Went to Alexander the Great Club in Livingstone Rd Marrickville with a couple of friends. Food was plentiful and they gave us complimentary dishes. Great service, shame the place was almost empty.

We, The Marrickville Style Council, ventured to the new location in the Alexander the Great Club in Livingstone Rd Marrickville. The food was great, way too much for us ladies to eat, so we took much of it home. They gave us complementary fresh oysters, zucchini fritters were lovely, the spanokapita(?) light and fresh, ohmigod the stuffed olives! lamb skewers, fresh soft flat bread, even an interesting albeit small wine list.

A great location too. One day soon this will be discovered. They are new there and we wish them well. Decor is dated and shall I say, eccentric, so we mark the ambience down but it also added to the charm. A great find. I hope they can keep it up.

This is a good place to go in a group. The mezes were really nice, and the waitress went to some efforts to satisfy spinach pie cravings (they had run out) so she found some cheese ones. Had the roast lamb and roast chicken for mains (shared platters) which were really good, but the calamari was a real let down as it was very battered and the chips were soggy and greasy.

We had plenty of food and if we had ordered more mains (there were 8 of us) we wouldn't have been able to eat it. It also would have been very expensive! It was $90 for 2 excluding drinks but including tip, think that is about average for a restaurant these days. Overall, recommended!

We were invited to Kafenes with a group of friends. The staff were friendly and attentive they gave us great advice on menu selections and its good to go to a place that wait staff know so much about the food.

We shared entrees and a selection of mains everything was delicious.
What a great night, food was divine, service exceptional and friendly even though it was a busy night.

Another great night at Kafenes a few weeks ago. Went with a group of guys and once again had loads of good quality food. This place has real traditional style Greek food, which means big quantity and well cooked food. Prices were good and the fact that the place is BYO was a plus! For about $35-$40 we had a huge dinner that we all loved.

Being an Enmore resident this place is one of favourites and I can't stop talking about it to everyone.

Update 25.10.2010: We revisited Kafenes with my gf and relatives and had a wonderful time. We had the $40 set menu and we were impressed with the quantity and quality of food. Even though a Saturday night and the shop was very busy, the service was exceptional and waitresses were very attentive and friendly. We are surely going to go back again and we would recommend it to everyone. A must visit!

An okay place but nothing to get excited about. Food was okay and reasonable prices, but the service was a bit lacklustre. A smile or a bit of rapport would have been nice. I think they do a steady bit of business due to the Enmore theatre across the road so they can afford to be a bit average. Not really a destination place but if you're in the area for a show then give it a try.

Lovely lamb dishes. Other dishes average. Reasonably priced, but don't take children. Quote from waitress "can you stop child from crying, we have other customers". We were not made feel welcome at all. We hurried down our meal as we got the impression we were an inconvenience. We have been there a few times before (without children) but after this experience will never return.

We also used a voucher and found the staff to be friendly and efficient, even though we were very late to our reservation due to traffic, after previously changing it a couple of times. Food arrived quickly, there was lots of it and it was tasty, except for a few cheap cuts of meat on the mixed grill (along with some nice ones). Food was flavourful and warm and we particularly liked the dips and dessert. Plates weren't removed that quickly, but we didn't mind as the restaurant was full and servers busy. Ambience isn't the best, but better than many places in that stretch of Enmore Rd. It was tasty and quick, so I'd return if in the area for a show or something.

We too had a "jumpOnIt" $59 deal for 2. It was difficult to get a booking for the night we originally wanted, now I understand why, they are always booked out. Enjoyed all three courses, felt it was good value. Service was very friendly but slow. Overall a pleasant night out.

Paid $59 (Jump On voucher) for what would normally cost $122. Had the most expensive fixed menu (normally $45 per head) coffee and dessert. Dips were good, zucchini dumplings, meatballs and prawns were very good. Mixed grill was OK (not great) and cold. Coffee and kadaif (dessert) were a highlight. Service was quite pleasant but our plates were not replaced over the first 3 courses (that is, not before the dessert). Overall Ok bet nothing special.
