    Went here for dinner right after checking into our hotel next door after we trekked from Athens…read moreInternational to Luten Airport on 10/24/2018. The owner is really, really into his restaurant and excitedly told us all about all the different specials and options. My sister and I got the set menu, the Artemis (meat) menu which was fairly steep at £27.50 per person. Food was good and came in courses. 1. Sauce sampler of hummus, taramosalata, tzatziki and baba ganoush with bread. 2. Meat sampler of a single keftede, spanakopita and loukaniko per person. 3. Horatiki salad. 4. Entree served family style of grilled pork and chicken. 5. Dessert of yogurt with honey, a single baklava, karydopita and kataifi per person. Courses came out fairly slow and they unfortunately forgot about us for our last course. The owner gives great service, but he can't be expected to be on top of every table as it got very busy. The female server with reddish hair (spoke Greek) seemed out of it and not a good help to him. We ended up spending more than 2 hours at the restaurant, and it came down to the owner not having good support from the one waitress around, but the food was very good. Would have preferred it to be a little less expensive, but I'd go back.

    The man who took my order (perhaps the owner?) was so over the top that he sold me on me meal…read morebefore I had it. Never had a more effusive / friendly man selling me on my food. Unfortunately the hype didn't live up to the results. The octopus (You'll love it! It's amazing!) was too crispy / oily for me and felt overcooked. The eggplant dip was too acidic for me to have more than a few bites. The cod roe dip was bright pink to my surprise and it was yummy but thick, kind of like an aioli and I couldn't eat much.

    Upon arrival, it was clear this is a family run, deeply loved authentic Greek restaurant. We were…read moregreeted like old friends even though it was clear we were famished tourists. I loved the feel of the place. Small but generous in personal space. Extra effort was made to make sure our party of 6 were comfortable. And the food was delicious. The welcome pre dinner treats such as olives, radishes, and peppers were delightful. Then came the hummus--best I have ever had. The king prawns were simply cooked and wonderful. Everything was so fresh! The calamari, the Greek salad. All excellent. The entrees our party enjoyed included lamb, chicken, spanakopita, falafel, and so much more. If I lived in the area, I would frequent the place. I even commented to my wife that I could see myself landing at LHR and making my way straight to Aphrodite!

    Being vegan, I thought I'd have a tough time getting something here. What with most yelpers waxing…read moreeloquent about their lamb and fish. But our host was the most pleasant man and fished out items from the kitchen that weren't only vegan but also delicious! To begin with, even without ordering anything, pitas, flava bean salad, and olives, which, by themselves, more than hold their own. The falafels are one of the best I've tasted in London. And the hummus was unbelievable. For mains, the dolmades were excellent. Even the roasted potatoes that our host offered, and which weren't on the menu, were amazing. Overall, the chefs and hosts at the Aprodite Taverna take real joy in feeding people. And I'd definitely go here again: for the food as well as the service.

    Came here on a recommendation of a friend who lives in London and we were not at all disappointed…read more We started with some great cocktails and I really enjoyed the Aegean Negroni I opted for; the addition of black pepper simple syrup really added to the complexity of the drink. Every single dish we had was superb, from the jars of tzatziki and tiropita to the crispy calamari and seabass tartare to start. The fresh bread, which was lightly charred, really paired well with the tzatziki and tiropita which were lightly whipped and so flavorful. The seabass came with a cucumber and jalapeno broth which had just the right amount of spice to elevate the fish. For main we split the lamb and grilled octopus which were both perfectly prepared. The lamb, which appeared to be sous vide, was cooked to an exquisite medium rare and the octopus had a great char both was still tender. The service and setting were both great and we highly recommend this establishment.

    This has been a special place for years. I took my daughter there just by chance in 2018 and it…read morewas fantastic. I was introduced to mastiha liquor given gratis upon sitting down, the loukamades in a box with the once chocolate one was a great touch. I live outside of the UK but when each of my children reached a certain age, I would take them on a trip to London and Mazi was always on the itinerary. Unfortunately the experience has dwindled each time. I took my youngest to Mazi this summer and they could not have cared less. Additionally the crowds and vibrancy I remember are much less. But the service was the most disappointing. I tried to explain how we had been looking forward to this and our family tradition (I even bought the cookbook), but to no avail. Maybe I was too excited and it was just a normal night for them. The great ideas of the menu seem to be just on autopilot now. Perhaps the novelty of it all has worn off on me too, but the loukamades presentation is different now. Boxes are gone. And perhaps I should not have ordered the radishes, but it came out without any dipping sauce or anything. Just raw radishes. Maybe it's still a great place, and maybe it was just an off night, but I will no longer be taking that risk. .
