My family are Greeks and we highly recommend this superb family eatery. The service is always friendly, warm and welcoming. Helen, her daughter Maria and staff provide an authentic Greek cuisine experience. We are very proud to be part of their success, as we frequent their premises often.
We ordered a large family size Lemon and Syrup cake for our mother's birthday and our Australian Greek relatives tasted the 'authentic honesty' in each slice - with a dollop of Greek yoghurt too.
A Taste of Greece, is indeed a jewel in Wellington's multicultural crown!
Love the family and neighbourhood feel of this place and all the yummy goodies on offer. Great selection of treats both homemade and imported. Variety of choice and taste are great. The downer is value for money, the kids polished off mains and we were left unsatisfied from the portion sizes of our meals. Considering the price I would have expected larger heartier portion sizes.
Stumbled upon this place by accident and have made it a priority to head back ever since. I am not Greek so I canny vouch for its authenticity, but I can tell you it is the only place in Wellington I have heard multiple parties speaking Greek to one another, so this has to be a good sign. I will be back many times and bring friends.
Came in to try the Souvlaki weekend special, always see the sign, live close so thought no harm in trying. I was surprised to see that the souvlaki was only chicken because I expected a lamb option. We asked how it works and what it came with which was a couple of sticks of grilled souvlaki, salad, tzaziki and grilled pita bread. I ordered one and thought it was a touch pricey for $15 for a one person lunch to be honest. I tried each part, it was all very tasty and seemed good quality so I think that is where the money went, and fair enough, I would rather pay for quality and enjoy it! The Souvlaki was full of spices and citrus flavours, delightful!.Service was excellent, staff there were lovely and helpful - I would recommend this spot for others to try, the desserts and pastries looked fantastic also and I did spot a couple of gluten free options.
Love this place. We come regularly for the souvlaki on Saturdays. It is always fresh and delicious and amazing value. The cakes and pastries are homemade and delicious and the coffee wonderful. The owners are so friendly and welcoming and happy to help. We bought Greek coffee this weekend and the owner showed us exactly how to make it. They also have a be fridge with wonderful treats - we were excited to buy big fat pitta bread. An absolutely hidden gem!
Absolutely adored the lunch I had at A Taste of Greece. The pastries were perfect (I had a leek and feta pastry, and one filled with semolina custard), the Greek salad was deliciously balanced and fresh - the feta and oil combo was luxurious - and the coffee was the kind of coffee that's soothing rather than wiring you up. So tasty! And lovely, friendly service too. The dolmades were especially good, don't forget to try them.
Nice café out in Kilbirnie, cosy, colourful, Helen, the owner is friendly and a great chef. Food is authentic, fresh, attractive and tastes great. Lots of other seasonal treats as well for Greek Easter, Christmas, Mothers Day, Fathers Day, New Year and other days. Check out the Greek merchandise; table clothes, jewellery, cards, food .

Great Food. Authentic Greek. Friendly staff. Highly recommended. Must be one of the only Greek cafe in Wellington. A must try are the sweets and savories.
Helen and the team helped us with some yummy goodies for catering and we were not disappointed. The quality and authenticity was enjoyed by all! Not a crumb left. Thanks again 🙏
A great, small yet authentic cafe that has delicious meals ranging from oily salads to sweet baclava. Can't recommend it more.

Something special happened, when I visited taste of Greece. The food was divine. The portions were generous, the price was fair, the service was delightful. I left this place, my heart aflutter, stomach full and a smile on my face. 10/10 for me! Wow
Absolutely delicious food here, cakes, baklava, meatballs, tzatziki, spinajkopita etc. Always back here when I am in Wellington.
Great service and a Greek coffee too. Highly recommended 👍👍👍
Just a little place, serving some great freshly cooked food, and various supplies from Greece.
The Chicken Souvlaki meal was very good, as was the Halloumi Burger.
Greek Salad with the souvlaki was excellent.
No frills joint. Loads of awesome Greek food. Homemade. And imported groceries. Couldn't stop myself from getting me hands on all the sweets. 😅
Look at that mountain of deliciousness! Loving my long weekend already. Thank you, team at The Taste of Greece, another great experience.
This is a such treasure trove!! Our own little piece of Greece tucked away in Kilbirnie but offering so many different things that can make you think you are actually in Greece - e.g. an extensive range of delicious cooked meals and sweets, authentic ingredients so you can make your own Greek food at home, souvenirs, music, jewellery, crockery, religious items, cheeses, an extensive range of frozen pies from Greece ...... and so, so many other things! Highly recommend this place!
What a lovely experience. Restaurant, cafe mini shop of products from Greece. Lovely lady , who knew all her products. Another lady out the back was cooking up a storm.
If your looking to treat yourself when your in Kilbirnie I would recemend A taste of Greece, I had a Greek burger there and it was genuinely one of the best burgers I have had in a long time
