Lukumades Windsor — Restaurant in Melbourne

If you don’t’ know what Loukoumades are (you’ve been missing out!) they’re deep-fried, golden balls of dough drizzled with honey syrup and sprinkled with cinnamon. They’re basically Greek doughnuts and they’re dangerously addictive and easy to pop in your mouth, five at a time. In Greece, they’re sold in small patisseries and holes in the wall, served as an afternoon treat with honey syrup and crushed walnuts—classic style.

Lukumades, recently opened in Windsor, specialise in handcrafted loukoumades with both traditional and modern toppings. You can smother them with Nutella, crushed oreos, salted caramel sauce, pistachios, matcha—the options are endless! For $12 you get a generous serve of balls with your choice of toppings and there are three vegan toppings too! Also good to know: all doughnuts are vegan.

Lukumades started out as a little food truck in 2016, roaming the streets of Melbourne selling these balls like hot cakes. Nine months later and they ventured into their own bricks and mortar store and have since dotted the city with several franchises, including West Melbourne, Carlton and newly opened Windsor. We tried two of the favourite topping combos including the Dark delight: melted dark chocolate and crushed pistachios topped with hazelnut gelato; and the Bueno: melted hazelnuts sauce, drizzled milk chocolate and crushed biscuit. Both were incredibly decadent and rich so make sure to bring your second dessert stomach. There’s also an extensive drinks list serving coffees, hot choccies, frappes (just like they make in Greece) and milkshakes. We indulged in the salted caramel and nutella milkshakes to wash down the golden balls. It...

I’ve had lukumades, which is a Greek dessert of fried doughnuts at traditional Greek restaurants. Well, the version at @lukumadeswindsor has changed the game for Greek desserts. The difference is in their innovative flavours, huge portions and perfectly fried doughnuts (it wasn’t too chewy and maintained a crispy outer even ten mins into my meal).

The popular ones to order are the Bueno, Matcha Balls, Snickers and Oreo. The Bueno was really mindblowing. The combination of deep fried doughnuts and generous slatherings of kinder bueno.. we couldn’t get enough! each portion comes with 6 doughnuts and I reckon that can be shared among two people. The chocolate cream tends to harden pretty quickly so dig in fast!

They also serve amazing Nutella milkshakes and coffee along with their doughnuts.

These babies are available for takeaway too. Watching them carefully package every ubereats order gives me the confidence that you can have the same amazing food experience at home.

A definite #citaymusteat and somewhere to take tourists when the world gets better :) thanks for the invite! ♥️

Recently opened in Windsor, Lukumades brings traditional Greek loukoumades with a modern twist!

Walking in, we were greeted by a friendly staff member who showed us the menu and explained how it all worked. He was very accomodating and eager to please.

We ordered the Jaffa which was accompanied with dark chocolate and orange as well as the Dark Delight served with melted dark chocolate, crushed pistachios and topped with hazelnut gelato. For drinks, we had the Freddo Espresso and the Tella shake.

The doughnuts were incredible! They were soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside - just like fried doughnuts should be! The Dark Delight was definitely our favourite where the creamy hazelnut gelato was the perfect accompaniment. The Jaffa doughnuts were also delicious with a perfect amount of orange zest.

The drinks were also fantastic. It’s not often that a Freddo Espresso is done well but these guys are definitely pros. The Nutella shake (Tella) was also delightful and definitely satisfied my sugar cravings!

We had such an awesome experience at Lukumades and we cannot recommend a better place to get...
