Going Greek Holloway 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.

Fabulous takeaway Greek cooked to perfection. Me and me husband shared a souvlaki box with Tsatsiki and Greek salad. Everything was fresh and tasty and really good value for money. You can also eat in and bring your own wine!

posto carino, si mangia bene, il personale e' molto simpatico e attento e la compagnia gradevole. Niente da criticare

I not only work in the area over 23 year but frequent the pub since current management took over. It's changed for the better, believe me. While big screens may attract the odd idiot or two on football night, there's nothing to fear and indeed, management and staff act swiftly to ensure customers are happy and enjoying themselves. It's a sad day when some touch-me-not with a hidden agenda, besmirches the otherwise good name of the owners, locals, visitors and pub.

En conjunto, este lugar parece la parte. Una gran mesa de pasteles surtidos te saluda al entrar. Y el Orange obligatoria máquina aprieta y máquina de café italiano da una sensación de confort de café. Pero este es el lugar donde la ilusión termina.
