YASSAS - THE GREEK WAY (EASTLAND) — Restaurant in Melbourne

Dear Yassas,

My wife and I Yasmeen and baby Evangelos arrived at 5pm on Wednesday, April 17th 2024 and ordered a Meat Mix Platter for the first time moving into the area 2 days ago.

We initially like the look of the food however we were shocked when we tasted cold fatty meat that was tasteless & chicken skewers that were the cheap variety you can find at Coles supermarkets.

The dips and bread were decent & unfortunately we were again shocked when we saw our bill being charged for all of these extras when we were neve informed by these extra charges by the young philipino boy upon the final payment as listed below. $92 was just simply expensive for take away food at best.

I asked why didn't you explain this to us and he smiled and got shy, my wife grabbed and we continued to go home feeling unwell.

Around 30 minutes later we were both feeling sharp stabbing pains in our stomach and then both of us proceeded to go to the toilet with a mild case of the runs. My wife had also spewed a few times, my baby boy and I seemed to have more of the runs. I would like my money back.

I am happy to put this review online google for the wider community to see but this matter has to be agreed upon first and an apology for not informing us about all the hidden charges not to mention the stress and nature of I'll health this has caused my family & ourselves in the evening.

We look forward to your reply and expect an apology & reimbursement for the stress this has...

Re-Review We went again on Saturday for a birthday. The new manager Yanni greeted us and let us know a little about his experience in the restaurant game. From the moment we entered to when we left the service was fantastic, the speed of service was amazing, the food quality was excellent and everything went exceptionally well.

Under new management and it’s just got a whole lot better than the five we gave in our last visit.

We ordered the mixed gyros platter for three and the saganaki. Nothing could be faulted and the flavours were exactly what you are chasing when dining Greek cuisine.

Thank you to Yanni and the team there for a wonderful evening.

We stopped here for a late lunch whilst shopping at Eastland.

Easy to find on the station end of the strip of restaurants, this clean and spacious restaurant has a Greek island feel. Welcomed in by Rhys we were guided to our booth like seats and immediately offered drinks and the menu.

We selected the mixed gyros plate and the special on the Greek mojito.

The speed of service was great and the food was an amazing spread of beautiful meats, breads, chips, dip and salads.

With absolutely nothing to complain about (besides my stomach not being big enough to fit in all of this amazing food) we left full and happy.

Make sure you stop in here for beautiful Greek food and excellent service. Shout out to Rhys for his fantastic service on the impromptu lunch for us.

Came in for lunch today - Sunday November 27 at 1.45 pm. We ordered our meals using the QR code on the table which worked smoothly. The place was virtually empty yet after 30 minutes, not only was there no food but there was also no acknowledgement from the staff of our presence. I finally asked if we could at least have our drinks if our meals were not ready yet. The young man who I spoke to could not have come across as less interested about my request. From his demeanor, he looked as if I had asked him to do something unreasonable. How long does it take to pour a beer? I don't think it should take 30 minutes? Remember, this place was virtually empty. The young lady who was also serving was just as unhelpful. She walked past us like we were'nt even there. Even if she just said once -"sorry about the wait, your food is on the way" I wouldn't be writing this review. Interestingly, two people who came in after us who she clearly knew as she was very friendly with them, got their meals after about 10 minutes. We understand that the wait may have been due to understaffing in the kitchen, but there is no excuse for the neglectful front-of-house service we experienced this afternoon. Disappointed that we opted to tip via the QR code...
