A brilliant restaurant with fantastic service and delicious food. I've ordered a couple of times from the restaurant online, and recently ate in. The food was delicious, hot, fresh and tasty. The vegan gyros was excellent.The service was brilliant, very helpful and friendly. They were great at checking vegan options for us. Overall I really recommend this restaurant.

Extremely delicious food. We ordered greek salad and ceaser salad. Greek Salad tasted same as I ate in Greece. Very refreshing. Could taste all the flavours of greek salad. Their Gluten Free Carrot cake (with raisins and hint of cinnamon) and Oat Milk (Dairy-Free) Cappuccino are incredibly nice too.So nice to find this place after trying so many Greek Restaurants in London. Service is really nice. Very humble and nice to their customers, greeting with smiles. Julia is the best. Thank you Julia for serving us today :)

Cozy family-run restaurant. Hands down the best gyros I’ve ever had! The leak sausages on the Mediterranean breakfast platter were absolutely delicious. The service was warm & welcoming.

Just had a birthday lunch with my Greek husband here and it was FANTASTIC. Like being back in Greece. The food is authentic and delicious, very reasonably priced and great quality, the service brilliant (Lovely Josie (?) is so friendly and warm). We'll be back for dinners and take out often! Love to support an independent place too! GO GO! OPA! x

Wow tasty just had the greek wrap! Really great quality and taste, the pitta was so tasty! Unusual to have lettuce but it was great! Maybe the chips could improve but they were still great
