Together at Mazi: A Greek feast awaits at the Hellenic Club of Canberra

·

Get ready, everyone! The Hellenic Club of Canberra is embarking on an exciting new chapter in its storied culinary journey with the grand opening of Mazi, its brand-new Greek Mediterranean restaurant, on Thursday, December 5.

Mazi, which means “together” in Greek, perfectly encapsulates what the new restaurant is all about – a place to gather, share delicious meals, and celebrate life’s moments in good company.

A culinary dream team

Mazi is helmed by the dynamic duo of Spiros Tsiros and Petar Mlekanov, two passionate restaurateurs bringing a world of experience and a personal connection to Greek culture.

For Spiros, the Hellenic Club has been a cherished part of his life since he was just five years old. Now, as the proud operator of Mazi, he’s thrilled to create a warm and inviting space that feels like home. Petar, who grew up just 100km from the Greek border, brings his love of Greek and Mediterranean cuisine to every dish.

With flavours inspired by family traditions and the vibrant culture of Greece, Mazi promises an unforgettable dining experience infused with heart and heritage.

A taste of Greece, together

From the name itself, Mazi reflects the Hellenic Club’s vision: a place where friends and family come together to share incredible food, raise their glasses, and revel in life’s joys. Picture vibrant mezze platters, rich moussaka, fresh seafood, and traditional desserts, all crafted with love and authenticity.
