Hellas Taverna in Cheshire East

Great food. Lots of choice on the menu. Excellent service with dishes recommended. The lamb chops were delicious. Very cosy atmosphere. Would definitely return. Thankyou.

Amazing food! Lovely restaurant with great staff who give fantastic customer service. Couldn't fault them! Definitely recommend

A great experience, warm welcome, friendly staff, great good (lots of it) will be back with our friend Phil Thanks a lot - Yammas

Travelling for work and visited on a Tuesday with my team. Fantastic food, amazing service and atmosphere! Richard absolutely lovely! Best recommendations and had the best time. Vegetarian mezze amazing! Absolute mountains of food. Thank you. ☺️

What an amazing restaurant. The food was delicious and the cuisines service amazing. We had a brilliant night and can’t recommend highly enough 😊

1st time here, food was average, the spanakopita pies had been reheated in the microwave & didn't have much flavour. The lamb kleftico was basically a lamb shank, which was disappointing when we have experienced true Greek food in Greece. The service was good though & our food was served at good timings

Fabulous food, fabulous service

Food and staff were amazing you need to try this place!

Top notch authentic cuisine. Mouth watering dishes. Family friendly! Reasonable prices. Make sure you book - the place is ALWAYS fully booked. Truly remarkable, all plates I saw being cleared were licked clean! The revamp is delightful & the staff are happy to be there 😀 get a baklava from the bakery next door 👌 perfection!

The food tastes amazing. Customer service amazing. I really recommend.

Good food shame about getting order wrong but still being charged more for a meal I didn’t have and not willing to change the bill. Staff not overly attentive.

Really nice food, however be wary of going as a group as we come to find out they have a 10% service charge and with a group of people as you may know came to a large sum however didn’t seem worth it as the customer service wasn’t worth a £5 tip there was one staff member who was lovely however others would either completely walk past and ignore when respectfully trying to gain attention which i’d understand if they were busy (which they weren’t) overall lovely food and a nice place however would be a visit again if they had lovely and welcoming staff.

I have now taste the best, my children really live the atmosphere...... Thank you very much Taverna, i really love your services

Wonderful meal, staff are amazing so helpful friendly and can’t do enough for you highly recommend I had halloumi salad it was delicious

Second time here and oh my god the food and service is outstanding. Bravo, thank you Leddy and you will be seeing alot og me and my family x

We had a lovely meal here for my birthday - beautiful renovation, delicious food and great atmosphere! Generous portions and great value for money too. We've visited before the renovation several times and will definitely be going back again! Thank you for the great food and also the surprise birthday chocolate fudge cake too!

Recently expanded restaurant. Atmosphere is great. Food is excellent. Service is great. Highly recommend this restaurant.

A delightful Greek oasis in Handforth, Food is great, the staff are helpful and attentive. We dealt with Ella and Georgia who were knowledgable and friendly. Would recommend to anyone. We will be back

We were excited to revisit Hellas after our first visit last year for Mother's day, which we we all really enjoyed. This occasion was for my son-in-law's birthday and the restaurant has recently had an extension and refurb so we wanted try it again. It no longer opens for lunch so we arrived just after it had opened at 4pm. There were a couple of other tables taken but that was it. The waitress gave us all a menu but then did not return for some time to take the drinks order. Again more waiting for the drinks to arrive. Another waitress took our food order and again we had a lengthy wait. My daughter had ordered spanakopita and my husband the gigantes which was more like a soup as there was hardly any beans in the dish. The spanakopita was over cooked and a little burnt. The other starters were fine but the tzatziki should have had homemade bread with it and the creamy mushrooms crusty bread, we got pita bread. My husband had stifado for his main course which was blisteringly hot as if it had been microwaved and so he couldn't eat it. The side orders of rice had also been microwaved as the grains were crispy and dry! The other mains were good, kleftiko, paidakia (lamb chops) and gigantes (plenty of beans this time). We complained to Zidan, the head waiter and he did his best to make amends but we shall not be returning.

Excellent food lovely atmosphere and staff amazing ! Can’t wait to return .

Lovely, authentic food. Chicken was cooked to perfection!

Lovely atmosphere, great staff and generous portions! A true taste of Greece in Cheshire. It is a true pleasure to see this restaurant but and thriving this summer! ❤️

Felt like I was back on holiday... lovely food, amazing staff and incredible owners. Thank you

Visited with friends and had lovely authentic Greek food, really tasty. Generous portions and baklava is to die for! Friendly staff and will definitely visit again.

Cancelled just eat order to Wilmslow on two seperate occasions. Do not advertise a distance that you won’t drive to.

Hi My daughters recommended Hellas. They have been but must have been before refurb. I decided to go as i love Greek food and my friend only eats fist or vegi and there are loads of options. We decided on dips to start and just mains as starters may have been to much. The food we had was delicious, fresh dips and hot pitta. Kleftiko ....to die for!!! just melted. i had with potatoes and salad. Vegi moussaka and side salad was also chosen and very well received. The staff were polite, smiley and very efficient. I had defo food envy looking at some of the kebabs etc ,, so going back soon. Thank you Ela x

Excellent. Visited with friends after the makeover and it’s still amazing- but better! Very busy but this never detracts from the service and attentiveness of the staff. Great wine advice given, plenty of time to explain different dishes and what’s in them for allergy sufferers. Unfortunately Stifado wasn’t available but the Kleftico portion was so large I had it for lunch the following day too 🤣 Everyone had a starter and a main. No dips or shared starters but the portion size is large and delicious so all left feeling completely full. No room for dessert unfortunately- next time. Highly recommended

Excellent, tasty, healthy food. Large portions. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Great value for money. Definitely a restaurant to return to.

Paid a visit here after hearing of the refurbishment as we enjoyed it previously the restaurant is twice the size and the decor is lovely staff were very friendly and welcoming the food was excellent overall we had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend !

Don’t bother booking a specific table! As when you get there (dead on time) your table will have been given to someone else 😡 Generally food was okay and service was acceptable. One time visit I think!

I have been to Hellas twice in 10 days both times the food was delicious and great service. The restaurant was full and had a really good atmosphere. Will definitely be returning.

We have been here three times now over the last year and each has been an excellent experience. The recent revamp has made the restaurant seating area far bigger and smarter while still being cosy and inviting. We ordered the vegetarian Mezze for two on two visits (it just keeps on coming 🤤) and ordered a three course meal the other time. The best Greek food in Manchester of all the places we've been. Staff are really friendly without always being there, didn't feel rushed at all.

Food was absolutely beautiful. Well done Ela and team on creating a lovely restaurant. We will definitely be back.

Absolutely fantastic staff brilliant and friendly. food superb. Two people commented like being in greece. Just needed the sea . Will definitely go back

Absolutely amazing food and atmosphere. Definately returning in the future

First time visitors after the new renovation, and we were really impressed. The interior of the restaurant is welcoming and fresh. Both the food and the service were great. We tried the selection of dips with pita bread to start. I had the garlic prawns with tomato & feta and my wife had the beef. It was excellent. We would highly recommend and will definitely be back.

The Greek food here is the best,its a great place to celebrate any occasion or just have a meal for to with Authentic Greek music Playing in the background.

First visit, not our last! Warm, welcoming atmosphere, delicious food, big portions and reasonably priced. A wonderful birthday meal out, thank you 😊

We visited here for a birthday treat. We both had the mixed gyros and it was huge. I had to take half home. Another table also had too much food. It was hot and well presented. Lovely cosy place with background Greek music. When the member of staff realised it was my birthday I had a yummy slice of chocolate cake and candle which was very much appreciated. It made the occasion memorable. Thank you.

amazing food good service and good atmosphere 10/10 would recommend

Fantastic food in a lovely restaurant. It's small, but from February 2024 to mid March they're renovating to increase capacity. We'll be revisiting when they reopen.

We called into Hellas Taverna on Friday 05.01.2024 and what a thoroughly enjoyable experience from start to finish A wonderful, friendly, Greek welcome from the lovely proprietor who worked her socks off taking orders, delivering food and generally keeping everyone happy with her wonderfully warm personality Nothing was rushed, just as it should be in Greece, and the food, when it arrived was piping hot and extremely tasty. After a couple of dips with copious amounts of pitta my wife enjoyed the Chicken Souvlaki and I had the absolutely gorgeous, melt in the mouth, Beef Stifado. We were absolutely stuffed after enjoying these courses but, of course, we found an extra corner to share a Baklava with ice cream, well it would be rude not to !! This is definitely a very authentic Greek restaurant, wonderful to hear Greek tunes on the sound system, the decor and atmosphere is spot on and the family who own/run the business are just lovely people We would absolutely recommend Hellas and will certainly be back again to try some more dishes

Had a great meal here at the weekend.

Amazing food and really great staff. It was a bit chilly sat by the door, but still can't wait to go back again. Best tzatsiki ever!

Went here for my birthday tonight , was lovely very kind staff who were very helpful , even accommodated the fact that my nan had a stroke so has to bring in her own food coz she can't chew. The food was amazing especially the milk cake and gigantes mmmm 😍 lovely authentic greek food 😊

Had my 40th birthday here. Great evening, food delicious and served on time to all 36 of us. Would highly recommend!

Was booked in for a Saturday evening for several weeks. Show up on the day at the right time but they then inform me that they have cancelled all reservations for a private party. No communication at all regarding this. Extremely poor and would not recommend

Great fresh Greek food. Would have been 5 stars but on the night we went they had no rice. 2 local supermarkets could have served in emergency. Good service, food very good.

A lovely restaurant. We booked it for 11 of us for my mother in law's birthday. They were very accommodating for her dietary requirements, which was very much appreciated. We had the meat banquet which was more than we could eat, so we all had take out for the following day. Good food, reasonably priced, with good service. We all enjoyed our food that night, & the following day.

Great food, lovely staff, it will be a regular for us.

Great food. Great atmosphere. Love dining here!

Food and staff were amazing. I would definitely recommend Hellas Taverna.

Visited for the first time last night - such a lovely place! Great food, really welcoming staff, lovely atmosphere - so authentic! Can't wait to visit again - ευχαριστώ

Been here many times, great little Greek restaurant. Food is always 5 star and staff really friendly. Highly recommended!

Amazing meal - in fact one of the best meals I’ve had. We had chicken souvlaki, lamb kleftiko and mixed gyro. Highly recommended. Will definitely return next time we are at the airport.

Beautiful meal yet again. Love this place

On Monday evening June 26th, my sister, nephew and I were in Handforth and selected Hellas Taverna for dinner. We did not have a reservation and despite the number of diners a table was available for us. The whole experience was amazing and having travelled in Greece felt we could have been eating dinner in a good local taverna. There was music, appropriate decor and the food was of very high standard and generous portions. The wine list reflected a range of Greek or Cypriot white and red varietals, we enjoyed one from. Cyprus. The service again was good and personable and great care was given to my nephew’s renal diet. The meal in true style was the complimentary desert which was moist orange cake which was delicious. Thank you for excellent food and a most enjoyable evening.

Tasty greek food. A real gem in the area.

Tremendous little restaurant with brilliant attentive service and the food and wine was beautiful and great value. I would highly recommend. We will be returning.

Friendly relaxed, really tasty food large portions would definitely recommend

Fantastic family run restaurant with authentic Greek food. Great service, with a smile from Elie, food is perfect and plentiful.

Everything about our anniversary meal at Hellas was perfect. Lovely cosy restaurant with excellent service. Very friendly. Food was excellent and good portions. We had the lamb chops and chicken souvlaki. Gorgeous chips. Spanokopita and dolmades for starters. Half a karafe of wine and a couple of mythos. Not too expensive and gave us a little bit of Greece that we've been missing. We'll definitely be back.

We had to eat in a hurry. Great food, very prompt helpful service despite being very busy. I would strongly recommend you try it very generous portions.

Absolutely loved this place. An impromptu visit - welcomed warmly, served amazing melting lamb kleftiko, pillowy pittas, rich skordalia and a zingy fresh salad. Washed down with a couple of Mythos. Perfect. Then, next door to the little deli for some cakes to take home. The people of Handforth are lucky to have this family run gem of a restaurant. We will be travelling from Knutsford on a regular basis for a little piece of authentic Greece 🇬🇷🧡

Amazing food and lovely owner!! Can't beat real home cooked Greek cuisine..Best food by far on this trip to UK..ευχαριστώ πολύ για την φιλοξενία xxx 😘❤

Had an absolutely outstanding lunch at Hellas Taverna today. Family meal for 3 adults and 2 children (aged 3 and 7). The food was superb and is reason enough to seek out this restaurant and try everything on the menu. The salads and sharing starters were delicious. Refreshing, with real depth of flavour and texture. The mains - kleftiko and lamb chops. The kleftiko was divine. Succulent, tender and full of flavour. The jus was deep and rich in flavour and the vegetables melt in the mouth. Tha lamb chops are something else. There are two varieties to choose from. “English” or “Greek”. The English chops are fine. Normal size. Full of flavour and plenty of meat, but they are blown out of the water by the Greek chops. Small, from Much younger and much more tender milk fed lamb. The chops are small and delicate and are grilled to perfection. You get twice as many so the same amount of meat as if you order the English chops but you’ll never taste anything like it ever again - unless you come back for more! However no matter how great the food is it’s still not the best thing about this restaurant - the service is breathtaking. This is a family restaurant in the real sense of the word. Run by a family with love, care and passion but equally welcoming to families of all shapes and sizes. Nothing is too much trouble for the owners and they go out of their way to ensure that the usual stresses and worries that can come with dining with small children or children with additional needs simply don’t occur here. Thank you for a wonderful lunch. Our kids loved it and we will be back many more times

What a lovely Sunday afternoon. Decided to take my mum as a surprise for lunch and we were not disappointed. Ella and the team were so welcoming and attentive. We didn’t feel rushed at any point. The food, what more can I say than WOW! I felt like I’d walked in to a taverna is Greece. We will definitely be going back!

Food great but service not so good , drinks came late had to be reminded twice, and food took to long .I think they just had a bad night tonight maybe short staffed. I think having maybe one English staff in may have helped because it was hard work to order drinks and food because of translation problems

Visited Hellas on our way to the airport were we were staying overnight before an early flight the following morning & as the restaurant was only a 5 minute drive away we thought we’d give it a try.And what a good decision it was.Luckily I had booked prior to arriving as the restaurant was busy (it was a Thursday night).We had a selection of dips to start with fresh pittas which were delicious and then ordered Sea Bass & Chicken which were very much like the starters.I had a Mythos and some house red (drinkable but not great tbh) but on settling a very reasonably priced bill and heading off to the hotel by the airport,it was a brilliant start to our holiday and one that we’ll definitely repeat again in the future.

Highly recommend amazing food desserts and friendly people

2nd visit this year and exceeded expectations again! Such a wonderful, family run restaurant. You walk in the door and instantly feel like you’re in Greece, with the authentic decor and music. The food is absolutely delicious - too many dishes to recommend. This evening we shared gigantes, houmous, tzatziki, halloumi, calamari followed by pork souvlaki and the special biftekia. Served with salad, home made chips, rice and pitta. It was all fabulous. Ella is SO lovely and friendly. Highly recommend for couples, groups, families. Next door is a Greek patisserie with beautiful cakes and pastries, recommend going there too!! Don’t miss out!!

Fantastic food and excellent service!!😍

Ideal place to chill out. Great food, fairly priced, friedly staff and definitely the best place to hang around in Handforth. Keep up the good work, guys. We will see each other soon. 100% recommend!

What a little gem this is. Made to feel very welcome right from walking through the door, the service was excellent, and the hostess took time to have a chat. Food was fantastic, fresh, and of good quality, all cooked to perfection. The place was like a little sllice of Greece, very quaint and nice touch with Greek music playing in the background. We will be returning for sure. Thank you.

Absolutely fantastic. Great service from Ella and team. Held a special birthday party and the whole evening made it a night to remember with everyone saying how good it was and so much gorgeous food. An absolute must. Thank you

What a fantastic evening. Ella and her team did an amazing job. The food was authentic and portions abundant. Great vegetarian options too. The atmosphere made us feel like we were back in Greece. Strongly recommended.

What a beautiful meal at Hellas Taverna! The service was fantastic, food delicious and the atmosphere/decor/music made us feel like we were back in Greece! The portions were generous and we wish we could have eaten everything in one go but we can't wait to enjoy our leftovers at home tomorrow - we had the meat platter for 2! Thank you so much for such a wonderful meal! We can't wait to come back soon to introduce to friends and have even more delicious food!

Beautiful little place with amazing food and 2 lovely waitresses. Friendly warm atmosphere. 1st time but definitely will go again soon

I booked Hellas Taverna for Easter Sunday via their Facebook page! Booking was very easy and the restaurant responded back quickly. There is a car park around the corner on School Road. My Grandparents lived in Corfu so Greek cuisine has always been a big part of our diet so to have such authentic food locally is wonderful. I ordered the calamari which was delicious, plenty of rings and tzatziki. I then had the stifado as the main with chips, it was absolutely amazing, the beef just melted apart! This is a must

Been meaning to go for ages..Just been for evening dinner with my family including 3 children. The meal was absolutely fantastic and loved sharing all the dishes between us. The staff really lovely. My boys want to go back again tomorrow!! Really tasty food. Really refreshing change to other restaurants in Wilmslow- lovely family run restaurant with no pretentiousness. Massive bonus having the patisserie next door too!

An evening walk that turned into an evening meal at the Hellas Taverna ! Warm & welcoming service - delicious.

Excellent meal very friendly staff

Lovely place and food, we have been to Greece many times and know how it should be. The only grumble would be the bottles of Alpha were not fridged? Also an addition to the beer menu would be Fix and Mamos.

What a great place to eat very friendly, great food and service

Lovely little spot. Loved our breakfast and great service. The bakery next door is excellent too.

Lovely and friendly service. Food was delicious, I would be returning!

Great food, the bakery/take away is also fantastic!

Great food both in terms of quantity and quality. Price is reasonable and the atmosphere is really enjoyable. My wife and I ordered the vegetarian Greek banquet for 2. We enjoyed every parts of the meal and were completely full at the end.

Ordered me and my son the mixed gyros and 2 cheesecakes. I'm not over exaggerating when I say they were the best gyros and cheesecake I've ever had. Very fresh meat, sauces - you can tell are all freshly homemade. I will 100% order again and would highly recommend.

We were looking for a casual bite to eat with my mother in law who is Greek Cypriot. The food is okay, but the value for money isn’t there. We had no alcohol, only soft drinks and tap water, and shared a starter of dips for two people - the bill was £90. The price of the small greek salad for £8.99 really is scandalous. I like casual eating b/c it usually is good value for money - but that was missing here.

dined on a Sunday, not busy,had haloumi with salad to start, which was very nice, then kleftico, wasn't impressed, hardly any flavour to it & the rice was more like a pilau rice, not the nice plump & fluffy rice like the Greeks do.

I love this place! Lovely atmosphere,friendly staff , impeccable services and the most things the best food.

Really nice people, lovely food in a Greek rustic decorated restaurant

Great little restaurant with delicious Greek food at reasonable price.

Lovely food, lovely wine, lovely staff, lovely company, just Love you Hellas Taverna⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommend and we will be back very soon!

Oh my absolute god. This is by far the most authentic restaurant in the UK that I have been to. Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous.. Great food, great atmosphere, fantastic, friendly staff... There's absolutely nothing bad I can say about this place.. Well, apart from it's by aunties and not near me. 🥰🥰😂😅😂😂
