  “First time here and thoroughly impressed both me and my 14 year old. To have a nonchalant teen boy note how good the service is, Your doing very well. Anya took care of us and was so warm, welcoming and knowledgeable without ever being too overbearing. We ordered 7 dishes between us two and can usually eat a decent amount. Every dish was so perfectly rich and flavoursome we had to take most of it away as we couldn't finish it. The wine also was absolutely stunning and so well curated. So refreshing to see new soft drinks from the usual too. DO NOT SLEEP ON THE TINNED FISH.”

  “Absolutely loved Kallos Café & Wine Bar! 🇬🇷🍷 The food was amazing serving authentic Greek flavours, traditional recipes and so much attention to detail. The atmosphere has such a beautiful Greek/Mediterranean feel, warm, welcoming and full of character. A little taste of Greece in Manchester. Highly recommend! ❤️”

  “Came across this place on Instagram and we booked it for an afternoon meal for our wedding anniversary. It was 3:30pm on a Friday so was quite quiet yet picking up.The food here was outstanding - I think it’s quite possibly the best meal I’ve had in Manchester.The waitresses were really helpful in explaining the menu and we were looked after really well - really great staff!An annoyance of mine at restaurants is when you finish your drink and either cant get a servers attention to get another, or it takes ages - not here; as soon as they spotted a drink was empty, it was cleared and offered another one.As I said, the food was exceptional; we had hummus, pitta (which was incredible!) courgette salad, feta in filo pastry, sausage flatbread… they even brought us a little dessert for our wedding anniversary which was a lovely touch.The drinks were great too - sparkling wine, Mythos (served with a frozen glass!), and Spritz were all great.Will definitely be back!”

  “Had such a great experience at Kallos! The food was truly amazing and the service was top tier too! The beef cheek was the nicest meat I’ve had in a really long time! They took out a candle and some cake for my partners birthday which was lovely. Will definitely be returning!”

  “Impromptu family lunch. Pitta bread unlike any we have seen or eaten. Absolutely complements the various dips and seasonal tomatoes, courgettes etc. Novel approach with various styles of tinned fish and variants of mayonnaise. Sharing plates giving plenty of variety.”

  “We visited Kallos a week ago. The food was excellent, interesting flavour pairing and excellent cooked. The coffee is also very good. The service was quite slow though. Apart from that, the experience was nice”

  “Absolutely delicious food, easily the best Greek I’ve had in the UK, creative and seasonal menu incorporating middle eastern influences. Staff are extremely polite and helpful, the space is clean and wine list extensive, I encourage anyone to try their coffee as it is also very well made and takes me back to happy memories of iced coffee in Greece. Personally the raw concrete and exposed ducting is not for me, but I will admit it does give the restaurant an open and relaxed vibe. If you like Greek food I would strongly encourage you to visit this tucked away gem that deserves its places in the Michelin guide.”

  “- tzatziki £4 - hummus £4 - feta £11 - lamb flatbread £12 - merguez flatbread £12.50 - mussel £12.50 - squid £15 - beef stifado £23 the lamb flatbread was collectively the standout, super fluffy bread and flavourful tender meat. the merguez one was good too but just slightly burnt. the fried feta in filo was rich and great for sharing, and the tinned squid had a surprisingly good texture and tasted fresh with the lemon! however, the mussels were too fishy (the sauce didn’t taste of much) and the beef stifado felt underwhelming for £23. service wasn’t the warmest upon arrival as we didn’t have a booking and things came out quite slowly/in random intervals (they also forgot one dish but did give it on the house). overall, wouldn’t be rushing back as the food wasn’t special!”

  “Perfect addition to Manchester. We absolutely love the Greek food/wine here. Atmosphere is buzzing. Ivan and Ioanna have created a great foodie focussed vibe. It is our second visit. We can't wait to come back.”

  “We visited having booked immediately after reading Jay Rayner's review in the FT, and can only echo his words - exceptional food, brilliant service, if you want some fine greek food and wine, this is the place to be! We ordered pitta breads, dips, anchovy & smoked taramasalata flatbread, kolokithokeftedes, tinned mackerel and then orange cake (Portokalopita) and baklava and honey for dessert. The breads were fantastic - freshly baked, drenched in oil and a smattering of salt, an absolute wonder to hold on your hand, rip up, and dip into your dips. Honestly, it's worth visiting for the bread alone. The tinned fish was also fantastic - again, it came with the fantastic freshly baked bread, alioli, lemon and pickled chilli. The mackerel was fabulous and accompanied the bread really well. And then with desserts, the Portokalopita was another standout - a filo pastry orange cake, I'd have it again in a heartbeat. If you've left room for dessert, order it. Service was friendly throughout and made us feel very welcome - thank you to Ivan and Anya (hopefully I've remembered the names right) for their service during our visit! And there was plenty of (Greek) wines available on the ample wine list, at a variety of prices. We had a pretty full on meal, in terms of what we ordered (we left very full) and drank, and with service it came to £114. For the quality of the food and how our visit went, it was worth every penny.”
