We've come here a couple of times and found the food delicious and very generously sized, and the service fast and friendly. Glad to have a local restaurant like this nearby

Amazingly cooked food and meat, theyre not light on the meat in their souvlakia which is so rare nowadays, a bit expensive but definitely tasty!

We came for a small birthday dinner on a weeknight and we're impressed with the quality and quantity of the food having never been previously. We had entrees along with a banquet platter and it was all delicious and very filling. The service was pleasant and late night after dinner coffee was greatly appreciated.

I savoured the large gyro lamb meal. Service was friendly and my order was served in five minutes. The portion was plenty and wrll done. Chips, bread all fresh. I highly recommend it. Will come back, hopefully, soon. Cheers, thank you.

We love our meat and love meat empire. Visitors love it and always ask where we go as they haven’t seen anything around like this. We always get the empire mixed grill for birthdays at home. Never an issue. Salads are good. Chips are decent size and meat platter is fantastic. Will always be back.

A very good restaurant. I recommend the meat platters but the souvlaki and burger options are also very nice. I have been here for both lunch and dinner, can be very popular so either get there early or ring and reserve a table. It is a small establishment, so seating is cosy inside. The outside seating is a little more spacious. The menu is easy to read online, so check it out and enjoy

Food was fine until we discovered a cockroach on our table - presumably had come from the salad. Spoke to staff - initially the person at the counter thought it was quite funny. Manager apologised and said there had never been such an issue before and that the cockroach could have come from anywhere. Paid near enough to $300 for a meal with bonus cockroach. Will not eat there again.

Lashings of food on a share plate for 2, actually satisfied 2 adults and a child with considerable left-overs. Tasty, fresh and really good value.

Incredible food and very good value… I’ve never left with an empty stomach! Also very good takeaway for having a picnic

Just loved.loved.the crumbed and grilled calamari, so tender, even my grandma would enjoy it with ease. The hot crispy hot chips with the traditional style chicken salt were yummy, the chicken and lamb were okay, but it was the thick cut, soft, deliciously seasoned calamari in the lightest of batter (well salted the way i like it) that was the star of the platter!
Thanks to the team for accommodating us and being so friendly so late at night. We'll be back again to try the desserts

I went here with my assistance dog to grab some lunch.
I saw a couple eating what looked delicious, so asked if I could order the same and made it a meal with a coke and chips.
I paid and asked if I “could also please get some water for her? (Mavis my assistance dog, who was standing flush against the solid counter in front of me) ”

The older Greek lady who was serving me said rather rudely “ you will need to sit outside with that dog”
I replied that she was my assistance dog and asked her to move into view so she could view her harness.
She replied “I don’t care you need to sit outside! ”
I replied again “she is an assistance dog, she is allowed inside”
To which she replied “ It doesn’t matter you need to go outside with the dog! ”
“She is allowed everywhere by law, the same as a guide dog! ”
“It doesn’t matter she needs to go outside, she is a dog and this is a restaurant and she is such a big dog! You HAVE to sit outside! ”

By this point I was on the verge of a panic attack, and could feel ppl starting to look and becoming extremely upset and embarrassed.

“I’m sorry federal law says we are allowed to sit inside if we like, she is a medical dog, it’s 40+ outside and I would like to sit inside please. It’s against the law to tell me to leave/sit outside! ”

She then sighed loudly rolled her eyes and told me “You can sit on the balcony there (pointing) ok”

To which I reluctantly agreed as I was on the verge of a meltdown and feeling very exposed.

This isn’t ok.
Owning a business you should be educated on the laws you must abide by- including assistance animals.

It’s not ok to make someone have to draw unwanted attention to myself and my medical condition, putting me in a situation where
I am on the verge of needing medical attention because of the situation I’d been placed.

Discrimination against a person because of their disability is NEVER ok or acceptable.
Ever.

I’ve attached a photo of Mavis my girl while I was eating.
As you can see she is very well behaved and most don’t even notice she is even there.
While the food was good, we ended up getting it put into a takeaway container 1/3 of the way through as I was fighting tears, and Mavis and I went down to the local park to finish my lunch.

Delicious food! I’m not usually a big souvlaki person but thought I’d try one in a combo and it was delicious! No grisly bits in the chicken and the combo of everything was super tasty! I’m super fussy about chips and these chips were next level, really good chicken salt and perfectly cooked The atmosphere was good and the food came out pretty quickly, fresh and hot. Would definitely visit again and recommended to friends.

Great food, amazing service, wonderful atmosphere

Tasty food, portion size is very generous, the place looks like an old tuckshop & theres a bit of a wait. But the wait is for quality food thats absolutely mouth watering, filling & fantastic.
Will be back; highly recommended

We were greeted by the friendly staff and proceeded to order a platter for 2. What a great meal! Everything was cooked perfectly and it wasn't greasy at all, really happy with our lunch. The facilities were really clean as well.

This place is amazing. Best food in the local area. Deliciously cooked meats, high quality breads and made with care. The flavours in the different gyros are fantastic. Can't wait to try the desserts next time.
