A family friendly, modern Greek restaurant. Catering to dietaries, large bookings or private functions, as well as takeaway options. It is so natural for the Greeks to be drawn to hospitality roles that there is even a word with deep historical significance to describe it. ‘philoxenia’ ~ translating to ‘friend of a stranger’ (philos: friend and xenia: stranger). It is accepted as synonymous with hospitality, a willingness to share hospitality generously, and is even suggested to be part of the Greek DNA. When you dine at KALA you are no longer a stranger. You become part of the family. Kali Orexi!

We had an amazing dinner at Kala. The lamb shoulder was to die for. My husband was pretty excited about GF Greek donuts which were sensational too. Nothing was too much trouble, in fact the staff were happy for us to sit inside with another glass of wine while they cleaned up until our Uber arrived. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re down in the area.

Food and ambience made it feel like we were in Greece again. We had to wait due to its popularity to get a booking but it was worth the wait. The staff and food were excellent and we look forward to regularly dining at Kala!
