Last night I went to Lefkas with two of my friends. It was the best customer service I have experienced. The staff were absolutely lovely. Could not speak more highly of them. From memory there was a man with light hair, a lady with lots of silver jewellery and a British lady with tanned skin. Give these three servers a pay rise!

December 13, 2024

Our experience at Lefkas was incredibly frustrating, despite the food being good. We arrived at 7:35 PM, and our order was taken around 7:50 PM. By 8:20–8:25 PM, a dish was brought to our table, only for it to be taken away and served to another table moments later. Then, the waitress informed us that our order hadn’t even been entered into the system. As a result, we had to reorder and waited until 9 PM—over an hour after first placing our order—to finally receive our food. While the waitress apologized for the mistake, it’s shocking that none of the restaurant’s management took responsibility or made any effort to address the situation. The food itself was good, but the lack of organization, accountability, and basic customer care overshadowed everything else. Management’s silence in the face of such a significant error was disappointing. I hope Lefkas can address these issues, as the quality of the food deserves far better service to match.

Its practically a tradition to go to Lefkas for my sister's birthday each year as its one of her favourite Greek joints in Brisbane and I cannot agree more. Fresh gorgeous flavours with an affordable price tag. The octopus is perfect, the souvlakis are awesome and the calamari is cooked to perfection. Service is always fast and pleasant, especially for such a busy and bustling environment. Can never go wrong here, highly recommend!

We love Greek food and always had good meals when visiting Australia. We had the combo for 2, but somewhat disappointed. The meats were dry, probably over cooked, and the calamari was very fishy, and the octopus was very greasy.

If you’re looking for authentic Greek food then this the best place one can visit. Their food is amazing and their starter is enough to fill your stomach. They provide their meal enough for one person, good amount of quantity. We went 5 people and we couldn’t finish everything so we bought back our food in containers. Their fish is awesome 🤩 atmosphere is ok if you’re sitting inside though outside is better. Service is fine. Overall I would recommend this place

We were a group booking and everyone got their meal except me. I was having char grilled prawns, not a dish that should take THAT long to cook. I didnt get my meal until the rest of the group was almost finished. We followed up a number of times where they said the prawns were almost on the grill. Not really good enough. Disappointing actually. They didnt want to entertain any sort of compensation but eventually they did. I wont be rushing back.

Nice restaurant with a good atmosphere. Not overly impressed with the food though. I had the mussels which were overcooked and a very small portion. The Greek salad did not resemble a Greek salad with few ingredients hidden under alot of rocket? The lamb souvlaki was rather chewy and a bit on the cold side. The others seemed very happy with their yiros though.

Proper authentic Greek food, better than anything I have had in Melbourne (and Ive been to quite a few). We came back again after a break when the food went downhill a bit. The food here is excellent once again. We had the baby octopus (excellent), and the baked lemon chicken, (also very good indeed). Just a suggestion - order the village salad, NOT the Greek salad. Its the authentic one. Consistency seems to be a real issue with so many restaurants in Brisbane. Its the core of their continuing success, but so many are all over the shop. Came back again today after 5 months. The food is still good. We had sardines, baby octopus, Greek salad and chicken yiros. The food was quite a bit saltier than last time, perhaps a different cook today. The Greek salad and sardines were both so salty so as to border on unpleasant. Anna we came back again after another 5 months. This time the food was excellent. We had chicken yiros, saganaki and char baby octopus. Absolutely delicious, and very generous serves. Back to their best - the best Greek food weve had in Australia, easy.

My favourite Greek restaurant, hands down! Their takeaway service is truly exceptional, deserving a 10/10 rating. The way they cater to customers seeking quality Greek food on-the-go is world-class. Standout dishes for me include the delectable yiros, tender meat, perfectly charred octopus, and decadent desserts. Special mention to Jo, who runs the takeaway service with kindness and expertise - shes truly exceptional and a shining example of outstanding customer service.

It used to be my favourite Greek restaurant, it isnt any more. Last time we ordered chicken and lamb souvla. The lamb was awfully dry, and lack of taste same as the lemon potatoes. Saganaki was okay as well as the 5 dip combo.

This is our third time we have visited here, the food is so amazing, but the service is terrible and the wait time for food was quite poor. Every time we have gone for dinner, there has been something that has gone wrong. The first time, they forgot 2 peoples meals out of 6 of us, so myself and my partner sat waiting for 45 minutes whilst everyone else had finished, but they never actually came despite reminding them twice, so we had to wait for them to make it at 830pm. They were very apologetic though. The second time we came back, one of us only ordered an entrees as they wernt hungry, but asked to make it as a main so we all got our meals at the same time. She got her entree after an hour, but we were waiting for another 45 minutes for our food. We reminded them 3 times that we were happy for all the food to come out, but it took over an hour. The third time, which was last week, we ordered our food, waited an hour and a half. Once we finally got it, one persons meal never came. We reminded them again and it took them 40 minutes to make it. Its amazing food but really frustrating that every time we go, there is ab issue. I think we would go back but not if we are starving! Lol

The take-out yiro, both meat and vegetable, is delicious. Dine-in is much more expensive than take-out, take-out costs 20-40 RMB per person, and dine-in costs 40-60 RMB per person. If you dine-in, don t sit outside the door at night, as the food will get cold instantly on a windy day.

Only tried this place the other week. Glad I did. Lovely people and service! Place is always busy has great atmosphere. Felt like I was on Lonsdale st or High st Northcote in Melbourne. We had the combination platter and chicken souvlaki (they ran out of lamb, lol) and Greek salad for dinner. Meat and sea food on offer were nicely done. Chicken infused in char hola flavour. Calamari isn t the real calamari you get at Mosconi or Bianca. It s a great place to get a take away Giro, like in Rome, you pay half the price if you stand and walk away then if you dine in. A little tip that was shared with us by two locals when we first discovered the place. The take away Giro is amazing and can be enjoyed just by the river down the road. Happy eating.

EXCEPTIONAL. After hearing nothing but rave reviews from friends about Lefkas Taverna, we booked in for lunch on Saturday. The whole dining experience was nothing short of perfect. The vibes were great, the staff were attentive but not intrusive and as far to say as warm. They were just a delight on every interaction. With Greek cuisine being my favourite, I was exceptionally excited to visit Lefkas. And was not let down at all. The menu is diverse and the food was incredible! The zucchini and feta balls, dang! So so good! We had about 7 dishes and they were all incredible. Excited at the thought of returning. True, genuine, high quality Greek food for the win. Thank you so much :)

I love Greek food and always look for great Hellenistic cuisine. This was very disappointing This was the worst Greek food I have ever eaten and I have been a fan of this food for more than forty years. . I ordered the psari. It was cooked very hard and lacked flavour. It was tough. The lemon potatoes were too salty. The salad was good as were the entrees. The meals of my associates were fine. I guess fish is not one of Leftkas signature dishes.

Done in for 4. Huge servings and the combination platter for 2 and several dips plus a serving of potatoes was more than enough. Table service was great to start but as things got busy this slackened off some and we had difficulty ordering more drinks but this was not a huge issue. Food was full of flavour, the octopus was ridiculously good and the calamari was very tender. No room for dessert which tells you how good the serving sizes were.

Placing the order, our waitress suggested not ordering the salad as there would be plenty supplied with the meals we ordered. A nice touch, and she was 100% correct, considering what we ordered. We had the combination dips, which were superb, and very generous. My partner had the Moussaka, which she loved, and I had the stuffed capsicum which was delicious. Lovely service, noisy vibrant atmosphere and not at all expensive, just great value for money. Will definitely return. Superb

I finally got around to trying this Greek Restaurant. Ive never eaten at a sit down Greek restaurant before, and I was not disappointed. Service was friendly and the atmosphere was busy, but not hectic or overwhelming. But the main event was the food, of course. My partner had the yiros and I had the quail which was so rich in flavour and juicy. I did find it a little hard to eat as its a gamey bird with lots of bones, but thats the type of meat it is. Its definitely on my list to come back and try some of their other meals.

Incredibly disappointing food. I have been a customer here since 1994 when I was living around the corner in Gray Rd Hill End, first year of uni. Continued to patronise Lefkas throughout the years but since moving away 10 yrs ago have only been a handful of times when in Brisbane. We have a very strong fondness for this place and it has been talked up to our children who we had never actually had the chance to bring until last Thursday night. We booked with great anticipation and excitement to finally share it with them. Very sad then to pay a lot of money for really bad food, with the exception of the calamari which was excellent. The kids told me, mum your Greek beans, your lemon potatoes are so much better. They are right, they are! These lemon potatoes were DRY and therefore lacking in flavour, firm instead of how they should be ie so well-cooked they are starting to disintegrate. And white pepper seemed to be a dominant taste in both the lemon potatoes and the stuffed capsicums. The capsicums were fairly ordinary - stuffed with cous cous with a vaguely tomato flavour. That was it. But the salad that came with the capsicum and the extra salad we ordered - absolutely inedible!! As if kalamata olives and fetta arent salty enough (and too much of those things and not enough of the fresher ingredients like tomato and cucumber to balance out the saltiness), the whole salad had been salted in the kitchen to the point it was inedible!! I like salt but this was a level of saltiness that really warranted us sending the salads back. But we had limited time and who wants to complain at a restaurant where the idea is enjoyment? Having to complain or send food back is really not what customers want to have to do. It was so unpleasant. The restaurant was on its second night opening since the owners had taken a break but we were told there were no mushrooms after we had ordered the mushrooms and haloumi. Seriously? thats just poor form. We ordered the dolmades reluctantly as a substitute. We got 5 (or was it 4?) TINY dolmades for $14. the flavour no better than canned ones and the size most definitely smaller than canned ones. The green beans were on the very small side for the price and mine are better by far and Im not Greek or running a restaurant. The food was very slow to arrive although it was early (5:30) and not busy at all. Not intending to complain about everything (the calamari was great!!) but I liked it in the old days when it felt like a Greek taverna before the expansion next door. The white arches and terracotta tiles have gone but we were so eagerly anticipating the food would still be the same so massively disappointing and most definitely not like the old days. It is so irksome to hand over quite a sum of money for food that is so below standard and poor value. So very sad to say after 40 years of coming here, I wont be back until it changes hands again. Feel free to do the right thing and at least partially refund our meal or offer us a re-visit on the house. That would be genuine integrity and we would take you up on that. EDIT to respond. Sorry for the mis-calculation. Youre right. Ive been a customer for 30 years not 40. Youre really choosing to pick on this mistake instead of responding to anything Ive said about the food itself? And I didnt say I wont complain; I will if i think its warranted! Which it was! $14 for 4 dolmades out a tin.... Why do you need to know who I am or where we sat? Are you going to offer us a refund or credit? I will supply details if so. As for assuming we said nothing upon paying, when asked how was everything, my mum said some of the dishes were very salty and some lacked flavour. We were offered a dessert but declined as we needed to be elsewhere. You want to criticise the length of my review? Which parts should I have left out? You are so defensive. Why dont you take a genuine look at my feedback. Instead of a knee-jerk attack response, you should thank me as reviews are an opportunity to improve!! Dont listen to me, your restaurant is perfect 100% of the time.

The food quality is nothing like it used to be.

This happened 2 or 3 weeks ago. Went for a pork gyros, waited for half an hour to get the waitress to tell me she forgot to pass the order to the kitchen, then by one hour of waiting the manager comes and tells me he s sorry but they don t have pork. I dont remember the last time I wasted an hour so bad. Poor service.

Went for Saturday lunch. Service was very disappointing and food took a long time to come out. Food was ok tasting but not great. Souvla had a lot of bone but not much meat and left me feeling hungry. Other people at the table complained about how salty their dishes were. We had heard a lot of great things about Lefkas and love our Greek food but sadly it did not live up to the expectations.

Authentic and reasonably priced Greek in Brisbane. We were right to start at 5:30 pm. By the time we got the dish, fur place was full of families and other groups of people. We ordered a combination plate. Oh my! The volume was so generous and everything on the plate was seasoned perfectly!!! There is a takeaway counter where we can get skewers or other yummy-looking plates. Definitely a neighbourhood favourite.

Weve recently moved to Brisbane and this instantly became my familys favorite restaurant. We drive from far away almost every Saturday to dine in because we absolutely love the taste of every single dish we have tried so far. I would recommend it to any person who enjoys fresh, well prepared food. Their setup for big tables is a hit and the live music is a nice touch. Service is friendly and prices are fair. It is usually busy so I strongly advise booking a table and NOT putting your name on the waiting list. Their take-out is insanely busy too. Be patient.

Most authentic taverna in Brisbane, easily amongst the best in Australia. My only constructive criticism, is that the wine & drinks menu is an extremely limited offering of ordinary Australian and Greek options. Glassware ordinary. The food, staff and great venue, deserve better. You should champion Greek beverages - more available by small tasting serve under winesave/argon/coravin etc zero wastage, greater profit. Include a single page of Greek options with decent info on producer, region and style. Some premium options Santorini Assyrtiko, Peloponees Xinamavro etc - wine list is currently in tiny font and difficult to read. No useful info and ltd staff knowledge Pay for a decent Greek bartender/sommelier and you will deliver serious extra $$$$$$ Greek wine, spirits and beer, should be front & center. Even decent retsina.

On recommendation from a friend hubby and I decided to check out Lefkas. Loving authentic Greek food, we were not disappointed. We shared zucchini rolls for starter. I had moussaka with lemon potatoes and salad, hubby had lamb souvla with chips and salad, all delicious and generous portions. We took home some baklava as we were too full for dessert. The staff were amazing Eve, Ella and Carlos made us feel very welcome and served us with ease and total professionalism. We were too early for the traditional evening music session but will return. Would highly recommend.

A wonderful night at Lefkas. Our original table was undesirable, so the staff went out of their way to organise a better one. The menu has a lot to offer and caters for everyone. The food arrived in great time and it was very tasty overall. The atmosphere was upbeat, lively and energetic. Live music and a packed house. Only complaint was all the food seemed to be very well salted, but that is probably what most people love anyways. This place knows what they are doing, a must for a great night out in West End, Brisbane. Parking: Ample street parking

Heard mixed reviews about this place but unfortunately the food is terrible! Everything is kept in a bain marie for takeaway and in house service so nothing is fresh and you can tell. The lamb was inedible. We ordered drinks that never came but they tried to charge us for. Witnessed a group trying to use a voucher from a third party website where Lefkas are listed as a participating restrauntant but the owner flat out refused to accept even though they could show it on the website and on their booking which he acknowledged he saw. Went on for ages before the poor guy just gave up cos the owner was so rude. Just a heads up for anyone who might find the place through a third party.. its Def not worth it!
