Hellas Taverna in Cheshire East

Absolutely fantastic food, service and atmosphere! You won’t be disappointed We had the lord of the grill huge portions

Lovely decoration of restaurant, after a wonderful trip to Tsvilli Zaykinthos a few months ago I felt I was back there with my mythos and the the vibe! Had a gyros platter super filling and had to take it home! Great portion for cost! Recommend this little taste of Greece!

Fantastic menu and great customer service. Unfortunately we only booked this restaurant as I really wanted to practice my Greek . I’ve been practicing my Greek for 380 days on Duolingo but unfortunately no one could speak Greek to me . Maybe we will book again but I really expected someone to be able to take my order in Greek

Absolutely amazing food. The chef is so lovely and was great help with the menu as I'm coeliac. Would recommend to everyone what an amazing team with brilliant atmosphere.

Fantastic Greek food, cooked to perfection, quick and friendly service. Will eat here again and again. Top nosh. Please try it.

Great food with fantastic service

We had an amazing experience at this Greek restaurant! The food was incredibly tasty—authentic flavors, fresh ingredients, and every dish was cooked to perfection. From the appetizers to the mains, each bite was packed with flavor. On top of that, the customer service was exceptional. The staff was warm, attentive, and made us feel so welcome, adding to the entire dining experience. We couldn’t have asked for a better meal or atmosphere. Highly recommend to anyone looking for fantastic Greek food and excellent service!

Couldn’t ask for anymore, great food at a reasonable price

One of the best places I’ve been to. Great food and awesome atmosphere. The staff is really friendly and nice. Definitely coming back!

Fantastic night and amazing food. Will be back for sure.

Fab food and service, 100% recommend!

Huge vegetarian options. A delight. Good service, friendly staff.

Fabulous food, service and atmosphere. Definitely recommend

Sooooo good, we will visit again. Definitely worth trying, it ticks all the boxes for me; great food, drinks and service plus child friendly, relaxed atmosphere

Beautiful new refurb, amazing food - portions are HUGE so great value and brilliant service !

1st visit BUT I cannot believe it was a lucky first visit! Went in on 22nd Oct 2024. Thank You to Ela's we will be back! The food was amazing! "Ela's Secret" for Starters WOW! Need that as a main. Everything cooked perfectly and hot (not warmed up) just fresh and wow! Service excellent. We were looked after by 2 waiters and both super friendly, attentive and knew how to have a laugh. (Genuinely top service). Price: Very reasonable. Not cheap but then quality food, service and atmosphere must be paid for and staff aren't free! So for me it was fair price for starters x 2, Mains x 2 and Drinks. (£66) Thank You again.

This is my second time coming here, the food, service and atmosphere are amazing. Richard served me and topped up the tzaziki when it was almost finished. Would definitely recommend going if you are in the area.

Fantastic restaurant! We had a table for 13 to celebrate a birthday and it was perfect from start to finish. Service was great and the food was delicious! Thanks so much, we will be back.

Fantastic local family run restaurant with fresh and delicious food

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

From the minute we walked in the door we felt welcomed! The service is so warm and friendly. The food is outstanding and just kept coming!! We will definitely be coming back!

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 😊

Amazing food, amazing service.Best restaurant in the area.

Very nice service and food was amazing 10/10

This place is the jewel in the crown for Handforth. The food is amazing, the staff are so welcoming and warm and the ambience and setting is authentically Greek. It’s so special to us as we love Greek food and culture. Well done guys, a truly great place 🇬🇷

Had a brilliant experience. We ordered the meat platter. Food was amazing

Amazing food and generous portions.

A real taste of Greece in the heart of Handforth! We enjoyed the service and the platters for two are more than enough food.

What a find in Handforth! Delicious authentic Greek food. Fantastic atmosphere and attentive staff. Thanks to Ela and her staff for making it our special place to eat.

Had a refurb since time we visited so we’re worrying it wasn’t going to be the same or have the same ambience… totally wrong… great atmosphere lovely service and amazing food

The food was amazing, the staff were super friendly and the atmosphere was great, would definitely recommend

Amazing food and service. Managed to squeeze us in last minute on a Saturday night and it was fabulous thank you.

Tasty food we got the set menu very filling and a great price, lovely staff friendly and helpful. We were here for a birthday and they made us feel special with a sing song and dessert. Will visit again!!

Wow! What a perfect example of why we all should support local businesses! The food, the service, the vibe - all authentic and incredible. Food was delicious, great menu and service made everyone feel special! The Gem of Wilmslow! 💎

Wow it was beautiful to say the least. Thanks so much . Portions were huge and food was very nice .Great customer service.Moi

Amazing food. Staff are good but just too busy

Brilliant evening tonight. Really enjoyed the food , service was exceptional from Richard and the team, felt very homely and we will definitely be back. Yamas :)

Great food, great service.cocktails were mint!!!

Great atmosphere and friendly staff!

Visited on numerous occasions food and service is exceptional as always. Friendly staff that go the extra mile to make you feel welcome.

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

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 !

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

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.

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

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.

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.
