Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often point to generous portions, with the large mixed platter described as easily enough for two and a takeaway order praised for its meat and chip ration and consistent size. Close behind are friendly, polite staff and fast service, from a delivery driver who brings food hot and well presented to counter staff who were courteous. Diners also name the Greek salad as fresh and full of flavour, the chilli sauce as very good, and halloumi bites as a popular add-on. Gyros get a tasty verdict but are called a nightmare to eat. The caveats centre on value and detail. One reviewer found the pitta pieces inside like cardboard and the price high for what arrived, another felt the halloumi portion was too small for its cost, and a first-timer plans to order without onions next time because there seemed to be plenty. Several mention a chilled atmosphere with music, a student crowd, and a student discount. One pair ordered halloumi bites on top of the mixed platter purely out of gluttony.

“£7.50 for this amount of halloumi is not acceptable lol. Simple. Any human would understand. Tasty tho!”

“I’ve had Acropolis at various markets throughout the years, have also eaten inside their actual places, and ordered from there too so evidently, I think quite positively of the food. The gyros can be a nightmare to eat as they’ll inevitably …”

“Customer service: ***** Value for money: ***** Delivery: ***** Quality: ***** I've had a number of takeaways from here with family members and the delivery is always first class from a very polite driver. Food is delivered surprisingly fast and is always hot and we'll presented. Consistency and portion size is first class and quality is never compromised. You're my new favourite take-away ...”

“You do get a decent meat : chip ration. However, I did think it’s on the expensive side for what you get, and the little bits of pitta bread inside were like bits of cardboard. I did walk in to order and all the staff were polite. The chilli sauce was also very good!”
- Chris Sharp
“Never had Greek food before so didn’t no what to expect but overall really enjoyed it plenty of flavour however next time I will order without onions as it did seem to have quite a bit on but overall really nice food”
