Although I love this place and have come here a few times, I was still surprised to see it listed as Number 1 greek restaurant in London - but then I checked and Vrisaki (the overlord of greek restaurants!!) is listed as a mediterranean restaurant. Yes it’s good. Obligatory family friendly atmosphere? Check. Old men waiting the tables and chatting with customers while the younger generations slave away in the kitchen under the watchful eye of their uncles? Check. Meze with lots of courses of meat, fish, seafood, veg and dessert? Check. Wine by the carafe? Check. Not too pricey, especially given the quality of the food? Check. Highly recommend.

This restuarant has been owned by the same family for 45 years and their dedication shows! Delicious, seriously, and great portion sizes (this coming from an American who is used to gigantic portions :)

The mezi plate is fabulous but it will fill you up so beware! The service here is amazing- up to American standards! Good place for a date night.

This is a gem of a restaurant. I first went on a recommendation from a friend, had a great time and have been back a few times. I tend to go for the mezze option (for about £17) and it’s more than you could hope to eat – every dish is as delicious as the next, so it’s really hard to pace yourself.

The atmosphere here is one of the friendliest I’ve experienced and the service couldn’t be better. You’re welcomed with a great big smile, a hand shake and sometimes a pat on the back. The restaurant is quite small and there’s not much room between you and the table next to you, which actually adds to the feeling that you’re guests in the true sense of the word.

A good tip is not to eat much in the lead up to going as every inch of room counts!
