Correction (4 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources on 4 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.
Greek food in this part of Melbourne comes in a few formats, and this page sorts them: souvlaki shops, a sit-down taverna and a restaurant with a dessert list. It covers five places in and around Fairfield, two on Station Street, one in Alphington and two in Northcote.
Each one was confirmed at two independent sources: OpenStreetMap, the Australian Good Food Guide and, where one loaded, the venue’s own site. Prices appear only where a menu printed them, and each is copied with its dish. Where hours were unclear we say so rather than guess.

Tasty Souvlaki — 111 Station Street, Fairfield VIC 3078
Souvlaki is grilled meat on a skewer, served wrapped in pita or as a plate. AGFG’s Best Known For line names the Hellenic Salonika Pack and the Platter for One. AGFG lists it open 11:00 AM to 9:00 PM Monday to Wednesday and Sunday, and 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM Thursday to Saturday, though that directory is owner-maintained. We could not read a menu, so no prices are printed.
Start with: the platter, since AGFG names the Platter for One among its best-known items.
Spitaki Souvlaki — 115 Station Street, Fairfield VIC 3078
A gyros is meat cooked on a vertical spit, sliced off and wrapped in pita. AGFG’s Best Known For line for Spitaki Souvlaki is Pork & Chicken Gyros. AGFG also tags Alfresco Dining, Delivery, Takeaway, Gluten Free Options and Vegetarian Options. Its menu is an image and its own site gives conflicting hours, so we print no prices or times and suggest checking before you go.
On the menu: AGFG highlights pork and chicken gyros, so ask how each is served.
Ilios Taverna — 735 Heidelberg Road, Alphington VIC 3078
A taverna is a Greek sit-down eatery built around shared plates and a long meal. Ilios Taverna is in Alphington, and its own site lists Wednesday to Sunday, dinner from 5pm until 10pm, Sunday open from 12pm, closed Monday and Tuesday. The site footer carries an older year, so confirm those hours. AGFG tags Alfresco Dining, Child Friendly, Delivery and Takeaway, and its menu pages are images with no readable prices.
The precinct: it sits on Heidelberg Road in Alphington, just outside Fairfield rather than on its main strip.
Lambs Northcote — 305 High Street, Northcote VIC 3070

The Loukaniko Souvlaki is described as a spicy Greek style sausage with tzatziki, lettuce, tomato and onion, at $17.50, and the Falafel Wrap is $16.50. The site’s hours carry a note to call and confirm, so we print none.
