Exceptional(87)
Price: Expensive
• Greek • Ocean Grove
Booked 7 times today
A family friendly, modern Greek restaurant. Catering to dietaries, large bookings or private functions, as well as takeaway options. It is so natural for the Greeks to be drawn to hospitality roles that there is even a word with deep historical significance to describe it. ‘philoxenia’ ~ translating to ‘friend of a stranger’ (philos: friend and xenia: stranger). It is accepted as synonymous with hospitality, a willingness to share hospitality generously, and is even suggested to be part of the Greek DNA. When you dine at KALA you are no longer a stranger. You become part of the family. Kali Orexi!

We Italians like to say that a gesture is worth 1000 words. When our hands aren’t in use, creating or experimenting with canvas and brushes, marble and chisel, pan and pot, we mould air with our fingers. CHE VUOI which translates to ‘what do you want’ is often an involuntary gesture, something we can’t help doing… Like sharing our love for Nonna’s rustic family dishes, fresh homemade pastas, artisan wood fire pizzas and great wines in a simple and relaxed atmosphere. We would be humbled to see you come as a guest and leave as a friend. Ciao & Buon Appetito…

    We were seated outside, which was lovely, but there was no service at all. So this meant we had to keep going inside to order a wine or our food. That was a bit disappointing.

    As always we had a fabulous meal at Che Vuoi celebrating a family birthday. The food was fresh and delicious. The staff are next level friendly and nothing is too much bother. We actually do not go anywhere else for a family celebration - it's that great. See you there!!
