Customer Review Summary
The complaints are small but specific. One reviewer found the falafel wrap a bit dry until tzatziki was added, and another found the baklava too sweet. The fish portion was called small, and one diner wanted more pita for the dips. One would have preferred homemade fries. One group says staff steered them from the regular wrap to the larger skepasti for a main meal, and that advice proved right.

“Great experience on food, service & atmosphere. Complimentary still water, tasty wraps and mixed grill. Service persons cordial without pushing for more orders. This is is the first time I visited this restaurant. Definitely go back to this restaurant if visiting Edinburgh again. The table adjacent to mine ordered lamb shank looked so so good. I’ll order it next time when visiting again.”

“Food was nice but portion size for fish was small. Mixed grill was good as well as dips. Not enough pita for dips though.”

“Lovely staff and amazing food. The portions are filling, the falafel wrap was a bit dry but I asked them for some tzatziki and it paired so well with it. I would highly recommend the chocolate cake, if you love sweets then try their baklava, it was a bit too sweet to our liking. Overall it was an excellent experience, I would highly recommend.”

“Great value for money the gyros was under £10 and was super filling, we had the falafel one and they tasted super fresh. There seemed to be plenty of vegetarian and vegan options and prices were reasonable, would definitely return. We had a reservation and the restaurant was close to full but it was a Friday night.”

“We wanted to bring the true Greek flavours to the streets of Edinburgh. Some of our fondest childhood memories were those spent with family and friends, gathered together around a table for a meal made with love and affection, with recipes passed down through the generations and prepared with the essence of the Mediterranean at the heart of everything we do.”
