Dimitris Ballas

Believe the hype -the pies are delicious (not so sure about their lukewarm take on eggs ). One of the very few Greek places in London worth visiting again -along with Mazi restaurant in Notting Hill .

sofiagk

Cute space and excellent starters. Some mains (like the lamb ) are great too. Do try the chocolate baklava for dessert . They have a nice deli downstairs too. Read more

You can't but love it! Nice atmosphere, cool deco, warm people, food's good. Don't miss it, it definitely gives you a good idea on how it feels to be in Greece . In here it's always sunny!

Melissa +squeak

Home-cooked, family-style Greek specialties. Heartwarming stews ; spot-on pies (feta , wild greens, etc.); fresh cheeses and preserves too. The real real Greek in London. A hidden gem .

Dilek Unar

Very nice, well-decorated Greek cafe in a very good location. Delicious pastry with feta cheese and spinach . They sell a great variety of products from Greece . However, service is so so.

Eva Ci

Finally food tastes like home. Good quality, good service and such a nice interior place. Looking forward to go back!

Ben Greensmith

Great meze board and Greek wine selection . Good gyro and friendly staff . Nice Frappe and a great Greek feel. Totally recommend and will visit again.

The Taste Sheriff

Amazing food and great vibe. They have lunch options to go and a nice sit down area. Only downside is that their ventilation is weak so you might be a bit smelly afterwards.

Alex Nikolov

Usually bring my guests here and no one has been disappointed. Amazing lunch options. Very good a la carte. Waiters are a bit slow but food is worth it. Also nice Greek products for sale.

Kostas Staveris

Brobably the best Greek restaurant in London , the seat is not very comfortable but the food is very decent and the selection in Greek wine ???? is big!!

Kate Arkless Gray

Much enjoyed the smoked aubergine and butter bean starters which I had as a combined main. Still too much to eat!

Zafeiris Syrras

Tastes are brilliant ! Greek and modern EUROPEAN with high quality ingredients. Service always the best !!

Susan Loh

went late at night and they were out of the most popular dishes, but happy to say that everything we did order was excellent! friendly service as well !

Πιστούλα

Excellent Greek food ! The place is really cosy although a bit overcrowded. Worth a visit!

Kikujiro

Finally a place that respects soup . 4.5 if take-away - proper bread included. Ideal for office droids like me. Coffee is also good - smooth and rich.

Giacomo Mason

Really nice spot for a lunch break! Got some pasta with meatballs , it was delicious (albeit quite a heavy one)

Petros Ximerakis

Yummy and good quality food, especially the imam. Only downside the waitress pointing out that they don't include service charge, but they prefer cash for their tips.

Ksenia V.

Stuffed Aubergine - OMG to-die for. The service is also very friendly and jovial; albeit it may appear a bot chaotic :)

Eleni Sardi

The cheese and ham platter is really lovely! Wash it down with a glass of white Kyklos wine , very good!

George Aba

A part of Greece in the heart of London ! Tasteful and pure greek products to buy! Try the freddo espresso !

John Bochoridis

Amazing restaurant with delicious Greek pies and real_tasty coffee . Good prices also. You should try it.

Keith Etherington

Try the Greek wine . You'll be pleasantly surprised!

Katerina Anna

All the products are organic , collected from small farms all over Greece . The coffee is from Ozone coffee roasters , fair traded and delicious!

Eirini Km

Greek food at it's best. On Sundays you will feel Greece in your heart by the music .

Alexandros a

Best spanakoryzo in London, and sokofreta-ion amygdalou for desert ???? untranslatable, only Greeks will get this.

Andrew Marks

Some of the best service I've had in London! The appetiser plater is all kinds of deliciousness on a plate.

Maria Manoli-Zafeiropoulou

The food is delicious and cooked "with care". Great place for Greek cuisine . However, it is a bit overpriced...

Alexandra Goldstein

Properly authentic Greek food and a delicious house red . The aubergine dip and octopus pasta are particularly good.

Luke Kpaint

Good coffee , amazing Greek food , extensive Greek wine list. Most of the prices are reasonable.

Bora Demiralan

They have ok omlette , great feta and spinach pastries . Greek herbal tea should have waited at least 5 mins! Otherwise it gets too weak!

mariam asmar

Amazing and delicious food. Thank you for such a wonderful meal and all your generosity.

Helen T

Cute place and very friendly staff . I enjoyed the mushroom risotto :)

Nelson Junior Marques

The lamb and the pasta are amazing. Quiet , reserved , but a friendly place.

Yiota Pap

Delicious Greek food but during lunchtime the service is a little slow! You should definitely try their Greek coffee !

Dinos Radis

Want greek delicacies in the heart of London ? That's the place to be!

Sravanti Tekumalla

Great vegetarian options , including a daily vegetarian main and salad .

Marc de Marcillac

Great bistro-like Greek restaurant with the best Greek food I've ever had.

Panagiotis Bouros

Real Greek food ! The pork with leek I had was delicious!

Ellie S

Great PR, but no quality. Overpriced food, bougatsa NOT the way originally eaten, and staff that gives a bad name to Greek people. In Greece we smile and we are polite!

Aika Shapran

Excellent location for a wine and mezze with a friend

Sass Monios

They have one of the best brownies I have ever tried. It's a must!

Ilaria Bommarito

Staff very friendly ! Food is just amazing and the wine is very tasty!

Nice food and nice athmosphere. But requires thin tradiyional ouzo glasses.

Lisa

So goooooood! Finished everything easily!

Bastian Greshake Tzovaras

Great for vegetarians , wonderful cheese pies !

David Nichols

Get the octopus and a side. Octopus is delicious but not very filling.

Justine B.

Nice food, deli and great wine list but disorganised service, better not be in a hurry...
