Lemonia Greek in Camden

Horrible services, do not come here

Very very expensive for tiny portions (£8 for taramasalata which doesn’t come with bread…..that’s extra!) £25 for a lamb kebab that comes with no salad. £25 for only 3 pieces of sheftalia. Wouldn’t have minded if the food was good but it was quite bland, hardly any flavours. Took an hour for our mains to arrive. Wouldn’t recommend, lots better out there.

Excellent Greek cuisine in a “taverna” atmosphere. The slow-cooked lamb dishes are succulent.

Had a lovely meal at Lemonia today. Such tasty food ....👌🤗

The food is okay but not as good as I remember. Very friendly, helpful, spacious. Wine was outstanding!

food is very authentic and the staff are very welcoming! it was nice to see that everyone who worked there was greek, it really felt like home! the prices are a little high, but it was definitely worth it.

I’ll have to go back to check if it was as good as the previous times. The Greek taverna atmosphere : great ! The service : really good attention to detail and smile. The food : the best for Greek Mediterranean cuisine. Forget the lemons and come to this sweet delicious restaurant to have a great time with your loved ones ! Thank you.

A beautiful atmosphere. The service and the food is impeccable. As being half-Greek, I enjoyed nothing more than seeing many dishes on the menu that I remember my Yiayia cooking for me growing up. While I would say it is on the more expensive side, it was truly a lovely experience and my fiancée and I would pay it again.

Always a great option after a visit to Primrose Hill. Real and typical greek restaurant run by a family with a beautiful sunlight in the middle of the main dinning room. Prices are decent and food is great, always a great choice!

SUPERB ALL ROUND. LOVELY PEOPLE, Lovely food. Great environment and location.

Food is very delicious and atmosphere so nice

The place is very good the staff snd tge service is very fast snd friendly. The food is awsome highly recommended.

Amazing staff and lovely food would recommend when visiting the area

Used to be one of our local favs so it was great to return and find the same good Lemonia. Evcaristo!

This is a place you should be at all time. Fantastic …

I absolutely loved the food ,their services are fantastic. Staff are friendly .Will recommend anyone visiting London.

Best place for relaxing and enjoy tasty Greek food, nyam nyam... Nice service all friendly...

I absolutely loved the food here. The service was warm and friendly. The food was fresh and seasonal. I will definitely revisit!

This was a fantastic greek experience. Food was spot on and thoroughly enjoyed it. Great selection for vegetarians.

Very nice place to have dinner with friends and family. “The food and service quality was truly exceptional, I can't wait to come back”

Great resturant with great good love it

First time, I definitely will put this on my favourites list and highly recommended.

Brilliant place and excellent staff and food

Beautiful food and great service

Absolutely fantastic service and great food

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant and I must say it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, with charming Mediterranean decor that instantly transported me to Greece. The staff was friendly and attentive, offering great wine pairing suggestions and ensuring our needs were met throughout the meal. Overall, Athenian Delight delivers an authentic Greek dining experience, and I can’t wait to return for more. Highly recommend it for anyone craving fresh, flavorful Mediterranean cuisine!

Exceptional service, would definitely recommend, definitely going back.

The moment I walked in the staff gave me a warm welcome and made me feel at home, amazing atmosphere with all customers, the food was incredible, will go back again looking forward to having the next dish 💪

Great, food. Great vibe. Will definitely pay a visit again.

Great staff lovely service and a definite revisit and recommendation to freinds and family

Great place to eat. Great atmosphere with excellent service.

Okay food, terrible service. The bread served with the appetisers looked like store-bought. There are tastier options of Greek food in London. Every time our table got cleaned it felt that the waiter was going to kick me. But when you think of it, it does makes you feel in Greece.

Excellent Greek food and the price is reasonable.

Very disappointing. We went for a birthday celebration and felt the food was average/poor - nothing special at all and very expensive for the quality. Portions were mean too. My son and my mother had the prawns of which there were only about 4 and they were lacking in flavour. The roast potatoes were totally unappealing and cold - you only get 3 in a portion. In fact every dish we ordered was disappointing and lacking in flavour. Service was poor - it took 1/2 hour for our waiter to ask us for our order and he was rude and impatient. My parents are in their 80s and have been coming for years and remembered it fondly but our last experience was very different and none of us will go back again. When we arrived no one asked us if we wanted to hang our coats so my 85 year old mother went and found a place to hang hers up as it was too long to go on the back of her chair. At the end of the evening she went to get it but it had been moved and she spent the next 10 minutes trying to find it. She went to another section to look and another very rude waiter just barked at her “there’s nothing for you here - go and ask your waiter”! Unbelievable! Our waiter was useless of course since he didn’t take it in the first place - didn’t have the manners to ask if she wanted it hung up. There are so many far better restaurants and with so much competition it’s an incredible that Lemonia think they can rest on their laurels from the past.

All good, Been here many many times and each time the standard is consistently good. It gets better each time. Prices have gone up considerably but the food is so fresh and good quality nut is worth it!

Lovely busy Greek restaurant with the usual fair expected. No surprises but food excellent. Slightly dated interior still makes for a pleasant lunchtime experience.

One of the best restaurants I've been to.

Small portions, overpriced, nothing amazing about the food.

The prices suggest something quite special but unfortunately it didn’t even meet school dinner requirements. It was in anticipation that I brought my Father into Lemonia’s lovely atmosphere to say thankyou to him. They may need to raise their game in order for me to return. We said we were disappointed but it was received with a shrug. Maybe they just had an off night or maybe they’ve been resting on their laurels for all this time. Very disappointed!

Very authentic greek food. Tasty!

Great cozy homey atmosphere and yummy food

Have been going to Lamonia for 30 years and recently went after a break of 2 years not going and was so disappointed. The food was terrible :( The vegetarian option of skewers were tastless and meagre and the salad was awful - it was like I was eating at a different restaurant. Won't return again sadly

I hate writing bad reviews, but, honestly, I would be angry if this food was served to me at a local kebab just before closing time on a Friday. My partner is vegetarian and the halloumi kebab she had was about as appetising as a funeral. We pointed this out to the waiter (older, so part of the family that run it) and he just shrugged and took the mostly-uneaten food away. Oh - and the salad! It didn't even cross our minds to try it, it was so plain. Honestly, it's like they were just phoning in the food. My partner said her family had been coming for decades - literally - but was mortified by how bad it was. It was my first and last visit.

The Lunch menu is stunning! Less than 20 for a 3 course lunch, food is delish, and service is just perfect. All recommendations

We've heard much about this place over years so excited to get there finally. Unfortunately found all dishes quite mediocre , not a patch on normal taverna food or home restaurants in Greece,,Cyprus, Poland or UK. Perhaps a different chef for lunchtimes but at their prices not worth trying again and being disappointed! Service friendly and good banter with different staff and location easy to park otherwise back to North London for our Greek meals!

Over priced. And I have seen many other typical greek restaurant much better in terms of taste and cheaper. I always wanted to visit here and booked a table over the phone yesterday and request a dessert with a simple candle to celebrate our anniversary, the booking taken by the lady and noted down. However, no candles or anything with our dessert... I saw in another table they were celebrating a birthday dessert with a candle provided etc... Short stroy long, I think, if you are not their typical customer who frequently visits them, then don't try them, as they wouldn't care much about you, but when it comes to charging, it is over priced completley for what you pay and what you get in quality for food and service. Waiteress are nice i should say, but food and overal service not that good.

Strange don’t get all the amazing reviews; was very average and rather overpriced. Calamari starter looked and tasted like it was out of a frozen supermarket bag and tiny portion. Chicken cubes were bland. Mousakka was nice but not even some complimentary salad leaves on the side.

Limoge, letto al contrario con la L finale suona in lingua anglosassone come: LEGO-EM-AI. Gli antichi piatti si ispiravano al modello Marino delle Capesante? LI-NOMI, è il letto al contrario di Limoni, un albero che probabilmente serviva come stesura familiare genealogia degli Imperatori Romani. Buon appetito!

A really nice, family feel, greek cypriot restaurant. The service is very good and the staff are always very pleasant and helpful. The food is to a high standard. I highly recommend ordering the meze.

Excellent Greek Food (Greek myself), very tasty, don't expect big portions but it's quality over quantity, x

Very expensive. Tiny portions. Minimal effort from the kitchen. Much better options for Greek food nearby. Dont get duped.

great dishes and their size for their price

Quite deservedly one of the best restaurants in London! A long standing success with fabulous quality ingredients every time.

El limón es un lugar tan especial. El personal es muy amable y la comida es sin duda la mejor comida griega en Londres! Es nuestro lugar favorito. Gracias Lemonia, nos vemos pronto!

My daughter, who has severe learning disabilities, and her two fabulous support staff dined this lunchtime. The support staff were appalled at the attitude of the staff at Lemonia. Rolling eyes, mono syllabic and judgemental at our daughter who makes some involuntary noises and needs extra help to eat. Diversity and inclusivity training urgently required before we will subject our daughter and her team to such treatment again.

Authentic Greek restaurant!!! Enjoyed it so much and felt like I was in a different country. Service is impeccable and food is fantastic especially with the meat - they are all so tender! Will definitely recommend and come back again

Visitamos este popular restaurante después de unos años y la calidad de la comida estaba por debajo de la media y los tamaños de las porciones eran embarazosos, con precios muy inflados. Básicamente una estafa total. Nunca más volveré aquí.

Been going here for over 17 years and it's still as good as it was then as it is now! An institution and the best place in the area for delicious family food. Thank you every time!

We had dinner in this restaurant on the evening of December 31st, friendly service and good food, interesting combinations, price a little too high

Very cozy and tasty food really recommended

Amazing family-owned restaurant with a great athmosphere. The 19£ three course menu was amazing with great seafood. Couldn’t recommend more.

Excellent food and very friendly service.

Very good food. Fantastic service and very nice people. It's worth going there. We went there for the New Year and everything was perfect.

Not a 5 star, but the 4 I rated it it's a bit hard. Very tasteful authentic greek dishes, for example saganaki or fish or kleftiko. I visit it over the last 30 years. Miss a star to make it 5 , for two reasons. 1 when you serve 500+ people a day , it is difficult to keep the consistent quality . 2. Over the years the competition has intensify , on the quality and value for money. Probably the Best greek restaurant ,at least in North London.

Food was fine, staff members were nice.

I went with a group. We spent £30 each on the set lunch menu with wine or soft drink each. The portions of food were ok but not over generous. The food I had was fresh and good, not bought-in, mass produced stuff. However, I think a 3 course menu should be that, not 2 courses and a tea/coffee or a dessert.

A very nice Greek restaurant located in Chalk Farm. It's a high-end restaurant and you are looked after very well by the staff. The food was very tasty and prepared quickly, but portions were quite small, and the food is very expensive for what it is. A nice place to go if you can afford it, and I recommend it.

Excellent Greek restaurant with a large menu and all the specialties of the local cuisine

Lovely place! Great food and caring service! Highly recommended!

I had an incredible experience at this Greek restaurant! The food was absolutely authentic and packed with flavor – every dish was a delicious taste of Greece. From the perfectly seasoned lamb to the fresh tzatziki, everything was top-notch. The atmosphere was warm and inviting that made the meal even more special. What really stood out, though, was the service. The staff was incredibly friendly, experienced, and attentive, making us feel like family. They truly went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable experience. Highly recommend this place for anyone craving delicious, authentic Greek cuisine in a welcoming setting!

Delicious food, friendly staff, atmosphere a la taverne.

I forgot how much I loved Greek food until I went in there. The Good News: Wonderful atmosphere (I especially loved the atrium room), great food, attentive service, and spacious. Within easy walking distance of Chalk Farm tube station. The Bad News: Of all the places along this stretch of road that serve olives 🫒 theirs have pits.

Overpriced food and rude service. For those high prices, customers deserve a better service!!!!

Great food and amazing service, we were a large group (22 people) so our table was on the top floor which has less of a character compared to downstairs. I'd recommend the downstairs area for dining as it's more lively and fun. We really enjoyed our dinner thank you!

An institution. Tasty, genuine, value for money mediterranean food.

Wost quality food Waiters intentionally get you confused in order to make you order Meze and charge you huge amounts of money for a third grade food from starter to main. Find yourself a proper Greek restaurant. This one isn't one!

Terrible food, Nothing Greek about it. Expensive. Never again!

Extremely expensive, Mousaka cost £25- really. Not worth, much better Greek places around Even the fish very expensive for what it was . Not wow in terms of presentation

Very testy food , amazingly friendly staff ! Place you always want to come back!

Always so good ..here . Would eat here every day Ambience and food ..great

Go to for a sociable Saturday afternoon lunch

One of the best places I’ve been too

Lovely staff. Very cosy and excellent food served with a simle. One of my fav spots for lunch.

Everything about this restaurant is perfect to a T. The staff were super friendly, giving off a family vibe, almost like being at your grandparents' house. The starters and bread were cozy and homey, too. The stars of the show were definitely the grilled sea bass and moussaka. We ended with cake and coffee. Would highly recommend this place!

10/10. Really authentic Greek food and such a lovely buzzing atmosphere! 🇬🇷

La comida estaba bien, pero nada increíble - no tenga la chuleta de cerdo, ya que son solo tres rebanadas de jamón a la parrilla. El servicio era deficiente... el único que estaba realmente interesado era un viejo que ayudaba a limpiar las placas. Éramos una mesa de precios bajos, así que puede ser que el camarero no era muy interesado en nosotros. Buena ubicación y buena configuración.

Fantástico lugar en Primrose Hill que es una experiencia en sí mismo. La comida estaba bien, pero nada como la comida que experimentamos recientemente en Santorini. Sentado afuera, gran vibra, muy animado.

The best Cypriot food and service for the past 40 years it has been constant over the years thanks to Tony and his friends.

Freshly cooked food, great service

Overhyped and very busy and congested restaurant.. food was alright.. the staff seems to be a bit rude and impatient..

A fantastic restaurant. We had the £39 per person meze menu and the portions are extremely generous. You got a great selection of cold and hot plates, perfect if you can’t decide what you’d like to try. The wine was lovely and service quick and friendly. Extremely fresh flavours and ingredients and lovely atmosphere. I can imagine it would be a great place for a party or a large-ish group.

Whenever I come to London I always try to come to this restaurant. Proper Greek/Cypriot cuisine. The service and food were excellent. I was especially impressed when the waitress came to clear crumbs from each place setting in between courses. I’ve only ever seen that at a Michelin starred restaurant.

Very popular for good reason, but you can’t have a conversation without shouting to the person next to you, let alone anyone else.

This long established restaurant goes from strength to strength. It continous unabated to delver high quaility food and service week in week out hence why we have been regular customers for over 40 years as we love authntic Greek homemade cuisine.

Great service with friendly staff and amazing location. Would definitely recommend 👍🏼

Fabulous lunch, lovely waiter and shout out to the chef who on hearing my daughter hasn’t been well this week shared one of his recipes with me that she particularly enjoyed. Can’t wait to go back!

Had a birthday lunch here. The free starters (olives and carrots) were good but a bit too salty for my liking. The other starters we ordered were great too, especially the spicy feta dip when paired with pita bread. The grilled fish was cooked well, with nice crispy skin and a flaky inside. Tasted fresh too. The service was a bit slow. We had to wait 10-15min to get our bill and had to repeat ourselves a few times. Otherwise it was good - they brought a candle on the Turkish Delights they served.

As others have noted on here, this is a well known establishment which has existed for decades, and is very much dining out on this reputation. I concur with all the reviews about small portions, average food and exorbitant prices. Mezze starters for £8-12, where there is barely enough food for two people. You can get better hummus in the supermarket. Amazingly you have to pay extra for any bread to accompany it. A square of vegetarian moussaka for £25. House wine which is drinkable but very overpriced. The atmosphere was great and the location is unbeatable, but everything else is very much below par. It felt like a place where the owners are trying to sweat the asset as much as possible. You can have much better Turkish/Cypriot/Greek food on Green Lanes for a fraction of the price, with delicious freshly baked bread refilled to your hearts content and much more generous portions. I wish that was where we went!

This popular Greek restaurant is less than 5 minutes' stroll from Primrose Hill. It is always jam-packed on the weekends, and if the weather is good, the alfresco seating is definitely our preferred choice. The interior of the restaurant has great ambience. If you are lucky to have one of the long- serving staff, you get to experience impeccable service that is not commonly found in most restaurants. Our server, Alex, has been in the hospitality business for over 40 years with the last 20 + years working at Lemonia. He was observant, attentive, but never intrusive. An example was when I was squeezing the lemon slice from my starter into my water. He noticed it immediately despite the crowd and came with a plate of sliced lemons for our drinking water. You don't get such service even in a Michelin rated restaurant. We had their set lunch, which is available from Monday to Friday. It is one of the best value for money meals you can find in the neighbourhood. The baked orzo pasta with chicken and feta cheese was excellent. The Kotopoulo Yiouvetsi arrived at the table piping hot, crispy on the outside, and moist and creamy inside. Reservations are recommended, especially on the weekends.

Rather noisy restaurant offering quality dishes. Close to Chalk Farm metro station, in a friendly area.
