About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for groups
The first stage of evolution began with a complete renovation of the building. Of the major structural changes, the most significant included repositioning of the staircase leading to the basement. The result is a dining experience that can includes a unique ‘Mykonos’ style bar in the basement for cocktails, mezedakia and even live music events. The rest of the restaurant interior has been carefully designed to create a balanced ambience be-fitting of dishes that are served and for the diners who want to combine perfectly prepared Greek-Cypriot food with a touch of class.

With attention to every detail, the chef and kitchen team has managed to perfect the preparation of food; from supply chain to the way it sits, and the plate it sits on. The emphasis is on quality of produce at good prices; the result is a wonderfully simple and affordable fusion of old and new Greek-Cypriot mezedakia / tapas style dishes in the heart of the west end.

    Lovely friendly and welcoming staff, relaxed atmosphere and the usual great, authentic Greek food with plenty of favourites and lots of choice. Really good wine list - Greek sparkling wine a great addition to the options! We were made so welcome and had the best evening catching up on our own reminiscences of Greece - on a warm evening in Charlotte Street it was almost as if we were there again!

    Whilst the food was good, as a single diner the cost was ridiculously expensive. I am afraid that I won't be back.

    Great central location, cosy restaurant and friendly staff. Menu has a big selection of small plates. Prices are quite good for the area. Most of the food was tasty although one aubergine dish tasted old to me. My friend still ate it but could see what I meant that it didn’t taste great

    Very friendly and attentive service even when the restaurant was busy. So many lovely things on the menu it is easy to over order. I will definitely go back again.

    The food was fine. Interesting menu. Staff were friendly and helpful. However, while I am ok with their policy of bringing dishes out when they are ready rather than in course order, everything came out too, too fast. We didn’t have time to really enjoy or savour any of the dishes as all the plates came within 5 minutes of each other (also leading to a very crowded and uncomfortable table). Our meal was over in 45 minutes from the time we entered the restaurant. Not exactly an enjoyable evening meal. Please slow it down! You do your good food a real disservice!

    Excellent food and waiting staff gave great advice. A quiet night but pleasant ambiance. Tables well laid out so easy to chat without intrusion. Menu not huge however everything we had was really good, the only thing I wasn’t so keen on was the ‘ it comes when it’s ready’ concept as dishes were arriving constantly so less chance to fill a plate and eat dishes together. Overall a lovely evening.

    Great to see this place reopen but sadly the food is not as good as previously. I hope they can make a proper courgette fritta next time!
