Customer Review Summary
The lamb shank with orzo emerges as the dish reviewers return to most, repeatedly singled out as exceptional alongside the mix grill and souvlaki, which several describe as cooked well and full of flavor. Close behind, the shared starters draw consistent praise, with the tzatziki, taramasalata, and bread and dips called out by name, and the patatas or fries noted as well seasoned and crispy. Desserts get a mention too, including an orange sorbet with honey soaked pastry and an apple baklava, though one reviewer found a cheesecake-style option fairly ordinary. The decor, described as calming and inspired by the Greek islands, and the staff, called friendly and attentive throughout, come up often. A few reviewers flag the price as high for Greek food, and one notes a heavy food smell in the dining room and suggests checking the extractor. Multiple reviewers say they plan to return specifically for the lamb shank and orzo.

“We visited today as a big group with a toddler and had such a great experience. The food was absolutely delicious, everything we tried was excellent! The orzo with lamb shank was exceptional, and the grills were also really good. …”
- Daniele Francilia
“We had an amazing time at Fotia. We are loyal customers from Singapore and we tried also their newly open location in London. The food is delicious and makes you feel in Greece. We had most of their best sellers which are absolutely must must try from the octopus, saganaki and lamb shank of course with dips and a nice Greek salad. The staff has been taking care of us and very friendly and helped us guide through the choices. The venue is beautiful and very cosy. Thanks to Nikos, Anca and Jake for taking care of us.”
- Cath Davies
“I cannot recommend Fotia enough. The food was sublime, came very quickly, obviously freshly cooked with care and attention. We shared the bread and dips to start, the bread was light fluffy and crunchy, and the dips completely more ish…we would’ve licked the plates if we’d been at home! For mains we had the chicken kebabs and the patatas with paprika - the chicken was cooked to perfection and the patatas were delicious. The staff were so friendly and attentive, accommodating everything we asked for. We will definitely be back!”
