Nóstimo! - Edit
Delicious! Warm, welcoming service, with great traditional flavours. The lemon & oregano potatoes were crispy and creamy, the moussaka was cheesy and packed with flavour.

Disappointing - Edit
I saw some very good reviews for this place, and was so excited to try the moussaka. It was really disappointing: bland, with lentils rather than vegan mince, however the cheesy top was nicely browned and a great texture.
Read moreThe potatoes were not crispy, just a boiled potato texture, and rather bland.
The baked fava beans + peas were the surprising best dish of the night, they were cooked in a tomato based sauce, and were flavourful.
The Loukoumades. SO DISAPPOINTING. They didn't have a vegan substitute for honey, so they came dry, with something that looked like brown sugar but had a fluffy texture with just the tiniest hint of sweetness.
It's bitterly disappointing that I haven't come across any good vegan Greek food in Melbourne, when I was so impressed with the vegan food scene in Athens, and when Greek cuisine has several traditionally vegan food.
Cons: no toppings for loukoumades, bland moussaka

If five stars were allowed... - Edit
This would be five stars. The food and people are authentic and go beyond what you see on the plate.
Read moreSo many of the vegetables are freshly grown locally, which is why a lot of the vegan options are seasonal.
This takes great vegan food beyond just not eating animal products but also eating fresh.
If you call in advance, you can also have a vegan lunch pack made up for take away.
This is a restaurant I am happy to support.
Pros: Truly fresh home-grown vegetables, Many vegan options on and off the menu, Great people
