and that was BAKLAVA! But I am prepared to give this place a 4 because it won on balance: ambience, fun, decor, people and yes, food. I do think Brika will continue to grow and I will be back again soon.

Great food wine and friendly, quick service. My favourites include the Sardines, Octopus, Calamari, saga Ali and the Spanakopita. The Slow cooked Lamb is a must with the Greek salad and the Pork Belly with the Ouzo Honey Glaze is fantastic. Just a lovely relaxed vibe.

Was previously a fan of Brika but had a very average experience tonight. Ordered $90 worth of food via Uber Eats, including 2 x serves of chicken @ $17 each and a serve of lamb at $26 and there was barely enough meat for 2 of us. Lamb was more fat than meat. Hummus and a few pieces of pita also overpriced at $11. Greek and cypriot salads were fine, but overall extremely dissapointing and will not be back.

RIPPED OFF!!! Myself and five other people attended Brika for dinner. The service was abysmal, with the prices charged definitely not being reflected in the service. After nearly 45 minutes we managed to get served and upon inquiring, the waitress advised our table of six, that "the oven & pans, salad, charcoal & wood dishes are LARGE MAIN COURSES that can be shared with 3 ADULTS". We were served just 2 tiger prawns for $22, a small overcooked baby calamari $22, Souvla chicken was a tasteless leg for $23, Spanakopita $16 as small as a saucer. No bread or olive oil. The three of us thought that they must be serving us separately, we were wrong. I spoke with the Manager, Hayley Savage and explained what the waitress had stated and so obviously she had made a mistake. Hayley stated "The waitress had misinformed our party, that the whole menu is meze which is a Greek tapas (no clear notice of this anywhere on the menu with only one area labelled 'Meze'). Hayley then went on to state "unfortunately there was nothing that she (Hayley) could do about it (there's that great service we expected given the prices being exorbitant) and it was time to pay the bill in full", which included a salad that arrived as we were leaving (we were given the excuse that it took a long time to prepare - "Arugula salad, grilled halloumi, strawberries, kalamata balsamic syrup, almond flakes" - yes it's a time consuming, intricate process); we sent it back. I explained that the waitress's information constituted "Misleading and deceptive representation" Australian Consumer Act 2010. Hayley wasn't interested in addressing this issue, stating that she wasn't a lawyer or even proffering an apology. Unfortunately, Hayley ignored this advice and instead insisted on us paying the bill, from which she deducted the salad, at our persistence. The six of us felt that the evening spent at the restaurant was a complete debacle.

We would like to have tried the food but after waiting 35minutes for our order to be taken- even our drink order we had had enough. The restaurant was not full but the service or lack of was really disorganised and untrained. The floor manager ( I assume- floated past us twice without registering that we were there- not close enough to grab her attention without yelling) spent more time chatting at the till with staff and clearing a few glasses than organising and controlling the flow of the restaurant. Would not consider trying again - the menu was not worth the wait.

Wow! Quickest meal service in Perth. The food didn't disappoint either. Greek tapas we had zucchini fritters, pork belly, mushrooms & lamb. The slow cooked lamb was amazing. Highly recommended!

This place is incredible when you are looking for a delicious Greek feast. We started with hummus and pita whilst deciding on our main dish orders and were very impressed by the grilled peach salad, scallops, lamb and pork belly. The only minor criticism was that the food came out incredibly quickly, however the bar didn't seem to be able to match this speed and a few times my partner waited some time for another drink. Overall it was a lovely dining experience and the food speaks for itself. Will definitely be back!

Went here a few days ago after trying them out at the Beaufort street festival! So I was really excited to try it, me and the girlfriend ordered the patatas which were really yummy, the loukaniko which wasn't bad just a tad salty, the cretan salad which was amazing( my girlfriend absolutely loved it) and the slow cooked lamb which was absolutely beautiful! The atmosphere was really nice, the service was great would definitely come again!the only downfall was the lemon lime bitters, it came with soda water and not lemonade! It's great for sharing and great prices!

I love Brika!!! Came here on Saturday night for my sisters birthday. There was a party of 12 of us and we had a great time. We sat outside & the atmosphere was amazing - it was warm and covered outside so there should be no problems sitting outside in winter. We had the $55 tasting menu and it was awesome!!! Especially the lamb .... Unbelievable!!! Great for big groups - highly recommended!!

Great Greek dinner with awesome service and friendly staff. Love their meals although the menu seems a little limited. Would be great to enjoy with a larger group of friends so that you can get to taste a few of their goodies without breaking the bank. Interesting cocktails, however I love their selection of beer. Must find more Stone and Wood Pale Ale from Byron Bay

Hi there fellow Yelpers. My date and I thought we would try out the Greek restaurant Brika on Thursday for dinner. I tried calling at noon to make a booking, but was told that they for booked for this night and then told to still come in because they have two tables reserved for walk ins. Great I said we'll be there at 6.00. Arrived promptly at 6.00 and the two walk in tables were busy so then they sat us at a reserved table that was booked for 7.15 Great we said and sat down and began to order. The menus came out but because of the low light that created ambiance I was unable to read the menu. So I honorably hand balled it to my date. With a keen eye my date quickly summed up the offerings and chose our meal which consisted of Saganaki, baked potato slices with tzatziki and another dip of which I have forgotten. We also had calamari, barramundi and lamb for mains. The potato slices were beautiful with the dips very moorish. Hard to stop dipping into the dips. The Saganaki was just lightly fried with a light oil over it and my taste buds were calling out for more. We ordered a traditional Greek red wine which came out in smallish glasses. Then with a blink of an eye the mains were in front of us. The Calamari was diviine and had a salty taste which I enjoyed and loved the crispiness of it also. The barramundi was served as three small rectangles with the skin salted and crisp. Yumo but could have had more. The lamb was a bit dry but I still went in for more. We finished off with some Greek donuts that were covered in honey. Scrumptious. Then alas it was time to go. Overall the service was prompt and friendly with good advice from the waitress. The meal was just beautiful and we found it hard to finish our meals and they were shared dishes. The venue had a great feel about it and I felt welcomed even as a walk in. I would recommend the Brika to fellow Yelpers,family and friends.

Wasn't too hungry so tried the pita, hummus and tzatziki, the portions were actually pricey was its size. the hummus tasted like something you can get from coles, the tzatziki can easily be made at home, and the pita was alright, the restaurant didn't wow me, the food wasn't that great.

Very poor restaurant as a whole and there are far better value and quality Greek restaurants in Perth. .When we arrived there was no one to greet us and we had to wander around to find someone. Food was only warm, white wine not cold and ghe servings were very small. Very very expensive for what you get

A beautiful Greek bar with fantastic food at a very reasonable price, great staff and awesome interior/decor. We had warmed pits, marinated olives, spanakopita, zucchini fritters, octopus and pork sausage. The octopus was chargrilled to perfection and was the best dish we sampled. For dessert the fried doughnuts coated in honey and nuts were just amazing!
