Timothy Cassimatis

Timothy Cassimatis is the owner and chef of Olympic Meats, a grill house located in Marrickville, Australia, that specializes in authentic Greek gyros. Drawing inspiration from his family's culinary traditions in the Peloponnese, Cassimatis emphasizes the use of fresh, homemade ingredients, including sourdough pita baked in a wood-fire oven and meat marinated over three days. His commitment to traditional cooking methods, such as using a horizontal rotisserie and preparing everything in-house, aims to recreate the true flavors of Greece while honoring his family's heritage. Cassimatis previously worked as head chef at Barzaari before launching his catering business and eventually opening Olympic Meats to share his passion for genuine Greek cuisine with the local community.
