About Triakosia

Triakosia channels the warmth of a suburban taverna, dishing up charred meats, warm pita, and midweek rebetika music on Queens Parade. Diners head here for the open-style souvlaki platters—particularly the Andromache, loaded with seasoned lamb and chicken gyro alongside house tzatziki, hand-cut chips, and a crisp mesogeios salad topped with a generous block of feta. The room fills quickly with birthday celebrations and family gatherings, steered by spirited floor staff who keep the table banter lively. Weeknights take on an easy rhythm when live Greek musicians settle in, turning an ordinary dinner over octopus or lamb youvetsi into a spirited, lingering feast.

  • Communal Souvlaki Platters: Open souvlaki platters like the Andromache and Penelope arrive piled with gyro, pita, chips, and dips for shared dining.
  • Midweek Live Music: Midweek dinners feature live traditional Greek musicians and rebetika sets in the dining room.
  • Celebratory Taverna Energy: Hosts and servers keep group birthdays and family dinners humming with lively, welcoming service.

  • Authentic Charcoal-Grilled Meats and Classic Flavors

    Tender meats cooked over the charcoal grill pair with fresh warm pita and house tzatziki to deliver authentic Mediterranean taverna flavors.

    The meat was tender and perfectly seasoned, with just the right hint of char from the grill.

    Midweek dinner service features authentic live bouzouki and rebetika performances that transport diners straight to an island taverna.

    We went on a Wednesday night when the rebetika band performs and it made the experience even better!

    Our waitress was engaging and fun and we had such great banter throughout the night. She helped us secretly organise a candle for our birthday and added a great element to our night!

    First time trying Lamb Youvetsi with Orzo Pasta, and I absolutely loved it! 🤤 The lamb was so tender and flavourful, and best of all… no strong “lamb-y” smell! 😂
