Comments of Hellenika at The Calile
M. S.
We celebrated our work Christmas dinner here and had the banquet menu. The food was average. Grilled prawns were very chewy and overcooked, the serving of dips with pita bread ratio was not even (there was heaps of dips leftover and not enough pita bread to have for dips) lamb was good and fish was okay.
Although, cocktails were amazing, It just takes time to order one so make sure to order one right away even you’re just halfway through your current glass.
Service was good though! Definitely a place for drinks and socials!
O.
Impressive dining experience from top to bottom.
The service staff were friendly and attentive. The food was incredibly delicious and the ambiance was wonderful.
The dishes were brought out with a lovely display and spot on temperatures. Literally could not fault a single thing about this dining experience.
Very keen to repeat!
Z. K.
Wonderful restaurant in a breath taking location.
The staff were very attentive, our waiter went through the menu with us and was patient. We couldn't get enough of the zucchini chips!
This place is a must!!
F. M.
Food is awesome 😋 we went with the banquet I have dietary restrictions they were very accommodating!
lovely place, atmosphere and service. The staff are lovely ☺️ definitely going here again 👌
Was not impressed by wine tho 🍷 😬
J. H.
Beautiful pool deck which gave us Mediterranean vibes. The cocktails from Hellenika was absolutely delicious. Given the venue, it was priced quite reasonably as well.
F. A.
As always great service and quality food. I haven't been disappointed here!
I was also happy that they brought their awesome complementary soups back! Lamb was cooked to perfection 👌 Moussaka was really good! Their desert was a perfect ending!
S. B.
First time at Hellenika for a birthday gathering a few months back… we all were left speechless ( still to this day)
Service was incredible and they tailored the menu for our vegan guests. Extremely quick and dedicated service, the team went above and beyond to may our lunch so special.
I now have a weekly coffee and breakfast at Hellenika, it’s become a tradition, thank you so very much ☺️🌷
K. T.
Overhyped and overpriced. Chewy, overcooked octopus, the whitebait was soggy and fishy. Chips were disappointing too, like something you'd get from any takeaway store. The lamb and saganaki (highly unlikely they make this from scratch so it's not like they can screw this up) was good, but not worth the money. We only ate here because four other places we tried to get into earlier were fully booked, and I can see why.
S. S.
We popped in for a drink and ended up having a quick bite. Duck liver with oyster mushroom, grilled octopus and also their green bean salad - amazing!! Flavors, taste, quality was brilliant. Putting this aside, the restaurant itself is beautiful, great vibes, cool tones. Felt like I was back in Monaco, very southern France! Customer service was also very welcoming. Looking forward to going back for a proper meal and drinkies!✨
Also, had their lamb rump and zucchini fries 🥰🥰
c.
Came here for brunch and the place was lovely. It’s packed right away. I love how they print the menu by the day because the date is written on it. Food was great but the service was a bit slow on that day which is understandable because it was busy. Great place to try and the staff were lovely
P.
The degustation was good value for money.
The vibe was good for a week day lunch.
Our waiter Sweeney was great as well and most accommodating.
The food, 5/5!
The only bind was the length of time it took between the main courses.
A. M.
Everything was wonderful! The setting was beautiful, the service was outstanding, and the cocktails are perfectly made. The food was made with love, by people who understand what people enjoy. It wasn’t about being pretentious but rather about being delicious. Loved it.
L. B.
Stunning setting and the space is artfully decorated! The food is good, although the menu is a bit limited, but still quite scrumptious! The coffee is really really nice and the staff are friendly and attentive! Next time just need to hit up the pool!
K. M.
Highly recommend. Such a beautiful space with the most lovely staff and the food was just divine. We had the $45 set menu and we all were blown away by the value and quality of the menu - generous serves and LOVED every course. Couldn't have had a more perfect end to our stay in Brisbane. Thank you so much to our lovely waitress who made the experience all the more special. Loved the greek music in the background - hilarious! Thank guys, will be back for sure.
T. N.
Beautiful, delicious Greek food with friendly and attentive staff. Get the banquet menu if you come in a group ($85 per person).
Love the veal dolmades, lamb, prawns and fried zucchinis especially. SO good! Really worth it!
B. S.
Delicious food, incredibly fresh making it the perfect spot to stop in summer. The greek salad is a must try as well as the dips!
J. W.
We had a large group without a booking and the staff were instantly ready and happy to help. Food came out fast, hot and tasted amazing. The cocktails were perfect.
T. M.
Delicious food and super friendly staff. Very accommodating to our multiple food allergies. A table by the pool is a must! Highly recommended
C. W.
Where to begin - the cocktails are amazing and the food is stunning (you won’t go home feeling hungry that’s for sure!)
The lamb was the best part but also the last course of the buffet menu.. make sure you leave enough room for it!
The bar staff are absolutely run off their feet and my one criticism would be that drinks took about 30minutes (forever!!) to arrive. I’d recommend ordering another when your last order comes to the table!
A great experience overall
C. R. M.
Done with a group of friends. Staff highly professional.Service excellent considering a busy Saturday lunchtime. Food: Very fresh. We ordered the banquet.Down part was very large portions, we ended up loosing appetite while it was the dessert time. Also the desert quality should meet up with the food. Then you deserve the extra star.
M. T.
Incredible! The food was THE BEST! We had the classic banquet which felt like about 23 courses. The food was divine but also in large share size portions. Amazing cocktails. Staff are always so friendly and helpful, while not doting on us excessively, just the perfect amount. Beautiful decor. Actually quite reasonably priced (approx $85 per head to eat like kings) considering the quality of food and drinks, decor, service, and overall experience. Would give it more than 5 stars if I could. Highly recommended!
G.
This place serves simple but PERFECT delicious meals. There are no weird and experimental items at all which suits me just fine. I had the lamb shoulder for a main and it was easily one of the best meals I’ve had in Brisbane. I will definitely be back for more. Service, decor, setting is all as expected and more from a fine dining experience. I can’t rate them highly enough.
P. K.
Very delicious and high quality food. I am impressed. Good customer service and very affordable price. Highly recommended the Greek Salad, Eggplant Moussaka and grilled lamb cutlet. They are absolutely amazing and cooked beautifully.
I will definitely go there again.
A. N.
3.5 stars - restaurant has nice ambiance and atmosphere as well as friendly service. The food however was quite overpowering with flavours that we couldn't finish any of the meals except for oysters. We tried the:
♡ grilled lamb ribs - meat was tender and falls off the bone easily. Some parts were dry but flavouring is nice but it does get quite salty
♡ Orzo pasta w/ spanner crab - super salty and there's not a lot of crab in it. Dish has nice texture tho
R. B.
My husband immigrated from Greece and we have spent a lot of time in Greece together over the years. This is the first restaurant in Brisbane that he (and myself) were impressed with the quality of the Greek food. If you closed your eyes you truly could believe you were in a good restaurant in Greece. Special mention to the Horta which is impossible to find here In Australia but they’ve managed to replicate it seamlessly. Service was also impeccable. Cannot speak highly enough of the staff! Great selection of ouzo served with plenty of ice which is definitely a must when eating all of that oily food. Love the fact that they had half serves as well which was perfect for hubby and I. We got to try more food! Worth every cent and will definitely return.
L. S. (.
I really liked the environment and the seating, and for a few short moments the decor made me feel like I was having a vacation in a foreign country. The service was very good. However the food was a bit too salty... Especially the rabbit. The zucchini chips were yummy but too oily... There was literally a pool of oil in the bowl.
G.
Pretentious and overpriced. Tries too hard, but doesn't deliver. To be frank, if I pay nearly $100 for a small-serve banquet, I expect the food to be memorably good and it was no better than I would create at home. Wait staff were efficient, personable but looked too stressed to be friendly. Wine list good.
Overall, had it not been for the great company I was in, this would have been a very ordinary experience. Would not recommend & will not return. Simply put, not value for money, lacks the warmth and sincerity characteristic of better Greek / Mediterranean restaurants.
D. K.
Hellenika has by far the best food, drinks and service in Australia. Drove up to Brisbane for a special birthday lunch and hellenika did not dissapoint, the food was flawless and all the wait staff were so friendly and attentive. The setting is great too. Huge thanks to the French waiter that helped us to celebrate 🍾
L. A.
Stayed at The Calile Hotel with Hellenika located directly underneath - great location for guests. The food & drinks were great, leaving me with a satisfied experience. However, staff service was inadequate for such a quality restaurant. Nevertheless, recommended for Calile guests & locals in the area.
B. K.
Great authentic tasting Greek food, quick service, but could do with a smile or two
A. R.
The majority of the people here were only interested in updating their Insta-story. It really was like walking into a casting call for MAFS or The Bachelor.
We were lucky enough to be sat in a both by the pool, the cocktails were delicious, though a little slow to arrive. The food is a mix of traditional and modern Greek.
N. H.
Food was average, I found some of them quite salty. The only highlight was the zuchini chips, tastes amazing. Service on the other hand, Erica, is nice and friendly.
N. (. S.
Starting my first 2021 post with Greek @hellenika where is located at @thecalilehotel.
We went there for lunch and sat by pool area. The highlight what we order is Zucchini chips. I do love vibe and service there but we just though the portion a bit small than we had expected. But overall experience is good here.
What we had:
🍞DIPS
taramosalata feta ke piperies fava
🥒KOLOKITHIA
the hellenika zucchini chips w kefalograviera
🍝KRITHARAKI
orzo pasta w fraser coast spanner crab
🐙HTAPODI
grilled sa octopus

P. Y.
Where to start, even after a mess up with our booking, the host didn't hesitate to give us drinks on the house. We were then seated by the pool which was relaxing as the music is soft and the mood is good.
After ordering our meals they were served promptly, so promptly that most of the times I forgot to take pictures of the dishes. It probably didn't help that the food was delicious and smelt so good, just like home. If you're expecting traditional Greek food, you'll definitely be satisfied. The dishes hold the traditional Greek taste with a slight twist that melts in your mouth er'rytime!
N. F.
Hellenika is located on the first floor of the Calile and has a simple, modern Greek decor. The menu is likewise simple, traditional Greek food, but quite tasty. I don't here for breakfast and was impressed by the flavours. They have some well priced breakfast options but note that the other half of the menu is on the expensive side for a breakfast dish. Staff were friendly and informed us upfront that we'd need to vacate the table at a certain time. The standout for us was the spanokopita - delicious and just the right size for breakfast.
S. Y.
Awesome quintessential Brisbane cool . From the moment you walk in the staff are welcoming you can tell they want to be there and are proud of there business and rightly so . The decor the food the price all spot on . Even the owner gives a hello when you walk past . A lot of little things executed well equals a beautiful dining experience . And the food is brilliant too . Fresh tasty just lovely .
On a random Thursday by 12:15 lunch the place is full of people laughing chatting and living life.
Nicely played Hellenika you do it well .
B. H.
Food Quality: 5 Stars
Service: 5 Stars
Atmosphere: 5 Stars
Phenomanal dining experience that goes above expectations in all areas.
Food is devine, and has flavour that makes you close your eyes and sit back in your chair as you explore every bite. I would recommend the seafood banquet, where they will bring out several courses one after the other taking you on a Greek journey and giving you plenty of time to pace yourself and enjoy the night.
Service is unparalleled, they will attend to everything timely and with a smile. It is apparent that this is important to them as they have an abundance of wait staff who move quickly through the venue and are all well trained to be friendly and attentive. The amount of greetings we received from when we arrived at the front desk to when we were taken to our tables was more than I'd heard all week. They all love to give a great experience and it's clear management has trained this in well.
The venue is gorgeous. It's very top-shelf, no expense spared. There is a pool just outside the restaurant, presumably for the guests of the hotel, but it does add a sense of vacation to the whole experience, as if you can leave everything behind you on the way in and just focus on enjoying the night.
B.
Wowzaaa. Was able to get a last minute table for Friday lunch and it was a very fancy and fulfilling afternoon! (I was very full). Got the basic banquet ($68) and it was nice. Not sure if completely worth the price... but you’re definitely stuffed after as the other review says there can be a bit of a wait between courses but I guess they’re still getting in the swing/ very busy. Food was yum, basic traditional Greek- nothing super special. Beautiful new space and decor, more of a social scene experience than one of outstanding food.
J. L. W.
Lovely food and atmosphere, however a bit overpriced. Service can be spotty depending on how busy it is. The fish main we had was excellent.
A. D. C.
The service is five star, the atmosphere is cool and relaxed, the food is fantastic. I will say, however, the octopus was really pricey. Everything else was well priced for what it was. Recommend zucchini chips. Taste sensation!
A. J.
Beautiful decor and a nice atmosphere, overall felt very opulent. Overall the staff were friendly and attentive. The food came out efficiently and serving sizes were reasonable. We had 3 smaller dishes and 1 large dish and this was more than enough for 2 people. The commentary soup appetiser was amazing and packed with flavour. The taramasalata was enjoyable, and the saganaki was pleasant, although would have been more impressive if it came out streaming hot. The Moussaka looked delicious and was tasty. The spicy sausage was the only dish I didn't really enjoy. I'd visit again to try a few of the other dishes.
B. s.
Delicious high quality cuisine. Have dined here several times and have always enjoyed the experience. However last night was a glorious spring evening and I do not understand why it is necessary to have the air conditioning so cold. Please can this be a consideration for the comfort of diners.

We'd driven from Burleigh Heads and had time for a quick lunch before returning our rental car. We were soon seated on the pool deck with cold water while we checked the menus
The Fresh Fish Market menu had a good range of species and preparation styles. We ordered the raw Kingfish [$28], a generous serve of exquisite fish
Next, we settled on grilled Kalamari [$34] with a half-serve of Marouli [$14] - baby gem lettuce with kefalotiri cheese - great combination - tasty squid with a light smokiness from the grill and a delicately-dressed, crunchy salad
Wonderful food, drinks and service!
N. R.
The food was excellent and in very large portions on the Banquet. Service ok.
The cocktails are extremely poor in comparison to other restaurants/bars that should provide premium cocktails. Dr Gimlets for example, charges equal prices for cocktails that are much better. If I could rate the cocktails a 2.5-3 I would do so. Are 4 - 5 rating overall is probably fair but in fact if the drinks were considered, it would be lower. I’d think that Hellenika would be aiming higher than a 4
b. r.
Delicious, fresh, traditional Greek food!
Amazing portions!
Everything was absolutely amazing
Staff were so friendly! We had Stephanie looking after us and couldn't have been happier!
Beautiful location at the Calile hotel
N. G.
Really great restaurant. Loved the simple Greek food of the fried anchovies, fried saganaki, moussaka, Greek salad, galaktoboureko and rice pudding.
The 2018 Ktima Gerovassiliou malagousia wine was also exceptional. The staff are also really great.
Finally if you have the opportunity, eat beside the pool. It is a great experience. This restaurant comes recommended!
M. E.
I was here for dinner in a large group. The service was fantastic! The food, despite some being interesting, provided a large variety of traditional Greek flavours. I would definitely recommend share platters if that is an option. Overall a fantastic night.
N. L.
Modern Greek food done so well.
Situated in the beautiful Calile Hotel on James Street, Hellenika is a lively and exciting restaurant to enjoy Greek food.
Service is very friendly and knowledgeable.
Food is exceptional. Just feast your eyes on the pictures. Yes they do taste as well as it looks.
H. N.
I really quite liked the relaxed and modern fit out of the restaurant minus the staff uniform. What’s with the cheap pink blazer? It’s in the middle of summer, you don’t need to wear a blazer. I feel sorry for staff. As for the food- it was lovely and simple. Maybe a bit too simple (photo of the watermelon dessert). Service was great though so we tipped our waiter of course.
K. K.
amazing location for photos.
However would not recommend going for breakfast. very basic menu and the quantity of food was not good considering the price $$. I had reserved a table a month in advance and on the day of my booking when I arrived, the lady rudely told me it wasn’t available even after I said I specifically ordered it earlier so I could have the table. Service could definitely be improved.
A. B.
The vegan Eggplant Mousakka was perhaps the most amazing dish I've had this year.
The lemon and sage soup amuse bouche stood tall as well. My only photo was a plate of tender melt off the bone Arni Sti Schara (lamb ribs).
Wonderful service with a very strong wine by the glass selection topped off a great night.
W.
I took my girlfriend there on Sunday night for dinner. It was really nice and relaxing sitting by the pool side. We had 300g ocean trout with salata me fasolakia salad, and ceviche daily special. Each dish tasted so amazing. However, the serving size was really small. For dessert, we had traditional Greek dessert Galaktoboureko. It was really good. I highly recommend that dessert.
K. A.
Very nice vibe and location, so with visiting for this. Food is tasty- would recommend the sardines on toast. However very busy so not the best service. Long time to take order, coffee came spilt on the saucer and a half filled glass of orange juice is $10!
M. Q.
Hard to believe you can put more class into James St, and Hellenika does it. The team is very knowledgeable and friendly; the food is amazing. I don't know authentic from deconstructed and I know this is the best Greek cuisine I have been blessed to share with some loved ones.
G. N.
Dinner at Hellenika Saturday night was a lovely experience . Dinner by the pool on a cool Spring evening was the highlight, Dj playing upbeat music in the background set the ambience for a relaxing time.
The food was enjoyable and tasty, the baked feta and red pepper dish delighted the taste buds and washed down with our cocktails Santorini Sling.
I gave 4 stars only on the basis that the out door seating (slatted chairs) where very uncomfortable and by the end of the night we could not wait to get up and go for a walk. (Maybe consider for your night time diners some cushions)??
Once again Brisbane has come a long way in the food scene 😍
G. S.
Had a banquet lunch on Friday and at $85 per head it was good value. Food was very good and service also. Not so good for wine though, outrageously expensive. We wanted a Yering Pinot Noir which is generally around $35 at the bottle shop. They have it at $225 a bottle! That is simply extortion and should not be allowed. By all means go for the food but be careful if ordering wine
C.
Never had a bad meal or experience. This is one of our go-to spots, and luckily for us it’s local! Definitely try the grilled octopus, the Greek salad is always fresh, and the spanikopita and souvlakia are spot on. The owner is also lovely, as are the staff!
G. P. M.
A respectable establishment for all the right reasons. Hellenika at the Calile provides exquisite food accompanied by a California-esc atmosphere. The staff welcome you with open arms and make you feel right at home, providing you with samples of food prior to you ordering. On the specific night that I went, I was offered with a lemon and fish soup, delightfully strong and palette cleansing. You are assigned a personal waiter to attend to your table, providing a personable experience. The food, especially the fish, was rich with flavour. The fish specifically melted in your mouth, demonstrating the attention to detail in the all encompassing cooking process. As for the rest of the food, it was much the same, exhibiting Greek culture with a slight modern, superlative twist.
Unfortunately, by no mistake of anyone specific, my reusable mask was removed from my table, obviously resembling a rag or napkin of sorts, with these provisions being replaced throughout the night. This led me to being mask less upon exiting the restaurant, which was against public health directives as of writing this review, although this hiccup wasn't detrimental to my stay. However, I digress, the overall experience was superior to most restaurants in Brisbane and I will definitely be attending again.

Lovely place to have a Thursday night dinner. Went with my wife on our weekly date night. Amazing food, maybe a bit too hip for some people with the average age spread between 18 and 55.
Giving 4 instead of 5 stars as we were sitting very close to the bar area, which meant a lot of people were constantly walking past our table.
S. E.
Great fit out of the restaurant
Amazing cocktails
Friendly staff
However we ordered the seafood banquet and both the calamari and prawns were over cooked.
First 3 courses came out very fast (whilst still eating the previous course) then thereafter there was long waits between courses
K. L.
Hellenika is always an experience. The staff wearing pink blazer look professional yet trendy and theyre very attentive and warm. it was busy and it can be a great place for you if you dont mind the close spacing between tables . since the table is in a relative small space , it can be a bit loud with all the talking but it's okay. I love the vibe. the bathroom is so clean and well-kept plus the food is very tasty. Waiting isnt too long and the staff is constantly refilling your glass with water. price is mid range to expensive but it's worth it. Should you have food allergy and diet specifications, theyd be happy to listen and help you with your suggestion . they even gave us a complimentary greek soup and we thought it was nice considering we went to a busy time on a Sunday .
I love "people watching " in this place too because the patrons and customers are very chic ♥️
Y. N. R.
still think this is up there with top 3 greek restaurants in bris. its current 4.3 stars doesnt accurately reflect this restaurant imo. breakfast was average here but the dinners have always been excellent. service has been good and the mediterranean fit out tops it off. great for weekends lunches. id place it on the top bris restaurant list and would recommend.
A. S.
Love love Hellenika! The pita bread (in photo) and dip are a fantastic starter.
Freaking love the pastistio(in photo) - it's so filling and homely, fasolakia (not in photo) is fresh and crunchy and the galaktaboureko (not in photo) is not too sweet - just perfect!
Great cocktails, good vibes!
D. N.
Upon arrival the restaurant is gorgeous, feels high end while being affordable. The food was delicious, me and my partner struggled to decide what to eat because it all sounded good. Our server was also really great, she was attentive and spent time with us explaining dishes the menu and certain dishes. Overall great experience and we will be back to try the rest of the menu!
P. B.
Nice place! Service is really average for what they charge.
The calamari was a little bit salty.
Drinks took ages to arrive even on a quiet night.
G. B.
Nice restaurant, but mostly overpriced, I wanted to have a fish dish, but I’m not prepared to pay $60 for a single dish, Some were even more. So I opted for the lamb shoulder special $35, which was okay, but nothing special, also vegetables were needed, another $10. My friend had the vegetable pie which was very nice. The dessert was nice but nothing special. The service was good, an inside table was nothing special, outside seemed much nicer.
O.
Absolutely love Hellenika. Beautiful atmosphere and always get great service. Daniel has been my absolute favourite waiter, we loved his unique and witty personality!
T. A.
Really good service and the venue is absolutely amazing, whilst it's quite expensive this is what you'd expect on james street. Well worth the price and an ABSOLUTE must try is the Zucchini chips, 10/10 amazing.
H. H.
Really cool place, great food. Bit expensive but you definitely pay for quality. Byron was awesome as well, thanks for your service!
R. M.
Delicious, intense flavors, dishes suitable to share and have the opportunity to taste everything. great service. Amazing 🤩🤩👌🥰
D. F.
The service started off fantastic but sad to say went downhill from here.
We were asked to pay our bill at around 1030 and hadn't even finished our drinks.
We thought they must of been closing and when one of the guests that was with us asked her response was no we close late but try to clear the area around the pool.
This will certainly be the last time we will be bringing interstate friends to this establishment.
J. C.
A great spot for some cocktail by the pool! So many amazing plates on the menu. I will definitely be back.
A.
My partner and I both thought Hellenika was only okay. Our opinion weighs up the flavour, portions, service and cost. We were pretty unimpressed with the flavour of our two large plates, especially the $48 bug spaghetti, though the portions were good. We found the bug dish was mediocre at best. When I gave the waiter my honest feedback, he kind of shrugged and said “you should’ve gone with my suggestions”. Be that as it may, I think all meals should be meticulously created to be delicious and titillating at a restaurant of this supposed caliber. We did enjoy our dessert. But unfortunately, we think we were paying for the location/ prestige than the actual dining experience. The atmosphere inside is lovely and its elegant and the ladies at the front were very helpful. However, the rest of our experience was only okay, and actually subpar when it came to the waiter, who also forgot my partners wine (which he ordered well before my flavourless cocktail that I didn’t finish), and then they tried to charge us for a bottle of wine instead of just a glass.
M. F.
Hellenika never disappoints. The cocktails are delicious and the food is exquisite, you have to try the moussaka, the octopus and white anchovies to mention a few. The service is great too, not many restaurants in Australia have this level of service. It is always a pleasant visit
K. D.
Absolutely love this restaurant. Is a great asset to the Brisbane food scene. The service is impeccable, food is totally delicious and ambience excellent.
A couple of favorite menu items - blue eye trevalla with w caramelized onion, tomato, olives & capers was the best fish I have even eaten. Must also order a side of zucchini chips! Very addictive and delicious.
Only downside is the place is so busy the tables are turned over quickly and you need to leave before you are ready to accommodate the next patrons. If you have room left after a yummy dinner, highly recommend Gelato Messina next door for dessert.
K. M.
Just as good as the original Gold Coast branch. We ordered the Welcome Banquet and couldn’t even finish it as there was so much food.

Recently dined with a small group of friends based on a recommendation and was not disappointed.
Atmosphere was lively and warm with good service and the food was excellent. Given the huge number of options on the menu, we opted for the standard banquet menu which I can highly recommend. Highlights being the lamb shoulder, calamari, the dips and the dessert.
Unless you are after a quieter atmosphere for a business dinner, I’d definitely recommend Hellenika.

This place has an awesome vibe, just very aesthetic and a great atmosphere. Service was also very good and food came out pretty fast. For the food, we got the welcome banquet and I would highly recommend it, especially the lame and potato dish, and the baked cheese thing was heavenly. Also the sauces and dips that came out with everything were also amazing. The cost of the banquet is a little dear but about what you'd expect for the quality. Portion sizes were decent, I felt very full after the banquet. Drinks were expensive but also worth it.

I’ve been visiting Hellenika for the last 15years back when it was a grubby little place in Nobby Beach on the Good Coast, the food was superb and had a great local following before it transformed into the arguably over-rated restaurant it is now, I think a lot of the entitled attitudes of a lot of the staff is due to having to put up with a lot of the younger ‘influencers’ and pretenders that the hotel pumps through the doors during busy ‘drinking periods’. Nonetheless the service overall is quite good, the food hasn’t lost its delicious taste, it would be nice if they hid a lot of the distasteful roidheads and barbie influencers around the back so the rest of society can enjoy the otherwise relaxing and opulent atmosphere. I was a little disappointed with the lack of social distancing at my visit last evening - there were well over 100 people, tucked rather closely together. There was little concern for other diner’s health from this regard and I really thought this should have been done without patrons having to mention this to staff in the interests of filling up. Other restaurants are following social distancing, I see no exception just because of higher prices. Anyway, I’ll continue my visits but hope management keep customer’s healthy in higher regard than making money from them. PS I’ve made over 100 visits to this restaurant.

Review is for Coffee ☕️
If Signe on the coffee machine you are in luck!! My coffee order is a pain, I apologise before ordering and Signe makes it perfectly every time.
The vibe here is great relaxing music 🎶 comfortable seating and location is great for watching the colours of James st pass by.
M. H.
This place was absolutely fantastic! From the moment you walk in, not only is it a beautiful setting but every single staff member you walk past on the way to your table says hello and is happy to see you. Also, the music is great (important for me!)
A big thank you to Connor who was a fantastic waiter who was already doing an amazing job, but they brought out a dessert on the house. If I could give more than 5 stars I would! We will be back!

Ms sister took me to dinner here as a treat. Sis asked the Maîtresse d'hôtel for a "gorgeous table" and bless her she gave us a really good one overlooking the swimming pool. The service was exceptional -- discreet and friendly and helpful without being annoying or obsequious. The food was of extraordinary quality. I've never had a taramosalata so pale and with such a subtle taste that lacked the raspy fishiness that this dish can typically have. We shared everything including the Loukanika and Cypriot meatballs which were delicious. We had some wilted greens, and crispy fried anchovies and saganaki. The biggest surprise were the zucchini chips. They had a batter reminiscent of tempura and tasted beautiful and light and crispy and no hint of greasiness. I couldn't get enough of them. It was a great meal and a lovely atmosphere. Something I liked about the restaurant is that although a meal here can be pricey depending on what you order, the clientele are very relaxed and there was a mix of people who'd dressed up, some who'd come from work in business attire and others who were your regular Brisbane trakky daks and shorts brigade. It's pretty heavenly to dine on such lovely food outside under the stars and even the soundtrack was carefully chosen stylish tunes. Sis and I looked at the banquet menu but weren't sold on it. For the same price as two banquet menus, we got to order all the dishes of our choosing, a glass of sparkling wine and pinot noir respectively and endless sparkling mineral water. A good feed, a little wine and lovely ambience. $150 all up. I can't afford to dine here all the time but I'm already wondering how soon I can come back.
N. K.
Great for drinks after work but its quite small and popular so make sure you book first.
J. B.
Love the place and a vibe, and must say service was absolutely amazing.
My friend was vegan and they accommodated her requests for food a cocktail without any restrictions.
Definitely be back again
K. C.
We booked here for Xmas eve dinner with 5 others expecting to indulge on a special night out.
We heard and saw great things from friends and online stories of many enjoying this place but I can't say our experience was what we expected.
But firstly can I just say the location is stunning and buzzing with people.
We chose the classic banquet menu ($85pp) to suprise ourselves and keep the ordering simple. Our host came to our table 3 times in the space of 5 min. She was lovely but we couldn't help but to feel slightly rushed which I can appreciate if we were taking in excess of 15-20min but we had only just sat down..
The food unfortunately was the main let down. The lamb dish was great! But after all the breads dips zucchini chips calamari salad and whole fish that 2x of us almost swallowed a bone after being told it was boned was fed to us, we couldn't quite enjoy the star of the show (the lamb) because we were all so full.
The taste of food is always subjective so please try this place for yourself before passing any judgement..
Our beer wine and cocktails were great!
We will return for more of a cocktails and snacks event rather than a dinner event in future.
C. B.
Fantastic Greek and Cypriot food, modern decor, great service. At a time when it is difficult to make a customer feel welcome, comfortable, safe, well fed and happy that is exactly how this restaurant made us feel. Superb! #Hellenikaatthecalile
W. M.
Four previous visits were most enjoyable. On Saturday it seemed the chef had changed. The wonderful zucchini chips were now encased in a too thick, too oily batter. Too much bechamel sauce and cheese on the vegetarian moussaka.
The Greek Salad however, was excellent. Too noisy for older patrons. Go during the week!
K. D.
We had a fabulous evening at Hellenika, celebrating my birthday. The food was divine, the atmosphere was chic yet romantic, and the service was impeccable. A special shout out to our waiter, Gabe, whose warm and attentive service made the night even more enjoyable. Thank you, Hellenika!
M. T.
Amazing Greek salad!! And a beautiful place to have lunch :) wine choices were really good too.
L. J.
We enjoyed Hellenika as the staff were friendly and our food came out quickly. The grilled octopus was excellent. Couple of minor things, the food is quite salty and one of the meatballs was mostly fat to the point we couldn't eat it (the other 3 were good). They really sting you on the excessive mark up on wine too. We paid $75 for a $19 bottle of wine.
I.
Had a lovely night for our EOFY party tonight and our waitress was fantastic. Thanks for the Absinthe and great atmosphere.
If you're looking for a poolside drinks sesh with great friends with a classy vibe then this is the place for you. Try yet a booth next to the pool for the best environment.
M.
We dined here yesterday for Mother's day with my mum, sisters and our daughters. My review is for the wonderful service we received from our waiter Patrick Jayson. He was very attentiive, always available when we needed something and always had a smile on his face. He is an asset to your restaurant. Thank you Patrick!
J. O.
Absolute delight. The amazing manager David recommended the entree of raw fish which was exquisite. Service was phenomenal
s.
After reading all about the hype of “Hellenika” in the Calile Hotel, expectations were extremely high. No doubt the architecture and design of the building were as beautiful as expected however the dining experience in itself was rather a huge let down. Our waiter for the evening was probably one of the only great things from our evening however a few of the other serving staff members were severely undertrained and rude. The food was mediocre and would’ve been acceptable maybe at a fast food stall or suburban cafe, but if you’re going to class it as fine dining, charging the prices you are charging - I laugh at that idea alone. Presentation was thoroughly disappointing followed by the added disappointing taste of salt and salt only. Last but not least, the cocktails were very ordinary especially for the $22+ price tag. Safe to say Hellenika isn’t a venue I’d be rushing to return to and I’m sure I speak for a few people when I say that it’s obvious the place is more about the hype and Instagram reputation than it is for quality and good service.
A. N.
I’ve been to Hellenika 5 times now, and I’m finding the table service continues to decline in attention and quality. I was there with two other people at the pool side, and I must have been served by at least a dozen different staff members over the 2 hours I was there. The staff seemed disorganised and scattered with poor communication between each other. We went periods of being asked one after the other and then no one at all. We had to constantly ask for drinks and water since our wine was kept away from us. Overall, the food was enjoyable, but the service experience and waiting times was less than pleasant for a Saturday afternoon.
I understand that weekends can be busy, and staff are caught up, but the way staff were disorganised seemed to add to the problem in comparison to other restaurants.
M. D.
Some food was very salty, the portions were all good. all over the food was average ,expensive.But the service was excellent.
P. J.
Delicious food, prompt service as always and very accommodating for allergies. Corbin was our waiter this evening and an excellent one at that. Perfect service and a lovely manner. Thanks!!
m. z. p.
One of my favourite places to eat. Love the shared menu.... Banquet is generous and the desserts are a perfect finish to a meal. Whether its breakfast lunch or dinner, definitely the place to have a meal in Brisbane
I. G.
A beautiful restaurant serving exquisite food. Highly recommend the moreton bay bug spaghetti, grilled peppers, taramasalata and zucchini chips. Great cocktail selection too
J. M.
Great zucchini chips. We also had the grilled lamb ($38) , very tender, good spices but ordinary sauce, good grilled flavour (but after a while it becomes too much). If I went back I would order the zucchini chips again and try the moussaka or spanakopita.
M. B.
Poolside dinning, fancy and entertaining vibes. Recommend to try the banquet ($85pp) and taste the variety. Lamb shoulder and King George Fish were very nice. The Fix beer is a Greek pale ale, if you like pale ale with a sense of sweetness give it a try.
S. H.
excellent greek cuisine with exotic vibes, definitely coming back
c. b.
Amazing food and service! The fit out was beautiful and the cocktail list was very impressive and delicious. Our way to Kosta was on point all night very happy with her experience thank you
C. H.
Have had incredible dinners here with friends every time! It is such a cool modern vibe both for daytime and night time. Service is excellent and the food is just faultless. My favorites are the taramosalata dip with pita, grilled octopus, baked lamb and the beef shin pasta. The chocolate and olive oil tart is also a must! I am always overfull after dinner because everything is just so delicious
D. E.
Excellent food, ambience and service throughout the evening we spent here. We enjoyed a varied selection of food from the menu, all of which was excellent! The zucchini chips are a bit of a must! We took a punt on trying some Greek wine which was particularly enjoyable too!
A. S.
Went there for my birthday yesterday. Location and staff were great, but food was rather disappointing. Ordered souvlaki, the bug pasta and pita bread with the feta capsicum dip. Pita bread and dip were nice but definitely not worth $26, pasta was served almost cold and the chicken souvlaki seemed a bit undercooked. Recommend for drinks by the pool area outside but there are better Greek restaurants in Brisbane.
S. D.
The atmosphere was gorgeous, and we felt very spoilt and pampered by the staff; they were very observant, fast, friendly and graceful. The food was amazing and the overall experience was beautiful. Thanks heaps for a stunning evening!
B. G.
Just had a beautiful dinner here for Father’s Day and the staff were so attentive with our baby daughter. Zucchini chips are awesome 🤤
N. S.
Excellent food and service! Our favourite spot to visit in Brisbane for breakfast & lunch. My partner and I were looked after by a young woman named Tiarna and we were very impressed by her attentiveness. We’ll be back!
A. M.
I loved the food and the service! The Spanish waitress with glasses was phenomenal!
One thing I believe it requires improvement are the desserts in the banquet. They felt a bit simple. And the watermelon was tasteless.
I'm not a lamb eater but everyone in my table was raving about this dish. The meat was falling of the bone
M. B.
Food was ok but not worth the prices. Only ordered 3 things and 1 of the things was forgotten.
D. L.
Amazing experience, fresh beautifully prepared food. We had the classic banquet and it was so lovely. Definitely coming back. If you like Greek food this place is a must.
A. S.
Phenomenal food, beautiful atmosphere, and very friendly and accommodating staff. Definitely pick a variety of things from the menu, but heed their warning: the portion sizes are definitely that big!
K. H.
Absolutely devine. The atmosphere was gorgeous poolside and felt like we were on vacation. The food was sensational. However, one of the mains never came and we were charged for it. Hopefully we can try it next time we visit.
Y.
Great atmosphere and service. Good selection of wines. In terms of food I found lights and shadows: We ordered taramosalata, very good; however the fish taste was too subtle for me. Then fish, we ordered scallops and grilled octopus. Definitely presentation of the plates and the outcome of the dishes was really poor for both of them, not bad, but just poor. Finally, we ordered lamb and greek salad. Both incredibly good in texture (melting for the lamb, very fresh for the veggies) and went so well together. Great experience overall. This big dinner with some wine, dessert and coffee was 200$ per person aproximately.
G. L.
A delicious day in a beautiful location. Made even better by the incredible waitstaff that made us feel so welcome. David in particular went above and beyond with the hospitality and was a true delight - he is an wonderful asset to the team and we can't wait to come back!
m.
Absolutely top notch in every respect. All saff were amazing and that is a credit to Simon. We had the welcome banquet. With all of the dishes brought to the table, it's hard to imagine that ALL of the different types of food was absolutely 100%. We had 10 people at our table and all if us had the same opinion.
I absolutely recommend this restaurant.
L. N.
We had our staff Christmas party at Hellenika this week. After reading many negative reviews, we were a bit hesitant to book this restaurant, but thought we'd give a go and make up our own minds. The food was great, the wait staff (in particular Lizzy) were on point, the whole place had a lovely vibe and the actual decor of the restaurant was beautiful. When we arrived, we were seated at one of the outside tables. As nice as it was near the pool, it was a bit hot (35 deg heat), so we asked if there were any tables inside in the airconditioning. Not a problem at all ... we were quickly seated in the cool. Our lovely waitress, Lizzy, approached us promptly, introduced herself and really looked after us for the duration of our stay (approximately 3.5 hours). I would gladly recommend this restaurant for a casual day gathering. It was absolutely perfect for us and I can't wait to dine there at night with just my husband :) Well done guys!!
T. K.
So many dishes here to recommend. Attentive staff, great atmosphere and view.
Easily accessible venue with parking underneath.
A favourite of mine and repeatable for sure.
M. L.
Nice Place in the valley. Good Greek inspired food at a nice place. Only that it is a bit noisy as it is quite crowded.
R. F.
This is my favourite place to eat in Brisbane! The service is great, the wine list is fantastic! The food is always so fresh and great sizing too. Not to mention how beautiful the setting is.
P. S.
Food was very good, service was excellent. However $12.00 for ONE can of COKE. Outrageous
Y. C.
Visited Hellenika as part of a work dinner.
Staff were friendly and atmosphere were great.
We ordered a variety of mezedes and large plates. My favourite was the eggplant moussaka. The way the eggplant absorbs the sauces is absolutely amazing.
Saganaki was something I didn't realise I would enjoy. I don't eat a lot of cheese but the saganaki is grilled perfectly.
M. L.
I feel as if l should rate it more but the food just wasn't WOW! BUT considering everyone in the kitchen has an average age of 18 :-maybe ??
Greek food is humble honest and proud. Its not hard to miss the mark.
C. F.
I was here for dinner Thursday night, 6 November. I rang in advance to ask if I was able to bring a birthday cake to be presented after dinner, no problems at all. Half of our party was nearly an hour late due to a delayed flight and the waiter was patient and calm the whole time. We also had a beautiful 9 month old baby with us which the staff were very accommodating with. The food was great and the staff continued to be cheerful, easy going and helpful, was pleasantly surprised and really impressed!
S. J.
Have been to Hellenika twice now. Once for dinner and this time for brunch. The location and decor is beautiful and the food is brilliant however the waitstaff always seem untrained or disinterested and sometimes quite rude. Maybe there are not enough staff on for them to sufficiently wait the tables?
My friend ordered her own meal today and also a second dish (to share -discussed between the table before the waitress arrived to take our order) and the waitress screwed up her face and asked her "if she was really that hungry" I don't see why it's her business what people want to order. I asked for a drinks list when our meals arrived and I finally recieved it by the time I had finished my meal some 15 minutes later.
Waitstaff that are trained to match the calibre of the establishment that Hellenika at The Calile are trying to portray would really elevate the whole experience in my opinion.
A. D.
Great cafe with lots of interesting options for breakfast around the pool. Staff are attentive and friendly. Very relaxing
G. W.
Food was great but rushed and a bottle of wine was refused due to time restrictions again.
a.
Great food, service is fine (neither amazing or unsatisfactory) and price on the higher side. Treat your SO, in-laws or side pieces to a delicious meal, they won't be disappointed.
J. W.
Visited on a Friday night to celebrate a friends birthday. Beautiful venue with great service! Good menu - on the pricey side, but would recommend sharing a few dishes at your table.
S. M.
Has to be almost the hottest place in town, at the minute, and lunchtime Friday it was packed and pumping. Maybe Howard Smith Wharves challenges for trendiest, but, whatever, Hellenika is seriously popular. Bit too busy to get a feel for what the place looks like, as it’s pretty squeezy, but the fashionable pink and pale decor looks great. The limited food we had due to time constraints was good, and the staff, fine, but they were too busy to actually do more than take your order and present your bill - no time to discuss/explain, but as the menu is pretty straightforward, I suppose such finesse is not a requirement. Perhaps the atmosphere at night is different, but although we enjoyed our lunch, it felt a bit too much like a Bali Beach Club to us, so doubt we would return. But it’s fun, and good, simple Greek fare.
J. M.
Awesome food, great staff, nice atmosphere. A little pricey but definitely worth it.
A. O.
Great location and a really nice restaurant. It serves the pool area at the Calile as well. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. The service at dinner seems to be better and more efficient. Breakfast we found was a bit hit and miss especially when busy. Make sure you book for for any time but breakfast especially, as they do get busy on weekends, especially if a larger group. The food is traditional Greek food and well done but relatively oily, the zucchini fritters especially, although they are very tasty.
T. F.
Incredible crab omellette. Vibe, staff and locale - 5 star
M. B.
Almost every dish in the banquet was excellent. Save space for the lamb and potatoes! Dishes came out with good timing and we all left full. The service was really nowhere near what a place of this reputation and price deserves. It was slow, I had to stand up and ask a waiter to take our drink order after we were seated and waited for at least ten minutes. This continued throughout. They have a lot of work to do to bring the service up to the level expected from a place like this and the quality of the food. You should leave talking about the food but instead we were all shaking our heads at the amateur service.
G. C.
Very poor breakfast there today.There was 6 of us. They couldn't deliver the breakfast meals together and one wasn't what we ordered. Meals came out in 4 separate drops. The $18 fruit platter was grossly overpriced seeing that the platter consisted mainly of 4 watermelon slices.Disapponted as we spent $220 for it.
M. D.
Food was awesome, service was great and it is a great setting.
D. T.
If you love Greek food this place is good. Fast friendly service nice atmosphere. Very busy place best to book in advance.
e. p.
Absolutely fantastic day out, dining in the sunshine by the pool.
A special thank you to our waiter, David. He is honestly the reason for my 5 star review. What an absolute delight he is, and such an asset to the Hellenika team!
K. V.
After a rocky start (ordered a sparkling water in the foyer, which took about an hour to arrive), everything improved after that. Food was lovely and once the staff were aware of my gluten intolerance, went to great lengths to make sure that everything I ate was gluten free. Table service was attentive, glasses kept full. We ordered the banquet which had plenty of food and variety. Unique venue. Will definitely return.
t. h.
Reading any negative reviews on this venue, confirms those reviewers clueless. Finally, an atmosphere that has the ambiance and sophistication, that us Australian's have to fly to. The food of exceptional standard- Best quality Australian seafoods and not cutting corners with rubbish imports. Management and Staff world class, impeccably presented in their gorgeous pink. The design of the building cool. All is sensational
B.
We had an amazing experience today!
Great service, food! Calamari & greek salad to die for! Thank You!
C.
Yummy souvlakia. Presumably good drinks. But it’s hard to tell when EVERY SINGLE TIME you place an order, sitting poolside directly next to the pool, the waitresses wonder around aimlessly with your drinks for 10 minutes in 34 degree heat because they have no idea which chairs placed the order.
Honestly guys, train your people. Put a number on the chairs like you have on the cabanas. Food good, but for this category hotel the service is not nearly good enough.
J. M.
Beautiful food. Great 5* quality service. Not the usual option for Greek food but worth the price. Good cocktail menu!
M. W.
Went on a cute first date with my coworker, just booked for casual seating but they surprised us by seating us next to the pool. You couldn't even explain how good the food was. Will be a memory I cherish, thank u
S. H.
Very popular. Food and service was excellent. We had to use our back lights on the mobile to read the menus. Some guests were very noisy
S. B.
Fantastic food and super service. Oh and an absolutely perfect venue
V. W.
Good venue and nice staff. The ambience is lovely. We have found the food to be hit and miss. We may give it another go.
S. J.
Everything mouthful of each dish and drink was perfect. The service is impeccable. Cant wait to go back and try more of the menu.
L. H.
Had a light lunch here. Calamari came with no sauce. Waitress claimed there was no suitable sauce (hard to believe as this is a hotel), was offered taramasalata, or tzatziki, but that never arrived, except on our bill.
K. O.
The Calile hotel is aesthetically beautiful (I really hope they maintain this place as I think the exterior could weather quite poorly). Ive been the Calile hotel hellenika restaurant twice now for dinner, once I went just with my partner and we ordered a few things off the menu to share but actually didn't really enjoy the experience (we are the blame ordering pasta at a Greek restaurant - but the service and ambience was great), however I went back more recently and had the banquet option with a large group of friends and it was phenomenal. We had such a large selection of delicious food and it was incredible - the staff were super lovely and attentive, ambience was great and of course did I mention how great the food was. After we finished our meals we went and sat outside by the pool and served some more drinks. Although we were outside the staff made every effort to make sure they were around when we were ready to order. It's a truly picturesque view with the pool and palm trees. I strongly recommend visiting the Calile hotel, eating the banquet and having a few cocktails by the pool and palm trees at hellenika :)
M. S.
Can not fault! The most incredible and authentic food. It felt as if we were eating in Greece, also the setting is stunning. 10/10.
C. B.
Had a lovely experience dining at Hellenika.
Louise our waitress was wonderful, extremely attentive and personable service, the kind that makes you go back to a place.
All our food was beautiful, full of fresh flavours and presented simply so all the ingredients shone through.
Our cocktails were delicious and the general feel from all the staff including the chefs smiling from the kitchen really created a fun and lively dining atmosphere.
Thanks Louise!
H. T.
The fish was fantastically cooked, the service very professional. We came with our four year old and they served his fish almost immediately rather then making him wait for ours which was great. The only thing that was not good was the char grilled calamari that was served cold and very chewy. We will definitely be back .
R. M.
From the moment you step into Hotel Calile you could be anywhere in Europe. From the moment we arrived at the restaurant Hellenika, we were looked after. The venue is fantastic, great menu and wine list, food is excellent, we had a french waiter who was awesome and the atmosphere and music was just the cherry on top. Cant fault this place. Will be back for sure but I advise to book a table rather than just rocking up....they are busy!
H. C.
Fantastic place for dinner and drinks. The waitress was very attentive and helpful, providing heaps of vegan suggestions to cater for me. The design is also awesome, we were sitting poolside on a Tuesday evening and it was bliss.
P. A.
Absolutely fantastic. Staff are just amazing. Food brilliant. First time but can't wait for the next!
M. M.
Great food. Well worth the visit. Had to take an early booking as that was the only available one. Says it all. Wine list was pricey but the cheapest wine on the list $45 was a Greek one. And it was soo good. Worth the price. Zucchini chips are a must. Even the kids loved them. They wondered how could you make zucchini taste so good?? Worth the trip . Visiting from Sydney
L. O.
Lovely atmosphere and fairly attentive though standoffish staff. We had the welcome banquet and it was...... nice. No better or worse than various other Greek restaurants around Brisbane.
S. H. L.
Best place to take your friend out of Brisbane!!!!
Highly recommend this place to everyone.
I visited this place recently as my sister in law was getting married and I wanted to buy them a really nice meal. From booking to the interior to the foods and wines, everything was so perfect.
It was first time having a proper Greek food and I found all the dishes little too salty for me. However, my wife found it okay, so I guess it's just a personal thing. Overall the presentation were great and they were all tasty. We had lite lunch banquet and ordered Zuchinni fries and a bottle of white wine on top - and the portion was just right.
If you don't want a full on meal, I would strongly recommend just having the Zuchinni fries and a glass of white wine each on a hot sunny day.
I want to specially say thanks to Stephany, the waitress who served us and the sommelier who recommended us a great wine. The owner should give them a pay rise as they are making the whole experience more pleasant. It was absolutely memorable. Thanks
N. l.
Great place for breakfast on a Sunday morning. Great atmosphere throughout the restaurant. Both resturant and hotel have a very appealing aesthetic. Very friendly staff that were noticeably attentive and very friendly. Ordered the crab omelette which tasted delicious and was an adequately size. Slightly over priced in my opinion given it only comes with the omelette, no toast or anything like that. But sides can be ordered. Would highly recommend for breakfast and lunch
A. F.
Such an elegant space, with solid professional service. I visited with a group of about 12, which we chose the banquet. The food was fabulous, rustic with refinement in the right places. They staff handled a couple of the groups dietary restrictions without fuss and whilst we ate everything thing that came out, everyone was bursting at the seams. I would highly recommend and can't wait to return for a more à la carte experience.
E. S.
Beautiful setting, beautiful restaurant and beautiful people... But all so vapid. We were looked up and down and initially refused seating because of the supposedly limited seating. Spoiler alert there where heaps of seats available and as soon as this was pointed out a table miraculously appeared. Food is fine and fairly tasty and wine list is well curated if be it a touch pedestrian and overpriced. Go there to be seen, not to have a gastronomic experiance.
E. B.
Best food ive had since ive been back in Australia just amazing! the best seafood you will ever have fresh and not over complicated hats off to the chef and his team! Shane and the bar team are amazing excellent cocktails and services is outstanding! Keep doing what you do guys and will definitely be back.
K. E.
Brisbanes finest restaurant hands down. Food was perfection , service was unbelievably exceptional. The aesthetic was beautiful , the atmosphere amazing. Have re booked for next weekend! Such a nice Valley night. Pool view was magical at night.
K. T.
I got the Moussaka, the Greek salad and ari anassis Cocktail everything was delicious, the interior is beautiful, but the customer service was terrible from our waiter but all the other staff were lovely.
Was seated outside by the pool for dinner. Waiter was extremely rude when we weren't ready to order and continued to give attitude throughout the night. Lighting for dinner was pitch black, I could barely see my food.
H. W.
The food!! Wow! We went here for lunch and were not disappointed at all. Firstly, the staff were very friendly and helpful but the food was absolutely top notch and reasonably priced. We will be back.
The only downside was the bar. We sat at the bar for a drink due to being early, the chairs were stained and torn and the bar was pretty average to look at with garbage on the floor and messy.
S. L.
Amazing Greek food in a lovely location
The food is delicious and the location of the restaurant near the hotel pool area gives it a resort style feel. The staff were super helpful and attentive but we felt that the food was really over-priced - $32 for a Greek salad???? Really???
S. G.
Great setting... I personally would recommend sitting outside as It feels like you are Miami.
The food was excellent wine was ok and the service was lacking. 2 dishes didn’t turn up to the table but the one that did were excellent.
I would highly recommend the octopus.
Value for money - fair.
I will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu
H. B.
what a place! you have now placed on top 5 restaurants that serve the best food that makes me want to go back. lets start with the customer service. by far the best service i have ever received from dining at a restaurant. so much better than the gold coast servers!!!!!. the food is awesome, came out quite quickly. food is nice and simple and taste pretty good. would defiantly return as the atmosphere food and service was easily a 10/10.
L. L.
The location and setting is nice, poolside restaurant with a cool vibe. Service was good, what was better though was the food. High quality Greek cuisine. The Taramosalata dip was smooth and nice, the Kolokithia (Zucchini chips) were delicious (I overdosed on them), the Horiatiki (Greek salad) and the Lahano (cabbage salad) were fresh and tasty and the Htapodi (Octopus) was tender. We shared a couple of other dishes but it was the above that stood out for me.
M. D.
Always great dishes and vibe when I visit here. The service is normally hit or miss though but the quality of the dishes makes up for it. Everything on the menu is divine and it's a perfect long lunch or date night spot. Highly recommend the seafood dishes, moussaka and chicken souvlakia.

Helenika is expensive, but worth every dollar. The service is friendly and fast. The setting is elegant and makes you feel like celebrating something. The food is fantastic, and the portions are generous. Try some of the Greek wine with your meal; it completes the experience.

Amazing food! Exceptional service, especially from Lauren! We were a table of 12 girls for a hens do. I was the only vegetarian and she made sure I was getting the right meals and was helpful with any question I had. I truely had the best experience :) thanks Lauren! I will be back.
R. &. L. B.
Wonderful service in a buzzing atmosphere- I sat within view of the kitchen which looked so calm and methodical. Food was delicious- we ate far too much but it was a special occasion and we enjoyed the wine list as well. Will definitely return thanks team (they really worked together as a team)
J. Z.
Had our team lunch here, the service was great, really enjoyed the food we ordered and the atmosphere was just lovely. The only issue was they charged us for the wrong table. Other than that, it’s a good place to visit for special occasions.
R. O.
Got the ‘Welcome Banquet’ for $75/person. Amazing value!
Food was delicious, varied and plenty of it.
Wine was delicious and we had an amazing margarita.
Service is always above and beyond. The team go out of their way to ensure the best experience for everyone.
B. W.
Good food but no better (and less authentic) than Lefkas in West End, and very much more expensive.
Retsina unavailable, not even by the bottle - whoever heard of a greek restaurant without retsina?! And the staff had never heard of it and tried to sell us something else completely unrelated
Worst part was being on the production line and moved on after 2 hrs
Won’t be bothering again
S. D.
Authentic greek food in pleasant surroundings. The staff wear a Greek inspired outfit. The selection of dishes is huge and the meats just melt in your mouth. You can dine with a pool view and a wonderful selection of wines to match your dining selection. Always book in advance. Definately 5 stars
N. B.
The food is well presented and tastes great, it's a Greek restaurant but is the type lots of people would still enjoy even if you don't like traditional Greek food. The menu is a share style tapas arrangement. I would reccomend a table reservation as it's always quite busy.
C. H.
The food was spectacular! The service was absolutely amazing. Our waitress Stephanie explained everything wonderfully and would come back time and time again, for the food and also because of her....Finally a stunning restaurant in Brisbane....we will be back working through the delicious menu....
A. C.
Have been wanting to come here for a while and most things were as great as expected! Although, ordered a Greek salad and... It came out with no olives. By the time we realised we were finished with dinner. Unfortunately we were still charged full price, bit of a shame for an otherwise good experience.
K. S.
I read the negative reviews and I do not understand. The service I have received is impeccable and I am fussy and a frequent diner so my expectations are high. The food is amazing and I would go as far to say it’s BETTER then GC. The venue is by far more inviting then the GC one. Sorry but it’s true! Brisbane wins
My favorite dishes are the flash fried calamari, dips, Greek salad, lamb cutlet, civeche & the $12 per prawn! They sound stupidly expensive but they’re amazing, large and tasty 😋
I drink French bubbles by the glass (I can’t trust myself with bottle service) and they serve this bevy icy cold. Just the way I like it. You would be amazed how many venues charge $$$ and don’t bother properly chilling the beverage 🤷🏽♀️
This is 1 restaurant I am not into dessert menu but that’s not their issue, I just don’t like Greek desserts. Go to a nearby gelato store if you still want something sweet 😘
B. O.
I can only comment on the breakfast, which was, unfortunately, mediocre at best. Exorbitant prices for an underwhelming breakfast at an establishment that should be seeking to uphold its respected status rather than leaching off the same. Exaggerating a French accent while serving patrons doesn’t make the experience more worthwhile for customers either. Hopefully management can take this advice on board and improve the quality and quantity of the breakfast served. In Hellenika’s case, the saying “you get what you pay for” just doesn’t stick.
M. T.
The best place to dine, food delicious and fresh perfectly presented, ambience just perfect...
U.
Amazing service! There were some issues with one of our dishes and the entire bill of our table was wiped. Really appreciate the effort from the manager in ensuring we were happy.
L. S.
OMG.... can life get any better when you can enjoy the food here? I was always a big fan when Hellenika was on GC. The location in BNE is perfect. We felt like we were on holiday! Next time we will make it a long lunch and not have to go back to work. Thank you to Simon and the team.
K. L.
Amazing Greek food matched by equally amazing service in a very cool setting! Every single staff member we interacted with was so friendly and helpful. Love love love and will be back!! ❤️
J. N.
Great food, fantastic wine selection. A bit expensive considering the portion sizes, for example it was $30 for a pretty small bowl of calamari, but the service was good and overall we had a great time.
J. O.
Nice wine and the food was ok. Mainly disappointed because I asked for gluten free food and said I was a coeliac; I was told two of the dips were. I ordered them. The dips were provided with and some bread and cucumber, I asked a different waiter if the bread was gluten free, they said no and the waiter took the bread away. I asked my initial waiter about gluten free bread and he dropped back a basket containing less bread. It looked the same. I then tried to find him to check if it was gluten free, after 10 minutes, I found him and asked if the bread was gluten free, he said it wasn’t and that no gluten free bread alternative was served there. I ate the dips with a fork as the dips slid off the cucumber. I would not have ordered the dips had I know this. A bit shocked as Hellenika is well known and I thought they would have excelled at food allergies.
J. F.
Excellent lunch spot in downtown Brisbane. Friendly staff, attentive and knowledgeable about the Greek menu. Moussaka was a hit, also the zucchini fries. Recommended!
L. A.
Thank you to Morgan and the other staff for the exceptional service. We particularly liked that the entrees were available in half sizes so that we could try more of them - all were delicious. The atmosphere was beautiful and it was a great night overall!
A.
Absolutely brilliant. Excellent food and wonderful setting. We had the seafood banquet and every course was delicious. This was our first visit and we will definitely be back.
J. R.
Seriously tasty food and the best service in Brisbane. Our highlight is the bug pasta and Greek wines. Would highly recommend.
B. A.
My wife and I went to Hellenika on Sunday to celebrate our 28th wedding anniversary and opted for the Banquet. Having traveled extensively, we have encountered a large variety of menu's and levels of service. Our experience at Hellenica was outstanding! The food was fresh, full of flavor, plentiful and thoughtfully chosen not to mention value for money. The service was excellent, very attentive, friendly and cheerful, but not obtrusive. The pool surrounding was delightful with a sophisticated buzz of informality. Without doubt, one of the best dining experiences we have had and can't wait to come back in the evening and bring friends and family. Well done to Hellenica, you have set a new standard of all round excellence for Brisbane.
S. G.
The service was great and the location is gorgeous. The wait staff were attentive. The food, I felt, did not meet my expectations, but, due to its other positive traits, I would be willing to give it another go.
A. J.
Super fancy and fun. Food was amazing and so delicious. Definitely worth a visit
L. W.
Had an amazing experience tonight at Hellenika, the food was simple yet executed to perfection, the flavours of all the dishes we tried were incredible.
But what really separates an experience is the customer service, we had Louise as our waitress and she was Devine, fast, attentive and very helpful!
We will be back (when the wallet allows)
R. P.
Had lunch with 3 friends today. I couldn’t fault the service, atmosphere or food! Exceptional!
e. l.
Sometimes the service is exceptional, other times not so much. but all in all a fun place to hang out, have drinks and meet friends. Beautiful outlook, and food is very good. Come here a lot and it really is lovely.
H. A.
Great food. Awesome LOCATION
This place will make a every lasting expression on James St.
Taste of Greece at its finest.
R. F. T. (. &. C.
Fabulous food and service really loved the Greek style luncheon we had. Fried zucchini a must! Other portions a little small, however served with a great Rose'
A. B.
Having eaten at Hellenika Gold Coast for many years, it was lovely to find that they had opened a restaurant in Brisbane. The setting, menu and wine list is par excellance, same as you would expect on the Gold Coast. The sommellier Morgan, a most accommodating lady, was most professional and vibrant, assisting us in our choice of Greek wines, as were the staff. A credit to the institution. The service and food is impeccable. Reasonably priced, but trust me, worth it. We will be back again. The food is on par with Europe, in respect to the freshness of the products and manner of cooking style and presentation. That's..a big call, which I am happy to stand behind. Afkaristo :)
R. L.
Unbelievable food and atmosphere! Great staff and wide selection of cocktails! The ocean trout highly recommended!
J. C.
A wonderful experience. Incredible food, great wines and brilliant service. A big shout out to Glen who was attentive, welll-informed, helpful and just a lovely human. I highly recommend the moussaka and give the grecian wines a go - delicious. Thanks for a wonderful night.
J. L.
Food presentation was nice, bit pricy but worth to try.
P. E.
Great decor and some pleasant staff but I found it to be a bit mass-market (impersonal) and over-crowded. Also $50 for a lamb shoulder main that to me was very dry and not succulent at all ..
G. F.
Fantastic food. Love the set up. Great spot.
S. L.
Always friendly, and professional staff! ❤️ always reminds me of Malibu when I am visiting here....very good music selection (I didn’t expect DJ plays Stéphane Pompougnac’s Hotel Costes in Brisbane! Well done 👏🏻👏🏻), always good zucchini chips & Aperol spritz. This place is perfect for summer 💜💙💚
I. M. B.
Had a very nice lunch banquet, waited on by a very friendly, smiling and knowledgeable lady. Had to wait awhile for food to come in, but that helped us pace ourselves. Good food, good ambiance, inviting pool nearby.
S. O.
Our favourite restaurant in Brisbane. Love coming here for breakfast and lunch. Food is always amazing and service is excellent. Could not recommend more highly.
S. R.
Considered, minimalist design. Great food around the pool. Fresh and delicious Greek fare - each dish is as you expect. Great service. Bookings recommended.
L. O.
All round great experience! Food, service and atmosphere.
A. H.
What I consider one of the best restaurants in Brisbane. This new adaptation of the original Gold Coast restaurant is on point with its food and service.
It serves modern day greek, accompanied by a great wine list that includes beautiful greek wines and a lengthy cocktail list.
I am a particular fan of their larger seafood menu than their Gold Coast counterpart. They offer both meat and seafood dishes to cover a wide variety of food preferences.
The location of the Calile Hotel is a great location for the ambience of Hellenika. It can get extremely busy, especially over the summer period so I would recommend booking in advance if you want to secure a table.
My personal favourite dishes are the Saganaki, Kolokithia, Baked Lamb Shoulder and whole fish of the day.
All round beautiful experience and perfect for a romantic dinner, a night to treat yourself or a family experience.
T. C.
Boasting a fantastic setting by the hotel pool, Hellenika delivered what was a great dining experience with friends. Our wait staff were pleasant and on point for the evening. We look forward to returning in the near future.
P. O. m.
So yummy food !! Amazing environment and we had excellent service. Eating and drinking good wine next to the pool makes you feel special! I recommend this restaurant.
T. H.
Food fabulous, service amazing!! Tinana served us and we really appreciated her suggestions of half servings, if we had of not had this informed advice we would have wasted half of this beautiful food 👌🏼
c. c.
3 stars because the place looks quite pretty and makes you feel like you’re on an overseas holiday. We were guests at the hotel and so went down to have a late lunch by the pool, serviced by the Hellenika staff. Set our things in a cabana, husband and daughter got in the pool and I waited to see a waiter. After about 10 mins I went to find one myself, only to be told the cabana we were in was “reserved” and we had to move. There was so sign so I was confused, especially as they are meant to be first come first serve, but then we’re told “it’s for the owner”. Oh, ok?! If I was the owner of a hotel I wouldn’t be kicking guests out of areas for myself?! It was petty but really made us feel like we didn’t matter one bit. It was our first and last stay here I’m afraid.
C. B.
Little disappointed. Thought the food was going to be better than what it was, maybe it was my own fault for having super high expectations. Besides that.. staff were absolutely amazing. Pier truely talked to us and explained why certain things were the way they were on the menu. Would come back.. just with lower expectations!
W. i.
Great food, Great service......Best Taramasalata
C. I.
We dined for dinner at The hellenika at the calile
The food blew my mind away |
The service was great | food alone ~ the Hellenika deserves a chef hat it was that good. | The octopus zucchini chips and the lamb is a must | The best Greek food in Australia | Highly recommend it | top job |
D. K.
I've taken clients to Hellenika a few times for lunches and while the food is divine, the setting stunning and the staff friendly the service has been leisurely - both times its taken over three hours for lunch service. I will happily be returning but when I have more time to enjoy the experience and not have to jet back to work.
G. B.
Great food. Great atmosphere. Fantastic staff
C. d. S. L.
Amazing ambience, a modern twist to traditional Greek recipes. Service just so impeccable! Thank you Maxine, you made our evening even more delightful with your attentiveness.

Minor snafoo - brought incomplete menus which were replaced with incomplete menus again... But otherwise flawless service, very friendly and accommodating, tasty and authentic food. Very tasteful decoration and music. The moussaka in particular is a must order.
Y. R.
Great location and vibes. The hotel is new and beautiful place. However very poor presentation for all meal we ordered. Unfortunately our staff was not friendly and not professional at all..
J. M. (.
Unless you were staying at the hotel you wouldn't know this bar was here. Adjacent to the pool, this walk up bar serves good gin. Even during busy times the table service is excellent and well paced.
M. G.
Great food. Recommend the eggplant moussaka..friendly staff. Relaxed venue for Sunday lunch with the family. Good size portions and reasonably priced.
R. W.
Phenomenal. Flawless, friendly service. Food was superb. Great wine list. Decor is perfectly done. Such a great addition to Brisbane.

Wonderful Greek restaurant with a seafood focus in the sublime Calile Hotel, with cool views to the pool. Highly recommended for a relaxing long lunch.
L. B.
What's not to love.. Hellenika is situated within the beautiful Calile hotel. Service by Simon and the team is second to none. Beautiful moussaka and grilled octopus. Would return again and again

Great service, great atmosphere. Had a gin and tonic during the evening it was really nice. For breakfast had the crab omelette, I found it to be a little salty.
