Lefkas Taverna
$$Family-run Greek mezze and live bouzouki on Hardgrave Road
Spend a long evening working through shared platters of dips, grilled meats, seafood, and saganaki at one of West End's longest-running family-run Greek restaurants. Lefkas sits at 170 Hardgrave Road, just off the Boundary Street strip. The menu is built around generous shared mezze, traditional moussaka, lamb yiros, char-grilled souvlaki, and Greek salads piled with feta. Friday nights from 6pm there is live bouzouki music, and BYO wine is available with a corkage charge on quieter midweek nights. Open Tuesday through Saturday across lunch and dinner sittings — closed Mondays and most Sundays.
