To my knowledge, there isn't a huge difference between Eros Kafe and it's neighbouring counterpart Eros Ouzeri. The menu's seem to include many similar dishes with a few differences here and there, where Kafe is slightly cheaper. Despite the similarities between the menus, I've always chosen to go to Kafe - it's atmosphere is much cosier, and the heating outside during the cold weather makes it a perfect smoker's spot! The last time I was there I tried a dish that featured on the specials board. There's no chance of me remembering what it was called, but it was almost like a rustic beef stew. Considering it was winter at the time, it was the perfect dish to accomodate to the cold night air, and well worth the money. I'm glad I chose to try something different that night, as I was very skeptical about ordering a moussaka at $27.50 each - it just didn't seem justified to me. The service was impeccable - our waiter made sure we had enough to drink, enough water and ensured that we were happy with our evening. The great service really topped off the experience. The coffee was great as usual, and we didn't seem to wait for too long despite how busy it was inside. So far I've yet to be disappointed with the team at Kafe, I've yet to find out what service is like next door. read more

Eros Kafe is right next door to Eros Ouzeri but I've always found the Kafe a much less expensive eating experience than the Ouzeri. If you love indulging in Greek Food, the Eros Kafe named after Eros the Greek God of Love, is the place for you to indulge. This is a great chance to share food and have a taste of a range of different dishes from the menu. The food at Eros Kafe is a mxiture of modern and traditional and many of the newer dishes are modern takes on old favourites with a twist added to jazz them up for a new era of diners. I can't go past their range of dips and their dolmades which is odd because I never usually order dolmades but I love them here. Eros Kafe is not your typical cafe. It's still a white table cloth dining experience but is just a little more casual than the restaurant next door. Both establishments are located in the old Adelaide Fruit Exchange Building, originally built in 1905. Its a great setting for a restaurant as it has managed to retain much of its charm and personality and that comes through in the dining experience. Located on the corner of Rundle Street and Vardon Avenue, Eros Kafe is a first class meal without the big price tag of its bigger brother next door. read more

Eros Kafe - Greek Near Me - Adelaide, SA

This place is fantastic. One of the best restaurants I have tried so far during my holiday. The food actually has great flavor! The octopus was delicious but a little over cooked and I was compensated for it without hesitation. Not too many places have such great service and food. The Garithes Saganaki really has a delicious tomato sauce. I would definitely visit again if I were in the area. read more

This place was very busy when we got here, but we didn't mind sitting up the back and the staff were really nice. We got our food quickly and it was amazing, my boyfriend got the mousakka, I got the lamb cutlets with a potato salad and coleslaw and we got chips with oregano and feta crumble to share.. So so so yummy!! I was literally eating the cutlets with my hands. So good We are from Perth, there isn't meany Greek restaurants around so this was a pleasure to come to. Rundle at is a beauty read more

"Are you here for lunch?" "Yes, please." "Sorry, you can't. The kitchen doesn't open until 12." I looked at the people sitting inside and out. "What time is it?" "I don't know." I checked my phone. "It's 11.58." It was not a good start. Fortunately, the food side of things was much better. My lamb salad was excellent, and cooked just as I requested. My partner's beetroot salad was great. We could not crack a smile or even eye contact out of our waiter, but them's the breaks, and the wine was a generous pour. So if you feel like some delicious Greek food, but don't mind if the service is surly, then Eros is the place to go. read more

Eros Kafe has been a regular haunt since I first moved to Adelaide eight years ago. Cheaper than the next door Eros Restaurant, (and not owned by the same people) Eros Kafe provides the diner with the well priced Greek food at an excellent position to watch the world go by. To get the most out of your experience here I suggest you go for the banquet options, I have never seen anyone leave hungry when this is ordered. If you are there for a small bite and a gossip over a coffee the Saganaki cheese and dips are a favourite of my friends and I and at lunch the burger is well priced at around $16. The wine list here caters to my love of full bodied wines with Mothers Milk being a favourite to order. The Kafe is a place that people come back to, I have met so many people through the years who come back time and time again, mainly for the strong coffee in winter and iced coffee in summer, as well as the reasonably priced food and wonderful atmosphere in the heart of the city! *relishthegoodthymes read more

Eros Kafe - Loukanika (Greek sausage) - Greek Near Me - Adelaide, SA

While the food was good and service friendly and efficient, the evening was spoilt by poor acoustics and a level of ambient noise so loud it was physically painful. I was forced to cut my meal short and flee simply because of the discomfort. read more

It's average food with some staff that seem to still be getting their smiles fixed on (apart from the one lady server who was the one gem). Some language barriers make it an interesting greek experience, though I couldn't say whether the staff were greek. Otherwise its the normal greek fare - hummus, taramasalata, etc. Greek lab dishes and a few bits and pieces that are not particularly inspiring but standard fare. Cafe is clean as are the toilets which is good, and they do have Coopers which is a bonus. read more

Right next to the old Eros restaurant (update 2016 Eros no longer there!) this place is twice as quick, usually better and the atmosphere is more intimate and ok priced considering the quality. It's a great place from all week full Greek breakfast through to dinner and in between . When it comes to money and food, 'no' doesn't exist in Greek. Being near the cinema they are used to serving quick. Their menu is compact but it's still a restaurant range, yet if you only want a few tapas selections go with the daily specials. It's all fresh, clean and tasty and cooked in an open view clean kitchen. Very consistent food and service paired with great wine. read more

Eros Kafe is a life saver in Adelaide. We pass few soulless places in this area and were in a need for great food, good drink and decent service. They have earned all 4 stars without a doubt. Brilliant crew, great positive attitude and service. Delicious Greek food, Mythos! and wine. read more

Visited here with three others on our way to the movies the other night. A glass of wine and some little meze kept us away from cinema junk food (well, except for ice cream!). The service was friendly, but pretty relaxed. The place was pretty empty at 5 pm! The food was very nice. We shared saganaki, dips, calamari and melt-in-your-mouth zucchini fritters. Yum. Just what we were after and about $25 pp. And just across the road from the cinema. read more

Fantastic food (moussaka was what I chose) friendly service and a cosy candlelit atmosphere complete with Greek music. Excellent experience

Eros Kafe wants to be the place you take people to impress them. It has got lovely décor, the vibe is impressive. It'd be harsh on the wallet to pay for your date's meal, but they'd be pretty swept off their feet. Unfortunately, it is not that place. It's the place that makes you and your date have a fight during the bus journey home. They're disappointed that the meal took so long to come. You're resentful that they charged so much for what were average burgers. I ate at Eros recently with two friends. It took four asks to get a menu, meals took an eternity to arrive. Our orders were not fulfilled correctly - one burger did not have hommus and table staff were unhelpful in rectifying this situation. Both burgers were average - not the sort of thing you pay $16.50 for. When we wanted to leave (who am I kidding - we wanted to leave from the moment the burger arrived without hommus) we had to ask twice to get the bill. This is the sort of shoddy service you might tolerate in a cheap diner that served impressive food. At this sort of place it is completely out of order. FAIL. read more

Terrible. Terrible. Terrible. Took FOREVER for the food to arrive. "Roasted" potatoes were near raw, supposed to be rosemary, but sprinkled with tinned dried rosemary, tasted terrible, calamari way too salty, lamb tough as leather and in no way flavoured in a Greek way, it was chilli hot and strange, almost Asian. The staff were vague and uninterested, and when I complained about the food they just shrugged, said sorry and charged me full price. $70 for two main (but VERY small serves) meals and one tiny rotten potato side dish - no drinks, no dessert. OVER PRICED. They left the front door open so we were all freezing cold and the room constantly filled with the smoke from people outside. It's a classic example of crappy food in a great location, happens all the time in Adelaide, no great food on Rundle street or the Parade Norwood. read more

We went as a party of six and chose the banquet option at $35 per head. Service was a little slow, but friendly and professional enough. The banquet comprised of: Pita bread and dips - All were somewhat bland. Dolmathes - These were pretty nice Fried Haloumi-like cheese - This was too salty. Also the presentation was lacking. It was served as a pile of six slices layered on top of each other. We tried to take one each but that last few had all started to stick together. By the last slice it was a mess of greasy cheese and was not very appetising. Chickpea balls - These were ok, a bit like falafel balls. The flavour was mild. There was nothing super exciting about these. Greek salad - A standard salad, not much feta included. Lamb Souvlaki - This was pretty nice, the meat was really tender and still a little pink in the middle. The mix of spices used was good and flavoursome. Chargrilled Chicken - This was ok. There was a bit of smokey chargrill flavour but it wasn't out of this world. The presentation was a little disappointing. It was served on top of a lettuce and artichoke salad. This led to the chicken being a little cold. Kalamari - Just ok. Overall the presentation of the food was unexciting and there was no stand-out dish that i would want to go back for. The venue also had a problem in that the front door does not close easily and will stay open if people don't pull it closed behind them, and when the wait-staff serve outside tables. It was a cold winter's day when we were there and I watched to two tables in front of the door shivering each time the door was opened, and having to get up and close the door themselves sometimes. It would have ruined dinner to be sat in front of that door. There were prepared to split the account which was nice - everyone should do this! read more

I visited Eros Kafe over the long weekend and to say it bluntly I was extremely disappointed. The service was very poor with my party having to ask 4 times for a menu and for the table to be cleaned over a period of 20mins. After finally ordering it took the staff a ridiculous amount of time to figure out they couldn't provide me with what i had ordered, instead I received a very unattractive, dry and very distasteful burger. The staff came across as very unhelpful and didn't make any effort to satisfy my friends and I- definitely not a place I will be going back to any time soon. read more

Eros food is tasty however it is not comparable to the competition in Adelaide's diverse selection of great restaurants when it comes to value for money. With all the great food out there and amazing greek restaurants to choose from they can't afford to be stingy or to get it so wrong! We ordered skewered prawns and were told the large had six skewers and the small three. We naturally ordered the small as three of us were sharing. What came out however was one and half full skewers or the equivalent of that cut in half to give three tiny halves of a skewer. First negative. The second was the over priced yiros meat at $34. This was advertised as charcoal lamb shoulder. What we got was not charcoal lamb shoulder. So we were surprised when we were presented with this tiny dish of dry over cooked shaved lamb ie yiros meat with some pita bread and a dollop of tzaziki on the side. We had expected succulent slow cooked lamb shoulder with chunky pieces on the plate not yiros meat. That we could have gotten from across the road at the yiros take out place for a third of the price and better quality than the dry meat we were given. A friend had ordered the lamb cutlets which was generous in size in comparison and true to its description and only $30. The saganaki was delicious and the salted potatoes not bad. Service was ok. If Eros reads this I hope you pick up your game and make the necessary changes to rectify the above. It's a shame because location wise is prime, just not the food compared to what else is out there. read more
