Zeus Street Greek Canberra City

Zeus Street Greek brings a fresh, modern take on traditional Hellenic cuisine to the heart of Canberra. Located at s7/21 Genge Street, this vibrant eatery has quickly become a go-to destination for locals and visitors craving authentic chargrilled meats, fluffy pita wraps, and house-made dips. With a menu built around bold flavors and quality Australian produce, every dish tells a story of family recipes passed down through generations and reimagined for today's palate.

The Canberra City location is part of a beloved Australian chain founded by three Greek-Australian mates. Their mission was simple: serve the kind of honest, delicious Greek food they grew up with, but in a relaxed, contemporary setting. Step inside and you'll find a welcoming atmosphere where the aroma of smoky chargrill fills the air and the team greets you like family. Whether you're dining in, grabbing takeaway, or ordering contactless delivery, Zeus Street Greek makes it easy to enjoy a mouthwatering meal.

Signature Dishes & Menu Highlights

The undisputed star of the menu is the Tzimmy™ Chicken. Born from bold flavors and big cravings, it features 100% Australian, RSPCA Approved chicken that's chargrilled for a signature smoky finish, basted in tangy lemon baste, and coated with the house Zeus spice rub. The result is juicy, tender meat with a crisp, flavorful exterior that keeps guests coming back for more.

No visit is complete without Yia Yia's Chips – the ultimate sidekick. Made from premium Tasmanian potatoes, these golden, crispy chips are tossed with sea salt and oregano for that perfectly seasoned crunch. Other favorites include Spartan Bowls, salad and rice bowls, a variety of pita wraps stuffed with freshly house-made tzatziki, ripe tomatoes, crisp Spanish onion, chopped parsley, and a shake of paprika, plus snacks, kids' meals, and the irresistible Loukoumades (Greek donuts) for dessert.

Fresh Ingredients & Authentic Preparation

Zeus Street Greek is committed to doing food honestly. That means locally sourced, thoughtfully prepared ingredients that respect a longstanding cultural relationship with good food. From the fresh vegetables and fluffy pitas to the extra virgin olive oil used throughout the kitchen, every component is chosen for quality and flavor. The house-made tzatziki is prepared fresh daily, creating a creamy, refreshing contrast to the smoky meats.

The chargrill is the heart of the kitchen, imparting that unmistakable flame-kissed taste that defines Greek street food. Meats are cooked to order, ensuring peak juiciness and tenderness in every bite. This dedication to freshness extends across the entire menu, whether you're ordering a hearty meat-packed wrap or a lighter salad bowl with grilled halloumi.
