Super awesome Had the large Mixed platter spit roast with Mixed dips, Pita bread, Feta&olives. Scrumptious food. Lively place. And of course..... the ceiling was marvelously done up with stalactites moulded lighting Staff are friendly. Service is reasonably quick. But the wait is long. Overall a fantastic experience A restaurant you absolutely must visit in Melbourne
A true Melbourne institution. I hadn't been here for a few years but it was still just as good. Was there for an early dinner with work colleagues on a Thursday evening. We had booked, which was a good move as the place was packed. Nice vibe, great service, tasty authentic food. Several vegetarian and gluten free options available. Even the cheapest bottle of red was pleasant. Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options
Visited on a Thursday night, had a wait before were seated. Don't mind the wait, somehow feels ok, that food will be fresh and worth it. Ordered a large mix platter, large chips, hummus and a bread. Chicken was good but lamb just okay. Could have been better seasoned. Hummus was nice, pita was OK. Fries seemed to be from two separate batches, like half fresh and half re fried. Got to sit in a nook, so all in all not very pleased. Portions are good, two people eating couldn't finish it all. Staff were amazing..
One of the juiciest gyros you can fine in Melbourne, it's so soft and tasty!! The dips are also yummy to my taste, and pita bread was flesh, everything was satisfying. Price is very good for the quality of food you're getting. One of my favourite to keep coming back, except for waiting in line and finding parking in the city haha but we really enjoyed our meal
This was my second time coming to this restaurant years apart, and it was just as good as the first time I was here! This time I had the chicken giro souvlaki. Absolutely delicious. There’s usually a queue to get into this place, but for a good reason and worth the wait!.
Second time came to this restaurant. You always find a queue outside restaurant but it’s moving quite quick. We ordered Hot sausages, Mixed Giros and Athenian Souvlaki. Taste soooo good! a little big portion but good!
I came here to dine alone as I was recommended through a friend and I am very disappointed with my whole dine in experience. Food did not taste good at all, quite bland. Firstly I waited 45 minutes for my meal, this is quite long in my opinion for a main meal and vegetables. Secondly the table next to me ordered after me, yet their meals came first there were 2 patrons dining yet their food came before mine? In fact one of the patrons ordered the SAME dish as me.... Third issue - the lamb dish as I took my first bites was warm temperature, not hot or very warm.. I've eaten at a lot of restaurants and have not been served a "semi warm" dish in as long as I can remember.. Another issue, the menu stated feta cheese, I could not see any feta cheese on this Slow Cooked Lamb dish. I I wasn't even going to make an issue of it but the person asked me while I was paying how everything was, so yes I told this worker everything. The worker did not seem apologetic at all, no discount was offered, would not recommend this place to anyone. Maybe a one time bad occasion, but I've never seen 3-4 bad things to note about one dine in experience..
This place is unreal and often has lines out the door and round the corner. For good reason too. Great interior fit out. Excellent food at reasonable prices. Although it took a good 20ish minutes for our food to get to us, it was worth the wait. The meats were incredibly tender and well marinated. It’s always easier getting in during lunchtime then it is for dinner.
Very nice Greek food here. Really good marinade and it's got a nice grilled flavour, the meat is very succulent, the pita bread and dips are also top notch. This place does get super busy and unfortunately the separate tables get put right up close to each other, which is annoying.
Stalactites is an iconic Greek restaurant with classic Greek dishes and a unique dining room experience with stalactites hanging from the ceiling hence the name. The coffee was okay and food were generally pricey for its portion but delicious. Their meat platters are a must-try!
