There's banquets to share and a good range of dishes, all of which look good enough on the menu to take a hopeful punt on. In fairness, they ARE all worth taking a punt on! The bar is as well stocked as any restaurant bar and the wine list is... well... I'm not a wine expert so I wouldn't know. From the look of it, it seems good enough unless you're Oz Clark. The staff are all pleasant and clued up and, on certain nights, they have traditional Greek music and, well, let me just say that, if you're after a quiet romantic night in, avoid this one (ring ahead to find out when it is as I can't remember) as it can get a bit loud. Fun as hell though. A good little restaurant this!

Despite passing this place on my school bus for 5 years however I'd never spotted it before. I now realise this has been a huge oversight on my part! I went with a group of 10 people for a bday celebration of an ex housemate. The staff coped really well with a big group and we were taken very good care of. They don't put a tip on as standard even for a large group - I prefer this practice, other restaurants please take note! The interior is nice, basic rather than luxurious but this adds to the atmosphere. They have a good drinks menu, I shared a carafe of red wine with someone and it was decent for the price. The menu has lots of choices, too many - I wanted everything! I had the deep fried halloumi in batter. It was delicious, perfectly done but I'd have preferred a better salad garnish, it just had 3 wedges of raw tomato with balsamic glaze. Friends shared the mezze platter and this looked great. Everyone said the starters were fantastic. I then had a steak casserole dish with star annise and cinnamon. The mains come with a choice of rice, chips, salad or roast potatoes. I went for chips and they were perfectly cooked, the rice looked good on other plates too. The meat was tender and the onions in my dish were lovely and sweet. I really enjoyed it. They brought out a piece of chocolate fudge cake with candles and sang for my friends bday, a nice touch. We all tried a bite of cake and the fudge icing was delicious. I had a medium sweet coffee which was the only down side of this meal for me. The Greek delight it came with (a piece of pink sweet very like Turkish delight) was amazing but the coffee itself was very bitter and full of grainy residue. Overall I loved it, really want to go back and try someone dishes. Needs to go on the list for yelp events I think!

Well, what can I say..... Wow!!…read more As a previous yelper has said this isn't the place for squirt romantic date....! This is a full on Greek experience, dancing on the tables, everyone up on their feet, shots of ouzo and getting involved type night! I came here with a drink who had a Groupon voucher for a 20 dish meat meze. DO NOT EAT BEFORE YOU COME HERE!!!I have never seen so much food in my life its great! There is no set menu here you either order the meat or veggie platter and the courses just keep rolling!! Starters: hummus, tsasiki, hot pitta, beetroot salad, potato salad Hot starters: feta parcels, stuffed tomatoes, etc there are so many dishes! Mains:sifado, moussaka, garlic mushroom, rice, chicken stew, chicken dishes All great big portions to share with extra sides! Drinks were very reasonable- they also have mythos beer which is such a tasty option! In terms of after you eat they get everyone up dancing round the restaurant so you will either love it or hate it! Be prepared for a crazy night of being told how to dance by the crazy host, lots of good food and cold beer!!

I originally came here a few years back when I spotted a Groupon deal. At the time it was with my…read moreboyfriend so we were expecting a nice chilled romantic Greek meal . However this place is really NOT for that. This is the sort place where groups of people come to join in with crazy dancing and interact with the staff.. SO with that now in my mind we arranged a hen party to take place here. Having booked beforehand with £5 deposit each we were led by a waiter to our table. All of these were crammed closely together. I could not take note of any decor as it was dark , lighten with dim disco lights. Having ordered a bottle of rose the first set of food arrived. Lentils, olives , beetroot yoghurt dip, hummus, and tomato butterbeans. A large quantity of pitta bread was provided to shovel this in our mouths.. Next course cheese ricotta samosas, stuffed vine leaves, calamari, and chicken kebabs...Another course followed of stewed beef? moussaka, roast chicken and various rice...then finally a filo pastry dessert which toffee and icecream. The food overrall was of standard quality but the quantity you got was good. Food snaffled, the party began, everyone in the restaurant (apart from a couple trying to be romantic) got up and did a bongo train...After things got chaotic I grabbed a Mythos beer from the bar and watched the mad dancing continue. My friend was the third bride to be that night and so she was made to dance on a table solo, and with a member of staff ..followed by a shot of ouzo.. Other strange activities later ensued, including men pouring cups of water down each others throats, and swinging heavy tables with their mouths.. Everyone overrall enjoyed the crazy dynamic experience , if you are into this kind of party atmosphere then this is for you. I personally like nice restaurants/pubs with good food and a nice chilled out atmosphere where I can converse with ease...

I had high expectations but the visit was very disappointing sadly. It was a Saturday at 7pm and…read morethe noise was overwhelming to the point that Mrs G and I could barely communicate across our tiny table for 2. The biggest disappointment was the food ( which is what we actually went for). We chose a number of Mezzes - essentially Tapas. Without exception they were disappointing - Mrs G's lamb chops were essentially burnt, and the whitebait was overwhelmingly "fishy" making me reticent to eat more than one tiny bite. (Nasty). The patatas bravas aoli came late (as did my lamb souvlaki) was so-so at best. The courgette fritters were actually chopped (I was expecting sliced) and barely warm. My margarita was tasty but tiny. The whole event was over in 50 minutes and we were pleased to call an Uber and leave.

From the beginning of our experience in Rozafa to the end, we were very, very disappointed with the service. The service was poor. They barely came to our table. When I asked our server to explain the dish, he acted like he didn't understand me and put it down for my order. We ordered a first course of pita bread and hummus for 3, and we were given 2 slices of pita bread while other tables were given 6 (for two people, btw). Once our dinner came, we didn't see the server for another hour. Yes, we were at this restaurant for almost an hour and a half and most of it entailed waiting to be acknowledged. We didn't see this with the other tables, and it has lead us to believe that they targeted us as Americans. We did not show them disrespect. We asked questions, and we tried to be unassuming. Needless to say, but it is not high on my recommendations. Ohh...and the food was okay.

Mykonos is a greek restaurant near the train station…read more The owner of Mykonos, Dimitri, is the friendliest, happiest restaurant owner I have ever known. He gets really involved with the people who eat there. Whenever I have been there, he has made me get up and dance with him on a table at the front.

A friend recommended this restaurant to us, so we decided to book a table and give it a try…read more Knowing that the venue has served as various types of restaurant in the past, first impressions were that it has been given quite a good makeover, right down to the colour theme of the island of Santorini. The welcome from the staff was friendly and we were shown to our table straight away and left with the wine list. Whilst not extensive, there are a number of Greek wines to choose from so we tried the Makedonikos, a medium dry white wine that went quite well with our food. Of course, being a Greek restaurant we had to start with a mezze, and there's certainly plenty to choose from here. We tried a small variety of dishes including the calimari, tzatziki and hummus, all of which were delicious. Next, the selection of main courses provides plenty of choice and we both decided to try the Stifado, a favourite of mine since I first tried it in Cyprus a few years ago. The beef is so well cooked here until it is really tender and just falls apart on your fork and the sauce is full of flavour. Highly recommended :) My only comment on the restaurant itself is that, although they've tried to capture the essence of Greece, it's not *quite* there yet. The lighting seemed just a bit too bright and behind the decor, the resturant seems just a bit too modern for a traditional Greek taverna. Hopefully this will change over time as the restaurant develops a bit more character - it is still quite new after all. Otherwise, the food is excellent and the staff are friendly and attentive. We'll definitely be going back. :)
