An absolute gem! The food is incredibly fresh, with high-quality ingredients that you can truly taste in every bite. The stone sea bass was cooked to perfection — delicate, flavorful, and unforgettable. What made the experience even better was the warm, generous hospitality. The gentleman running the place is exceptionally welcoming and makes you feel right at home. Highly recommended!

Lamb with potato (tsigariosto) was amazing. the cretan pot was original but had too many potatoes in it. kataifi nest amazing. Cool vibe and service. We had 50% off with the fork app, otherwise it'd be too expensive. gamopilafo and dakos so so. fish portion was too small.

Took 45 minutes for our mains to come, had to ask for a single wine glass 3 times and asked for the bill 4 times. The dishes were tiny portions, pretty mediocre and at extortionate prices. The only positive was that the staff were friendly. At my table of 5, none were impressed. Would not come again.

Small Greek restaurant, located near the BBC, specialising in Cretan Food. Unusual range of dishes including snails in a salt, vinegar and rosemary sauce, Koliva, a dessert that is usually served at Greek funerals. To drink, we chose a Greek red wine, called Celini @ £38.00 per bottle, which had a strong tannin taste. I chose Gamopilafo, lamb and rice, for my main course. At the regular price, this would normally have been £29.00. Service was good, without being obtrusive. If you fancy something slightly out of the ordinary, it’s worth trying this restaurant once.

Considerably over-priced, even considering the location. Don't order the "smoked pork steak" expecting some local Cretan exoticism: you'll get gammon. The Lyrarakis Estate (£52) is inferior to a £9 bottle from M&S. The lamb (gamopilafo) was, however, very decent, if also over-priced.

Truly wonderful restaurant! Absolutely loved dining here - fantastic innovative and fresh flavours, enjoyed every dish served - fantastic modern twists on Cretan cooking while still being authentic. Loved the lamb kebabs (photo attached), and the salad was one of the most delicious I’ve ever had. Very cool, minimal and stylish decor too, together with lovely staff - this restaurant truly deserves to be a huge success!

Friendly staff, the pork steak was very tough. They don't offer any alcohol free drinks like beer, and there were no ingredients in the bar to make a cocktail. There were no toilet rolls or hand towels in the toilet.

Food was nice and well presented. The food was good value for money in central London but the wines were expensive so limiting choice if you are on a budget. My partner had a vegan stifado which she liked but felt it lacked the depth of flavour of a home cooked one. I had the lamb kebab which I really enjoyed, not overcooked or dry. Our starters, stuffed vine leaves and feta rolls were great. Service was pleasant and relaxed, just what you want and we didn’t feel any pressure to hurry our lunch. All in a a great place to eat away from the chain restaurants.

I've been here a few times - it's a good restaurant with good food. This is the first time I've tried the new lunch menu. It's well priced with lots of options. Vine leaf starter was good as was the Greek salad. My main was disappointing, chicken gyros. It looked like I bowl of leftover - thrown in - not enough meat or potatoes (which were also like left over pieces). The flavour was there and I wanted to like it but the presentation and portion size was not good. My friends had the lamb kebab, which I wish I had ordered too! Good portion and they said it was delicious. Service was also a little disinterested too. Good value and have had much better service and meals here.

Very efficient and friendly service. Excellent oysters. Too much vinegar and rosemary in the snails. Too much acid/lemon in the greens. Main of antikristo was excellent. Braised Lamb was great but potatoes were very chalky - maybe due to undercooking or variety used. Dessert was great. Decent wine. No loo roll in toilets and shampoo was being used in lieu of hand soap.

Overall disappointing experience. The food was ok, but we found some of the staff member’s behaviour rude and disappointing. They seem to give some customers preferential treatment, while they do not really care for the custom of others. They need to specify on their online booking system where the table is located. Despite having a booking we were placed outside at a pavement table. This would not have been our choice as it is not pleasant when it’s chilly and the road (and pavement) has constant traffic. We asked politely if we can be moved inside just to be rudely told that they are keeping the inside tables for bigger groups (we were only 3). Cherry on top was that the inside tables never got really full while we were there and they also moved another group of 3 inside when they requested it (preferential treatment). Won’t be returning or recommending this restaurant to friends and family.

Delicious spot - the Tamara, the dakos salad, the Cretan pot, the kantaifi nest and the boureki were outstanding (the mushroom pitaiki, the chestnut dish, the tacos and the lobster raviolini were alright). Service was alright, our server seemed a bit confused when we asked her pretty standard questions though the food came at a good pace and without issue. Cute vibe, the ground level is great for brunch and and evening vibe (especially on a warm day).

Came here for an early dinner before heading to a show nearby and honestly had the best time. The venue is the perfect balance between cool and cosy with lots of attention to detail re. tableware, fresh flowers, etc. The food was incredible - I'm already a big Greek food fan, but the depth of flavour in the dishes was amazing. I love it when you go to a restaurant and have food that you know you could never recreate at home. Alongside the fabulous food, the wine selection is fab - vast with a nice sway towards a natural/hands off approach. Not to be intimidated by though as the wonderful team were there to assist with recommendations. We felt so well looked after, and I will definitely be heading back soon. Since my dinner last night, I have told about 20 people to run not walk to 1905.

Food was good but nothing special, very few gluten free options which is strange for a greek restaurant. Portions were quite small and overpriced, the meat was very dry (not sure if it’s because the sauce had to be removed to cater for gluten free allergy). I’ve heard a lot of positive reviews from people without allergies but as celiacs we wouldn’t go back.

Meeting up with special friends, went here on a local recommendation, a top tip. Elegant cocktails to start, spicy margarita was a hit. Then the food, oh my what a treat. Attentive service from knowledgable staff will help you make good wine and food pairings, these guys know their stuff. Delicious, tarama roe, a rich fishy delight, elegantly presented with pickled seaweed, tiny green strawberries, fat caper berries, and anchovies. The green pickles cutting delightfully with the creamy roe. Wild greens well presented, lovely char on the batons of courgettes, tasty tomatoes and a sprinkle of umami cheesiness. Mains, favourites were sea bass , chicken fricasee and the Cretan wedding pilaf, a mighty dish. Completely stuffed we had no room for dessert. Attentive staff paced the arrival of dishes well for our enthusiastic social, letting us have a good time together whilst never going without some tasty morsel. Not cheap eats, but worth every penny, good value for such tasty dishes. Thank you all at 1905 for a delightful evening.

Some dishes are delicious, like the lamb and chicken stew, was close to michelin star restaurant, others are overambitious; lamb rack, for example, too many elements that were not tied together by a sauce; potato croquett has nothing to do with the dish. The staff are very nice and polite, top marks, the music is not right for the ambiance and volume should be lower.

Disappointed to write this as was recommended this by a colleague and it had a history of good reviews but was a total let down. 8 of us met for our annual pre Christmas evening meal - we always try somewhere independent around Soho so a cosy neighbourhood Greek restaurant should fit the bill. It did not. The service was shocking with one of the team (older guy) openly hostile (when not on his phone at the bar). I arrived solo and waited 10 mins before asking if I could perhaps order a drink only to be snapped at ‘I will be with you in a minute’ (the restaurant had like 3 other tables) and then it was the same once the rest of my party arrived. They were out of pretty much half the wine menu but rather than make constructive suggestions to similarly priced alternatives, tried to upsell us bottles that costed £20/30 more. The food - it was delicious but again they’d run out of a few things (make it clear when handing out the menus / utilise a chalkboard??) and we did have to return my main as it was lukewarm (and then took another 10 minutes to return). As were a few other dishes but the girls didn’t want to complain. Given service with a smile seemed to be a foreign concept and the menu was so restricted because of shortages and we just weren’t having that great an experience, at dessert time we decided to instead just call in at evening and head for a nightcap at a pub nearby. Given it was Christmas and despite the bill being around £600 we still tipped but in retrospect I wish we hadn’t given the rude & coldness of the two male staff members. Do better.
