Customer Review Summary
Generous portions anchor the praise for this Greek restaurant, with diners describing huge servings of dishes such as the mixed grill, full of flavour and fairly priced. One couple, who had never had juicy olives before, found them fabulous. A regular calls the Prawn Saganaki the best they have ever had and recommends it to everyone. Friendly service comes up almost as often as the food, with reviewers describing staff who are accommodating, welcoming and clearly enjoy their work. Repeat visitors say the food is delicious every time, and one calls it a lovely family run business with a great atmosphere. One group arrived without a reservation and still got a table. A party of six with two toddlers had games brought over for the children right away, and the children's food came out first.

“Had a fantastic meal here for our daughter’s birthday - gorgeous food and the staff are incredible. We had a table of 6 including two toddlers - the staff immediately brought over games for the toddlers and the children’s food came out first so everyone was happy. Really reasonably priced for the amount of food and quality.”
