We thoroughly enjoyed our evening at Greco, a new Greek restaurant on Brighton seafront. Although…read morewe only booked at the last minute the manager managed to find us a table on a fully-booked Saturday night, and while the place was busy it still had a pleasant atmosphere. All the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. We were seated quickly and within 5-10 minutes of ordering we were enjoying our delicious selection of vegetarian meze dishes. The menu is varied and reasonably priced and the dishes themselves were all very substantial - 6 meze dishes was more than enough for two people! Our particular highlights were the cheese dishes - one baked feta with tomatoes and chilli, the other fried cheese with sesame and honey (very different and an amazing treat). All in all we would highly recommend this great Greek restaurant to anyone eating out in Brighton. A brilliant addition to the Brighton food scene.

I came here after seeing an offer in the The Argus to dine for £10. I'm so pleased I did because we…read morehad such a lovely time here. Estia is everything a great Greek (Cypriot) restaurant should be - located in a light and airy building, run by a cheerful family, authentic Greek dishes with a modern twist, the best ingredients and organic, free-range meats. It can be a family affair during the day but transforms itself to a romantic location in the evening. There's a wide selection of meze, salads and vegetarian dishes.The mezes start at just £12.95 per person. We ordered the Meat meze which includes olives, dips, warm pitta bread, grilled halloumi cheese, kefdedakia, dolmades, Cyprus village salad, fried potatoes & choice of moussaka, stiado, pork souviake or sheftalia. It was so good that I'm salivating just thinking about it. I have it on good authority that the swordfish skewers and Karpasia Moussaka are key mains here so I'm already planning my second visit.

I recently went on a date here...since we both love Greek food, it seemed like a good idea. Turned…read moreout we were right! The food was delicious- we ordered the seafood mezze sharer, which involved dips and pitta with olives, followed by mussels, calamari, giant king prawns and sword fish (especially good!) and Mediterranean veg. We substituted fried haloumi for dolmades and they were literally the best I've ever eaten! The menu is extensive, but the mezze sharers (meat, veggie or seafood) are definitely the easiest and most economical way (£12.95-£14.95 pp) to sample the menu, if there are a few of you. The service is friendly- but be warned, the wait for food can be a bit long if the restaurant is busy- the place is family run, which is lovely, but they could do with a few extra members of staff! The only disappointment was the decor. The space is not overly inviting or cosy. Neither is it traditional in any way. There is a distinctly clinical feeling about the place, probably because it is quite colourless- we were hoping for a more traditional, vibrant atmosphere. However, there is no denying that the food is fantastic- I will definitely go again...

More importantly though, the food was divine. As we're both foodies, we've been to a lot of Greek restaurants, some good and some bad, but this was the best. I had the souvlaki and my partner had the mussels. The flavours were rich and authentic and the presentation was immaculate. I'm definitely coming back! Oh, and it was very reasonably priced as well. Would definitely recommend this place!

It is delightful!…read more It is not the most atmospheric restaurants however if you have been to Cyprus or Greece then it really does have a taverna feel to it but could do with a little updating! The food and service is great, you are always warmly welcomed and given a very fast and professional service! I usually go for the fish of the day for the main and it is lovely! As for starters i have tried almost everything on the menu and have no complaints whatsoever.. My only complaint about this restaurant is the lack of diversity in the main course section. I would love to see kleftico on the menu as this is my favorite cypriot/greek dish and now increasingly hard to find in Brighton with the closing of Estia!

A short walk from the Hilton Metropole, we drunkenly staggered over here for dinner. Now, at first…read morewe were simply 6 writers/fans/readers/others heading into a restaurant, but then oddly we discovered that our other, more Canadian friends arrived, and all hell broke loose! The mad irishman started moving tables, booze was produced from under jackets, loud chattering, and even political talk, happened all over the table. And they took it in stride. The service was a bit slow, and the lamb was awfully tasty, though a bit bony considering. The Moussaka was especially delicious! The setting was nice, and though a little loud, the entire meal was a great time and the food filling and not too pricey for what you get.

The saltiness of the cheese reminded me of halloumi but the texture was chewier. Very tasty! I had the vegetarian moussaka which was massive and delicious. Loads of potatoes, aubergine, courgette and tomatoes topped with a melted cheesy top. Much better than versions I had had elsewhere and so big that I finished inky half (and took the rest to go!) My partner had the soutzoukakia which were long meatballs in tomato sauce. Also delicious! It came with a side of rice. Both dishes also came with a side of salad and chips. I liked that they served these family style. Service was a bit slow towards the end of our meal but I would definitely come back. The food was great value and delicious!

This Greek Cypriot restaurant brings back many of the memories of the brilliant food I had in Zakynthos. Here you will find lots and lots of meat dishes like kebabs and steak. However, you will also find the classic dishes like Moussaka or Stifado. I personally went to for a lamb kebab dish, served with couscous and salad. It was the type of pure unadultered joy that you rarely experience. If you haven't tried Greek food, Vineyard perhaps should be your first port of call. Price is pretty much par for the course, with most mains costing around the £10 mark.

While some people think this place is a bit hit and miss I've never experience any inconsistencies. The food is always perfectly cooked and seasoned, however, I can see why you'd only see this place as a reserve choice, as there are many places where £12 will get you something a little more special. The relaxed atmosphere is something that'll interest some people but leave others feeling like they aren't getting their money's worth. Whatever you think I doubt you'll be disappointed.

since I first started following on Instagram. Extremely dissapointed. We had to sit outside as…read morewedding on (completely fair enough). However staff were rude and short. Where we was sitting my son was getting burnt and the sun was right in our eyes. Could see we were uncomfortable but didnt seem to care, instead asked the table next to us if they would like their food inside, I then said "we would" however we got the food delivered to us outside. My son mentioned water dripping but again didnt care and walked off. Water served was warm. Asked for a coke and the woman said "diet"? I said no, she said "well thats all we have got" she said that they have sold out of a lot of stuff. When I asked what else wasmt available, she didn't answer but proceeded to say "Its bank holiday, so its expected". No friendly or welcoming at all. I had a starter and an orange juice then we went inside to get the bill and went to a different restaurant to finish our meal. Starter was octopus and didnt look like the instagram pic and wasnt great. My son had the greek sausgae and he said it was nice but just wanted to go because of the sun. Overall not good service, kids meal doesnt include dessert or drink so overpriced. Food nothing special. Table next to us was saying how long the service takes and considering going elsewhere. Didnt offer sauce to go with meal. Wanted to love this restaurant but complete opposite! Will not be returning.
