I had booked a table, but unfortunately last minute had to cancel due to a bereavement in my family. The man at the end of the phone, was a true gent, and instead they delivered a banquet of delicious food to our home. The food was absolutely delicious and the meat so tender and flavoursome, we can’t thank you enough!!! Many thanks from us all 🙏🏻⭐️👌🏻

came to celebrate my boyfriends birthday meal here recently and would rate our overall experience a 3. food was very plain and both mains felt as though they were missing something? it’s as though the meat had been just grilled with no seasoning or any kind of marinate which the menu had promised. salads looked as though they had been out of a pre mix salad bag and not the traditional greek salad we had been expecting from a “greek” restaurant. halloumi was yummy but not for nearly £8. also worth mentioning their soft drinks are not branded coke or diet coke and felt a bit ripped off paying £3.50 for some own brand flat syrupy sugary cola. we waited 20mins for our plates to be cleared and a further 20mins to pay the bill. we were going to stay for dessert but decided to go elsewhere.

Excellent service, the chicken is a bit bland but with the white sauce, it's delightful. I love the bread with hummus and their prawns were amazing. The staff were very friendly too and the whole feel of the restaurant is nice.
