Ellenika Traditional Greek Taverna

We chose to eat here because the restaurant was listed in the Entertainment Book and it was close to home. With 3 kids - paying for expensive menus when you are unsure they will eat it is not a great proposition! However, my daughter chose Greek for her family birthday treat. We also had a Japanese student staying with us. Whilst not within the control of the restaurant, it was a shame that we couldn't sit outside on a beautiful summer night to enjoy the view - I am sure it would be spectacular in summer. However, they have a little corner of their restaurant which resembles a Greek Taverna and that was lovely to look at. I've been to the Greek Islands many times and I am partial to a bit of...

Its not nice to write a negative review, however we have just finished dining at the Ellenika and after lovely food and good service throughout our evening it all came to a crashing holt. "So if you are a group and dining together, then this may not be the place for you. If you are like us and use plastic, like 90% of the population do, then again this may not be for you, and if you can't read the Greek language, then this may not be the place for you."The evening went well. The lady serving our table was attentive and friendly and the meals were lovely. The atmosphere in the restaurant is great,the live music a great asset.However our bill arrived on our table and most of it was in Greek, w...

This restaurant has great views of the marina, friendly staff and scrumptious food. Fresh lemons are provided and the surrounds leave you in no doubt that this is a greek restaurant. The halloumi was perfectly cooked but just a tad cold, my partner had the octopus which he said was really tasty. The lamb skewers were tender and had a great selection of mediterranean veggies which were yummy. My partner had the prawn saganaki, which had a good selection of prawns and he said the cheesecake was delicious. Would definitely go back, the waitress was friendly and there was no long wait for our food or drinks.

Sadly the second time in a row our food wasn't up to scratch. We both ordered a special - I ordered the chicken breast at $39 they forgot the skordalia - it was like a quick oops from management and I still didn't get it the dish really needed the skordalia so it wasn't so plain. At $39 I expect a little more. My husband ordered the lamb special - it was basically a deconstructed yiros for $36. The wine list is very deceiving we ordered a Fiano which I expect to be at least 2016 - it was a 2015 and so didn't do the Beach Rd wine - (which we drink often) any justice can't see us returning soon.

Large venue great for our group of friends. Live music as it was a Friday night, the service was attentive and helpful. As we were a large group we ordered shared entres and platters, the platters were generous and we took the opportunity to take home the uneaten portions. Réservez une table maintenant

A great standby for an enjoyable meal out. We always enjoy a warm welcome and service is good and friendly. Food is very good and in particular we keep coming back for the salt and pepper squid. Souvlaki serves are generous and tasty.
