Correction (2 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten, and every place below was checked against its own current information.
Kew’s Greek food is thinner on the ground than the earlier version of this page made out. Of the Greek places we checked, two passed: St George Greek Eatery and Plaka Gyros, both on Glenferrie Road in Hawthorn, the suburb next door. We could not verify a Greek restaurant inside Kew itself, and we would rather give you two real places than a list of invented ones.
A few words you will meet on both menus. Souvlaki is grilled meat (or cheese, or falafel) wrapped in pita with salad and tzatziki, a yoghurt, cucumber and garlic dip, and Melbourne often shortens it to souva. Gyros is meat cooked on a vertical spit and shaved off in slices. St George’s menu uses the word souvlaki for a wrapped gyros and for meat on a skewer, so read the description before you pick. Haloumi is a firm, brined cheese that grills without melting away.

St George Greek Eatery — 802 Glenferrie Road, Hawthorn VIC 3122
St George’s ordering site opens on a souvlaki list, and the Glenferrie Traders Association describes the eatery as serving “charcoal gyros, grilled halloumi, and seafood platters”. On the menu: Gyros Souvlaki, from $13.90, is “Wrapped with lettuce, tzatziki, tomato onion chips”; the “from” price suggests there are options. The Falafal Souvlaki (falafel are fried chickpea balls) is $14.50, the Haloumi Souvlaki is $14.90, and the Chicken Skewer Souvlaki is $16.90. To share, the Mixed Dip Platter (V) is $18.90 and comes with “All 4 dips above with pita”. The association lists it open 5:00 - 10:00 pm Monday, Tuesday and Thursday to Sunday, and closed on Wednesday. Its own site takes “Pickup & Delivery” orders.
Start with: the Gyros Souvlaki, from $13.90, since the association’s description of the eatery leads with gyros.
Plaka Gyros — Shop 5 & 6, 673 Glenferrie Road, Hawthorn VIC 3122
Plaka’s direct-order page lists a Souvlaki at $13.00 and gives it no description, so we cannot tell you the filling; ask when you order. On the menu: the Chicken Gyros Wrap is $21.00 and the Greek Salad is $18.00. Baklava, $9.80, is a layered filo, nut and syrup pastry. The page shows its prices with an “A$” prefix. The Glenferrie Traders Association lists the shop (spelled “Playka Gyros” there) as closed Monday, open 11:30 am - 9:00 pm Tuesday to Thursday and Sunday, and 11:30 am - 9:30 pm Friday and Saturday. The page is titled “Order pickup and delivery”.
Start with: the Souvlaki, $13.00, and ask what is in it.

How we checked
On 2 October 2026 we read St George’s online-ordering menu and Plaka’s direct-order page and copied each item and price as printed. We left out one St George platter whose printed price is clearly a typo. We confirmed both addresses, and took the opening hours, from the Glenferrie Traders Association directory, an independent local listing. Delivery-app prices were not used. These are the only two Greek places near Kew that passed that bar, so this is a two-place page and we did not pad it. The cover photo is an illustrative Unsplash photo of grilled sausages on a salad, not from either venue.
