Hellenika in Alkhobar brings a taste of Greece to the Eastern Province, set in a tranquil ambiance that mirrors the serene Mediterranean coast.
Located along the coastline, Hellenika offers an incredible sea view that adds to the dining experience, creating a setting that transports diners straight to the Greek islands.
We recommend starting off with the Hellenika dips tray for SR75 ($20), a delightful trio featuring Mediterranean hummus, cool tzatziki, and a spicy feta cheese spread, served with grilled corn pita bread. Each dip bursts with unique flavors, with the spicy feta adding a satisfying kick.
The cheese saganaki (SR60), a pan-melted Graviera cheese, is rich and indulgent, showcasing a simple yet bold Greek classic.
For mains, the kataifi prawns (SR85) wrapped in crispy filo pastry and served with florina mayo are a perfect blend of texture and taste.
Another standout is the chicken gyros tacos (SR55), a creative Greek-Mexican fusion combining chargrilled chicken, guacamole, tzatziki, and pickled onions. The omega salad (SR75) with kale, quinoa, pomegranate, and grilled manouri cheese offers a refreshing, nutrient-packed option.
End with loukoumade, Greek doughnut bites paired with vanilla olive oil ice cream, giving a unique finish to the meal. You can also pair your dessert with Greek coffee, which is strong and aromatic, providing an authentic taste of Greece.
Hellenika’s menu is on the pricier side, but the quality, authentic flavors, and fine-dining ambiance make it worth the cost.
Some dishes, like the Hellenika grilled meze, tend to be overly oily, which may not appeal to everyone.
The restaurant’s delightful flavors, breathtaking sea view, and inviting ambiance make it a go-to spot for Greek cuisine lovers.
