Very poor, in every category really food took nearly an hr to arrive, the service was poor and waiting staff somewhat rude, overpriced for what you get the food itself was dry cold and tasteless, tables too close together and very noisy, once we paid the bill the waiter turned away and didn’t say goodbye or thank us..We felt incredibly under appreciated and for that reason I give 1 star.. it doesn’t deserve any stars to be honest because I can’t find anything nice to say about it at all! Waste of our time.. simply awful 👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽

Horrible experience & expensive. £15 for 2 skewers dry chicken & rice. £3.75 can of coke! Cold dry pitta, almost £100 for 4 people, 2 ate chicken, 1 hallumi & 1 ate pitta & tzaki , no desserts, no alcohol ordered!!!More shocking is the Rude & moody, old waiter who gives short sarcastic responses to questions. 45 minutes wait for food. Avoid !!!There are many better options like Going Greek, Babidondas, Deisire in cockfosters.

This is by far the best Greek restaurant around. I travel 10 miles to eat here. All the staff are great, but my last visit was ruined by the chief waiter. His mannerism is somewhat arrogant and almost condescending and on this occasion he showed his true colours. The moussaka dish caused the controversy. My GF asked me whether I thought that her dish was hot, and before I got a chance to test it, this waiter swooped over, asked what the problem was, and before being able to discuss, snatched the plate abruptly and said it wasn’t a problem we will sort it. A fresh replacement arrived soon that was piping hot, and after barely a mouthful eaten he asked how it was. He went on to say that the original serving was tested, and it was fine. Then went on to say that the customer is always right. My GF was upset by the sarcasm, and saying we were wrong, and now refuses to return, which saddens me as the food is so good.

Food was mediocre, one meal wasn’t as hot as it should be, kebab wasn’t served with any salad (never had that before in any Greek/Turkish restaurant). Also felt it was overpriced, Ive added up what we had numerous times to the menu prices and bill was more. Tried the place won’t be going back.

Meal was like pre-cooked and mrcrowaved Cafe food. Service was ok but not to a professional standard. Food was extremely overpriced compared to other better restaurants.

Great souvlakia, we always get take away.meats well cooked and salads always fresh. Cyprus potato fries are super tasty as well.

·

Excellent service considering the high volume of demands given from our large family gathering to celebrate a special occasion. Thank you to all the staff for making it even more special. Delicious Greek Cypriot dishes 😋 Highly recommended!

The service here is shoddy at best! Our waitress and waiter had no intention of good service from the start and not a single smile. Terrible experience there. Also how long we had to wait for the food was completely unacceptable! We arrived at half 7 and left there at 5 past 10... There was only 4 of us and we all had chicken kebab so I don't see how that can take so long to cook, especially as it wasnt very well cooked either!And then the seating arrangements... Just don't bother they've crammed all the tables and seats together and the noise volume is horrendous as are the prices for what you get. Strongly recommend to not go here at all.

Fantastic atmosphere with authentic Greek dishes paired with authentic Greek music. Great for group dinners and parties! Food was very good - we ordered the meze and were surrounded with plates. Starters, halloumi, sausage onto fish, meat and fished off with some fruit.Staff friendly and very responsive . Try it you wont regret this one.

Went there for early dinner, we order the mezze for 2, all the food I believe were homemade, it's so fresh and bags of flavour. There are great portion and I really enjoyed it.
