Today is the 13th of March, 2026, and there’s exciting news for food lovers in Coral Springs! Hellenic, a restaurant focusing on Greek and Mediterranean-inspired dining, has officially opened its doors at 10436 West Atlantic Boulevard. Led by the talented Chef Nikol Zarbalas, Hellenic promises a delightful dining experience featuring 100% house-made, from-scratch cooking.
After a successful soft opening in early January 2026, the restaurant is gearing up for its grand opening later this month. Patrons can look forward to a full bar program and a menu that showcases traditional Greek flavors with modern interpretations. Hellenic’s menu includes shareable plates and à la carte options, ensuring there’s something for everyone.
Signature Dishes and Community Focus
Signature menu items at Hellenic are bound to tantalize taste buds. Notable dishes include the Greek Heat Wings appetizer, the Greek Quesadilla and Greek Dip handhelds, and mouthwatering entrées like Kataifi Fried Shrimp, Moussaka, and Smothered Chicken. For those with a sweet tooth, the dessert menu features treats such as Bougatsa, Baklava, and Baklava cheesecake.
Chef Zarbalas, who grew up in a Greek household with roots in the Peloponnese region, has a rich background in hospitality. Before launching Hellenic, she operated Hellenic Republic and ran a catering company. The new location has ten times the indoor capacity of the previous restaurant, which closed in January 2025. Zarbalas has received positive feedback from the community, including a viral social media video that garnered over 200,000 views.
Restaurant Atmosphere and Sustainability
The design of Hellenic is modern yet inviting, featuring polished concrete floors, exposed ceilings, warm lighting, and a communal table repurposed from the original location. To foster a sense of community, Hellenic hosts a free library where guests can take or leave books, creating a cozy atmosphere for diners.
In addition to its culinary offerings, Hellenic emphasizes sustainability by donating surplus food to the community. This commitment reflects Chef Zarbalas’s desire to teach her children about hospitality and restaurant skills through their family business. She has no plans to sell or open another restaurant, focusing her efforts on making Hellenic a beloved establishment in Coral Springs.
Hellenic is open for lunch and dinner from Tuesday to Saturday, noon to 10 PM, and offers brunch on Sundays from noon to 4 PM. For more information, visit their website or call (954) 323-2450. Reservations can be made via OpenTable, ensuring a spot at this exciting new dining destination.
