Still the best Greek restaurant in Cape Town!The food is full of burst-in-your-mouth-full-of-flavour, with exceptional quality products being used. The portions are large enough to feed an army! Take-out is easy and fast, and the food quality and portion size matches in house dining. I would highly recommend.

Enjoyed my birthday dinner there. Had the Kalamari Mediterraneo for starters, Yiouvetsi Lamb my mains and Kataifi for dessert which I had to share because the servings were so generous and filling. Exceptionally great tasting food with efficient and friendly service. Thank you Thane and team for a wonderful experience. Hope to be back soon.

Food was amazing and the mezze portions generous and I will deffo be back during the day to enjoy the courtyard and a bottle of wine in the sun. I will however never order a cocktail here again as I ordered a Negroni as I usually do on a night out and what was presented to me was the furthest thing from a Negroni.

Such tasty Greek food and very kind service. I had the falafel which is the vegan option and my wife got the grilled calamari which was perfectly cooked.

What a gem! The food is quality and I love their honey (that comes along when you order rooibos tea). Aubergine salad is one of my favorites ❤️Service is generally good, I remember being warmly welcomed by a lovely lady with British accent and a gentleman when I visited a few times before.

Love it there at Marias. Beautiful location on the loveliest of plazas in Cape Town. Food is delicious especially the lamb dishes. You can share a vegetarian platter as well. Very good selection of wines and the baklava cigars as a desert are absolutely scrumptious. Very friendly service! Will come again!

This is my favorite restaurant in Cape Town. Incredibly authentic Greek food along with exceptional service. The place is also very affordable for both food and wine. We had some small dishes and loved everything. The staff even handed out food to some homeless people on the street which was an incredible gesture. A must-visit when in Cape Town!!

I absolutely love this place. Its homey and inviting and comforting. The decor is wonderful and clean.If you are looking for authentic Greek food with emphasis on authentic, this is the place to eat at. All the food on the menu is so good and can satisfy any hunger level from voracious to slightly peckish. There are not too many vegan options on the menu but the vegetarian option are amazing. The coffee is also excellent.I highly recommend stopping by if you can either for a quick bite or a full meal.You will not be disappointed.
