Alexiou's in Cotswold

Nice change from Italian or British pub food. Nice selection of traditional Greek dishes. What we had was tasty. Nice cosy atmosphere

We both had the chicken kebabs and Greek salad and they were of exceptional quality, I don’t think you would get better if you were on a Greek island ! The service was first class and if you are in Stow I fully recommend this restaurant

Very nice restaurant, great good, nice atmosphere, friendly staff, but perhaps a little pricey for what it is.

Just stumbled upon this gem! Sat in the sun outside and had 2 rounds of the meze!! 4 of us loved it x great service and great food. Would definitely recommend this place

Wonderful food, great selection. Very tasty! Music a little loud for our hard of hearing mother, but they turned it down straight away for us. Good service.

Feed was nice ..very overpriced for what we got..good job we ordered sides very pricey wasn't full after a 122.00 bill for 2

Incredible service from the most welcoming beautiful staff, Ella, Ellie, Millie and chef Joshua! Delicious food. Gorgeous setting! The tuna was simply perfect. CAN NOT FAULT.

Our favourite restaurant in The Cotswolds! Such a beautiful restaurant set in a charming little courtyard. We like to try something difference on the menu every time we visit and the ‘Monk Fish Special’ certainly did not disappoint! Thank you so much ‘Team Alexiou’s’ for a super evening!!!!

A lovely location and ambience, the staff were really friendly. Then we felt sadly let down by the food, I'd read great reviews, maybe my expectations were affected by this. I had the King Prawn in Garlic butter, Prawns cooked perfectly but dropped on a plate with no garnish and the flavouring was average. My wife had the Calamari which was nice. Me and my wife then had Chicken & Beef Kebabs respectively and again nothing inspiring, cooked well, a plain salad with feta, and surprisingly no warm pitta. We had two alcoholic drinks and one dessert and the bill was over £100. I've eaten at plenty of restaurants in Greece, so I guess I was expecting something more memorable.

First time at this restaurant having booked based on the great reviews. So glad we did, amazing food and lovely staff in a really lovely cozy environment. We had the chicken and beef kebabs which were both excellent. Loved the whole experience. Highly recommended and will certainly be back.

I came here for lunch and it was such a lovely meal. The staff were super friendly and accommodating. We sat outside in the beautiful courtyard and soaked up the lovely atmosphere. The food was also delicious and we were stuck for choice when looking at the great menu. Highly recommend for a lunch or dinner.

Lovely small cosy restaurant with excellent menu and drinks selection. The front of house staff were very efficient, friendly and knowledgeable of both the food and the wine list. The food was absolutely delicious, well cooked and well presented. It was busy on a Thursday evening, so booking is probably recommended. There is also a small courtyard for lunch when the sun is shining. Will definitely be returning.

Came here for a spontaneous dinner & the staff were very accommodating. The food was excellent & I was made to feel very welcomed. Very cosy on a rainy day, can’t recommend enough. If you want a taste of Greece, this is the place to be! Will definitely be back soon

Caught up with some friends over cocktails and had the sharing Mezze. So much food!! Staff were so lovely and helpful and the atmosphere was perfect. We were the last ones there and didn’t feel pressured to hurry up and leave! Can’t wait to go back on the next sunny day we get!

Avoid this restaurant if you have children, a disability or are likely to cancel. In the terms and conditions, the phrase £30 per person may be debited for no shows or cancellations. The important term here is “may be”. This implies that with reasonable excuses the management may waiver this payment. HE WON’T. He uses this as he WILL debit your account if for ANY reason you cannot make your booking or even if you choose to leave. We attended our booking at 6pm and found the staff to be insincere and rude. I enquired about a children’s menu to which I was told that there was none. The waitress was very sarcastic and eye rolled. She provided little help on how I should feed my 6 year old and the chef was not consulted for options. Then a different waitress asked to move my husband’s walking aides away from the menus wall. She pointed to the opposite wall as to where they would be. My husband agreed as they were still accessible. She didn’t leave them there, she put them out of sight in a different room. I could not find them when we got up to leave. We left because of the lack of service for children and because of my husband being made to feel “in the way” for being disabled. In the UK when you enter into a contract you are agreeing to provide a service. We arrived for our meal. We therefore satisfied our side of the agreed contract. We turned up. Hungry. We did not feel that the service was acceptable and we left which is our legal right. An hour later the restaurant debuted our account for £120! For making a choice that they were not up to industry standards. They expected us to stay despite us feeling very unwelcome. So, by collecting the £120 for no show or cancellation, the restaurant committed fraud because we did turn up on time, completing outside of any pre-agreed contract. They illegally took our money despite not satisfying their side of the contract. You do not have to stay and eat anywhere where two members of your family are not welcome. You do have a right to leave. Not here, apparently. Thankfully, HSBC cancelled my card and the payment was not allowed to exit my account. This was because we actioned this straight away. When my husband politely requested a refund on returning to the restaurant, he was told that had he approached the owner in a better way, then he would have been refunded. But because the owner felt threatened by a poor review, he refused to honour a refund. He told him to wait 24hrs for the chance of getting a refund whilst he checked some terms and conditions. He was extremely vague in any agreement to provide a refund. He wanted us to wait a day, when funds funds would clear into his account. Luckily, we took action against this fraud, thanks to HSBC. I can only say that you should never pre-book this restaurant. Only ever turn up. You cannot trust this person with your card details. He has used my card details without any signature, pin or legal permission. It is fraud. Further more, there will be plenty of space. Other than us there were only two other diners at 6pm leaving over a minimum of 10 tables empty. I couldn’t see upstairs, but I guess this could be more space available. Having a huge love for Greece and the warmth and quality of family connections and service, I can only say that I was thoroughly disappointed with what experience we encountered tonight. Stow on the Wold deserves better.

First Sunday they've been open this year it seems. Completely satisfied, food very nice, no problems at all. Staff all friendly and happy, had moussaka and chicken kebab. Very much as you would expect in Greece/Cyprus/Crete. Will be back.

Lovely restaurant tucked away in an alleyway in Stow. Food and service is great our second time here and would definitely recommend

Very disappointed we had booked for 4 of us to have a meal which was booked for 7pm, but due to travel disruptions we rang at 5;30 pm to explain and to cancel the booking as we may not get there for 7pm. Which we...

This is great little find in a cute Cotswold mews surrounded by chic shops. We had the choice of the sunny terraced area but opted to eat inside. The atmosphere and ambiance set the mood (more Soho house than Greek taverna), enhanced by the Sicilian...

A pleasant restaurant set in the corner of a quiet pedestrianised street, with both inside and outside seating. The menu is adequate but not that extensive, however the whole sole was excellent and the chicken kebab with tadziki and salad was fine. The lemon posset...

A booking of 4 on a steady Thursday evening. 3 had moussaka. Pretty poor really. Expected much better for the price. Very disappointing. Wouldn't book again

Booked a party of 6 on a Friday evening, we were asked to pre-order as they are a small restaurant and was told this is standard for parties over 4, this was a little challenging as our friends were arriving from America and did not...

Amazing food and great staff. Can’t fault it. I would highly recommend eating here. The staff were really friendly and genuine and food was amazing.

We had a fantastic night at Alexious, the service was excellent, very friendly and personal. The food was all delicious, all of our starters and meals were great. Would love to go back again!

A short menu (which was a good thing as the restaurant can concentrate on things it does well), and everything we had was tasty. Mixed starter was plentiful (we had 2 portions for 3 people and was perfect) and included an excellent range of greek...

We ate from the set menu which was tasty and good value. The staff were friendly and we enjoyed the experience. We would definitely eat here again.

Thank you so much for a wonderful evening. We felt so looked after from the minute we arrived, the service and staff are top notch. The cocktails were wonderful and the food delicious. Thank you for a fabulous evening we will be back next year...

We ate here two years ago while on holiday. I was determined to come again while staying in Stow on the Wold. It did not disappoint. Everything was perfect. We started with a selection of starters, which was quite filling! I had stifado, and the...

Tucked away up a side street you will find Alexiou's. What a find! The service was wonderful, attentive but not pushy. Nothing was too much trouble. The food was excellent. This is a restaurant where the chef obviously loves to cook. Not a huge menu,...

My wife and I love Greek food and Alexiou's didn't disappoint. The service and food were top notch and we wish we lived closer so we could go visit it more regularly.

Superb food, great atmosphere and lovely staff. Had a really lovely meal here on a weekend away in Stow and it didn’t disappoint! The food was top quality. We had the mezedakia to share for our starter and I had lamb moussaka for main. Both...

We visited last night after reading such positive reviews. We are a family of foodies but in addition to amazing food, we value great ambience and good service sprinkled with a little charisma. Unfortunately Alexiou’s only delivered in respect of the food which was faultless....

We are regulars at Alexiou's and cannot do anything other than sing it's praises. Everything about this restaurant is faultless and Cleo, the owner, and her lovely team always make us feel so very welcome. Keep up the great work Chris and Paula xx

Great ambiance and service. Easy to choose menu. Excellent food. Greek food felt very authentic. House wine very pleasant.

Very nice restaurant, excellent food although not lots of choice. The restaurant itself was very nice, if I were to give a negative it would be to make it feel more Greek. Maybe some pictures of Greece on the walls. It just needed a bit...

This greek restaurant is a gem! Everything from the special starter, through the lamb moussaka to the dessert was exceptional. Nicole made us feel at home right away and had the best recommendations .

Love this restaurant - was only able to visit once and we only stayed 2 nights, definitely include this one if you visit Stow on the Wold, it's an amazing restaurant - good vegetarian choices too and lovely staff.

I can’t say enough about this wonderful restaurant. We planned a very special surprise family reunion to celebrate my parents 35th wedding anniversary - Cleo was so wonderfully accommodating and fully played along with our surprise plan - seating them with a drink whilst they...

Excellent food and service. Our meals were a starter of Humous and Pitta bread. And mains of Lamb koftas, Mousaka, baked Sea Bass with sides of Greek salads, hand cut chips and tzatziki. All freshly cooked and very tasty and full of flavour. Wine list...

Visited twice whilst staying for a week in stow. The food was probably the best greek food we have tasted outside of Greece . Staff couldn't do enough for you,they happily talk you through the menu, knowledgeable and passionate about their food and wine and...

My wife and I had grown tired of similar offerings all week and we longed for an ethnic experience not tied to a pub. We found it. This restaurant was started--and is run--by the children of a Cypriot chef who barely escaped the invasion of...

We booked after finding this place on TA (another great recommendation, thank you) and were really pleased with the quality of the food and service. We had the mixed Greek starter dish for four and it was very tasty and there was plenty of it....

Last minute reservation. The co-owner was lovely. Very friendly and welcoming. Wine list very reasonable. Food was all very tasty. Had the large mixed starter and a main course each. All dishes very good indeed. Would return.

Have wanted to go here for months. Understandably always fully booked. Perfect place to celebrate GCSE results today! Wonderful welcome as soon as we walked in. Gorgeous decor and cozy atmosphere. Felt like we were on holiday. Beautiful, tasty and freshly cooked food, without a...

Highly recommend this place and would love to return! Even the houmous and pitta to start were wonderful - fresh and very tasty. We loved our mains and the service was also superb. Will visit again when next in the area

This was a truly magic experience - the welcome, the service and the food all went to make it a highly memorable experience! A concise menu means freshly cooked food of a high quality!

A calm relaxing atmosphere with lovely interior decoration, delicious food and welcoming staff. Lovely to have something different in the Cotswolds.

Fantastic restaurant with great food, wine and atmosphere. The staff made it for us as they were so accommodating and friendly. My only criticism is that the chicken kebab definitely lacked some hummus and pita. (Was essentially chicken and salad). But would happily return.

What a wonderful experience us ladies had today at Alexiou’s for lunch. Sharing plater with vino spritzers was absolutely amazing! So delicious as the chef Aris and hostess with the mostess Clio looked after us. What more could you ask for in a beautiful cotswold...

The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and the food was very tasty. It's set in a beautiful courtyard location, with a choice to sit inside or out on a sunny day!

We had a fantastic evening at Alexiou’s. Firstly the restaurant itself is stunning tucked away in a little courtyard. The restaurant inside as lovely as it is outside. The hostess, Cleo was absolutely delightful. She welcomed us and attended to everything that we needed going...

Superb! Food smelt and tasted amazing. Top quality food and wine. Nothing was too much trouble. Beautiful spot to eat outside.

This restaurant will keep you coming back for more. Between the beautiful interior and outdoor area, the outstanding service and the delicious, authentic food (by far the best in the area), you will not be disappointed. A very reasonable price point for the quality and...

We were really looking forward to a good Greek meal. As to be honest good Greek food,,,, Stays in Greece. Some bits can be replicated, But rarely the whole meal We had Spanakopita Feta and Spinnach triangles, With some Lovely Italian style tomato sauce, Which...

Enjoyed our evening at Alexiou’s - excellent service and good food …. made me want to visit Greece again!

The best food in town without a doubt. Very welcoming, knowledgeable and attentive staff. Perfect food with a decor and atmosphere to match. Honestly one of the best restaurants we’ve visited, in some time.

It's simply the best: best food, best service, best atmosphere. Cleo and the team never fail to impress.

A fabulous little gem. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening and will definitely return if we’re back in Stow. I highly recommend the moussaka, because it was absolutely superb! Thank you for making us feel so welcome.

Had a nice evening at Alexiou’s , very friendly staff , nice food and good atmosphere. Not too bad on price compared to others in Stow .

Absolute little gem of a restaurant tucked away down a little picturesque alleyway in Stow. Very pretty, great atmosphere, very welcoming family run business. The food was super fresh, delicious and made us feel like we were right back in Greece. Fabulous menu choices for...

We enjoyed a lovely Saturday evening at Alexiou's. We were greeted and looked after by a truly lovely lady (the manager I believe) whose knowledge of both the food and drink was second to none. The food was amazing, freshly prepared and delicious, with a...

I love this place! I really do. Menu is simple and jot over complicated but beautiful. It’s so fresh. The staff are wonderful, especially the owner. Honestly back and back again! Our happy place.

After several attempts at at booking a table, because the restaurant ia so popular, Cleo contacted me by SMS and kindly managed to get us a cancellation. Lovely restaurant with superb service and delightful food. It was a family reunion and we had a great...

Lovely quaint little restaurant which had excellent customer service but I felt let down by the food.I have eaten in many Greek traditional restaurants but this one I was a touch disappointed with.The menu was appealing but the dishes served were very mediocre and lacked...

Came by this restaurant whilst out walking, tucked in a corner up an alleyway of shops. It was closed at the time, but we booked online for later in the week. Its small and bijoux but it has a nice outside eating area, lovely in...

Friendly, professional , warm and engaging service and fabulous food. What more do you need? Girly weekend and made fo feel so welcome and felt that the interactions were very authentic. We shared one meze between us as a starter with the garlic king prawns...

Surprised by the amount of 'glowing' reviews on here. The Pros were, lovely place, super polite service, spacious and very clean. The cons, limited menu, food was 'OK', thought it quite expensive. But maybe i'm the one that's wrong, these are just my opinions. Others...

This wasn't our first visit to Alexious, having visited a few times since it opened. It's fair to say it's still the most amazing culinary experience, with outstanding service. Cleo and the team really have set the bar very high for others to try and...

My boyfriend booked this for my birthday and it did not disappoint! Food was absolutely outstanding and took us back to when we holiday in the Green Islands during the summer months! Service was also exceptional - the lady looking after us (sorry I didn’t...

Exceptional food and service! Very nice ambiance. A real gem in Stow-on-the-Wold. Will definitely visit again when next in the Cotswolds.

Very friendly , lovely setting , great food Couldn’t do enough for us. Fantastic value for money. They even managed to get it to snow for us while there

A really good restaurant. Greek Cypriot, authentic food served in a small restaurant with a great ambiance. The best thing is the service, which is so smooth and very friendly. A lovely restaurant.

Spending a couple of nights in Stow on the Wold we had the pleasure of dining at Alexiou's. We enjoyed great hospitality, superb food and excellent wine in a lovely restaurant. Would thoroughly recommend if you are in the area.

Amazing food and ambiance. We were a party of 8 and everyone of us enjoyed our meal. We were made to feel extremely welcome and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you so much.

EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE AND FOOD!!! Our first visit to Alexiou’s and certainly will not be our last!!! A heavenly little courtyard with the soft sound of music as you approach and as soon as we entered we were greeted by Cleo the co-owner, she was absolutely...

We were recommended Akexiou's by a family member and it didn't disappoint! Staff were very friendly and welcoming. They answered our questions and recommended a beautiful cretan wine. Food was fantastic and authentic. Would definitely recommend.

Stumbled across this Greek restaurant whilst visiting Stow on Wold in the Cotswolds from our home in North London (which has a thriving Greek community and restaurants ) and thought we would try and give it the authentic thumb trial test. Alexiou did not disappoint....

We visited this restaurant whilst staying nearby in Bourton on the Water. Alexiou’s had a lovely atmosphere and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was delicious - we shared the spanakopita and houmous starters and the chicken kebab main. Overall a very...

Wonderful food, great staff and warm outdoor seating. A perfect meal for our second night on honeymoon.
