Tasty, authentic food; friendly, helpful staff; delightful restaurant area and very reasonable prices. Deserves to be busier (but glad it's not).

Having visited the takeaway for gyros many times, which are amazing, we have tried the restaurant on a couple of occasions for a family meal. It was a shame to see it so quiet on a Saturday night, no complaints about the food. It is more of a Grill style menu with a range of meats done really well, freshly cooked and succulent. A range of Greek starters, dips etc were nice. Limited wine selection ( some Greek wine would be nice). The young waitress on her own did a great job for our party, although there were a couple of environmental issues with the building, it did not spoil our evening. Do give this local business a try and support them.

Where to start? The menus we were given were tatty and dirty. The drinks menu was a printed sheet which was filthy, old and scrunched up like a piece of old newspaper. There was no mention of wine, but lots of cocktails. - ‘Sorry, no white wine, only red or rose’ Then, ‘No spanakopita, no tyropita, no potatoes and NO Lamb’ - in a Greek restaurant!! The menu wasn’t at all what you would expect; there was no moussake, no kleftiko, no stifado, in fact nothing that actually involved cooking. If it couldn’t be grilled or fried, it wasn’t there. The hummus was the most tasteless any of us have ever tasted. The pitas were good, the pork, the chicken and the beef patties were ok. They did go out and source some cheap Pinot Grigio, for which they charged £18. They managed to serve two large beers, but then only small bottles were available. The lights in the toilet were broken and there were battery candles instead - really not acceptable or hygienic. The server was fantastic, a young woman doing her best in trying circumstances, repeating the lines she’d been told to say, but the best line was ‘I’m sorry but deliveries come on a Friday for the weekend.’ So we had booked for 6 people on a Thursday night but no one could be bothered to make sure they had anything in store. It was a special occasion, in memory of a loved one who loved Greek food! We had lots of laughs at how poor it was, but really simply not good enough. We won’t be back.

A rare dinner put just my wife and I, this place did not dissapoint. Taking time for ourselves in our very busy schedules is not something we often get to do. We chose to try this resteraunt after driving past a week or so ago. Took us back to the ambience of our first holiday together in Greece pre covid. The staff were polite, friendly, happy to accommodate dietary requirements and openly shared eith us the history of the resteruant. The food was delicious, portions are huge. We ordered starters, I had dolmades and my wife had a feta and spinach pastry dish, we then shared the hot meat platter from the grill priced at £40.00. Meat was tender and flavourful, salads were fresh and zesty. It was far too much food for us both but now knowing the portion size, will be mindful while ordering next time. There definitely will be a next time and we plan to bring family and friends.

Absolutely fantastic food! There was a bit of a wait between courses but the lovely serving staff explained it and gave us a discount for our wait. Also the food was totally worth the wait, my husband was transported back to Crete with the dolmades and the Greek salad was absolutely delightful! We will definitely be back!
