4.6 / 5.0(2,871 reviews)

Went there on a recommendation. It was really nice. Table for two on a Friday afternoon at 2.30. We had the mini meze. Didn't know what it was (research next time). But the waiter brought out seven or eight mini dishes and some warm pitta. We scoffed it down thinking that was it, both full but asked for the desert menu. He said, but you've not had your main course yet! So, lamb kebab, chicken kebab and kofta between two with a Greek salad and on the side. It was amazingly lovely. Along with our drinks (a diet coke and glass of house white). We finished of with a baklava and a pistachio cake. Yum yum Total bill......£63.95. Again, amazing. I can only give it 10/10. I’ve had a good amount of Greek food in the UK, but this one will have a special place on my palette!! The Kleftiko, oh the Kleftiko!!! Flavour. Tender. Perfection. Trust me, you have to have this. I also had Taramasalata, Dolmades, Halloumi and king Prawn. Shout out to Vasili; really great guy. Such wonderful customer service. You will have no regret trying this restaurant..you can come back and tell me otherwise. We had such a amazing time here for our celebration dinner! Vasilli made the atmosphere very fun and his service was impeccable! Can't forget to mention the free bubbles & baklava on the house! Love that they don't force you to order a set menu in a big group unlike many other restaurants. Recommend any big groups to come here!😊

What an incredible find! This authentic Greek gem completely blew us away. The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, delicious, and made with real care. Andy, our server, was fantastic: warm, knowledgeable, and made us feel right at home. Every detail was spot on, and very reasonable prices too. Truly a perfect dining experience from start to finish. Thank you for the end to a wonderful weekend trip to London!

Came here for lunch with my best friend. First of all the restaurant is lovely itself. We got the Meze starter to share and then I got the Alexander Platter which was delicious! Amazing service from Andy, hope to be back again, thank you so much!
