Diethnes Greek Restaurant

What a hidden gem! We enjoyed a delicious dinner of Greek classics, opting for some a la carte items that were both authentic and tasty. Nostalgia with fond favourites that did not disappoint! Our host Theo was welcoming, attentive and his tremendous service added to the wonderful experience. Highly recommend.

The food and service was so good that I forgot to take photos.
We decided on trying Diethnes after researching places in Sydney for top notch Greek food.
What appealed to me the most is that this place has been around for many years, and despite not being the most pretty venue around (i.e., not an instagrammable venue), they have survived the test of time. Diethnes delivered!
The atmosphere was great, walking down a stairway revealed a large open dining room scattered with white table cloths and red-upholstered chairs.
Service was warm and friendly. We had an unusual cocktail request which was no trouble for the bartender who knew exactly what we were after.
I overheard our server talking Greek to the gentlemen at the table next to us which added to the authentic feeling of the place.
But where Diethnes comes to life is the food. Genuine Greek cuisine designed for sharing.
The roast lamb was served without the bone and was cooked perfectly. Smaller dishes like the saganaki cheese and Taramasalata are a must.
Overall I am glad I chose Diethnes over other Greek restaurants in the city. I can see why they have been around for such a long time and I look forward to returning sometime soon.

Authentic Greek restaurant from the 80’s. The generous serving of fried Calamari was fresh and delicious. Side of hand-cut Chips was great!

Excellent from start to finish. I came to Sydney this week and went out for dinner with my colleagues. I was really impressed with the food, service and environment. Would 100% recommend to anyone. Congratulations to the team for a job well done.

You need to remember that this is old school tasty Greek food, it is not fussily plated, minimal servings.

Please bring back the bread on the table when you arrive and the whitebait! I really miss the whitebait!

Excellent food and service and reasonable price

Highly recommended delicious and authentic Greek cuisine that takes me back to my childhood memories of mums home cooking.

We got the set menu and all the courses were amazing. The stars of the menu were homestyle moussaka and the mouth watering and juicy lamb.

Staff were very friendly and offered great service.

Highly recommended ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Would 100% recommend this restaurant to anyone. Warm and friendly staff from the moment we walked into till the time we deaprted. The food was absolutely delicious.

We were able to get a table quickly, the waitress was friendly and helpful, and it really felt like a family atmosphere. Have the roasted eggplant, normally I hate eggplant and this I will attempt to replicate it was that good.

This is a must go to restaurant if you are ever in Sydney. Top Greek food, try the prawns saganaka, excellent but forgot to take photo because looked and tasted yummm. Cabbage rolls and vegetarian mousaka fantastic and very morish.

Great attention to detail and excellent service. I really enjoyed the food and my time here. I will definitely be coming back.

Me and a friend visited Diethnes for dinner last night at the recommendation of a friend and I would highly recommend dining here ! Their service is superb, their food is just to die for and the owners deserve your business. I got talking with the owners and the fact their family has owned this restaurant for over 4 decades is a testament to this places food and service I will definitely be coming back and would recommend this restaurant if anyone else is looking for a good Greek restaurant in the CBD! Keep up the great food and experience guys.

Loved the atmosphere in this place. Reminded me of good old-fashioned restaurants. Food was great too, service top notch.

Fantastic food and amazing service. Can definitely recommend to anyone who loves good Greek food. Will be going back again

I have been going to Diethnes for nearly 40 years. An integral part of our Christmas celebrations. Reliably delicious food!

Great service, great decor and very authentic greek vibe in general.

The food pretty good tasty authentic greek cuisine.

What an amazing restaurant, full of history and amazing food + service! Chris made our experience super authentic and warm. The owners are amazing too. Definitely recommend and will be back again.

Hands down one of the coolest Greek restaurants ever.

Authentic Greek cuisine with high flavour profile served bin equally authentic surrounds!

The food was really delicious and the service was outstanding. I believe the gentleman looking after our tables name was cleo? He was absolutely fantastic. Very happy to see so many of our favourite Greek wines and beers on the menu and my dad even finished his meal and got another serve of one of the starters he had as it was so delicious.
