    Absolute fantastic,there's 2 floors you can sit on ground floor or upstairs,it's very large Restaurant.Greek meze was beautiful,the Greek salad with the freshly made tzatiki was superb.I recommend it if you want Greek food,it's like being in Greece.

    Wanted to try Greek food ,I was impressed.Meze was filling, plenty of dishes too much choice.Desserts were all served in front of us.Very fresh and tasted amazing. You can either sit in the main restaurant as you walk in ,and or you can sit upstairs. There was a few parties so atmosphere was fabulous.Id definitely recommend.

    A polite stuff and an elegant restaurant know where their food come from. I have never had such impolite experience when I ask about the origin of the beef ""halal or not"" and encouter tempered service because of this Q. Actually I noticed unwelcome way from that person when I came and waited to be seated ,,Based on his gaze I thought he is not a member of the restaurant stuff, then I shocked how is he welcoming other people? Does he have anger with muslim people? Or Arab people? Or what kind of behaviour he had?? To teach you what elegant restaurant behave,, they ask the chef or even get the ingrediant catalogue to show me the ingrediant. It has been long time I did not visit this place since I had a talk with the chef enjoying his story when he was working in the saudia royal family.

    Went here for a hen night - food was ok but just shoved on the table in front of you - no explanation of what each thing was. Bar service was awful - ordered a pitcher of s*x on the beach and was given some murky green concoction?? took we refused to take it - but was told ‘keep it - I’ll make you another’ - the replacement was fine. This then happened a second time after we had waited about 10 mins for it , when we question was it correct he said sorry I didnt have the correct ingredients??? Why not come and tell us that!! Each cocktail took at least 10 mins to make as he kept disappearing? The dj was one of their staff with a laptop who kinda gave up and wondered off leaving guests to put in their own choices. Also get down the stairs quick if you want to join in plate smashing as only a few plates were available. But to top it off we were then brought a bill - not itemised just an amount on a piece of paper - for the incorrect amount- tried to charge us for 17 people instead of 16. I just kept saying 16 and he kept saying no 17. Only when he counted the chairs that we round the table did he agree it was for 16. Returned with another incorrect bill - tried to charge £42 for service charge - once again it went back to be amended . 3 rd attempt was correct - if I wanted to pay service charge I will don’t automatically add it - and as the bar and table service were both rubbish it’s my decision. So overall I think large parties especially hen etc are just rushed through but everyone else seemed to enjoy it especially hen whom we kept all this away from x

    Ordered from Deliveroo at approx 2130. Estimated delivery at 2205-2220. At 2213 the restaurant cancelled the order. After contacting deliveroo I was informed they said we'd rang to cancel the order. This is untrue. I had not contacted them and they had made no attempt to contact us. Fortunately, Deliveroo refunded the order but very frustrating to wait 40 minutes to have an order cancelled and find the restaurant have lied to Deliveroo about it. Will not order from here again.

    I pre ordered my food as requested by the restaurant as I am vegan. I received everything that I requested for my starter but not receive my main course. The manager said that I had , had enough food. He was rude and did not listen to my complaint

    Bread was sweet, sauce was bland, chips were dry, and chicken smelled bad

    Staff is absolutely unprofessional. They get you in for interviews and calls and cancel or never call you. Place is unorganised
