  “I had a midweek dinner with a friend. The food was excellent and fairly prompt. The staff were very pleasant and polite. The only issue is that I couldn't see the name of the restaurant on the front, so I had to go inside and ask, to make sure I was in the right place.”

  “Yummy Greek supper at Tsiakkos in Maida Vale. We had a delicious beetroot salad and feta salad and for entrees we enjoyed the slow burnt pork (delicious dark pork crispy bits here & there too) & kleftiko (slow roasted fall off the bone lamb) both served with rice. Delicious. The food came faster than the check! Our server. George, was particularly pleasant too! Very busy on a Wednesday evening but we were seated promptly after arriving (7pm).”

  “Family run restaurant which still has the flair of homemade food with love. Food tastes fantastic and is served in sharing plates. A few years ago it was featured in the Guardian (well deserved) and unfortunately it's no longer a hidden, local gem. Thankfully the family maintained its down-to-earth, warm ethos.”

  “delicious dinner! Chicken souvlaki was v good but the winner of the night was the slow burnt pork. Hummus and pita was also amazing. One note is that the rice is definitely made with cinnamon which was perfect for the slow burnt pork but def not for everyone so get the salad if you don’t vibe w that. Baklava was almost like a spring roll and had a strong citrus flavor. It was yum tho. Oh and drinks were also lovely. I’ll be back for sure!”

  “Over the last 8 years of visits, this restaurant has never ceased to impress. It’s a local gem that I want to tell everyone about but at the same time want to keep the secret to myself. There is no better Greek restaurant in the city in my opinion. The food, the service, the cozy atmosphere can’t be beat. Dishes are fresh and full of flavor. Staff personalizes the experience in a way that always makes me want to come back.”

  “Tsiakkos & Charcoal is exactly the kind of place everyone should experience. No theatrics, just very good food done properly. Also, the service was impeccable and warm, which I sadly find hard to get in London so 10/10. And the banoffee pie… genuinely the best I’ve ever had. I’m still thinking about it Already planning a return.”

  “Absolutely charming! We were lucky to be welcomed as walk-ins, as the place was packed. The service was warm and attentive, and the food was fantastic—a traditional, high-quality meal that doesn’t rely on frills. The taramasalata was a standout, and the charcoal-grilled meats delivered amazing smoky flavour.”

  “This place has no signage on the outside. It is located no where near touristy part of town. And yet, it gets packed during dinner time. Every item served was simply great from beets and potatoes to lamb. Nothing unique. Just traditional Greek food cooked unbelievably and exceptionally well. Add lively yet intimate space and friendly service and you have what is clearly local favorite. Can’t recommend this place enough.”
