The Hellenic House Project

Tough-to-please Greek matriarchs are leaving this Highett dining room thoroughly impressed. The Hellenic House Project delivers pure, unadulterated kefi—effortlessly stylish, completely unpretentious, and buzzing with genuine philoxenia. The move here? Start with the outrageously fluffy, house-made pita dragged through vibrant taramasalata, followed by the crispy prawn kataifi wrapped in golden, shredded filo. Traditionalists might pause at the hot chips stuffed straight into the souvlaki, but one bite of that aggressively seasoned, juicy lamb wrap and you’ll be a convert. Everything hits hard—from the sizzling saganaki and feta-dusted chips to the signature Mati Eye cocktails. Sun-drenched backyard vibes. House-made wine pouring freely. Grab a crew, order the generous group menu, and pick up a packaged stack of that legendary pita on your way out.
