Beautiful little place to wine and dine. Very relaxed atmosphere with great interior. The Christmas lights and decorations were really lovely and gave you a warm welcome. It was nice to have the cat greeting the guests. Beautiful, chilled relaxing meal. Thank you so much for a great treat. We will definitely return. Happy customers 😊

A superb authentic Greek restaurant. We both had the meze which was great value, and more than enough for the two of uus. All courses were perfectly prepared. The staff were fantastic too, attentive and friendly too.

The service was extremely slow. We had a starter of pitta bread, olives and hummus which took nearly half an hour to arrive and then the main was another half hour after that. The mousaka was made of beef mince, not lamb, but was tasty all the same. The stuffed aubergines with rice was tasteless. All in all it was disappointing and we won’t be returning. The Greek white house wine was, however, very nice.
