Daphne in Camden

What can I say about this truly amazing restaurant,we came up from Brighton for a show and had a fantastic meal with a really good ambiance I would also need to mention the very friendly welcome which was really genuine a rare thing nowadays Thank you Efharisto

Food was fantastic but the service and atmosphere was even better. My husband spotted the klefthiko after ordering something else and the owner swapped his order. The mezze was gorgeous and we had birthday baklava complete with candle

A lovely intimate Greek restaurant. Where the waiter was so attentive. And suggested what wines to compliment our food, which was delicious from chicken liver starter. And our mains of baby spatcock chicken and Kleftiko Greek lamb with a side our vegetables 😋 Which was absolutely delicious. We're definitely coming back Oh yes! The waiter remembered that it was my friend's birthday and brought out a lemon polenta cake with a candle on top.

Visited Daphne after reading the great reviews and it absolutely did not disappoint. The service was impeccable, attentive but completely unintrusive. Staff were warm, friendly and welcoming. A great menu catering for a broad range of dietary requirements and the food was delicious with generous portions. Really exceeded my expectations and will definitely visit again.

I love the food over there. I’ve got a delicious meal, but was still jealous when I see and smell the plates from other guests. Highly recommended! I’m definitely coming back! Thanks guys for the amazing food!

Highly recommended! One of the best Greek restaurants I have ever been to. A varied menu with several clean/healthy options too. Excellent lentil soup. Casual, cozy atmosphere. A+ all around.

The two wait staff were outstanding! So friendly and professional. Anticipated my every need before I had to ask! Good sense of humor too! We loved our visit. Such a great neighborhood spot with great food too!

Most authentic Greek/Cypriot food I have had in London. Friendly staff and lovely interior.

Fantastic little place with delicious food. The atmosphere is very pleasant, the staff is excellent, and the food is perfect. Highly recommend.

Fresh and beautifully cooked authentic Cypriot cuisine. Very friendly polite service. Can’t fault it in any way . We have been coming here for over 40 years

Lovely and authentic Greek restaurant. Great food and atmosphere.

A little gem in Camden offers genuine homemade Greek/Cypriot food in a small cozy environment!! Well done Nikola and Ms Annastasia! We will definitely be back. Your afelia and rabbit were awesome!

Very pleasant restaurant, friendly service and decent food.

Really good greek food. Small cozy place that's absolutely amazing

Excellent food in a cute authentic restaurant with a beautiful homely atmosphere. The owner comes out and has a chat to everyone which we absolutely loved. Will come again.

You must go to this restaurant! Authentic Greek food with excellent service from Nico (has worked there for 23 years) and his younger counterpart who has grown up there. The food is simple, high quality and delicious. Great ambience and top class service. My husband and I went for dinner and then returned the next night with 2 friends for dinner again it was so good. A great selection of fish dishes. Thanks Nico and the Daphne restaurant family for a very memorable experience while we were in London xx

Small restaurant but quite cozy, indigenous Greek decorating and food! Staffs were amazing, really good service, polite and respectful! Will try again definitely.

My fav neighbourhood restaurant! Great value for the money, everything is fresh and delicious! And those complementary olives, yummm!

Amazing authentic Greek restaurant. Lovely people and great food! Definitely a must book place as it gets full!

Booked late on a Friday afternoon for a meal for 4 at 1800, and we were very lucky to get a table. The restaurant is small, cosy and intimate. The service was warm and friendly, and the food was excellent. Every member of our party really enjoyed the meal.

Amazing! the Meze allows you to try everything. Also the service is impeccable, super friendly

Wonderful and quiet restaurant, short walk from Camden Market (5 min). Perfect place to have a break!!

One of the greatest Greek restaurants around !

Great Greek restaurant. Really good services, great food, and the waiters add a lot of value to the experience.

Fabulous lunch today x great food x wonderful atmosphere and amazing value for money x Thankyou so much xx

Such a great find! Staff are so attentive, and the food was so good. Can't wait to go back.

Booked this restaurant after reading good reviews on TripAdvisor and we were not disappointed.   Despite being a small restaurant it felt very roomy and had a lot of character.  The waiter was really helpful.  My husband had the braised rabbit and I had the vegetarian moussaka both of which were gorgeous. Very reasonably priced for a three course meal, coffee and wine.

Some places you feel have no room for improvement as they are pretty good. Daphne is not the case. Our favorite restaurant that we didnt visit for some time. The food is much much better and the service warmer than ever. That place indeed feels a home away from home. Our favorites are: Octopus Spanakopita Tirokafteri Kouneli Mousaka Ravani And extra favourites Nikolas and Nikos Thank you 🙏

Very nice small family restaurant. Had cold meze starter and Moussaka main. Staff were very attentive.

Daphne is not a large restaurant, but if you manage to get a table you will be delighted by the food and the service. Everything we tried was super tasty. Recommended.

Every visit to London First class,

Came here on my way to a concert and will definitely be back. Everything about this place was superb, food and service top class and really good value. Will be back

Fabulous food , Fabulous staff ! What more would you want ?

Amazing restaurant in camden and in London!! One of the best restaurants I've been to in London. It's a must visit. The lamb and the rabbit are amazing and the roast potatoes are amazing. Staff are very nice and atmosphere is top as well.

Perfect restaurant!! The best "Kleftiko" we have ever eaten!! The service is perfect from every side!! The owner, moreover, served us immediately even though we had not booked a table!!

What a gem , 1st time visiting and will definitely visit again when in London . Myself and my son turned up without a reservation, but the we wasn't disappointed they managed to fit us in . The service was fabulous and the food was amazing , I will be talking about it for a very long time .

Incredible address. Delicious plates, warm and friendly service. An institution to visit.

What a delightful little family run restaurant, friendly service, excellent food, we will return :)

Fabulous venue, great staff with excellent menu with so many lovely dishes, have now tried most now but the Kleftiko is my favourite.

We have visited Daphne restaurant many times over the past thirty years. We have often had their delicious freshly-cooked meze but most recently had their great value, two-course lunch menu which was superb. The food is outstanding, the service is warm and welcoming. The quietly-played Cypriot music and old photos help to create a great ambiance. We were lucky to get a table as it is a small restaurant (many tables were already taken), so I would recommend booking. A short walk from Camden Town tube. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in London.

Excellent family run taverna serving authentic village style Greek food.

Came here for a team dinner recently and it was very good food and service would recommend

The best mousaka!! Tried mousaka in Greece and Cyprus and nothing comes close to Daphne’s also they are so friendly

Great family-run Greek Cypriot restaurant tucked away in the backstreets of Camden that's retained its charm in the face of a wave of gentrification. I grew up in NW London and Daphne and Tsiakkos & Charcoal in Maida Vale stand shoulders above any Greek chain imitators. Also loved taking my baby son along for the first time - I'm sure he'll be tasting his first taramasalata and moussaka on the next visit.

absolutely fantastic. they sat my cousin and i down with no reservations, everything we ordered was fresh and delicious. the staff was kind and informative. will be coming back and highly recommend to everyone

A gem in Camden. Fresh seafood and a lovely wine

We were going to Andy’s Taverna across the road, now it was Monday at 2pm so understandably it was quiet but it was completely empty and looked closed or at least the lights in the seating area were off so we came to Daphnes instead. It was full except for the table we got, great atmosphere with regulars by the sounds of it. The staff were very professional and friendly, we went with the course for 2 which I highly recommend if you want to try a bit of everything. The Nemea wine was also a great recommendation from our waiter, I think his name was Mykos. Very authentic Greek-Cypriot cuisine, definitely will visit again if we’re in the area, loved the wholesome family vibes inside.

WOW what a memorable meal. Was recommended by a Greek/Cypriot friend and i’m so glad we finally came here to try it. The team were so warm and friendly- Greek hospitality! And the food was absolutely divine, such fresh and tasty seafood. Standout dishes were Taramasalata, Feta dip, Octopus, Grilled Calamari, Meatballs and the potato side dish. I can’t wait to come here again!

The food here is incredibly tasty and the service is 11/10 - highly recommend! I’ve been here twice now and have been blown away by the hospitality and amazing food served at Daphne Restaurant. I had the lamb with the side of roasted potatoes (I can’t remember the actual name of the dish-sorry) and the lamb was very well seasoned and tender. The atmosphere here is very nice too, it’s an intimate restaurant perfect for a small family dinner and special occasions too. I can’t wait to come back!

Visited after the many fantastic reviews and wasn’t disappointed. I hadn’t booked but was on my own due to work. They managed to find me a table in the window despite being very busy on a Tuesday night. Waiters were attentive but not too pushy, food was delicious and price excellent. I started with the Skordalia, a garlic potato dip with perfectly cooked aubergine. I could have eaten that all evening. For main I went with Beef Stifado which was so tender and accompanied by perfectly cooked potato’s, crisp on the outside and soft all the way through. I can’t recall the name of the Greek red wine I had but it was AOC and a brilliant match. I wish I had space for dessert but sadly not. Amazing food, really nice staff and a wonderful atmosphere.

Daphne's is such a lovely restaurant. All the staff members are charming and the food is fantastic. It's great to see this independent restaurant going strong, long may it last. Incredibly great value as well!

Lovely restaurant! The staff were so lovely and the food was so delicious. It was a fairly small space but it added to the warm and cosy atmosphere. I cannot stop raving how good the food was!!! Definitely going to be coming back again

Going there for years , authentic Greek Cypriot cuisine, even black eyed beans it is on the menu. Meze it is always the best choice if you haven't eaten for 2 days, but my favourite fried calf's liver

Great Greek food, very friendly customer service. I recommend the eggplant hummus and the mousaka, extraordinary with its hint of cinnamon. Super well made Greek coffee. The restaurant is small but very very nice...

Omg, a Greek restaurant with real Greeks! Not white, ginger-beard hipsters! Hurray! The staff were fantastic, really friendly and accommodating and made sure to keep the door closed when customers would annoyingly not close it properly! We were greeted with a plate of delicious black olives, we ordered a bottle of house red wine (very yummy) and tap water for our group of 3. I ordered a starter of feta cheese, olive oil and chilli but sorry to say it wasn't quite spicy enough for me but I shouldn't expect Malaysian-level spice to be honest. It was yummy and went well with the toasted bread provided by the restaurant. I had the Moussaka, which came with cheese, not sure why, but it was delicious, the spices really made it, lots of cinnamon and nutmeg, so hearty in this horrible cold weather outside. Lovely crisp bits too, which are my favourite. The picture of the round plate is the Moussaka, my mum had the Kleftiko (lamb), also very yummy, and my dad had Rabbit stew, just the right amount of gaminess flavour, amazingly rich! As I said, the service was great, the waiter had a wonderful authentic Greek accent, very holistic and personal in his care, taking our jackets and storing them for us, as well as my walking aid. Lots of personality and charm. I only have 4 stars because the people behind us were loud but it's fine, it was cosy and I have no complaints.

I am Cypriot and have been to many Cypriot restaurants, I can say, this is the best! Had octopus, sheftalia, loukanika and Zucchini for sides and as mains we had kleftiko, moussaka and Sea Bass. All the dishes were amazing! Lovely ambiance, great service and sensational food!

Get the papas fritas and the burratta! Amazing!

I had a splendid luncheon today, with my 3 Cousins. First class - I couldn’t fault it. Thank you Nicholas 🦊

Fantastic place to visit, great food and the best service possible, i go here quite regularly as do many others, best to book or you will be disappointed.

Loved it! A small restaurant with lovely staff and amazing food

Excellent Greek Cuisine! Thanks 👍

The food is great value, the set lunch is a fantastic bargain. I would recommend the taramasalata and sea bass with potatoes. The service is so friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is relaxed, no sense of being hurried. I will be back.

Cosy small restaurant, serving authentic Greek food. We decided to have a pre-concert dinner here, before a show at the nearby Jazz Cafe. We were greeted by a charming waiter who took our coats and showed us to our table. He patiently described to us all the dishes listed on the blackboard and took our drinks order. The house red wine came quickly and was very nice. We ordered two warm starters from the blackboard (grilled halloumi in an olive oil, capers and lemon dressing, plus a sort of stew with artichoke hearts, carrots, peas, celery). For mains, we had lamb souvlaki with chips and lamb stifado with roast potatoes, and a Greek salad to share. All the dishes were home made and tasted delicious. Highly recommended and suggest to book in advance, as the place filled up in no time.

Absolutely amazing food I never eat like this portion are so big and food are delicious I came for lunch prices unbelievable 2 course set menu only £12.50 KALIMERA

A lovely intimate restaurant serving traditional Greek Cypriot food. Always served with smiles and traditional hospitality. We particularly like to go at lunchtime if we can and my favourite is the meat moussaka, and my husband loves the afelia with it's flavours of red wine and herbs with the pork. We will be back.

Una gran experiencia. El personal muy amable y la comida muy rica.

The welcome and service were excellent, with explanations of the Greek dishes. Our fish dishes with rice and salad were tasty and well cooked. We had simply starters and coffee, no wine and paid £65 without service. Good value in a friendly atmosphere.

Great food, super fresh. And very friendly staff. Check this place out.

My daughter took me to Daphnes to celebrate my birthday, it must be over ten years since I last visited.. There has been some changes to the restaurant since my last visit it is more compact with the kitchen now downstairs.We enjoyed prawns saganaki, spanakopitta, vegetable moussaka, kleftiko and Greek salad accompanied by a bottle of Pinot Grigio one of the best Greek meals I have had in a long time, staff were welcoming and friendly. I would recommend this restaurant and hope to be back sometime soon

Our dinner at Daphne Restaurant was a highlight in our London visit. Really special food with a great ambiance. Highly recommend!

Fantastic place! Very charming and great food

The most delicious home cooked food alongside the warmest hospitality. My only complaint is that’s it’s taken 20 years of London living to discover this absolute gem of a restaurant

Very good Greek food, homey taste and kind service. We really enjoyed our dinner here!

☆Highly recommended☆ Absolute gem in the heart of Camden. Great service and lovely friendly staff. It seemed as if we had been invited to their house in Cyprus! Beautifully cooked and presented food. Will definitely visit again. 😊

A restaurant you will go back and invite your friends with

Best Cypriot restaurant in London - delicious food at a great price and a fantastic family-run restaurant with lovely service

Thank you to the staff at Daphne’s for a cosy dinner with delicious Greek food. Waiters took our coats, explained to specials to us. We were not rushed, so much time to talk and eat. Good place for old friends. Tasteful and beautiful restaurant too with a two page menu (perfect size) and small open kitchen.

好友嚴選！倫敦美食之希臘餐廳～ 每道餐點都好讚！ 老闆娘超親切！ 值得再訪😋😋😋

Fantastic, quality, traditional service. Quality food and very delicious in a small cosy environment. Will be back again.

Just lovely. So friendly and amazing food. Have to book though as its busy and quite small

What a find .. lovely family run restaurant. Food was delicious 😋 impeccable service. Great night had. Will certainly come again

Stumbled upon Daphne just off the busy streets of Camden. What a wonderful surprise. The owners were delightful and helped us to select our wine and main courses. Everything was delicious and not outrageous expensive. Highly recommend!

I just passed by and wanted to give it a try. After all, the price of the set lunch is very reasonable. I’m so glad that I made this decision cuz the food is just amazing! I order the mixed dip for starters and Afelia as a main. Just check the third picture out and you will see how much I like the Afelia! I was hesitating about the menu, and an old lady came to me and explained everything, super friendly. Will definitely come back again soon!

Really fancied some Greek cuisine whilst in London and heard great things about here. We walked up and the restaurant was busy they told us a table would be available in half an hour or so we went for a drink nearby and came back and were immediately seated upon our return. We ordered some white wine which was really tasty and we were given some breads to go with our starters. We opted for the greek sausages and a halloumi special which had a delightful sauce with capers in it. For main I had the seabass special which was probably the best fish i've ever eaten with lovely crispy roast potatoes. My girlfriend had the veg moussaka which was top tier. The staff are super friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend coming here so much so I'm considering popping down to London so I can go again.

Restaurante pequeño "cercano" a la zona de Candem Town. Menú del día asequible, no es fácil encontrarlos y tenía pescado! pero del bueno....encantados con la atención por parte del camarero y dueña que nos atendieron. Menú del día y comida sana, que se echaban de menos

Great value for money. Good food, nice service and wide choices!

Set lunch is very delicious and certainly great value for money. The owner and her assistant are very friendly, making us feel very welcome. Highly recommended to anyone who likes Greek cuisine.

Nicholas and his parents have a wonderful restaurant here. I would come back often!

This is a real hidden gem of a place in the centre of Camden Town. It was recommended to us a few weeks ago and we have been back every week ever since! That speaks for itself. The set menu of a 2 course meal for £12.50 is amazing value. As soon as we are seated, a lovely plate of Greek olives are placed on the table and we usually go for a Greek starter and follow on with the sea-bass fillet that comes with a choice of vegetables , we like a portion of home cooked 'fat' chips and an enormous mixed salad. Highly recommended.

Delicious food. Great staff and service

Oh boy, are you in for a treat! A real Greek restaurant with a most delightful family running the place. The price well I feel a little guilty... the food was so fresh and tasty and in ample portions. Nicholas was an outstanding host, waiter, and, just as I thought, his family has owned the restaurant since 1984.

Es la primera vez que probamos la comida griega y nos ha encantado. La comida estaba deliciosa. Tanto el camarero como la jefa han sido amables y muy simpáticos. Muy recomendable ☺️

The food was really good, I ordered the beef stifado and it was phenomenal. They have great gluten free options and even gluten free pita. The waiter was really friendly and explained all the dishes for us. Highly recommend

This restaurant experience reinstated my faith in the penny pinching port quality post Covid restaurant industry! So happy to finally write a glorious review. Fantastic varied old school menu. The ingredients are fresh and excellent quality … just look at the olive oil they serve on the table and you will get it !!! Each dish was fantastic and specials were indeed super special I highly recommend this owner operated restaurant that has been around for decades. Kind and loving service too ! What a treat ….

Un restaurante donde la comida griega es exquisita y el servicio inmejorable. Siempre que vamos a Londres vamos a comer y cenar por lo menos tres veces para probar todos los platos que nos encantan. Además los dueños y el personal son muy atentos y agradables.

Food was very tasty. Service very friendly. Also lovely ambience. However in this day and age, other options of milk (besides full fat cow's milk) should be available for the tea and coffee. At the very least, semi skimmed or skimmed milk. I cannot tolerate full fat milk and many others are the same. If it weren't for this they would have received 5 stars

Tasty food, quick service we will be back again

Excellent food. Delightful service and the whole ambience could not be warmer or more welcoming. We love this restaurant. Do book as it is quite compact.

Lovely little restaurant; the set menu is very good value, the food was delicious. The staff was very friendly and genuine, which is rare to find in London!

Pequeño restaurante griego con comida auténtica y servicio muy amable. Menú (entrante y plato principal) por 12,50 £. Muy recomendable, volvería.
