It's a nice genuine place where you can enjoy real flavours from an authentic family of Cyprus. Decent size portions (what you want!) and good value for $$. Only thing I'd re-do is the menu which I often find a bit confusing, but that may be just me.
Delicious food, great value - recommend the Meze banquet if you’re hungry. A West End classic.
Super Relaxing Experience with a beautiful view of the sky outside on the balcony.
We had a table of 4 on the verandah. It was a very good experience. Thank you to the wait staff who thoughtfully moved us from a small to a larger table when we ordered the Meze; a bit of room makes all the difference!
The restaurant was recommended but overall it was a very disappointing experience, I would not go back again, better value for money elsewehere
Food was okay but not great. Service was friendly but stressed. Busy night. Overall was okay/neutral. Wouldn’t go back.
Sensational experience at Kafenio with my partner! We enjoyed the $35/pp meze and have never been fed so well at a restaurant. Very flavoursome and exciting meal, everything was portioned just right (perhaps a few too many chips) and drinks were very well priced. Will absolutely be back with a group.
The amazing food here was delicious and very fresh at a very good price. The staff were very friendly and provided a great service. I would highly recommend this venue.
Really very poor. Had the meze for two. Tasteless seafood swimming in oil, bland dips that were hard to differentiate from each-other, tough lamb, burnt meat balls. Give the place a miss and go to McDonald's - both are equally bad but at least McDonald's is priced right. What a disappointment. Seriusly, give it a miss and go somewhere else.
Great friendly authentic environment with excellent food. Noisy casual dining ambiance perfect for catchups with friends and other happy gatherings. Food was top notch and plentiful when you get the Mezze selection. Will definitely be back to try their non mezze menu items!
Great little find. Had the atmosphere of a coffee shop in Cyprus, with all the old men playing cards and chatting about life, relaxing at their local cafe. Food was great, very authentic Cypriot food, well cooked and presented, with a good selection to choose from. Very laid back, relaxed atmosphere - loved it. Will be back!
Lovely food, great service, authentic and very reasonably priced. Catered for my food skerries with no problems. Have to go back, too full for dessert.
Gem of a restaurant, food was amazing service was fast, friendly and looking forward to going back there again. It was a pleasure to eat here
The food was very bland without flavour. Compared to other Greek Restaurants that we have been to this was well below par. Would not recommend.
Service staff were good but rushed. Restaurant appeared to be popular with a more mature aged clientele. Not as welcoming to a younger family. Menu was basic and overpriced.
Fabulous Greek food from the Soulva! Generous portions for the price. Quick and efficient friendly service. Overall my choice for good Greek food in Brisbane
The Kafenio serves excellent greek food. The service is great with very friendly staff and the prices are very reasonable. Will definitely go back for more.
Great food and good service made for a very enjoyable dining experience. We look forward to returning to this family friendly restaurant to sample more of the menu.
We arrived at the restaurant at 12pm, placed our order and within 5 minutes our food arrived. The main courses arrived before the entrees. The mixed slow cooked lamb on the spit was served luke warm and it was tough to cut and eat. It had obviously been cut hours before and it wasn't hot - very disappointing and unenjoyable. Then the entrees arrived - calamari and octopus. The serves were very small, calamari worked out to $1 per ring and the octopus just four small pieces. We sat 3 people at a table for two. It was very cramped when the food arrived. We had to put our water on the floor.
it is an average greek restaurant nothing to compare with Lefkas or other Greek restaurants around west end and the area. not bad i say
Always excellent food and service at Brisbane Kafeneo. A bustling family atmosphere with lots of smiles and aromas wafting from the kitchen. We are never disappointed. Easy street parking, anddisability access into the restaurant.
Not experienced staff.Sad and empty atmosphere. The waitres was not able to explain us their plates. Price was pretty good. Food was tasty. I will not come back
It's always a pleasure to dine here. Great service and wonderful food with best prices. Authentic greek food that keeps ypu coming back for more. Sad I couldn't make dessert last night as I was just too full.
Well worth a visit. We went on a wet day & was disappointed because we couldn't have the slow cooked lamb shoulder - wood too damp. Staff very friendly & helpful. Best haloumi.
We love the atmosphere at Kafenio, but maybe Sunday night is not the best time to visit. The lamb souvlaki was dry and we wondered if it was leftover from lunch. We thought the pita was normally freshly made, but it didn't seem that way on Sunday night. And our pita (dry bread, dry lamb) had no dressing at all. Not up to the quality we have had before. However the rosewater cream kataifi was wonderful.
Sunday lunch - nice setting in older cottage - good atmosphere - excellent service - off street parking- and most importantly top food! - I was impressed- Kerry
We love Kafenio , it has great food and a relaxed casual atmosphere. The value for money is fabulous. The service is also always great.
Great food. Great service. Great day Would recommend it to anyone looking for a great atmosphere away from the busy city. Not expensive and a good variety of food
Hard to beat the charcoal grilled lamb. Great night out washed down with a very nice chilled Fiano from Crete. Friendly family service. We will be back.
+ very good food, big portionts, good value, casual atmosphere, felt like back in Greece - slow service, even though it was quite quiet night
Friendly family dining. Great food. Great value. It's always full of expat Cypriots which is a good sign. We always go for the lamb chops on the spit. Yum.
Fabulous Greek/Cypriot cuisine. Very reasonable in price with a huge variety of traditional foods. Atmosphere was pleasant, staff were lovely. Great place to take family and friends.
