  “Food was incredibly oily, octopus too salty, beef cheeks were grisly and lamb kind of dry. Don’t recommend. Server was nice”

  “What an absolutely wonderful lunch experience. Thank you for helping make a special celebration for our friend even more memorable. From the moment we arrived, we were looked after, with the service being warm, professional, and welcoming. The food was exceptional, beautifully presented and full of flavour, and the wine list was equally impressive. The stunning décor and elegant surroundings created a fantastic atmosphere, making the whole experience feel truly special. Every detail was thoughtfully considered, and it was a pleasure to spend time in such a beautiful setting. We had a fantastic afternoon and will definitely be returning. Highly recommended.”

  “Best value for money Greek restaurant in London. The food quality is honestly great! The lamb was well seasoned and cooked beautifully, really tender. The Cretan pot salad was full of flavour, and honestly every dish we had was great. The wine was really good too and the service was attentive throughout without being over the top. A really enjoyable evening. We'll definitely be back.”

  “We had such a brilliant meal here. The menu is full of proper, traditional Cretan food cooked with real love. We started with the snails in an incredible umami sauce, a gorgeous Cretan pot salad, boureki, and a beef tartare that was honestly one of the best we’ve ever had. The kantaifi nest was high‑end take on saganaki. The gamopilafo was the standout, shredded chicken and lamb cooked in broth with buttery, risotto‑like rice, easily one of the tastiest Greek dishes I’ve had, and it genuinely reminded me of meals in the Cretan mountains. The mutton kebabs and tsigariasto lamb were unbelievably tender, and the spring greens were cooked perfectly. We finished with a hot sweet milk pudding that reminded me of an egg custard. Great cocktails, good wine, quick and friendly service, and a lovely atmosphere, but the food is the real star. If you love traditional dishes cooked to a seriously high standard, this place is absolutely worth it. Would recommend and will be returning 😊”

  “One of the best restaurants in London, especially for Greek (Cretan) food. Every single plate is packed with flavor and complexity. Their wine list is extensive and the owner/staff are just lovely people. I purposely come back here every time for a reason!”

  “An absolute gem! The food is incredibly fresh, with high-quality ingredients that you can truly taste in every bite. The stone sea bass was cooked to perfection — delicate, flavorful, and unforgettable. What made the experience even better was the warm, generous hospitality. The gentleman running the place is exceptionally welcoming and makes you feel right at home. Highly recommended!”

  “Came here as saw on first table and was amazing. The food was delicious and wine selection great. The tacos were a surprising highlight, although the lamb was slightly dry but still delicious. The staff were super helpful choosing the wine and very friendly. They could have topped up our wine glasses more frequently but that is a minor point.”
