    We were four diners. The quality, taste and serving portions of the food were outstandingly good. The service was friendly and excellent. If you want the best "homemade" Greek cuisine in London, this is where you need to eat.

    This is the best, most authentic Greek restaurant in London. It is family-owned and operated. The welcome is warm and genuine, the portions are large and the prices very reasonable. I don't want to give it too high a recommendation because I need to know that I can always get a table there!!!
