Hellas Restaurant & Bakery - Greek restaurant in Tarpon Springs - 785 Dodecanese Blvd, USA

Not a secret I guess given the long lines of people at this restaurant. Food was delicious and service top notch! Reminds us of the good old days of neighborhood diners where good food and service brings you back again and again. Be prepared to wait for a table, leave your no. and go check out the shops and they text you when your table is ready. The wait today was over an hour! There is also an attached bakery with mouth watching treats though we were too full to sample this time. I read in reviews here that there is a parking lot for the restaurant behind it so definitely good to know. We feel that we overpaid for parking opp the sponge factory and realized cheaper parking is available if you drive down the main stretch. Next time!

While the restaurant may appear bustling and challenging to secure a table, rest assured, the service is remarkably swift, and the ambiance is exceptionally comfortable. Our server, Constantine (apologies if misspelled), exhibited impressive knowledge and unwavering politeness, despite a momentary oversight in taking my drink order at a table of seven – a lighthearted touch to the evening. The highlight for me was the appetizers; we indulged in six, along with complimentary bread. The hummus was delightfully flavorful, the Greek salad outstanding, and the Saganaki (flame cheese) reached top-notch status. Moving on to the entrees, they proved to be delectable, with the lamb chops standing out, although the absence of presentation gave the plates a buffet-like appearance. The bakery and dessert options added another layer of delight, prompting us to take home a box filled with assorted treats. Overall, the experience was enjoyable, and it's no surprise that this establishment stands as one of the most popular destinations in the area.

Eating at Hellas Restaurant is not just a meal; it's an event! My Greek-heritage dining companion was very impressed with the authentic selection of delicious choices! Service was friendly and attentive. Food was absolutely delightful and delicious! Don't forget to use Hellas dedicated parking lot up a short hill behind the restaurant. The adjacent counter-service bakery is perfect for extending your Greek culinary adventure at home! Highly recommended!

AMAZING Greek food! The assorted spreads is a must-get; the pita is warm and fluffy and each of the three spreads is delicious! The restaurant is beautiful, as well as the surrounding area, and the food came out very quick 😊🍽️ Great experience 🫶

Mixed review. The food was absolutely delicious. The price was fair for quality food in a touristy area. We've been here a lot for many many years and this was the first time we had a really lousy server. He was just so plain. It prevented me from ordering more because I was reluctant to ask questions and he seemed to not care. First time I was disappointed here but the team still deserves a five star rating.

You don't want to miss visiting this restaurant when in Tarpon Springs, Florida. The food was memorable and delicious. All the Greeks favorites are available. The staff is very welcoming and makes sure you will have a pleasant dining experience. Save room for the dessert or take one home from the Hellas Bakery.

Such a lovely place. Our waitress Karen was so kind and hardworking. Food was delicious. Bakery was just so amazing. Everything was delicious and so beautifully made and presented.

I recently dined at Hellas Restaurant & Bakery and indulged in their exquisite Combination Platter, featuring Gyro, Mousaka, Pastitsio, Dolmades, and a side of their delectable tzatziki sauce. Each dish was a symphony of flavors, showcasing the authentic taste of Greek cuisine. The gyro was perfectly seasoned, the Mousaka and Pastitsio were rich and comforting, while the Dolmades were a delightful burst of Mediterranean goodness. The tzatziki sauce complemented the platter flawlessly. The ambiance was charming, and the staff's hospitality enhanced the overall dining experience. Hellas Restaurant & Bakery truly delivers an outstanding culinary journey through the heart of Greece. Highly recommended!
