We went here last night. They weren't too busy, still a few tables empty. A small birthday party at the back.Waiter was quick enough to come over and recommended a nice glass of wine.Ordered the bruschetta and 2 pastas. Waited about 30 mins for the bruschetta and almost another hour for the pastas. We were so hungry then we ate it in about 5 mins, then left.No apology for the delay. Very strange.Food was ok, nothing special, but good enough.Restaurant looked nice. Waiter and waitress both nice people.However, the very long wait for the food ruined it for us. We won't be back.

Mega Yeeros is committed to serve a tradition that meets the authenticity of the Hellenic cuisine. Carefully selected ingredients, secret mixture of spices and unknown cooking techniques to the public lead the taste to an ultimate outcome. A team of exper

We ordered a small platter each of mixed gyros, chips, salad, bread and tzatziki. I couldn't eat all of mine but was able to ask for a container to put the remainder in to takeaway. The food was simply delicious. We sat outside in the mall area and the young person serving was either a bit busy or not as attentive as she could have been. I would absolutely go back for more.

This hard-to-find eatery in the heart of Greek food promised lots. Confusion over menu choices with my Greek friends caused some concerns because the waiter had to check continually. When the food eventually came, it was certainly authentic, especially when rated by my colleagues. Some items we ordered didn't come, and one even came twice. Simple things like this are probably easy to overlook, but it isn't difficult to listen and notate. My lamb was very tasty, the whole snapper ordered by others was applauded. Food great, service poor, atmosphere average.

We had lunch in Katialo on a wet wintry day. Staff were welcoming and attentive. We shared calamari for entree. It was perfectly fried, delicious. We each had the fish soup for main. Warming, delicate and very tasty. Really liked the presentation and ceramic dishes.We liked the modern decor. Felt a bit like we were in Greece as everyone around us was speaking Greek, nice. We were offered complimentary yoghurt with walnuts and honey, creamy and so so tasty.We'll definitely return when we are next in Victoria.

This âupmarketâ Italian restaurant is tucked away in a commercial precinct, not far from Brandon Park shopping centre.The best thing is: parking is not a problem! At least, not on the Saturday when we visited for a family birthday celebration.The white table cloths and napkins add a certain âje ne sais quoiâ to the place: as waiter extraordinarie, Nikolas, expertly rolls and folds your napkin during your absence from the table!Nikolas was so very patient with our table - especially a 90 year old mother who likes to make difficult for everyone these days!The menu is very different from ârun of the millâ Italian restaurants and is a little on the adventurous side. A case in point is the swordfish two of us ordered: it was rare in the middle. As someone who only has well done steak, hamburgers - and salmon - I was quite taken aback that it was not cooked through. Upon being informed this was how ppl like swordfish to be cooked - I said that I would have liked to have been asked how I would like it cooked. Nikolas agreed to take my comment on board. But, as a baby boomer Iâve been around a while(!) and have travelled quite a bit and have eaten at a lot of restaurants in Australia and overseas - and I have never encountered âmedium rareâ swordfish before. It also means the fish is quite âtoughâ to eat - but admittedly, this was a very thick, generous piece.Be warned: Sette Bello is no cheap Italian. Main courses cost around $38 - while steak was $46. The pasta dishes are only marginally cheaper. The sides are $9 each - but the French fries were the best Iâve tasted!Desserts are around $16 each - but I highly recommend the lemon ricotta-filled cannoli at $4.50 each. We ordered 2 between 4 ppl and had trouble finishing it although it was delicious.Coffee was great, too!The restaurant had a lovely ambience - and thatâs mainly because the wait staff are so welcome and obliging. This Saturday lunch time was very busy - with ppl coming at various times in the lunchtime period.

Our group of 10 met here, for the first time, for lunch. I had read differing reviews, but I have to say we found Mykonos just excellent in every way. Firstly, the atmosphere was wonderful. Such interesting decor, one might feel one was actually there in Greece! Then the service was terrific - very attentive from the word go, and all through the meal. Drinks brought out promptly, and the dishes served regularly through our time there. Then the food - wow! So much food, and just delicious too. More than enough for us all, so some lucky ones got to take the leftovers home! We started with dips and pita bread, then on to a variety of meat and vegetarian dishes - the usual Greek offerings, as well as salads, seafood, lamb and pork, chips, falafels, meatballs. So yummy! And all of this for less than $40 per head! Excellent value. A place to recommend for sure!

This restaurant resembles what we used to call a bistro/grill bar. Sunday night last minute dinner and friends persuaded us to try this tucked away grill with the unprepossessing name. and it delivered fantastic food and friendly service. Walking in were struck by the deliciousness of the aromas coming from the open kitchen at the back of the long bar and we were seated in a position to observe the care and the attention to detail taken with the preparation of each dish.We had a platter for the two vegos amongst us, all the ingredients were of superior quality, calamari, which was pronounced to be the best ever, and "saganaki seafood", which also received very high praise (no cheese! and a friendly Greek lesson about what saganaki means :). Serves were generous, delicious olives and bread for dips. Pricing was very reasonable for the quality of our food. This might have just become my favourite Greek restaurant in Oakleigh.

An excellent menu of eat in or take away chicken, beef or pork souvlaki's, and pides. Platters available to share. Fresh herbs grown on the premises. Lovely fresh salads and a good range of dips plus all the usual soft drinks and coffee. Great for families. The owner went and got a bowl of water for my dog while we waited for our food to be ready. Can't ask for more than that.
