As a Greek i am destined or even obliged to rate not only based on the food itself but its authenticity as well since the place is advertised as greek.
The food is not that bad and the staff is very welcoming and professional but in terms of authenticity it is 3/10.
This is more like a hip/trendy place for people who are not familliar or not looking for authenticity.
Best way to describe it is fusion Greek.
We came for the brunch only available on weekends. We ordered halloumi sticks, squid salad, moussaka, chicken gyros, lime cheesecake and loukoumades. We also ordered 2 lates and 1 orange juice and 1 lemonade.
Our lates were so strong and not good at all. There was so much ice in our cold drinks that we had two sips of each drink.
We received some tzatziki and pita for starters. The pita was flat, soggy and tasted off, the tzatziki did not taste like tzatziki at all (no greek yogurt, barely any cucumbers and no garlic). I received my squid salad, which was doused in so much sauce that i barely tasted the squid.
The pita of my gyros was so awful i only ate the inside and i did not even finish the chicken. The eggplant in the moussaka was raw and not similar at all to the real greek moussaka (no bechamel sauce); we sent it back and the second plate we received was full of chewy eggplant.
The cheesecake was barely a cheesecake and more a jello dessert, it was wobbly and didnt taste like much.
Go anywhere else if you want reel greek cuisine.

Ordered delivery. Chicken was unseasoned and undercooked. The “authentic Greek salad” had virtually no feta on it, the produce quality was mediocre, and it was the size of a side salad for 14€90. The 16€90 Greek salad with chicken was the same tiny portion and had no seasoning. Tarama has an “off” flavor to it. Everything was unseasoned and the pita was undercooked. I can’t speak to the wine, service, or ambiance, but don’t eat the food here.

I ordered on deliveroo and the food I received was inedible. Chicken was undercooked. Tarama smelled and tasted bad. The feta was missing from the Greek salad and there was no feta in the spinach rolls. The fried feta was rubbery. I had to order something else. Do not order from here.

The workers were extremely nice and welcoming - the food was even better.
