Best Greek in the Redlands
Wellington Point's best kept secret? Not anymore.
Hellenic Street Food is serving up authentic Greek cuisine cooked over charcoal — think juicy Yiros, fresh dips, and pita bread done properly. Chicken, pork, lamb or halloumi, there's something for everyone. Whether it's a quick lunch or a family dinner, it's the kind of food that hits the spot every time.
Feeling the Greek vibes? There's also a Greek Festival on at Mt Gravatt Showgrounds this Saturday — see Events below for details. Hellenic Street Food is the perfect warm-up. 🇬🇷
📍 17/685 Old Cleveland Road, Wellington Point · Tue–Sun, 11am–8pm
