Stopped here for coffee and a bite of breakfast. Menu is limited but the pie I had was delicious and worth the wait. Coffees were really good. 7.30 seems a little late to be opening for breakfast though.

We booked a table at Alpha for lunch last Sunday for Mothers' Day. Our daughter and son-in-law had dined there before, and had loved everything about it. The six of us were given an excellent table close to the front of the restaurant, in a little private area but still part of the large, beautiful Alpha space. Our waiter was very knowledgeable about the menu, and offered great advice about what to order. We simply selected a whole lot of dishes and they brought them out in sequence. We started with a trio of dips, which were tzatziki, taramasalata and eggplant. Brilliant, especially the eggplant. They came with gorgeous soft bread and plenty of it. (We did order extra at the start). Then a grilled octopus dish, spanakopita (a whole one, served at the table), falafel(!) and this amazing homemade feta. The pièce de resistance was the slow cooked lamb. Massive, tender and soft, with potatoes and greens. Amazing. We had one bottle of Greek chardonnay, one beer, and tea or coffee for six. The bill was $300 including tip. Alpha is traditional Greek food at its very best. There were lots of tables of families, all enjoying themselves, creating a warm and welcoming ambience. We will definitely be back!

Beautiful Greek food in the heart of Sydney.

Not your traditional Grrek food however there are some classics on the menu.

We shared a mix of food but the houmas was the best I have ever tasted.

Although the decor is simple you feel like you are in Greece in big comfortable pillows on the chairs. ( needed for a post lunch siesta.)

Nine of us ate here for Mother's Day lunch. We were comfortably seated at a round table, which was wonderful for conversation. The restaurant is modern, airy and tastefully decorated. We had the set menu, which was sensational. Starting with dips, bread and warm olives, followed by haloumi, spanakopita, slow roasted lamb shoulder, greek salad, greek donuts with ice cream. It was truly a feast, fresh, well presented. Service was attentive and friendly. We also ordered the twice cooked octopus, which was tender, tasty and delicious.
