Welcome to Xenia Grill: Your Authentic Greek Dining Experience on the Gold Coast
Established as a family-owned Greek restaurant, Xenia Grill embodies the ancient Greek concept of hospitality known as 'philoxenia' - welcoming guests with genuine warmth and generosity. Our passion for authentic Greek cuisine is rooted in traditions from Kastellorizo Island, delivered through a menu featuring house-made dips, grilled meats, and coastal-inspired dishes paired with Greek and local wines. With venues in Coolangatta and Main Beach, we combine Mediterranean charm with modern coastal aesthetics to create immersive dining experiences. Our values of 'meraki' (soulful dedication) and 'yiasou' (a spirited greeting) guide our approach to food preparation, service excellence, and event hosting.We specialise in crafting memorable occasions through themed nights like Greek Night and Souvlaki Tuesday, while our catering team brings the essence of Greece to private functions. The restaurant's design philosophy integrates open-air dining spaces with intimate lounges, reflecting both traditional taverna elements and contemporary Gold Coast lifestyle. Our commitment to quality extends to using fresh, locally sourced ingredients that maintain the integrity of Greek culinary heritage while appealing to modern palates.

Food is excellent, cocktails and drinks are of the highest quality and the service from staff is outstanding. The restaurant itself is fantastic.
Sadly it's located within a retiree residence disguised as Cotton Beach Resort. It was pretty clear that the snobby and elderly residents place enormous pressure on restaurant guests and their kids on keeping ultra quiet ... Xenia you deserve to be in a better location where those around you don't spoil your guests evening.

The family love this place. The family feast is on the expensive side but worth it! It's our go-to special occasion takeaway dinner.

Our first visit to Xenia. We thoroughly enjoyed it. A party of 2, we booked the dining high tables and they suited us perfectly. The staff were friendly and regularly checking in on us. The summer smart casual atmosphere and delicious food made it a truly enjoyable evening. We are definitely going again.

Simply amazing flavour combinations. Loved every mouthful. The staff were all so friendly. So glad we chose this restaurant for an important celebration for 2. The hardest part was choosing what to eat because I wanted everything!!

We had the ever best takeaway from here. Everything was so incredibly tasty and such great value. We ate our beautiful feast on the beach at sunset and it couldn't be more perfect. The staff were so friendly and their service was impeccable. Highly recommend. We cannot wait to come back.
