About Elliniko | Greek Eatery

Tucked along Unley Road, Elliniko delivers authentic Greek tavern cooking anchored by charcoal-grilled meats and warm hospitality. Long, unhurried group dinners revolve around a customizable feed-me banquet—letting tables pick their own dishes across every course instead of surrendering to a rigid kitchen set. Patrons settle under courtyard heaters with blankets, sharing warm pita, layered moussaka, and smoky souvlakia paired with a concise rotating list of four wines. The meal winds down over a slice of syrupy kataifi and strong Greek coffee.

  • Customizable Banquet Dining: Guests tailor their communal feast by selecting specific dishes across each course instead of accepting a fixed lineup.
  • Heated Courtyard Seating: The outdoor courtyard provides heaters along with blankets and warm rugs for alfresco comfort in cooler weather.
  • Rotating Four-Wine List: A tight, curated beverage selection focuses on four rotating bottles alongside traditional Greek-style coffee.
