Metropolis Cafe Lake Oconee
A Fresh Arrival at Lake Oconee
Located at 1000 Parkside Main in Greensboro, Georgia, Metropolis Cafe Lake Oconee opened in the fall of 2024 to bring a new dining experience to the region. It blends Mediterranean and Indian flavors rooted in Greek heritage, making it a welcome addition to the Lake Oconee food scene.
What Sets Metropolis Cafe Apart
Metropolis Cafe combines three culinary influences, Greek, Mediterranean and Indian, to create a menu that is bold yet accessible. The restaurant’s tagline, “Where Mediterranean breezes meet Indian spice and Greek heritage,” captures this fusion.
From hand-crafted hummus and grilled pita to tandoori-marinated chicken and lamb shank biryani, the menu offers both familiar favorites and adventurous plates.
The setting is designed for both relaxed lunches and elevated dinners: a welcoming interior, a full bar, and a recently added covered patio that lets guests dine al-fresco.
