Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out friendly staff, backed by generous plates that arrive fresh and well cooked. Diners name the Garides Kritharoto with its huge prawns, lamb souvlaki with rosemary potatoes, lamb chops with bulgur wheat, chicken gyros, stuffed mushrooms and zucchini fritters, and one praises the meze spread. Vegetarians describe a dedicated veggie section on the menu, and a party with two celiac diners found plenty of gluten-free choices. Beers and drinks get a nod too, and several describe the room as clean, spacious and warm. Portions are repeatedly called a decent size, with one reviewer saying nobody leaves hungry. The only complaint is minor: one diner found the olives a little salty. Longtime regulars describe never having a bad meal over many years, and on a busy Saturday lunchtime one party says staff found them a table upstairs.

“This is a gem of a find as the food is just so amazing. I ordered Lamb Souvlaki and Rosemary Potatoes and they are so delicious. I tried the Risotto from my friend and that's so good. Definitely recommend this place if you are around the area and short of options for good food”

“Went for my birthday meal with wife and daughter's. There were great options and many gluten-free that was good as two of our party were celiac. We ordered a number of dishes and they were all fabulous. The beers and drinks also nice. The Keo beer is made in Cyprus so a nice touch as I had some many years ago in Cyprus. The staff were excellent, very helpful, friendly and attentive which made the whole experience and absolute pleasure. We would thoroughly recommend 👌”
