Kouzina Greco - Parramatta

Service: 2 stars Food ratings 3 stars: cheese entree 4 stars: lamb shoulder, octopus 5 stars: fried dough dessert, semolina custard Noise: 2 stars Came here as it was the top restaurant listed in Parramatta on Trip Advisor at 8pm on a Tuesday night. The overall experience did not live up to its hype, and was judged as a family owned and operated restaurant. Not sure if it was understaffed as it was pretty packed, but we never actually got the menu and had to look it up on our phones. We were half a mind to go up to the counter to order as we had not been tended to for 30 minutes after seating. We realised we won't be looked after unless we really try and flag down staff members to order, get water and get dessert, even though you are paying proper restaurant prices. Food arrived from 45 minutes into a timed 90 minute seating. Cheese entree was expectantly heavy, but too heavy on its own and would be better served with a side of bread to balance. It was too much of a service hassle and time to order it separately. Octopus was worth every bite. Nicely done, soft and tangy, and something I would recommend trying. Lamb shoulder had a really dry outer edge, the type to make your teeth gnash against each other. Better toward the bone that ultimately saved it to a four star, but I wouldn't order it again not particularly outstanding nor memorable for the price. dessert really saved the entire experience not too sweet but memorable and would come back for the desserts. Be prepared to shout if seated indoors as the bare walls are quite bouncy. My partner couldn't hear me despite being 1m away.

What a phenomenal restaurant this has to be the best Greek restaurant in all of Sydney. The owners Alannah and Peter are absolutely wonderful and make sure your meal is perfect from start to finish. Anyone looking for a restaurant for date night or a great feed and good value for money should visit here. You will not leave here disappointed.

Saganaki Grilled Octopus were delicious. Desserts (Bougatsa and Loukoumades) were also great. Service was a bit slow but the resteraunt was full and very busy when we arrived for Dinner. Food came out pretty fast after ordering.

Flawless. From the food to the service to the atmosphere, you couldn’t find a fault with this gem! Slightly off the busy concourse of Church/Eat Street, this family owned and operated Greek restaurant is one of the best dining experiences in Parramatta. The souvlaki was perfectly cooked (and thoughtfully presented so you don’t battle to get the meat off the skewer), the haloumi was incredible and the moussaka was as authentic as it gets this side of the Aegean Sea! We will be back for certain.

Friendly staff that make great suggestions. They were happy to customise our meal. Food is always nice here
