Food was amazing, and really wanted to give this place a better rating. Naan was superb, dips we're…read moretasty, lamb chops were cooked perfectly as well. Three issues though: - the octopus was overcooked and quite chewy. Flavor was great though - my wife found a hair in the dessert. Really big flag - dinner for two was 160+ pounds.

They have a lunch/afternoon special that includes a variety of meal options for...I think it was $12.50. So we got a couple of those, choosing the chicken skewers and the lamb meatballs. They come with pita bread, tzatziki, a lovely Greek salad, and rice or chips. Really refreshing and flavorful; filling but not heavy. It also seemed like a lot of vegetarian choices were available. We also got the humus and some Greek peach iced tea, and that was enough for all 3 of us to feel completely satisfied and at a very reasonable price. Comfortable seating and nice decor. We don't live on this continent but I am sure that I will hear my husband say, many times, in the future "remember that little Greek place we went to in London?" Yes; I will.

We were looking to grab a quick meal before our show started and popped into this restaurant…read more Overall we were quite pleased. We started with cocktails. My Old Fashioned tasted great with the Greek honey. The lemon gin drink was OK. Our large Greek salad was excellent. Too often they are made with too much lettuce. Here, there was no lettuce, just lots of veggies, feta cheese, olives, etc. nicely done! Our lamb and halloumi skewers were tasty though could've been a bit larger serving wise. Finally, our flat bread (pita) and hummus were good though perhaps slightly overpriced. Service was very good, the restaurant was clean and fairly comfortable. Two thumbs up!

The Food: We did the Valentine's set menu, and a fair warning: it creeps up on you! Every course is delicious, but by the time dessert arrived, we were absolutely stuffed. Even if you aren't typically a seafood fan, give it a chance here. The dishes are incredibly approachable, well-balanced, and clearly had a lot of thought put into the flavors. The Vibe & Dress Code: The atmosphere is unmatched, but learn from our mistake! We spent the day exploring Covent Garden and didn't have time to head back and change. You definitely want to dress smart-professional to match the elegance of the restaurant. We felt a little underdressed for the level of experience they provide! Summary: Romantic, delicious, and worth every penny. Just dress up and come hungry!

I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough! I love hummus and have ordered it in many, many…read morelocations, including the Middle East. And this hummus is now my absolute favorite! It was so creamy, and the peanut curry was the perfect flavouring. I'm going to have to visit London more often just to eat this hummus again. The free range chicken shish kebab was also delicious! It had a perfect mixture of pickled veggies and meat. They also include some crispy chicken skin, which heightened the dish all the more. I dined alone, and the staff were extremely kind and attentive but not overbearing. Farris and Azul were both wonderful, and Farris made excellent recommendations and made sure I was well taken care of. The location is perfect if you're in the West End going to a show, and the atmosphere is hip and modern. All around a great place!

I got the dirty bab which has fries, peppers, a great sauce, and a ton of flavor in addition to an ample amount of meat. It was quite filling (though I still found space to enjoy some hummus too). The meat was well cooked, super flavorful, and it combined really well with everything else in the wrap. Messy and very filling but super delicious.

A warm and charming Greek restaurant with fairy lights that give it a nice touch, especially during winter time.

Feels and tastes authentic (to my standards), the moussaka is meaty and packed with veggies, whilst ouzo is a nice digestif (if you like anise). If you don't remember anything else about this review please remember this; try the appetizer made with cod roe, olive oil and garlic. Sublime. Service could improve a little as it is sometimes very welcoming, and sometimes a bit cold. It needs to become consistent, and when this happens they might achieve a wining combination.

Spent a week in London renewing my visa and sampled some of the local fare. My wife and I miss food…read moreLebanese food from Sydney and we had a sneaking suspicion that London would have something good. Weren't let down. This place was as good as I have ever had. Couldn't recommend it more. Chicken Mezze plate was very good, tender and juicy but not under cooked, good variance in type of chicken as well. Falafel could have been the best I have ever had. Can always tell the quality of it by the dryness and chick pea to herb ratio. Fantastic. Garlic potatoes - very good with peppers. Cold Mezze- excellent but would have wanted more tabouleh if possible but you can't have everything. Hummus Babaganoush and Labneh all top draw. With a good glass of red the whole thing came to less than 80 pounds. Unreal. Service was ace not a thing to complain about. What a place. Price 5/5 Service 5/5 (if you are looking for a reservation and online says it's booked, just call and they will sort you out) Food 5/5 Ambiance 5/5 Can't miss with this one.

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.

Their breakfasts were atrociously priced at something like £30 a day, so I didn't partake as I honestly can't imagine a breakfast being worth that price tag. But I came down on my last night for a glass of wine and a small bite (sans reservation but was seated right away in their bar). Small bites is the name of the game for suppertime as their menu is designed to share. It's also rather meat-forward, but they do have a vegan menu as well with some specialty items. I had the Margherita pizza which was very small but also the perfect size for me that evening as I wasn't very hungry. The wine list is impressive. Service was fine for my leisurely supper. The bar and restaurant were lively right up until closing. Absolutely fit my needs for the night.
