Feta and Honey starter one of the best things I’ve eaten in London. Would categorize the rest of the food as good but not great.

Good food and plenty of it. The waiter was honest enough to tell my friend and I that we had over ordered as the portions were large. Although we removed one starter from the order we still had too much food but it was very good. We would go again if we were in the area.
