You know there's Greek food and then there's Cypriot Greek food, and let me tell you, the latter is…read morethe absolute one. This spot is authentic. And the best part? It's just a stroll away from my place (not that it matters to you). The starters are great - you've got the choice of cold or warm mezes, calamari, dolmas, all the usual suspects for a Greek place. When it comes to the mains, I highly recommend the sheftalias and pork kebab (sorry Kosher and Halal gang), or go for the mixed grill if you can't decide. They even do really nice fish dishes as well, seabass and salmon are worth a mention. And don't forget to grab some chips - they use the proper Cypriot potatoes. Weekdays are usually quiet, but on weekends it can get busy so it's worth booking ahead. The service is alright, nothing special - but hey, it's Greek, what do you expect? As for parking, it's not amazing - there's a tiny lot across the street and you can park at Cockfosters station.

The Meze is good, where…read moreyou get a selection of small plates to share, and includes everything from olives and hummus to kebabs and sheftalia. Their fish courses are very good too, and I can particularly recommend the charcoal grilled octopus - delicious with a feta salad and lots of lemon juice. Portions are big and you won't leave hungry. If you are going with a big group it's best to call ahead and make reservations especially on the weekend. The downside to this place is that it is small and when it is busy, it can feel a bit claustrophobic, and it's loud so it's difficult to have a good conversation. The decor is not my taste, I think it would benefit from looking a little more Mediterranean, but otherwise can't complain.

If you are looking for an evening of great Greek food, dancing, drink, and live music, look no further, this is your place. The food here is so good, you MUST come hungry, even better starving because they serve you about 5 courses here. Be sure to pace yourself! It's easy to fill yourself up on the tasty starters of gorgeous humous, aubergine, and various tasty seafood. Don't arrive early here. If you come before 10pm the place will seem dead. The live music on weekends doesn't start until about 11 and that's when the real party starts. Be sure to wear your dancing shoes as there is a good sized dance floor! Apollo is a diamond in the rough of Seven Sisters! Be sure to make a night of it!

It was one of the best meals I've ever had, so it goes without saying that it was also the BEST Turkish cuisine I've ever tasted. The service was impeccable and the male host that evening gave us more bread (for FREE) when he saw we had a lot of dips left and no more mile high flat bread. I loved every minute I was there stuffing my face and enjoying the colorful, eccentrically light ambiance. A MUST try even if you need to take the tube for a couple of stops and change lines!!

I liked the first time we went here. Was slightly less impressed the second time…read more Today, my wife said her sea bass tasted as if it had come into contact with lamb. My spicy lamb pot was very tasty, but not much lamb, which was a little tough, for the £21.95 price. The reason I won't go back instead of not doing so in a hurry is that they charged my wife £1.95 for a cup of hot water. In fairness, the menu shows "hot water lemon" at £2.45, but I'd never expect to see hot water on the drinks menu. When I questioned it, they said "we have to use our kettle and wash the cup." So, they got £1.95 for water and lost customers (we go there with others, so it's not just our custom that they've lost). It's a pettiness that I would strongly advise all restaurants against adopting.

A friend of mine had raved about Ottolenghi when she heard I was coming to London, so this…read morerestaurant was at the top of my must-try list. Maybe my friend over-sold it and got my expectations up too high, because I was pretty disappointed in this dinner. We were asked if we wanted still or sparkling water. We said still and were brought out a £4.50 bottle. I know it's common to charge for water in Europe, so I didn't think much about it until I noticed that everyone else around us had refillable glass bottles -- free tap water that we were never even told was an option. We were seated downstairs at a large communal table. I don't necessarily mind that, but it was so loud that having a conversation was very difficult. My cocktail was delicious, but so tiny. The wine list was decent -- a good mix of options at various price points. As for the food, it was very hit or miss. The mushroom starter and the pork main dish were delicious. Unfortunately, the two most expensive dishes were disappointing. The prawns had great flavor, but a strangely soft, mushy texture. For me, the flavor made the weird texture okay, but my husband couldn't get over the mushiness of the shrimp and hated this dish. The sea bream was very bland and dry -- highly disappointing for the most expensive item on the menu. We ended on a high note with the affogato dessert (Yum!), but for such an expensive meal, there were just a few too many misses for us.
