Very good food, generous portions. Very friendly service.4/12/2013 12:00:00 AMThe restaurant doesn't lookThe restaurant doesn't look much from the outside, but it's really nicely decorated inside and the tables aren't too close together. Greek music playing, so if you didn't look outside, you'd think you were in Greece.
Staff were very friendly and attentive. We enjoyed breads & dips to share and then opted for a chicken souvlaki and a lamb souvlaki. Both were cooked really well and were served with tsatsiki (excellent!), potatoes or rice and onions. The portions were fairly large.
The Mythos beers went down a treat too!
Only downside was we visited on a Monday night (my birthday) and there were only around 6 other tables in the entire time of our visit. Therefore, it lacked a little atmosphere. Weekends maybe more bustling.4/8/2013 12:00:00 AMI was really pleased withI was really pleased with the restuarant. The gyro and potatoes was fantastic.
