Better to have a large selection of the excellent meze, as the main courses are rather substantial. The selection of Greek wines was also surprising good.

Amazing experience which starts from when you ring to book, continues when you arrive and blossoms with the ambiance so that when you leave you have the impression you have left a relative. Tasty food especially the Greek salad and the tzatziki, not to mention that the Moussaka is the best I have tested in a long time! But the... More

From the booking on the phone, to the welcome to the service to the food it was all excellent. The experience was one that we would like to share and encourage others to enjoy. The food was delicious. The service was first class, the ambience was fantastic. If I had one piece of feedback it would be that you served... More

We went here for a family lunch to celebrate my brother's birthday. The place is simply but beautifully decorated and the staff are really friendly, personable and attentive. Half of us ordered from the vegetarian mezze menu and shared the dishes, whilst half had main courses and sides, and the food arrived at intervals meaning everything was freshly cooked and... More

Without doubt the best Greek food I've ever eaten, and the best restaurant in the area for sure. The portions are big, the food is home cooked and completely delicious, and it's great value for money, £35 for two of us and we were full. Can't wait to go back and try more dishes!!

Went last night, arrived without booking, made very welcome even though quite busy. Excellent service, water delivered immediately without asking. Order taken promptly, and arrived quite quickly, shared number of dishes, plenty for two and all tasted good. Moussaka was particularly good not at all greasy as you sometimes find elsewhere. Restaurant was full by the time we left, a... More

A traditional greek teverna with delicious meals. We have been there many times and we' ll keep on going again and again. Every time staff and boss welcomed us with a big smile. We know everyone there by their first name, the boss is Mr Thodoris. A realy nice and sociable man. Taste the white wine-karafa, its great. Don't forget... More

We are from Cyprus and the food here is just like it is in it's own country, fresh and home cooked. Great service and great food.

Having spent many happy holidays in Greece it was a joy to find such an authentic taverna in our own home town. Warmly welcomed by the owner, Theo, we settled at our table and soaked up the atmosphere. This time around we had a meal made up of starters to try the food out and were delighted by the generous...
