Gazi, Restaurant Review

Fancy a bit of fun dining this month? Well then, head on down to Greek restaurant Gazi.

With a menu packed full of Greek treats, Gazi have re-imagined the lowly kebab and turned it into a luxurious treat. Sample any of the souvlaki on offer, and you’ll be sinking your teeth into succulent marinated beef brisket, chicken, duck or crab. Here you can enjoy charred flatbreads, roast bull-horn peppers with chargrilled cuttlefish, witlof, garlic dressing or crispy lambs brains, depending on how daring you’re feeling. For a real taste of Greece, order the Saganaki(fried cheese!) with a side of Horiatiki, or village salad to you and I.

A main course will set you back around $9-$14 here, and with a lively atmosphere, it makes for the perfect place to go for group meals. With a great wine list, incorporating both Australian and Greek wines, you can even head to
Gazi for a couple of drinks.

Not forgetting Greek food’s usual purpose of filling up slightly inebriated customer’s tummies, Gazi also does a take away service, so if you wish to try and stave off your hangover for the next day with a healthy dose of meat, salad and bread whilst walking home, this is certainly a good way to do it.

If you’re a bit stuck for what to do on Christmas Day, seeing as it’s fairly mild, you may well want to make it a Gazi Christmas as they’ll be throwing on a spread for $120 per person, which will no doubt fill you up as much as your standard day of turkey, Quality Streets and pigs in blankets! In fact, Gazi will be serving turkey from the spit and 12-hour slow-roasted lamb – so stuff that usual old dry mess that we always try and pretend to our mothers tastes nice.
