Customer Review Summary

Lamb souvla is the dish reviewers return to most, described as falling off the bone, tender and perfectly cooked. Close behind are the calamari, halloumi, mixed grill and kebabs, with the courgette keftedes and tzatziki singled out among the starters and one diner enjoying the meze. Generous portions come up repeatedly, and several describe friendly, welcoming, relaxed service. The complaints are more pointed. Two reviewers describe a rude waiter, one feeling pushed to tip, the other saying the wrong main arrived twice and the waiter argued it was what they ordered. That same diner found that asking for a kebab in pitta removed the chips from the plate, so they had to be bought as an extra. Some call the food pricey, though others say the portions justify it. One early reviewer felt the chips and T-bone needed work, then returned and found the chips improved. Two reviewers criticise the small plate of fruit served at the end for how it looks.

    “So much quality food! Very good value for money, very friendly staff. The starters were big portions and the mixed grill was perfection. Amazingly fresh salad as well, so tasty. Had some left over and took it away after.”

    “The food & service is so consistently good, it is almost boring !! Each time I visit i try different main dishes and I have never been disappointed. The courgettes keftedes are always my go to starter and they are the best i have tried. Keep it up 😋”
  • Sharon L
    “Just had a lovely meal(30/05/26) Delicious and just full of flavour. Service was smiley, not overbearing and professional. Combined with the gorgeous weather the atmosphere was relaxing....... I had the calamari and liver to follow, all fresh and a treat to the taste buds. Thanks for a relaxing evening 5 stars all round 🧿”
  • Lily Georgiou
    “Very good authentic Greek food - we had kebabs, generous portion sizes and really flavourful. The dips are also nice, the tzatziki is really tasty. In my opinion, they are more expensive than other Greek restaurants but worth the money”
