urban greek

sophisticated and funky, the urban greek encapsulates the best of hobart's dining scene. from the time you walk into the restaurant and are welcomed by the modern artful decor, the experience is unsurpassed in terms of the service and the delectable cuisine on offer. 

you will find a selection of traditional dishes such as moussaka, pastichio and yemista to house specialties and crowd favourites such as the shared platter, which is what we ordered. 

the shard platter is an excellent choice if you wish to sample a selection from the grill. it includes lamb cutlets, lamb skewer, chicken and pork from the spit, pita, dips and fries. the serves are very generous and the grill 'melt in your mouth' delicious.

we rounded off the experience with greek coffee and galactoboreko - a semolina based custard slice encased in light filo pastry and drizzled in syrup. heaven!

this is a dining experience that is memorable for all the right reasons: excellent food, pleasant environment and exceptional service. having been to numerous greek restaurants both in australia and overseas, the urban greek stands out - this is what going out for a meal is all about

way over priced. nothing justifies these prices. basic covid hygiene not followed. noone wearing masks. menus placed on top of my plate.

i love this place, i don’t think i have ever been disappointed or had a bad meal! we started off with the pita and dips which were delish! two of us shared this amazing seafood platter which was cooked and seasoned perfectly with some lemon potatoes.

great greek food with a modern twist ... great atmosphere & vibe ... terrific service knowledgeable and friendly ... v good knowledge of the wine to go with the food and the individuals taste .... highly recommended them

incredible food & cocktails. we had the 2nd banquet and it was amazing but so much food! good choice if you’re looking for a special meal. service was brilliant & the courses came out quickly. great atmosphere, 100% recommend!

we love crete and we’re quite excited to find this place. great ambience, awesome service and the food was delicious but lost a couple of stars from me as the lamb was way too fatty. trimming the fat off would have made for a perfect experience.

fast becoming my favourite hobart restaurant. food is incredibly good with a fantastic range to choose from. wait staff are lovely. never had a bad experience

a happening greek restaurant in the heart of hobart. we ordered take away, some moussaka, gyros, salad and chicken. for take away food it was very good, very flavoursome. we also had a drink whilst we waited.

my kids and i made the walk on a whim from the waterfront. what a brilliant decision that was! our waitress was super friendly & gave us some outstanding recommendations. efficient service, no delays on tempting plates and accommodated us to share all our courses. i only wish you were in melbourne!! best restaurant ever with a super cool ambiance and sounds. 3 food comas for the night 😋

another place i can across when visiting hobart. had great greek food here, thought the lamb was fantastic. especially liked the desert, which was the deconstructed baklava. also like the house jam with the saganaki, very tasty!

we walked in as a group of four, with no booking and a busy restaurant and the the staff were more than accommodating, and super friendly! great service.
food servings were large and delicious! 2 of us were not able to come close to finishing our meals. atmosphere is bustling and not quiet, but lovely depending on what you’re hoping for.

walk-in dinner with my daughter last night - love the long waiting tables which we chose to stay at to eat. service was friendly and helpful. great decor and atmosphere. order arrived quite fast considering they were full. the meals were wonderful, probably a bit large for us - my daughter couldn't finish her cretan chicken. i had the lamb on red rice from the specials list - incredibly well made dish. the chicken was slightly dry but still very good. i'd have been happy to order a salad if the mains weren't so large but we left very satisfied.

we tried the hippocrates banquet and it was the most amazing greek food we’ve ever had. service was prompt and staff were very friendly. we’ll definitely be coming back next time we’re in hobart. thank you for a fantastic dining experience.

we really enjoyed coming to this place. the staff were friendly and authentic, the decor was modern and trendy, and the food was delicious.

taking half a point off because the serving size for the price should be bigger at a greek restaurant. we eat greek all the time in melbourne and the serving sizes for the prices are bigger.

came in for dinner last night and was welcomed in by lovely staff.

had a slightly different arrangement of greek food we’re used to, but the food was sensational. normally when you order saganaki as an entrée, you’re usually served one piece to share between a table of four, and we were serve a slice each! it was delectable, crunchy, hot and salty. charcoaled octopus melted in your mouth, wasn’t stringy or rubbery. was perfect, and more amazing to find out that it’s harvested locally through pirate bay (which we’ve had a chance of seeing here).

the cretin lamb was tender, melt in your mouth, cooked perfectly. dips were amazing, as were the sorbets for dessert. for once we didn’t get coffee, and had an appetiser of sherry and raki.

overall, a wonderful and enjoyable experience. waitstaff were very friendly and talkative, everything we experienced was hands-down wonderful.
