   This place was lovely. In particular I need to point out that the staff were really welcoming and made us feel comfortable. They offered to take our coats, and then one of us had forgotten our phones in the coat pockets and we to get them, but the staff said they can get it for us, AND they asked permission if they can dig into the pocket to find it! Further, they got us our coats just as we were leaving so we didn’t need to ask them. I really appreciated these simple gestures and felt they need to be lauded. The food was excellent. I got the lamb and aubergine dish. Both so succulent and tasty. The vine leaves were lovely. The okra was OK: a bit too lemony for me. Shame that the mousakka use broad beans! Would have liked to try.

   First time eating here, the food are great, service is top notch, ambiance and atmosphere is lovely. My waiter told me to try the legendary greek wine first as it was unique with a taste of pine and it was helpful - ended up with half bottle of it. Lamb Shashlik with the rice was my fav - flavourful without lamb smell.

   I came across this restaurant by chance. My wife and I were walking around and saw that the terrace was full, so we looked at the menu and decided to stay for dinner. I'm the kind of person who, when I arrive at a restaurant I don't know, I ask the waiter for recommendations of their best dishes and lets himself guide me. When the waiter arrived, I asked him if he could recommend any of their specialties, and he told me, quite arrogantly, that he didn't recommend them because all of their dishes are good. So I decided to order fried calamari, which arrived without any sauce. We also ordered hummus, and it arrived without any vegetables or bread. We had to ask for extra bread. Then came the lamp chop, sea bass, and Greek salad. The food, in general, was quite basic and tasteless. We finished dinner and left halfway through the meal. We asked for the bill and told the waiter that we needed the receipt with the VAT breakdown, to which the waiter replied that the receipt had VAT. I tried to explain that the receipt didn't have the VAT breakdown, and he started arguing, claiming that they'd been working for years and always gave out that receipt, and that it already had the VAT. Anyway, to avoid further arguments with the waiter, I paid and left. I hope the manager or owner can resolve the VAT issue and give it to their customers when they need it. It doesn't cost anything, and it's our right to obtain the receipt with the VAT breakdown. And I hope that you can provide better service in the future.

   We went here for a networking dinner organized by London Business School. The evening followed a fixed set menu, which started with a wide range of small dishes (meze) served for everyone to share—both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. I really enjoyed the Tuna Fish Salad—flavourful and well-made. The bread was fine, though I’ve had better in other Greek restaurants. After the shared dishes, we each chose one of five main courses. I had the grilled salmon, which was very good, but note that mains don’t come with side dishes. To finish, you choose one dessert from three options. Overall, a solid group dining experience with plenty of variety and delicious food.

   Upscale Mediterranean Restaurant near Regents Park with a fantastic three course lunch replete with grilled fresh catch, grilled lamb, Greek yogurt & berries. Turkish delight a plus! So great, went a second time and sat indoors for a dinner either excellent service, grilled sardines and lamb.

   Nice comfy food. The service was fast and kind. Everything was tasty but not super impressive. Maybe because we had vegan dishes. The only thing I can complain is that when we asked the bill they brought some sweets, which were not vegan, even the waiter knowing about it. The waiter said: 'Sorry, not for you'. For next time, it would be nice if they gave an alternative (for example something like halva)

   We visited this place for a team lunch on a weekday. The location is very convenient and is a really short walk from Chalk Farm Road tube station on the Northern Line. The building is well decorated and captures you from the moment you walk in. The interior creates an impression and feels like being in a summer garden. The staff is very friendly, welcoming and did engaged from the very beginning. They offered to get our coats and show us all the available menus, including specials. We ordered some wine which was offered well chilled and we tasted prior to service. The food arrived literally a few minutes of ordering and was well presented and of a great quality and portion size. When we ordered a second bottle of different wine, the glasses were changed. Mains were also of great quality, taste, and size. Plates were very hot, and we were warned about it. Desert menus were presented at the end and offered great choices and authentic Greek dishes. Lovely place and memorable experience. Will definitely return.

   Really great food. The Octopus salad is fresh & zesty & I’ll definitely come back just for that alone. Service was super fast & on the ball, there was no waiting around for menus, the food or the bill. Was very busy & the waiter was really efficient. Just don’t sit upstairs! Looks like a granny’s flat… Ask to sit downstairs where it is more vibrant & lively.

   Not easy to make it through the tasting menu, because of its generosity. We certainly enjoyed and the room in the back under the glass ceiling is very cosy. Yes, right, all you can see in the photos was served to two persons!!!
