    Absolutely brilliant Greek food, not a single misstep with anything we ordered. The food was just amazing. Serving sizes were generous very satisfying. Kids ordered souvlakis and were super happy, adults ordered lots of share plates and we were completely blown away by all the flavours. The staff couldn’t have been nicer and more helpful and knowledgeable about the menu and drinks but they were busy so sometimes a bit slow but we didn’t care. We were made to feel very welcome and as it was a special occasion we were given a private dining area so we could chat away from the upstairs fun. This will become a regular for us!

    Kafenion was the perfect choice for my PhD Graduation dinner. The staff were all very obliging, energetic and attentive to all our requests. Food was delicious with very generous servings. The candlelight ambiance and background music made for a relaxed mood. We all had a fabulous time and will be visiting again.

    From the time we entered, the owner Paris and his staff made us feel welcome. I loved the new look in the place, far more modern and appealing than my last visit some years ago under other owners. I did not like the experience back then but the experience this time under Paris's management is outstanding. Prompt service with a smile and the food was excellent. This is coming from an Australian of Greek heritage. I highly recommend it. Thank-you Paris and to your team. Paris even can outside when we left to thank us and wish us a nice day.
