The Hellenic Community And Cultural Centre Of Newcastle

Awesome food. Made fresh and tastes great. Reccomend this to anyone

Am I back in Greece !! or what..
I had it in my head... i just wanted to 'go Greek' this weekend. Well its lucky we did. It was the quickest 15,000 km trip back to Greece in a while....
From the table setting to the exquisite authentic home cooked Greek food. They even had my favourite Greek beer as well as a variety of imported Greek wines.
It seemed that we were virtually sitting in Plaka in downtown Athens....
I wanted to start the evening with everything on the Meze menu but Liz held me back a bit. We kicked off with the dips followed by the Horiatiki salad, Whitebait and the 'flash' fried Calamari, which was to die for !!!! A glass or two of wine then into the home made Lamb Souvlaki. It had to be the most tenderest Lamb I have had for a while... Neil tells me that they only use the best lamb rump and it's smashed with lemon, olive oil and herbs.... This is one you have to try....
Unfortunately, I didn't leave enough room for desert BUT in the end, I couldn't resist the home made honey Loukoumades...
I cant wait to get back there again to get into the Saganaki, the Octopus Skara, the Baklava... the list goes on and on.... Do i recommend the Greek Taverna, well I certainly do, and if you don't get down there, you'r missing out big time. Keep in mind they are only opened on weekends at this stage...

Absolutely fantastic value for money with most main meals costing $25. When dinner was presented it was authentic Greek homestyle cooking served with lemon Potato. For the cost you won't find a better meal, well above expectation, and the staff were friendly & driven to please. One of Newcastle's best kept secrets, highly recommended, and I'll be back.

A good place to have a 16th party
