The closest you can get in Joburg to the atmosphere of a Greek island, Kolonaki Greek Kouzina has been a hit since its doors opened. Presided over by restaurateur Theo Holiasmenos and his son, chef Vassilios, there is a real sense of welcome as you enter the doors of the restaurant with its buzzing wraparound balconies and fashionable crowd. 

Service here is impressive and the menu beckons you to kick back and feast on meze dishes that are made for sharing and that show off the best of Greek and Mediterranean flavours. There's a wide choice so we suggest you take a crowd and be transported to a Greek island while feasting on authentic grilled octopus or chicken souvlakia.

Reservations are recommended.
