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.

If you want authentic Greek food, then this place is an excellent choice. 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.

There is no car park or off street parking in the area so I would suggest using the Civic Centre car park or the Multi-Storey behind Marks and Spencers. The restaurant is of traditional style, decorated like a real Greek taverna. There are 2 parts, the small intimate front part and a larger heated conservatory area at the back. The food is excellent, I would recommend Kliftico (not sure how to spell this) and the prices are very reasonable. Cypiot beer is served. Drinks cost a standard price. I would recommend this place, it has a good atmosphere and is frequented by locals and Greek nationals.

Istanbul has been…read moredescribed as the capital of the world, a natural hub for many civilisations and our restaurant has quickly become a buzzing hub for the community to enjoy our wonderful dishes. Our chefs have previously worked in Michelin star restaurants and have bought with them the high standards and skills required to create the unforgettable dishes we serve in Little Instanbul. Here we offer fresh, hot or cold meze starters which boast traditional flavours from across the Eastern Mediterranean to enjoy alongside our freshly baked home-made bread. Our delicious Mangal kebabs are home cooked to order on our traditional charcoal grill. To accompany your meal we have selected some of the owners' favourite Turkish wines, but if that's not to your taste we also offer the world famous Efes larger. The open plan style of Little Istanbul lends itself to a relaxed and sociable atmosphere, a perfect setting for family and friends to enjoy a meal together.

What an amazing place, and an absolute must if you love the authentic taste of the Mediterranean…read more Everything is cooked over charcoal so you get a beautiful BBQ taste to many of the dishes which is really authentic of many Mediterranean dishes. The restaurant has been taken over in the last 2 years+ so if you visited the place previously and were dissapointed with the standard of the food then another visit is well recommended. The staff are amazingly friendly and very helpful, thoroughly explaining the dishes to the minutest detail with real passion and enthusiasm. Whether you are eating with friends, out with business or having a romantic evening with your significant other then this place is ideal and covers all basis. We started with the mixed mezze between two of us (which is plenty when having 2-3 courses). This can be served as a course for one person but we decided to share to get the taste of as much of the cuisine as possible. The great thing about having this as a starter is that there is two of everything so it is also great for sharing if you do not have a huge appetite. 2nd course consisted of the Signature dish of the Mixed grill (charcoal grilled minced lamb, marinated tender chicken and lamb cubes, garnished with salad, served with Cedar rice or French fries), which was sumptuous succulant and tasted amazing. my wife had the Sea Bass and stated that it was the best fish she had ever tasted. The meal was finished off with a nice sweet and all was washed down with a lovely bottle of house red. At the weekend (and sometimes during the week) they have an organist in the restaurant playing authentic lebanese (with the occassional western) music. A little bit Peter Kay(ish) but certainly added to the great atmosphere.

We were initially a little panicked as we walked further down the road than we remembered but thankfully it is still there! The waitress was great, super polite and it was a pleasure to hear her interact with the other tables. We both opted for the grills this time around rather than the Mezze dishes we'd had on previous visits. I had the chicken kebab, while my wife had the halloumi wrap. The chicken was so delicious, in fact I'd be quite happy to eat it again right now as I type this up. It came with a choice of fries or rice, I opted for the rice which was also good, and it came with the side of one of the best garlic sauces I've ever had as well as some salad. The halloumi was also great; we'd been to Nandos recently and thought that the stuff there was bland and rubbish. Thankfully this was like my memory of great halloumi; fresh tasting, a great texture and grilled to perfection. Wonderful experience and I can't wait to return.
