Tsindos Greek Restaurant

197 Lonsdale St

Tsindos isn’t the usual type of venue we’d cover here on What’s for Lunch? However, we believe it deserves the attention. Their service is friendly and awesome and the atmosphere feels genuine and traditional, while not too try-hard. Why wouldn’t we normally cover a place like Tsindos on What’s for Lunch? Mainly due to the price, and the fact that it leans more to the “restauranty” type of lunch venue, which we usually avoid.

Come to think of it though, the price isn’t too bad if you’re keen on the lunch specials. They do a really awesome $20 Banquet plate which includes a mix of Pitta, Gyro, Dips, & Haloumi. You can also get Lamb, Chicken, or Calamari Salad for $15 which is a great deal. Also on the lunch special menu is a simple Casserole with Rice, Fish and Chips, or the standard Spaghetti Bolognese.

What I can’t go past (ever) is the Chargrilled Menu. It’s more on the pricey side, but god damn it’s decent. The Piatela Kreatika (Mixed Grill) is easily the highlight of the menu and can be ordered for one or up to four people, great if you’re with a big crew. The Mixed Grill (pictured left) includes a range of Chicken, Gyro, Lamb Sausage, Lamb Koftas, and tradtional Greek Salad. All of which is amazing.

It’s pretty easy to get a table as they have heaps of space upstairs, so don’t worry about the size of your crew. Head there ASAP and do yourself a favour…Order the Mixed Grill!
