El Greko Greek Taverna

Perfectly cooked meat! With so many flavours in the enteee of mussels. The cocktails we’re absolutely beautiful, mixed so well. The oasis colada being our favourite and the beers were so light. To top it off the customer service was so welcoming and the owners and main chef were decent genuine people.

Thumbs down! We have been to this restaurant before and was fantastic but now after doing some digging have heard change of owners is the cause of the downfall. The memory of authentic Greek cuisine drew me in, but the food fell far short of expectations. The chicken skewers, priced at $36, was a huge disappointment as we received 2 skewers. The chicken was undercooked and a small portion. The tzatziki and taramasalata dips were equally underwhelming, arriving watery and tasteless, as if they’d been diluted to stretch them further. The pita bread served alongside was soft and doughy, far from the warm, grilled texture that could have salvaged the starter. It felt like a lack of care in the kitchen. While the ambiance had potential with its Mediterranean decor and soft music, it couldn’t make up for the food’s shortcomings. The service was polite but slow, and it didn’t help that the prices felt unjustified for the quality. Even the Greek salad was cut in large chunks and just put on the plate. Thumbs down!

We were so looking forward to Greek food, tantalizing lamb and chicken. We were disappointed. Firstly, we were seated next to a god awful loud group, that ruined the atmosphere. Good wait staff would have recognised this and offer to move us. We literally sat down, were given the menu and were asked what would like to drink. Hadn’t even looked at the menu. The waitress came back 2 minutes later and asked again, on the 3rd occasion we ordered drinks. Then the pressure was on to order a meal. The food was a let down ☹️ The saganaki was like cardboard, lacking flavour. Was it from a supermarket? Watermelon and feta salad tasted ok but was thrown together in a bowl. The stithos spanaki was bland, the cream sauce had no flavour. We didn’t stay for dessert- way too noisy, instead of a special night out - it was disappointing.

Came here for lunch today and was really impressed. The service was quick and friendly, the food was tasty, and the portion sizes were generous—perfect for sharing. Would definitely come back again! P.S. Try the lamb chops (Paithakia) - they are to die for 😋

Great atmosphere, beautiful good sized meals, staff were friendly and good service maybe just a bit quick as we were not in a rush but they gave us time when we asked. The Bakalava was great so big I took some back to the hotel. Will come again Thanks

Had a meal here with my mum and it was just what we both felt like. Great portion of meat, well seasoned and veggies that filled us right up! Not to mention how lovely the staff were fitting us in on such a busy night. Our male waiter was attentive and checked in on us to make sure it was all okay. Food was yum!

We had fantastic food prepared by chef Brodie and the service was second to none. Very pleased with our celebration night choice.

We absolutely loved El Greko. The outdoor terrace dining is the perfect setting combined with exceptional friendly service and incredible food. The French Martini cocktail was a great start followed by the authentic Greek dishes. We had the calamari which was so tender, the lamb skewers were cooked perfectly and a generous serving of chargrilled prawns. We finished off with Galaktoboureko (custard baked filo) for dessert and it was sensational. The owners Chef James and Lisa are so hospitable and friendly. All the staff are like one big family. We loved it!
