Alexander The Great in Camden

What a lovely restaurant. Big portions of really delicious fare. The bbq chicken was tender and the hslloumis really fresh. The owner is very hospitable, no wonder it's really popular. Wish they had more dessert options, but definitily will visit again.

Just returned from a fantastic evening at the restaurant and had to write a review. After seeing so many good reviews for the place I decided to book for a Friday night meal with my partner. As soon as i arrived I knew I had made the right decision, great venue, friendly staff and good atmosphere. The food was great, good portion sizes, tasty and good quality. We ordered a set menu and the selection was fantastic - just make sure you are hungry as the food keeps on coming! Would highly recommend and will definitely come back again.

Excellent service and first class food at superb value for money. Would enthusiastically return when in the area again.

The Meze option is definitely worth! The portion is big and you will definitely walk away full. The food was really great and the service matches as well.

Absolutely the best Cypriot spot in town! The food is delicious with generous portions, and the service is outstanding. Maria and Benji truly know how to make you feel at home with that warm Mediterranean atmosphere. Can’t wait to return—thank you again!

We had the Vegetarian Meze i.e., a selection of cold starters, followed by Grilled Halloumi and Spanakopitta, followed by Vegetarian Moussaka and Salad. And all for just £23.95!. We also had dessert i.e., Pistachio Cake and Baklava. Another £12.00. Washed down with a 1/2 Carafe of Red Wine. It was all delicious and enormous. (Well it was a special occasion) So varied too. We sat outside as it was a warm evening. The place was busy but the service was still great.

Amazing food! Great menu & friendly staff. Hidden gem in this neighborhood!!!

Excellent restaurant! I was able to eat two kinds of dishes without gluten or milk but they were very good!

Excellent Greek restaurant in the heart of Camden, and in my opinion, the better of the 2 on this street for food, atmosphere / ambience, and attentive staff. Prices were reasonable, and you won't come out of here hungry!

What to say! I can’t believe how generous and kind the team were. Friday evening before the bank holiday, it was packed and yet they provided us with outstanding service and food. Eileen is simply incredible - she worked so hard but in the nicest possible way. We will definitely be back! 🙏

Great food and lively atmosphere. Definitely recommend, a hidden gem! Go hungry as portions are quite big.

I've been coming here for a while, especially around lunchtime.The food has always been good. Nice atmosphere, some tables outside, good menu. They also have a great £11.50 lunch menu that they advertise with a sign out on the street. I have noticed that they don't give you the lunch menu unless they have seen you before or unless you ask for it explicitly. This has happened to both myself various times, and to people sitting down at tables next to me. When I asked the waiter about this today, they told me that this is how the boss wants it. I feel uncomfortable with this. I wish they gave every customer both the regular and the lunch menu instead, so that customers are fully informed before they order.

Food was tasty, but needed some sauce to accompany - like a tzatziki. We had the Alexander Souvlaki, Chicken Souvlaki & Vegetarian Platter. All tasty, just requires a sauce & a proper Greek salad, not a British version.

Excellent Food, along with fantastic service 10/10

The food was delicious, the restaurant was clean and beautifully decorated, all the stuff members were polite and very fast.

Fabuloso. La Comida nos ha encantado y el servicio inmejorable. El dueño ha tenido detalles con nosotros. Relación calidad precio sobresaliente. Muy recomendable

Delicious food and great service. Highly recommended!

A really Greek restaurant, almost like in Greece. Food was very good. Very nice staff. Price performance also good. One star deducted for ambience because everything is very tight.

The Greek salad was mostly lettuce, had just a few slices of tomato on the top to make it look pretty, very "UK taste" not what I was expecting from authentic Greek cuisine. The rest of the food was fine. Prawns were very tough and not much of them, sardines didn't taste fresh but not expecting too much for London, they were cooked well. The souvlaki was very good but you need to order the accompaniments separately otherwise it's just meat and rice. Service was fine but a little hectic. They did accommodate a request we had to sit 2 groups together.

Me and a friend were looking for a Portuguese restaurant, but were closed so we ended up by exploring Greek cuisine! The best thing we did ! It felt like holidays, great portion we had the mixed grill and we shared … totally recommend! Get some starters too !

We ordered too much of food. There was no tzatziki, or hummus that came with the meal but the olives were delicious. The kleftiko and the calamari we decent. We did get complimentary baklava which was a very nice treat.

We had a really nice family dinner here.

Great local restaurant with really good food and service. Definitely check it out.

Great service, good food, no oversell ... special thanks to Maria, great waitresses x

Great food and the waiter was very kind with us

I would love to have given here a 5 star review, like so many but our experience was not as good. We ordered meze for 2 , cold starters ok, hot starter a small side plate of hot starter for 2 to shareThen came the fish ( sadly this lacked what we are currently used to in other greek tavernas in North London. We had soggy calamari and a small prawn each with the poo still in it. The came the meat section 2 small pieces of old lamb( we both agreed on this recooked , stale lamb, a few bits of very chewy pork , 2 chicken thighs and a kofte .Salad was a lovely greek salad and the rice was also good. Wine was nice. service friendly, but the waitress added another 10% to our bill despite the menu and bill clearly stating that they DO NOT add service, but left upto customer. So felt totally ripped off there. Almost 100,00 for a below average meze and a bottle of greek wine. My recommendations for meze or non meza will be absolutely Vrisaki , and Panari Taverna, and Babinondas another great greek classic.

The restaurant was amazing at accommodating my 7 friends and I, they have a cute outdoor space at the front of the restaurant, since it's in a quiet street you don't see almost any car or people walking by. All the waiters were very friendly, our waiter Maria was very patient with us giving us recommendations of dishes and taking care of allergens too. The food was outstanding, very authentic greek food, with a very diverse menu. I have been to Greece many times, and this restaurant really took me back to Greece. So Thank you to the whole team!

Had a great lunch here. Sat outside and enjoyed some very tasty food and a few beers. Reasonably priced and very friendly service.

Honestly one of the best restaurants I’ve been too in a long time. Had such a lovely evening here yesterday celebrating my sister’s birthday. The staff were amazing. Super friendly and really looked after us the whole time we were there, especially Catalin. He was the best. Really made us feel special. The food was so tasty and you get really good value for money at this place. I had the king prawns and the flavours were amazing. I can’t wait to go back here again. Overall dining here was such a delight from start to finish.

Everybody is wonderful!!! Food is also wonderful!!! Everything is WONDERFUL!!!

Had an amazing dinner, great food and staff!! Very authentic Greek tried the fish meze and it was soooooo worth it!!! Definitely recommend! Thank you Eileen for making our experience great.

It was a spectacular night, on the terrace enjoying a special meal, with attentive and friendly waiters. I understand that many birthdays are celebrated. Where they break a set of dishes so you have good luck.

We have never been more full and happy after a meal. The staff were so polite, fun and attentive, we will definitely return with friends, family and dates, especially for birthdays!

Lovely place the food and staff never disappoint

The food was absolutely incredible. The staff was attentive and the food arrived incredibly quickly which was great! Afterwards you get a free peace of watermelon when you ask for the bill which made this whole experience extra great. I would definitely go here again and advice anyone to add this to their list. One of our diners has a gluten intolerance, but they where super helpfull and had so many options and even replaced some of the non gluten-free parts of dishes for free!

This is by far the best Greek restaurant I have been to. The food was fresh, the staff were friendly and the atmosphere was lively and energetic. Really love place to eat.

The place and the staff were really great. I genuinely had one of the best moussaka of my life. Benji was overly nice and welcoming. Highly recommended!

Great food, good prices and nice customer service! Very recommended!

The lunch special is really worth having. £11.50 for choice of 3 courses.

Excellent food and atmosphere! Thanks to Benji for his welcome and his service, we will come back without hesitation!

Very well received by Benji during the service! Very kind and helpful! Thank you so much !

The service was great, especially Benji and Vasily and the food was super delicious. Thanks again, see you soon.

All the servers and food are awesome! A little nod to Vasily and Benji!

Unbelievable value with the lunch set menu!

Heard of Athens?? Don't bother. Camden has all you need. Maria goes above and beyond. Food was incredible and speedily served. Interior tasteful and friendly. Service beyond perfect. Couldn't be happier!! Will be back.

The restaurant was very busy and we had not made a reservation but fortunately turnover was quick and we did not wait long. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the food was great. Servings were large and my wife and I shared a starter and a main and could not finish them. There is a really friendly vibey atmosphere.

Great value for money and Maria was an absolute star!

Great restaurant with an upbeat atmosphere. Such warm, hospitable and lively staff! Celebrated 2 birthday's! It was a lot of fun!

Great atmosphere, friendly people in service, tasty food and big portions.

vasilis was such a good host. With the atmosphere, checking on us throughout, having good small talks. Food was superb and we were so full. Great value ❤️

Amazing food and wonderful staff. The recommendations they gave us were great. We ordered 2 mains and one appetizer and we were thinking of adding another appetizer, but our waitress told us it is enough, and she was more than right! Overall, a great experience.

"Andy was amazing with his attentive service, food delicious and very generous portions. Warm and welcoming environment!!"

Local competition pushes this restaurant to an excellent service. Lovely atmosphere whether you are going for a date, family gathering, or even just having a solo meal. All dishes are great whatever you choose.

So friendly staff, they really make the difference. Food was nice and correct price quality.

Food was over cooked and not possible to eat. Not sure if the was a one off or regular.

Chicken Souvlak was great, really well cooked and just what we wanted :)

Exactly as it says on the tin. Lovely food highly recommend. Ten out of ten

Absolutely amazing this is so worth a visit. The food is amazing. The staff are wonderful. Definitely visit again next time im here

stunning food, great service. had an amazing time, would definitely come again! thanks so much i thoroughly enjoyed my visit

The food here is absolutely amazing. The staff are wonderful probably one of the best restaurants I’ve ever visited.

It was my first time eating Greek food and it was so delicious. The portion is quite large and delicious. I recommend it.

Googled best Greek restaurants in London and by reviews this hidden gem popped up. At first there’s a lot of other Greeks restaurants within walking distance but here had the most customers. We popped in for quick lunch and immediately found the lunch time special very reasonably priced. Instead we ordered the Alexander mixed platter, chicken and Greek salad to share between 3 adults. Portion size was good, rice soft, crispy potatoes and meat was by far cooked to perfection. My only criticism was the need of sauce or a dip to accompany the meal and maybe less lettuce in the Greek salad but that’s my own personal preference option. Thank you team at Alexander the Great!

Amazing food, atmosphere and people. We were served by Eileen and we were very well looked after. The food came very quick and the portions were plenty. I went with a family of 5 to this restaurant for my Mum's Birthday, we brought our own cake and the staff at Alexander the Great Restaurant did a special Happy Birthday with all the bells and whistles, my mum loved it and has never experienced anything like that before. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who loves authentic greek food or who has never had a greek experience before. The only thing that was missing was a dance floor as i can imagine everyone getting up between eating to dance the Sousta lol

Delicious food and great service! The desert was amazing and me and my family would absolutely come back here again if we have the chance!

Everything we ate was amazing! Great atmosphere!

Great value. Great food. Lovely staff.

Magnificent Greek cuisine. Best roast potatoes I have had in a long while.

A very authentic Cypriot restaurant, amazingly cooked Cypriot dishes with fresh and tasty ingredients. A really special night. We enjoyed our Meze very much!!

Great food and warm hospitality. The spanakopita was delicious as were the kebabs. Would have had the saganaki but the Mrs had on a bit too much hairspray. We were definitely concerned about starting the next great London fire.

Delicious, authentic Greek dishes with very friendly service. Benji was a wonderful waiter and made sure that all of our dietary needs were met. We loved it here!

Really amazing food. Great value for money. place it's very cute and service is lovely. Especially out waiter Vasilis took great care of us. Highly recommend

Amazing food and service! Vasilis was a great server! I will be back :)

Very good food! Quick and friendly service as well, also good prices

Amazing owners, passionate about their food and culture.

Decent food, £90 for meal for 2 and drinks.

Went here with my family there was 18 of us as we gathered b4 a wedding the next day, the food was lovery and so much of it . This was a lovely evening the staff were wonderful hope 2 b back soon x

Very good service , very good food and very good prices

I had a great experience dining there, the service with Vasilis was great. We broke many plates (Greek style) and he even gave me some tips of virtuoso bouzouki players. Exactly what you need from a Greek restaurant!

Piece of Greece in London, highly recommended!

10/10 go there!! The staff are amazing and super friendly and accommodating for allergies, and the place is gorgeous with a lovely atmosphere. Serving sizes are massive and such good value and taste incredible - felt like I was in Greece - you have to go here if you are anywhere near the Euston/Camden area!!

Fantastic experience from start to finish at Alexander the Great! Highly recommend for quality Greek food in London. Food is super fresh with generous portions and the staff is more than happy to accommodate. Vasilis was extremely kind in ensuring our first meal in London was nothing short of exceptional. Will certainly return here for our Greek cravings and grateful for the kindness of all the staff! Thank you!

Loved it here, been meaning to come here for ages!! Food was gorgeous and our waiter Andy was lovely :)

23.6.24, The best fresh grilled sardines, rosemary infused chips, whitebait, salads, and inclusive welcome & great service this side of the med. Even without a glass, or 2, of the never disappointing retsina, dining here makes you feel as happy and relaxed as if you had spent the morning swimming whilst on a sun drenced cypriot holiday. ¡Gracias a todas! Andrew & my lunch with you this afternoon was an ace way to start the North London summer. See you soon, lots of love Catherine xxx 21.12.23 ¡Felices Fiestas! Merry Christmas to all at Alexander the Great- the best restaurant in Camden for sure and arguably the best Greek/Cypriot restaurant in London!! Everyone in this fabulous establishment fills one not only with delicious food-the fish is always fresh, full of flavour and perfectly prepared, but with joy, warmth and a sense of immense well being with their care and generosity. Thanks to everyone, we´ll be back so to our charming waiter. please don´t retire just yet!! Enjoy your new year relaxing holidays Vassalli you enjoy it! Much love Catherine and Andy 12.6.2023 A meal in Alexander the Great restaurant can make a good day WONDERFUL. The food is absolutely delicious, the great quality of the fresh seafood and its skillful preparation never fail to impress- the calamar and the sardines can´t be praised highly enough, and the warm, friendly, welcoming and relaxing ambiance provided by the brilliant staff (especially be Vassalli who is a complete star) makes a visit here a joy. Also it´s great value. I urge you to visit and support this remarkable restaurant, you will not regret it. Love and thanks to everyone involved in providing Andy and I a great late lunch yesterday, from Catherine. august 2021 Delicious food, wonderful service, a warm abundantly friendly atmosphere, as if one were in a beach front restaurant on a Mediterranean holiday, but without the need to fly, quarantine, or even leave north London. Eileen and her fellow waiters, the extremely talented chefs in the kitchen, and the exceptional value of marvellous seafood, meat, cheese, salad and vegetables prepared with skill and attention, plus good wine and Greek beer too, make Alexander the Great a joy to visit time after time, thanks to all involved, love Catherine

This place is amaze ! Came here with my gf and was amazing for our first date ! Lovely food and lovely atmosphere would defo recommend

Fantastic restaurant in a quieter area of London. Service, food and atmosphere is fantastic, very cute restaurant area.

Great food and atmosphere. I would come back a second time.

The environment in there was awesome! The staff are very welcoming and the food was very delicious and great value for money. Definitely coming back!!

service was 10/10, a very welcoming vibe. Benji and Vasilis were our waiters and honestly they were lovely. It was my friend’s 22nd Birthday, she throughly enjoyed the food ( p.s she is a fussy eater!!!!). Thank you guys for making my friends birthday dinner extra special. Will definitely be returning

We have been here many times but it had been a while since our last visit. We chose to dine here for our anniversary and the standards haven't dropped even a bit! We nearly always have the mixed meze, it's outstanding! We were mostly helped by Vasilis and he couldn't be more welcoming and warm. He really added to the whole experience! We sat outside and watched the world go by but could still hear the music from inside. Can't recommend enough!

Wonderful dinning experience! We booked the table but turned up earlier, however, we received the excellent service from the beginning to the end. The food was fabulous, delicious, generous portion and all beautifully presented. A big shout out to Vasili, amazing service which made you at ease and enjoy the whole dinner more. Highly recommended and we definitely will come back!

Amazing place with excellent food and home atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Everything is always perfect! Great food, amazing atmosphere and wonderful staff. Our families favourite restaurant.

we had a lovely evening there. the food was great. the staff was great. special thanks to Aileen. We have never met a waitress who was so attentive, courteous and passionate about her job.

The restaurants full of rats, the prices online doesn't match the prices in the restaurant its way more expensive. The old white man that works in the restaurants so rude. I hated the experience.

Excellent service and people , amazing delicious food with a Great atmosphere . Love our time there, whenever i am coming back in London definitely i am going there.

Absolutely phenomenal dining experience! The service was impeccable, with attentive staff ensuring our every need was met. Highly recommend this gem for anyone seeking an authentic Greek culinary adventure! Five stars all the way!

Best Greek Cypriot Restaurant I have ever tried in London! Tastes and Environment travel you to the original traditions of Cyprus and Greece! Must visit!!

First of all, the appetizer plates we ordered were so small that we almost had to use a magnifying glass to see the appetizers. The prices on the internet and the prices on the invoice we received were not the same. And the food was very stale. I will never go again and I don't recommend anyone to go. The old waiter working was also very rude..

The best place ever to have your Birthday diner! Whilst having delicious food we witnessed how enthousiast they celebrated visiting London before and my daughters biggest wish was to go there to celebrate her 14th Bday. All the way from Amsterdam and it was so worth it! One tall waiter sang his guts out ( forgot his name) and we sure will be back in december when she turns 15! Can't wait
