Found this restaurant using this site. We weren't disappointed. The food was delicious, we had the banquet, and were able to change the vine leaves for something else. The staff were friendly and attentive. I would love to go back soon.

My family and I like to visit Perama every few months as we find it very family friendly and convenient. My children love sitting outdoors as they like to move around between courses and not feel restrained like in other establishments. We decided to drop in tonight in hope that we may get a table outside and we were lucky! Even on a cold day like today, we were all roasting under their gas heaters and I had to ask the waiter to turn it down.

The service was great but the highlight of the evening was the food. They do have a childrens menu but my little foodies like to get straight into the 'adults menu'. The children's favourites were the Skaras (as usual) and the Mulloway. I can't argue with them as the Mulloway in particular is probably the best fish dish I've had in some time!

However, my partner and I began our night by sharing the chilli mussels. I must admit, these were hubby's choice but I was quick to eat my share. I am now a mussel convert. We also enjoyed the Lobster Mousaka and the Lamb Kleftiko a perfect winter lamb dish cooked in a clay pot) for mains. Both were exceptional.
Most of all I find Perama great value for money. The dishes are generous and worth every cent!

Love this place, went Saturday and had the banquet, Greek food is one of my favourite cuisines and this is one of the best places. Food was delicious, staff were awesome and the price was good. We had the banquet and took our own wine. The kids' menu is great as well, we had 3 kids with us and they loved it all. I was jealous of their Vanilla Bean ice cream!

Heres the good and the bad news. The bad: The haloumi and fig: was nice tho could be perfect if the haloumi arrived sizzling hot and was more salty. The bean salad with fennel was poor. It tasted like canned beans and desperately needed garlic, good oil and lemon juice. The BBQ octopus was chewy, almost slimy, and not melt in the mouth.

The Good: The lamb scaras was excellent, smoky and straight out of the food tents of Alexander himself. The Greek salad and the feta cheese in it were perfect. The triangle pies do not work except the ricotta version, the other versions taste like you've used the leftovers from other dishes. Stick with the ricotta version. And running out of Greek wine, guys what is going on?

I must have had the lamb on an off night because it was very dry and burnt. However, I have had the banquet on other occasions and it was lovely. All in all Perama is an enjoyable night out. Lovely food, good service and great value and BYO is an added bonus.

Went to Perama for the 1st time last night. What can I say? The best food we've had in a long time. We had the banquet and the food just kept coming. The haloumi and figs and the lamb skaras were the highlights of the night. Great value for money too. Will definitely return.

I came to the restaurant many years ago and it always stuck in my mind. I tried over the last couple of years to go every now and again but it was usually booked out a couple of weeks in advance. I went again on Saturday night. This was the best meal that I have ever had in a greek restaurant. I am coming again!

We had the set courses and were totally happy! Service was outstanding and the food was a smorgasbord of flavours and dishes. The figs and cheese dish was amazing, as was the baked lamb. I felt like I was in Crete at Easter time eating banquets!

Recession? What recession! On Tuesday, tried to book for 2 on Friday night, earliest we could get in was 8.30 pm. Arrived and saw two floors of dining space chocker block full. We were seated on a cosy table upstairs, where we were immediately presented with a basket full of bread to gnaw on. We chose the filo pastry combo and the baklava pilaf as entrees, both were terrific, not huge serves, just right.

The filo dish was served quickly, and then there was a significant wait until the pilaf arrived. This was absolutely perfect for us as we share, therefore, transforming our meal into a three tier affair. However, if you are the traditional style diners who only wish to consume the one entree each and at the same time, or if you have special dietary conditions that prevent you from sharing, then you would not have been happy with the significant delay between entrees.

But I'll say again, this suited us just fine. For mains, we ordered the lamb along with the chicken. Both were enjoyable without blowing us away, with the lamb being barbequed and redolent with oregano. Service was a highlight, of a truly high standard. We didn't feel like we were being rushed, which is fast becoming the curse of the Sydney dining experience. We certainly enjoyed our meal here.
