Kuzina

Everything was perfect. The vibe of the place, the service, the FOOD! The price is a bit high but the value is worth it. I ordered pita bread, humus, and octopus sti schara to start. The pita and guns you could tell were fresh and mild. Not too heavy which made for a great starter. Then the octopus was well cooked and the sauce and side vegetables (sweet sun dried tomatoes and garbanzo beans) made for a perfect second starter. For the main entree I had the astakamakoronada which is essentially spaghetti pasta marinated with a large, fresh crayfish. I paired it with the pinotage (a uniquely South African wine). So good! I highly highly highly recommend this spot if deciding between other restaurants in the area!

Visiting Kolonaki Greek Kouzina in Parkhurst, Randburg, is like taking a mini-trip to Greece without leaving Johannesburg. The menu is a mix of modern and traditional Greek dishes, and each item we ordered had its own unique flavor. The tiger kataifi was a crispy delight, and the beetroot hummus was a refreshing change with its earthy taste. The hummus, tahini & lamb were rich and savory, while the grilled bifteiki was tender and well-seasoned. Now, onto the pork belly - it was cooked to perfection, tender with a nice crunch on the outside. The roasted cauliflower was a pleasant surprise, light yet flavorful, and the Greek salad was fresh, with each ingredient shining through. The service was exceptional. It was one of those places where the staff just knows when to come around. I barely reached for the water bottle when a waiter appeared, ready to pour it for me. It’s the small gestures like this that really elevate the dining experience. Kolonaki has a relaxed, friendly vibe which makes it a great spot for a casual dinner or a gathering with friends. The staff is attentive, the ambiance is comfortable, and the food is delicious. It’s a place where good food meets good service in a cozy, welcoming setting.

Great restaurant with a welcoming atmosphere very chilled as well the vibe is lovely , the food is delicious this is my second visit I’ve only tried the whole fish the octopus and the Hamus and pita bread I must say both times the food was amazing, we had to make a reservation as the restaurant can be packed, not surprising once you there you will understand why it’s a preference for choice. The staff is also attentive they respond with a smile at a wave , that’s definitely great customer service as they also welcome you from the entrance, good place to create life long memories. Definitely a 100/10

Stepping into Kolonaki is like being transported to Greece; the decor, the greenery, the ambiance—everything collectively evokes a sense of being far from Johannesburg. The warm and welcoming staff only enhance the overall experience. Then, the food arrives, and your taste buds rejoice in the explosion of delightful flavors. Personal favorites include the Kolonaki Feta, Halloumi with honey, and the unforgettable Prawn Kataifi. Everything I've tried there has been nothing short of extraordinary. They also offer a delightful selection of cocktails and desserts. It's the kind of restaurant suitable for any occasion, whether it's entertaining clients, dining with family, enjoying a romantic date, or simply hanging out with friends; all will be equally impressed.

Atmosphere was great and the service was very professional and timely. Our waiter was very friendly throughout the process and the food and drinks came in a timely manner. The food was packed with flavour! I’d personally suggest the beef short rib; amazing sweetness to it and extremely tender. The deep fried calamari was also managing and the tirosalata packed a punch! The heat was balanced by the yogurt base which was great. Overall, amazing experience!

I come here often with family... and we keep going back for a reason. We love it! Weather we are catching up with family from overseas or I'm on a date night with my wife, Koloknaki has really been consistent with great food, service and drinks. They have nice main meals but we have found that getting a bunch of their Tapas for the table was much nicer as you get to taste many of their delicious dishes.
