    By FAR, one of the best places I've been to in Australia! The level of service and friendship you received from this beautiful couple is second to none! The food was simply out of this world amazing and you can TASTE the wonderful world of the Mediterranean lifestyle. The olives, the feta, the sardines, the tomatoes, the bread... Everything was just on point. Out on a casual business trip, looking for some simple and quick dinner, I found myself at this little gem. After a long day of work, I felt like I needed to treat myself to some entre an mains. Once the entre was served, I started eating and ordering as this was simply a 'once in a lifetime' experience. Don't get me wrong here, the food is simple but the execution simply bursts with love. I cannot wait to come back to Parramatta to take friends, family and work colleagues to this wonderful restaurant. Thank you Peter and Alana 🙏

    Ignore the negative reviews - we did and we had a great experience! Kouzina Greco has an awesome vibe, terrific service and delicious food. It is a busy restaurant so make a reservation. All the dishes were perfection but the stand-outs were the sheftalies, zucchini flowers and the cheesecake....did I mention the cheesecake! If you're like me you don't order dessert but my daughter ordered it and it was to die for....light, vibrant and nostimo! We will be back.

    In the long run, I haven't been much enarmoured with eating in Parramatta, but need to come for theatre at Riverside. Luckily I discovered Kouzino Greco, not only the best place I've found in Parramatta but also the best restaurant service I've had in a long time. It helps when owners are present, on the floor and in the (open) kitchen. Their care as well as professionalism shines through. I just had starters this time, anchovies with my Amaretto Sour, cabbage rolls (moist in a veloute), chicken livers with my wine. Food was very tasty. I'd suggest skip the same same Church Street venues, and turn the corner into Phillip Street. I will be back when I'm in the area. Mains from that hot rock grill are calling me.

    Service: 2 stars Food ratings 3 stars: cheese entree 4 stars: lamb shoulder, octopus 5 stars: fried dough dessert, semolina custard Noise: 2 stars Came here as it was the top restaurant listed in Parramatta on Trip Advisor at 8pm on a Tuesday night. The overall experience did not live up to its hype, and was judged as a family owned and operated restaurant. Not sure if it was understaffed as it was pretty packed, but we never actually got the menu and had to look it up on our phones. We were half a mind to go up to the counter to order as we had not been tended to for 30 minutes after seating. We realised we won't be looked after unless we really try and flag down staff members to order, get water and get dessert, even though you are paying proper restaurant prices. Food arrived from 45 minutes into a timed 90 minute seating. - Cheese entree was expectantly heavy, but too heavy on its own and would be better served with a side of bread to balance. It was too much of a service hassle and time to order it separately. - Octopus was worth every bite. Nicely done, soft and tangy, and something I would recommend trying. - Lamb shoulder had a really dry outer edge, the type to make your teeth gnash against each other. Better toward the bone that ultimately saved it to a four star, but I wouldn't order it again- not particularly outstanding nor memorable for the price. - dessert really saved the entire experience- not too sweet but memorable and would come back for the desserts. Be prepared to shout if seated indoors as the bare walls are quite bouncy. My partner couldn't hear me despite being 1m away.

    The food is so good. Everything they serve contains top quality ingredients and cooked to perfection, even the simplest items like the dips and pita are perfect. That hot fluffy pita bread is divine. The barramundi was the fish of the day. I'm so glad that I got it. It was soft and melting in my mouth. So tender. I loved the muscles in the broth too. It added a nice depth of flavour. The moussaka was delightful too. The bechamel sauce was the standout. The service is really professional and very efficient. I love quick service. The tables are a bit tight together but that is the only draw back. They need more room!

    What a phenomenal restaurant - this has to be the best Greek restaurant in all of Sydney. The owners Alannah and Peter are absolutely wonderful and make sure your meal is perfect from start to finish. Anyone looking for a restaurant for date night or a great feed and good value for money should visit here. You will not leave here disappointed.

    Everything we ordered was on point! Authentic tasty Greek and exceptional service. Had the dolamdes, octopus, Lamb shoulder and orange baked semolina. They use Halal meat suppliers.

    On Saturday night we went for my husband's birthday dinner. I'm so glad I chose this place because we had a perfect meal and a wonderful time. We ordered the banquet and what a feast! Each dish cooked exceeded my expectations. And we have tried thousands of restaurants but I can honestly say that it was the best Greek meal I've had in Australia. It reminds me of the fantastic food and atmosphere we experienced in the Greek islands. We didn't tell the owner it was a birthday occasion and only casually mentioned to the waitress who took the photo for us. We were surprised to see that the lovely owner brought us each a drink and wished my husband happy birthday! You can't beat this service! Everyone is fast but not rushed, such a relaxed and warm family restaurant I love it! We will definitely come back!

    This was truly a delightful experience. We had a selection of entrees. The stuffed zucchini flowers had amazing flavours and freshly cooked. The prawn saganaki was delicious! Prawns tasted deliciously fresh and succulent, and the sauce was very tasty. The wait staff were efficient and friendly. It was a lovely experience. Thanks so much, team!

    We went for a small family lunch and were very happy. A very nice small neighbourhood restaurant with excellent Greek food and good service. Lots of dishes can be shared, and serving size is good too. I's what I'd call 'nice Greek', in sense that the food is not as heavy as some Greek places. We visited mid week, was a mix of friends/family/office workers, nice atmosphere, pleasant decor and thoughtful efficient service. Definitely will go again.

    Our family had an excellent lunch at Kouzina Greco. The owners are very friendly and gave us the education we needed about Greek food. We love their lamb souvlaki and prawn saganaki! Thank you! Btw, parking isn’t difficulty. There is parking further down on Philip St (at Erby Pl).

    Best restaurant have eaten at in a long time. Friendly staff and very attentive, amazing food that outside of my own Greek relatives is the best Greek food I ever had! And that’s a tall ask in my books. We left full and wanting to come back for more, highly recommend.

    Everything was absolutely delicious. Simple, beautifully executed food. The dips made us crave more of their nice bread. Octopus and dolmades (lamb and rice wrapped in grape vine leaves) entree was beautifully cooked with well balanced flavour. Lamb shoulder, lamb casserole and beef ragout were cooked with amazing balance also. So tasty! My personal favourite was the lamb shoulder. On another occasion I had the tiramisu and doughnut balls (doughnuts only available at dinner though! However we were told if you call ahead they can make it for you, so nice!). I highly recommend their doughnuts. They're seriously to die for.

    Modern, yet authentic Greek cuisine in the heart of Parramatta. The staff are very welcoming and the food is amazing! There are only a few 'proper' Greek restaurants in Sydney and this is definitely one of them. The lamb was falling off the bone, Cabbage rolls were bursting with flavor and the seafood was fresh! This is my new go to for Greek!

    Seeked a Great Middle Eastern dining experience after being let down on Father's day by an underwhelming Restaurant in the area called The Armani. Decided to make a second attempt to make up for it and booked a table for family of 3 at this restaurant Kouzina Greco (word of mouth from work colleague.....which didn't disappoint. From the hot over the coal warm pita and dips, tantalizing juicy, flavorsome octopus. The Dolzemes, 1 cocktail, house beer and 1 bottled Mineral water. 3 mains Lamb Kleftikos, pasta & ricotta casserole, and prawn saganaki for me left us highly satisfied. We enjoyed the atmosphere and love in the food prepared for our family. They aim to please!! Priceless!!

    Friendly staff that make great suggestions. They were happy to customise our meal. Food is always nice here

  • 4/5 Lauren M. 10 months ago on Google
    Super authentic food! Everything was delicious and the staff are attentive and lovely. We chose the ‘our table’ set menu and were treated to dips and pitta, calamari, lamb meatballs, zucchini flowers and halloumi, Greek salad, chicken souvlaki and slow cooked lamb and potatoes. Recommend making a booking as it gets very busy on weekends!

  • 5/5 Rosette B. 1 year ago on Google
    What an amazing Greek dining experience. From the service, the ambience and the food - everything was incredible. We topped off our meal with dessert which was again an incredible end to the evening. Highly recommend and we will definitely be back!

  • 5/5 Audrey Vintage C. 1 year ago on Google
    Hands down the best Greek food I've eaten outside of Greece! Meat is tender & perfectly charred over the coals & especially loved the Cheftalies. Loved how generous the servings of tzatziki were too. The service was phenomenal & personal.

  • 5/5 Michael C. 2 years ago on Google
    Flawless. From the food to the service to the atmosphere, you couldn’t find a fault with this gem! Slightly off the busy concourse of Church/Eat Street, this family owned and operated Greek restaurant is one of the best dining experiences in Parramatta. The souvlaki was perfectly cooked (and thoughtfully presented so you don’t battle to get the meat off the skewer), the haloumi was incredible and the moussaka was as authentic as it gets this side of the Aegean Sea! We will be back for certain.

  • 4/5 Daryl N. 2 years ago on Google
    Saganaki & Grilled Octopus were delicious. Desserts (Bougatsa and Loukoumades) were also great. Service was a bit slow but the resteraunt was full and very busy when we arrived for Dinner. Food came out pretty fast after ordering.

  • 5/5 David B. 2 years ago on Google
    First time at Kouzina Greco with some friends who hadn't been there for some time. Excellent meal with attentive. helpful, friendly staff. The restaurant is close to the Riverside Theatre complex which made it ideal for a pre-show dinner. We will certainly be going back!

  • 5/5 Jane D. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Steve Q. 2 years ago on Google
    Our experience at Kouzina Greco was absolutely wonderful! From the minute you walk in, you're made to feel welcome and looked after by the team. I thought I've had good greek food before (being from Melbourne) - but Kouzina Greco took things to the next level. What makes this restaurant so special, is you can tell the amount of effort and detail that's gone into the menu, food presentation and service experience.

  • 5/5 Tony M. 2 years ago on Google
    My husband & I have been to many Greek Restaurant’s over the years. Kouzina Greco would be hands down the best Greek food we have ever had. The venue feels warm & inviting. The service makes you feel like you are at an old friends house. Thank you for a great night, highlight of our trip to Sydney.

  • 5/5 John M. 2 years ago on Google

The mousaca was fantastic, great flavours. The service was sensational. We will definitely be back! Awesome experience, definitely recommend. 5 star rating.

    Amazing authentic Greek food (I come from Greek heritage) lovely staff and make sure you come with an empty stomach cause the portions are amazing.

  • 5/5 Chris C. 4 years ago on Google
    Great family atmosphere. Delicious Mediterranean flavours. Brought back memories of my visits to the Greek Islands many moons ago (Kefalonia in particular). Excellent service. I highly recommend visiting this restaurant.

  • 3/5 Dharini R. 3 years ago on Google
    The food here is good. Very limited veg option but the quality of the food is great. If you going friday or sat night best to book in before as they do not have free tables. The waiters are good after you get a table if you haven't book for a table previously they are so busy o even book you in. Might have to just wait for 20 mins before you speak to someone.

  • 5/5 Anna W. 3 years ago on Google
    Highly recommend! What an amazing experience. Food was very delicious and customer service was above and beyond. The staff was very attentive and friendly. We will definitely be back. Thanks Kouzina Greco team! Good job :)

    A family restaurant, as it would be in Greece; serving piping hot servings of delicious food. It is not glamorous but makes up for that with friendly service and generous quantity. A fun and bustling night out
