Great ambience and very friendly staff. Quick service. Food quality medium to low. The octopus dish which was supposed to be a main was literally a portion for a starter and charged £26!!! The bed of fava was just a spoonful … only the mousaka was a decent portion and very well made, delicious. The lachanodolmades very mediocre and the bougatsa stale and hardly any cream in it; served with Nutella ??!!! Portions could be more generous for the prices charged. We found it expensive for the quality.

Feta and Honey starter one of the best things I’ve eaten in London. Would categorize the rest of the food as good but not great.

Good food and plenty of it. The waiter was honest enough to tell my friend and I that we had over ordered as the portions were large. Although we removed one starter from the order we still had too much food but it was very good. We would go again if we were in the area.
