Oh my goodness! My husband, a notoriously picky eater loved this place. We had the pork and chicken souvlaki platters. Served with skewers, both proteins were moist and juicy . Cooked perfectly. My husband DO NOT eat white meat but exclaimed it was exceptionally wonderful! Salad was extremely fresh with bright red tomatoes , crisp cucumbers, ice berg lettuce and white sliced onions . Nice. Portions were generous. Giovanni served us and was nice. We will definitely return. Food 5 stars Ambiance 4 stars Service 4 stars Value 4 1/2 stars read more

Cute little place, fiercely good cooking, passionate owner, and the best service you can possibly find! Very much loved everything. Salad came with a block of feta- which was freshly sourced. The dinner was an 11/10!!! Hooray read more

Really friendly and welcoming. Big portions and the food was amazing. Highly recommend.

One of the best meals in Vienna. Had the Souvaloki Mix and the pork and chicken was grilled to perfection, nice and juicy. Waiter was so friendly and nice. Come to this place when you are in Vienna. You will not be disappointed. read more

Amazing value and food! We had the chicken skewer plate. The chicken was tender and the portions were generous and perfect for one person. The waiter was so friendly! Please stop by if you are in Vienna if you get tired of eating schnitzel! read more

3.5/5 stars I was craving for Greek food, so we decided to drop in here. The portions are generous here, but I was a bit turned off b/c smoking indoors is allowed in here. Ordered: 1) Gyro plate: 3/5 eh, okay. The meat could've been better. 2) Octopus salad: 3.5/5 wow, the octopus was so soft and well marinated 3) Hummus/Mediterranean appetizer sampler: 4/5 No meat, but a plate of hummus, tahiti sauce, Muhamarra, Baba Ganoush, etc. I was a bit tired of eating so much meat in all my meals read more

Did not impress me for Greek food. I ordered the pork souvlaki plate and the pork was so tough I could barely cut it with my knife. Prices are reasonable around $9-$15 for the plates, entrees a bit higher. The portion sizes are large even by American standards! The plate was huge piled high with fries and meat and comes with tzatziki and salad. The tzatziki actually was delicious. One of my favorite Greek tastes. Drinks kind of expensive. A small bottle of water is 2.40 euro! The owner/server was nice and helpful though. CASH ONLY! read more

A nice family owned Greek restaurant. It has a small street-side covered area which seats about 20 people. The food was better than my fav Greek tavern back home. Service was very friendly, fast and efficient. One thing to note is I believe the place is cash only. read more

This place is soooooo good! I finish everything on the plate even tho I rarely eat that much. Recommend the starter will all kinds of dip, you really got to taste everything from that starter. The service was also excellent! And the portion size of food is huge! I wish I can come back again! Really recommend the gyro plate (even though I didn't get that one, looking at others eating it makes me want to try that too) would come back again if I could. read more

Great Greek food in Vienna! Having spent two weeks on Greek islands in July, I was a bit skeptical about finding good Greek food in Vienna. I'm glad I was wrong! Ellas Ouzeri was excellent, and very authentic Greek cuisine, with good prices and service. My wife and I split a Halloumi plate, gyro plate, and Greek salad and they were all delicious. The gyro meat was cooked to perfection and the fries were quite good. The Halloumi was excellent, and came with some veggies as well. The Greek salad was exactly how it was served on the Greek Islands, with plenty of olive oil and a giant brick of feta on top. Yum! Had a 1/2L of Mythos with dinner, and walked out of their full and happy, without a big hit to the wallet. Besides the food being good, the service was good as well. The staff was attentive, and the food came out very quickly. read more

Saw this place got great reviews so I decided I'd try it for myself-- definitely was not disappointed. I thought I loved Greek food before I came here-- now I realized I had never even tried the best of it! Will never be able to go back to my hometown little Greek places. It's a shame I can't take this place with me when I leave Austria. read more

This place is the best Greek food I've eaten. The location is amazing, the prices are unbeatable, and the staff is outstanding. They have meals for under four euros that will fill you up! The quality is high and the portion sizes are large. Definitely the best bang for your buck in the neighborhood. You will not regret eating here! read more

Pretty damn good Greek food; its not a luxury fine dining environment but the food is delish. The place: Another small hole in the wall place. I grabbed two friends and we spend a lazy afternoon eating there. Few tables, very relax. The kitchen is right behind you, giving you a dinner feel. Big windows in the front, so lots of light during the day. Parking: Ya I guess possible, but its near the center so I would recommend taking the U (either Stephan's or Stubentor, its less than a 2 min walk from the latter if I remember correctly). Bathroom: Ok, its an odd door in the back to walk through, was find. Nothing special or bad The food: Ok, I have had some super tasty Greek food in my life in terms of spice (not hot spice, I'm talking flavour). Was this flavour melting in my mouth and images of colour and running through prairies? No. But its really good hearty health(ish) food. I forget what exactly what my chicken eating friend had, but my other friend and I both had lamb (two different options), around 10 euros each, and it was pretty good. Each option was cooked it seemed in an oven clay pot with vegetables, so moist and dropping off the bone. Filling, without being disgustingly overwhelming. Plus the coffee I had there, greek coffee, was the best I had in all of Vienna thus far (think Cuban espresso or Turkish coffee to get the idea of what type of coffee I appreciate). So far, one of my favourite Greek places to eat in the world. Oh, plus the service, the guys were pretty cool (just chatty and appreciative enough without too much), there was Greek music without being too loud, and the food came pretty quickly (within 20 minutes or less). Then again I was with great friends. So overall, go and have a lovely lunch there. 10 Euros, worth it to me. read more

I can't say that the quality of the food is bad, because I would be lying, but make sure to when you ask for your bill you want it wrote down in a papper, specially if you're a foreigner, they tend to pretend they don't speak English , but when they want your money they will certainly speak the number almost fluently. I've been there a couple of times and it never came to my mind that they might tell me the wrong value at the end of my meal, so today I decided to have lunch there and I ordered a plate which costs me 8,90€, and a 500ml cola which I don't know the price because it isn't written in the menu. At the end I asked for the check, he didn't give me any paper which I could double check what I ordered, he just said "14,80€" , well I don't think a 500ml costs 5,90€, what's it inside? Gold? So my advice to the foreigners is: ALWAYS ASK FOR A WRITTEN BILL AND DON'T TRUST THEM Just to mention, the waiter is really rude as well read more

Oh my, what a great meal we had here. It's a little spot, just a handful of tables. Previous reviewers mentioning it was smoky were right. But it was a nice evening and with the door open, it didn't bother me (and I'm asthmatic). One of the things we've noticed in Vienna is that the waiters seem to resist providing recommendations for menus. We'll ask questions about items and get lots of "sure, that is pretty good" answers. Not here. We asked for recommendations. He gave them. When we picked something, if he had better ideas, he redirected us to something similar but better. The portions are generous and the food authentic and delicious. Definitely recommend the grilled cheese (not sandwich) appetizer, lamb and the grilled prawns. Would go back in a heartbeat! read more

Went here on a Saturday night since we didn't have reservations anywhere. It was a pleasant surprise. The place was empty for the most part. We got the feta cheese in olive oil and the gyro plate. Both came promptly. The feta cheese came with tomatoes, olives, cucumber, onion and lettuce. It was a perfect complement to the gyro plate, which came with lettuce, onion, garlic yogurt, bread, and the best french fries. We order extra bread which came out seasoned, warm and delicious. Would definitely recommend! read more

This was a solid little Greek restaurant with a few tables inside, a few tables outside, one waiter, and 2 kitchen staff. Portions are gigantic, prices were reasonable. We ordered Octopus salad, Lamb Furno, a Gyro platter, and a pfanne fisch filet. The pita was warm and fresh. The lamb was tender and flavorful. The octopus was tender. My only complaint was that the greens were a little wilty. We took home a doggie bag and ate the gyro platter cold the next day - still really yummy! If you like Greek food and a cozy family restaurant atmosphere, this is the place for you. Go later to avoid the crowd. read more

Really nice local place with a nice Greek food With a lotof variety different platter, really good service all the staff is smiling and happy did a good job read more

Very good Greek food. Nice friendly service, huge portions. We were looking for a place for a low-key dinner after a long day of sightseeing. The baba ganoush was outstanding, the dolmas were good. For mains, my husband had the souvlaki and I had a Greek salad. We had to get a piece of baklava to go, we were stuffed after our meal. They have Greek beer and nice light (low sugar) sodas. The only thing to be aware of is that smoking is allowed inside. I'm usually pretty sensitive to this, but the ventilation system seems good. For a small restaurant it wasn't too bothersome. I would definitely go back! read more

Excellent quality Greek food. We ordered gyros, mixed souvlaki, and a Greek salad. All three were spot on. The fried potatoes are outstanding. The Greek salad is probably the best I've ever had. read more

This was our second visit at Ellas. The expression "fool me once, shame on you...." comes to mind. The first time( 2 years ago)? we had an average eating experience coupled with poor service. I really like Greek food, so based on the yelp reviews, coupled with the proximity to our hotel, I thought I'd give it another chance. Nope. Same basic food. The service is slow and shotty. I cannot help but believe they are biased towards locals based on the how fast the German speaking patrons were served. Plus, patrons smoking at tables in close proximity was off putting. I would not recommend. They get three stars, because the grape leaves were legit. read more

Huge portions. Great service. Everything Greek. Finish off with the "Greek expresso". A great experience! But no credit cards accepted.

This is a very friendly, cozy and casual place with great Greek food. Gyro plate in particular was excellent as was the Saganaki starter, which was almost like a baked omelette. It is a smoking resteraunt, so be aware of that. Staff were very warm and service was great. We went on a cold Saturday night and at 9:30 there wasn't an empty seat in the house. read more

Very good food at this small Greek restaurant just off the main tourist area but very close to the Stephansdom. Very friendly wait-staff who likes Americans. Highly recommend it despite its initial modest appearance. The food is freshly prepared and delicious. Prices are also much lower than the tourist trap restaurants closer to Stephansplatz. read more

I don't want too many of you to know about this place. However, when a restaurant ranks amongst the best Greek food joints in Vienna, I have to share. The tzatziki is some of the best I've ever had-served with cucumber slices, olive and olive oil, along with pita as a starter. The small chicken souvlaki tasted excellent and came with potato rounds (fried and oh so delicious), pita, salad with marinated cucumber and more of that superior tzatziki. Oh my. The gyro plate and mixed grill were prepared to perfection. The service was friendly and efficient. The only complaint are the other patrons who are smokers and have little regard for anything, but their cancer causing addiction. read more

One chilly night while I was walking around, I found this place coming from the Stubentor station, as I was going toward the city centre/Stephansplatz. It was already crowded inside, but I was able to get a table outside. The weather was nice enough to where a light jacket was enough anyway, and I wanted to get some fresh air. Since I had already eaten dinner, I just wanted a place to sit down, to have a couple of drinks and some snacks. So, the first thing I ordered was an ouzo orange, which is basically what it is...ouzo with orange juice; I suppose you can call it a "Greek Screwdriver". Then I had a couple of tasty but healthy appetizers. I had some stuffed grape leaves, garnished with a small salad and some olives, tossed in olive oil. I also had some very delicious halloumi, which is a Greek or Cypriot white cheese, that doesn't melt when it is grilled, so it pretty much tastes like grilled pizza cheese without the sauce or the toppings. At first bite, I was like... mmmm, now that's good! It too came with a small salad and olives. At the end of the meal, the waiter was nice enough to give me something for the road, a shot of Grappa (Italian brandy). This being said, I will definitely be back, and the next time I will try their gyros and other grilled meats! I look forward to this. read more

Wonderful little cozy Greek restaurant in Vienna. Food was great, the staff very nice and friendly (nice change from some of the unfriendly cafes we have experienced in Vienna) read more

Great food and wonderful service! Inexpensive but high quality. Delicious tzatziki and moussaka just a couple blocks from Stephansdom.

I visited this place whilst at Vienna due to the great reviews. We ordered a greek salad, a chicken souvlaki and grilled burger. the good wad in general tasty but not somewhere I.would go again. the Greek salad wasn't what a traditional Greek salad is. There is no green salad in the Greek salad. the burger was a bit undercooked for my liking. I really appreciated the choice of french fries or rice as a side dish. the value for money is very good. big portions and good prices. I would recommend this place as a budget restraraunt wiry decent food but definitely not the best Greek food I have ever had. read more

Sick of schnitzel? We were heading for a more typical Viennese restaurant but having already had ample heavy meaty food, when we coincidentally happened to walk past Ellas, we decided to go for the tasty and relatively light food available from a Greek restaurant. The tables at the roadside are pleasant enough especially on a warm June evening- the road is very quiet apart from the horse drawn carriages which seem to head off for the night to their stable via this road, usually with a long queue of slow moving cars behind them! A friendly Richard Hammond lookalike took our order and while he spoke excellent Greek, actually was from Callabria in Italy! We ordered some starters and main courses and side dishes, so much so the waiter commented on how it was a lot of food but we wanted to sample a few dishes - we got through most of it which was almost a much as a surprise as the bill which was below 40 Euros. 2 nights later we returned and selected a bit less but didn't go hungry. We had eaten in a basic cafe/pizzeria before where the food was pretty average and yet the bill came to more there so were very pleased. Yia mas! read more

I was really keen to try this restaurant due to the rave reviews! Sadly, it did not meet expectations. One thing that surprised me was that the salad we ordered was brought out at the same time as the main. The tables are small, so it wasn't the best of ideas, but the people were friendly. The food - nothing to write home about. Tried the souvlaki main dish (which was served with fries, a pita bread, tzatziki and souvlaki of course) and was not impressed. It was nothing I couldn't make at home myself. read more

Great Greek food. Awesome taziki. The hummus was homemade and some of he best we have ever had. They surprised the kids with a Nutella crepe for desert! Highly recommend! read more

Great food, excellent service - truly the best. In a quiet local street location, close to the center of the heart of downtown and historic area. Traditional and authentic food. Outside and indoor seating. Truly a gem of a find. read more

The food was AMAZING. Coming from the great Greek food in the States, I was skeptical. But everything was delicious, from the Greek salad to the pita (omg yum) to the spectacular gyro and tzatziki plate (which they make with pork vs. the US where we make it with lamb/beef.) Our waiter was so fun and entertaining, and he gave us a parting shot of Ouzo as we left. Would highly recommend it! read more

Probably the best Greek food that I've ever had!! The tzatziki dip was delicious. Big portions as well. I got the chicken shawarma which came with potatoes, pita, veggies, and tzatziki. The service was great too. The waiter was really friendly! I would 100% recommend if you're craving Greek food in Vienna. read more

Great food and service! We were greeted with a warm welcome and had an exceptional time with all of the Greek dishes. I highly recommend!

Very good great food in an acceptable / cozy space. Like most reviewers, I dislike the smoking allowed policy, but it was tolerable.
