Attica, in Islington

We dropped by on a Saturday night around 6.30pm on the off chance they could squeeze us in, which they (almost begrudgingly) did, but no worries, we promised we’d be out by 7.30 for their 8pm booking. They took some time to bring us the menu (odd, since they wanted us out quickly) however eventually did so and we chose food (moussaka and lamb souvlaki, both to be served with a side salad and the souvlaki with bread) and wine. The wines were great. My moussaka was really good, if a bit on the only-just warm side. My husband’s lamb was terrible. The six or seven pieces on the skewer were almost black, and so so tough. The side salad we both had on our plates consisted of a lettuce leaf with some corn kernels and a sliced cherry tomato or two, and was pretty sad to be honest. His side of bread was great. We eat lamb regularly, including as souvlaki, and do know the difference. However he persisted with it, as we were tired and mindful that everywhere else in the area was packed. When paying, my husband mentioned the toughness of the lamb and the waiter was surprised, said it had been cooking for hours (clearly!) and that nobody else had complained (maybe nobody else ordered it?). Were they annoyed we’d just walked in? Who knows. It sure seemed that way and the food reflected that.

One of the best Greek restaurants I've been to anywhere and possibly one of the best restaurants in London. Food is fresh and delicious and while not the cheapest not horribly expensive for London either. Worth the trip out to Exmouth market.

This has a lovely friendly neighbourhood restaurant feel. The food is fresh and delicious and beautifully presented. Great value too

Visited with a friend after work, we arrived early and had the restaurant to ourselves for well over an hour. Service was friendly, attentive, quick. Food was absolutely delicious. We had the halloumi and meat meze. My only regret was not having enough room for dessert.

Now under new management, Attica should not to be confused with Kolossi, the Greek restaurant that used to be on this site. It is now under completely new management and I believe the proprietor is from Athens. This is the second time I have been there and, yet again, the food was all delicious. There were three of us, so we went for the Souvlaki meze plus one extra main course dish (Kleftiko). I can't praise the food enough. We had a friend with us who didn't really know Greek food and he was amazed at how delicious it all was, clearing every plate that came to the table. I can't now remember the name of the white wine we ordered, but that too was excellent. Service was just right, friendly but not too obtrusive. Highly recommended.

Best Greek restaurant in london that I have been to. Food amazing, staff excellent, decor really inviting. Had halloumi and the special recommended meatballs for starter, which were both out of this world. Best meatballs I think I have ever had, so fresh and fragrant. Prawn souvlaki for main which was just an absolute treat to eat, fresh prawns, good size, perfectly cooked. Greek wine on the menu to wash it all down! Really couldn’t recommend this place enough, I will be returning!

Amazingly delicious! Everything! Fish, shrimp and Greek salad were so fresh and well prepared! Can’t wait to go back

We've just had an excellent pre-theatre evening meal at Attica, and are so glad we chose it. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the food was delicious - authentic and unpretentious Greek cooking. We can absolutely recommend the black olives and flatbreads, and the king prawn with feta, ouzo and tomatoes (starters) and the pork souvlaki (mains). The red house wine was good too. I wish we had had room for dessert! We will eat there every time we go to the theatre nearby from now on.

I was introduced to this restaurant on a visit to London. It has I believe just opened and was very busy. The food was excellent andwe had the Mezza for two. It was delicious and more than we could eat. Service was good and friendly if slightly chaotic. Well worth a visit
