Reviews The Hellenic Eatery

I no longer live in Cardiff and would argue the thing I miss the most is Hellenic Eatery. I mean, it helps that I’m a massive Greek food fan (I’d probably take a job that paid in Tzatziki), but they get it so right here. It’s cheap (especially considering the piles of food you get) and I highly recommend sharing the Hellenic Platter.

A small eatery on a busy Cardiff street. There are loads of restaurants on the street but Hellenic does a good job of making sure good food and good service. Started with the the two Greek beer options mythos and fix. The veg options ordered were the veggie platter from mains, the Santorini salad and the I love Athens wrap. Good tasty food which packed a good flavour. The chicken wrap also was well done with perfectly cooked chicken.
The winner thought was the gyros Merida platter. Pita, salad and loads of pork shavings. Absolute heaven.

You will need to book a table as the restaurant is mostly full.

Do visit and have a good time.

We really wanted to have Lebanese food for dinner one night, but couldn't find a good place that was open. So we did the next best thing, went to a Greek restaurant.

This place is REALLY BUSY. We were given a waiting time of 1 hour, so I would highly recommend you call before coming.

The decor was basic but really cute and bright, in a homely way. The service was superb, the staff were really friendly, again in a homely way.

The food was exceptional. We started with a Tyrokafteri, which was very cheesy and full of flavour. For mains we ordered a chicken wrap and a The Hellenic Eatery wrap. While the chicken wrap was food, the Hellenic wrap was superb.

Overall if you want some great flavours and wholesome food, definateky try out this place.

I’ve got a hell of a lot of love for Hellenic food. When I was 18 years old, a lads’ trip to Faliraki involved me leaving the nightclub early every night to get to the kebab shop for a gyros fix. And, shortly after Mrs G and I started dating, a holiday to Crete consisted of moussaka, souvlaki, feta salad and Mythos beer interspersed with the odd bit of sunbathing. It’s therefore wonderful news that the recently opened Hellenic Eatery on Crwys Road is so good. The reassuringly concise menu focuses on grilled meats alongside a handful of salads and cheese based starters.  Our party of five gave most of the starters a run for their money. Golden, crisp and salty halloumi was served atop superb warm pitta, which tasted as though it had been griddled in olive oil. At £3 it was a bargain too.  A Greek salad (£4) with a generous amount of feta and a good dusting of oregano was as fresh as can be.  Dakos (£3.30) transported me straight back to Crete. A crisp barley rusk was drizzled with olive oil, finely chopped tomatoes, crumbled feta and oregano. It was lush but not quite as good as the version I ate on holiday; it benefits from sitting around so the tomato juice soaks into the rusk.    Lastly, grilled feta (£3) was delicious but the least impressive starter. A foil parcel of feta had been baked with tomato, gr

Some of the best customer service we’ve had in Cardiff. Friendly, helpful, and flexible. Felt like we were on holiday. Food is great and portions are huge. There were two of us and we had starters, mains, and a beer each, plus some extra meat for the dog and it was less than £40. Fantastic value for money. Dog friendly.

If you want fresh authentic Greek food, this is the place to come. The staff are brilliant and always go beyond. The service is good, prices are very reasonable and massive portion sizes. The owner is always on site, and most of the staff are family and friends, which makes the atmosphere friendly. The restaurant is well worth a visit....booking is a must at weekends as its very busy.

Clear 5*⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hellenic Food "eatery". Posh replaced by even better authentic food quality. Very good service by owner family originating from Athens. Rarely had a Zaziki that good. Meals ordered with bread will delight you taste buds. VERY fair prices for this quality of food. Btw No Pics from me this time. Food was just too good.😍 Disadvantages: NONE ...except if you search a place to park your car 😉

Lovely atmosphere . Lovely good . I wwnt for something that I felt I'd enjoy . Amd I did so..I had the gyros meal . Meat and veg in pitra type breads ..only thing I wish I ordered with it was a dip ..other means had dips . I'm unsure why this 1 didn't. Maybe as it was skewer type.. Decent amount I was full . Pints very reasonable compared to other venues. Thanks

Nice, small and traditional Greek restaurant. Portion sizes are very generous and I left feeling well-fed and stuffed. The halloumi starter was delicious, as was the main course platter. Staff were very friendly also.

This was the third time I've eaten here and every time the food was just delicious. This time I decided to go for something smaller, a wrap it was still big) and it very tasty and filling. Staff always polite and we had some live Greek music as well.
