Stix & Pita — Restaurant in Sydney

Stix and Pita is a popular casual Greek eatery in Enmore. Serving authentic Greek food using quality sustainable produce. They cook succulent meats, slow cooked over charcoal as well as serving wraps, salads and other Greek sides as well as dessert.

Indoor and outdoor seating, order at the counter and the food will be brought to you. You can see the meat being cooked which is awesome. We find service to be really fast. There’s even a huge takeaway line.

There’s large plates like the Achilles plate for $28 which comes with 200g of the meat of choice; Greek salad, chips, tzatziki and pita bread. There’s an even bigger Hercules plate for 2 or 3 people. If you’re after something smaller like me, there’s "naked meats" which you can order by the gram or single sticks (minimum two per order). I order two chicken snd they come with tzatziki and pita bread with a wedge of lemon. Super juicy meat which is flavoured nicely with Greek herbs.

For the pita wraps, it’s a bit of choose your own adventure. You first selecting the meat: Chicken / Pork / Lamb or you can get calamari or haloumi and then the accompanying filling.

We had the lamb kleftiko, with lamb slow cooked on the rotisserie for 11 hours and finished on charcoal. The Icarus was served with char roasted capsicum, tirokafteri (spicy feta dip) and chips inside.

We also tried the with double baked truss tomatoes, white taramosalata (fish roe dip), pickled onions and chips. The wraps are excellent, made with soft house made pita.

They also have burgers and Greek sides with every item on the menu is prepared in house. We love the corn roasted on charcoal as the method of cooking provided a good char, and the Cabbage and Greek salads were refreshing accompaniments. Their spanakopita is also cooked over the charcoal and is certainly a generous portion. The food here is great and we look forward...

It's ok as a causal dining experience looking for quickly prepared big meal to chow down on, but be aware, it's not so much a restaurant experience. I was surprised at all the rave reviews. It's basically large serves of grilled meats and chips, nothing extraordinary. But definitely very filling. The meats are a bit greasy actually. Busy with lots of takeaways and deliveries being picked up so it clearly hugely popular. Smallish dining space. It's a basic restaurant - nothing fancy, more like a diner or cafe greek themed and attractive enough. Friendly but inefficient/rushed staff. Great if what you're looking for is big platters of greasy meat and chips (American sized serves) the the Hercules platter is big enough for 2-4 hungry people in my book. Perhaps there is something special I missed for it to be top rated greek in Sydney? I haven't been to many Greek places in Sydney (but enjoyed 'Zeuz street Greek' takeaways in Drummoyne several times and thought this would be next level).n

In summary, perhaps my expectations weren't rekaistic: this just felt like the Greek version of a good Kebab shop (Saltans table nearby have very good kebabs by the way) but without the dips and arrays of bread. I expected a Greek restaurant experience and salads and seafood. Maybe I need to give it a 2nd try to be sure? I am missing what people clearly love about this place. Maybe it's big simple grilled meat dishes and Cho's that epple love? I need to explore the menu another time... or go when...

I recently visited Stix and Pita and had a delightful experience trying out their menu. Here’s my take on what I tried:

The Athenian lamb yeeros with pita bread and tzatziki was simply amazing, though the lamb was a tad overcooked and dry.

The Icarus yeeros with spicy chicken was very nice, especially if you enjoy a bit of heat.

The pork souvlaki sticks were incredibly tender with soft meat that melted in your mouth.

The calamari was decent, albeit quite standard. What impressed me though was the clean and light-colored batter, indicating clean and filtered cooking oils.

The spanakopita was a standout for me, with a wonderful blend of dough, oil, lemon, and oregano. Truly delicious!

The tzatziki served with both the spanakopita and yeeros was fresh and delightful.

While the total bill came to $92 for these items along with two drinks, I found it a bit pricey. However, there are plenty more items on the menu that I’d love to try.

I also noticed families enjoying large family platters, which looked tempting and generous.

Overall, despite a few minor points, I would definitely eat here again. The freshness of the ingredients and the homemade touch in their dishes make Stix and Pita a place...
