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.
Food on a shopping strip arrives with people, and a menu is the plainest record of what is sold today. This page covers five Greek food places in and around Prahran: one in Prahran, two in Windsor and two at Prahran Market in South Yarra.
Every entry puts a dish into one line for a first-time reader of the board, and credits each fact about a venue to the source that published it. We have not cited Census figures here and we have not assumed anything about who runs these places.
Every place was confirmed at two independent sources. Prices appear only where a menu printed them; for four of the five we could not read any.

Penance (Greek-inspired cafe) — 3A Carlton Street, Prahran VIC 3181
A directory listing describes Penance as “A café where Hellenic soul meets baroque drama”, and that is the venue’s framing as relayed there, not ours. Its own site gives the address as 3A Carlton St and lists Monday to Friday 6am-2:30pm, Saturday 7am-2:30pm and Sunday closed. We could not find a published menu, so we cannot say which dishes it serves.
Community context: the “Hellenic soul” line is the chapelstreet.com.au directory’s description, not a menu, so we say nothing about its kitchen until one is published.
Meat & Greek Gyros Bar — 121 Chapel Street, Windsor VIC 3181
The site’s own line is “Where the flavours of Greece come alive in every bite”. Gyros is meat cooked on a vertical spit, sliced and wrapped in pita, and the menu prints “Pita Gyros Chicken $15” and “Pita Gyros Lamb or Mix $16”. Bigger orders include “Gyros Open Plate Choice of Chicken $29” and the “HSP Hellenic Snack Pack” at $22, which the menu lists with gyros, cheese, fries and a choice of sauces. We did not find opening hours, so none are stated.
On the menu (copied from meatandgreek.com.au on 4 October 2026):
- Pita Gyros Chicken: $15
- Pita Gyros Lamb or Mix: $16
- Gyros Open Plate Choice of Chicken: $29
- Falafel w/ Tomato ,Onion, Fries, Lettuce & Hummus: $14

Chaso’s Gourmet Deli (Prahran Market) — Deli Arcade, Prahran Market, 163 Commercial Road, South Yarra VIC 3141
The Prahran Market trader page says Chaso’s offers “homemade dips, home cured olives and delicious dolmades”. Dolmades are vine leaves wrapped around a filling, usually rice, and are a standard deli-counter item in Greek cooking. The trader page lists Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 7am and Sunday from 8am, which are the market’s trading hours, so individual stall hours can differ. We found no prices for this stall.
The precinct: it trades from the Deli Arcade at Prahran Market, 163 Commercial Road, South Yarra.
Lukumades Windsor — 176 Chapel Street, Windsor VIC 3181
Loukoumades are small fried dough balls, usually served with honey, and OpenStreetMap tags this shop as selling “Greek doughnuts”. The chain’s Australia page lists the Windsor shop at 176 Chapel Street and publishes opening times for the week; they differ from the times OpenStreetMap carries, so check before you go. We could not find published menu prices.
Start with: the doughnuts, since that is the one product the sources name for this shop.
Sweet Greek (Prahran Market) — Shop 702, Deli Arcade, Prahran Market, 163 Commercial Road, South Yarra VIC 3141
The Prahran Market directory says Sweet Greek offers “delicious homemade Greek cuisine”, with “traditional ready to eat dishes and take-home meals”. It also says “Pop in on the weekend to enjoy our delicious loukoumades (honey doughnuts)!” The shop’s own site lists Tuesday and Thursday 7am – 4pm, Friday and Saturday 7am – 5pm, Sunday 10am – 4pm, and closed Monday and Wednesday. We found no menu prices.
On the menu: the directory names ready-to-eat dishes, take-home meals and weekend loukoumades.
