Nineteen-O-Five in City of London, Westminster

During our visit, my friend and I chose the Tasting Menu, which looked promising—and it didn’t disappoint. Lunch began with a complimentary taramosalata amuse-bouche, followed by a moist and flavourful potato confit with crab starter. A small plant pot was then placed on our table, which initially puzzled us, but we soon discovered a delightful Greek salad hidden beneath what looked like soil (dry barley rusk I believe). For the mains, we enjoyed a plate of skioufixta (Cretan pasta) with a rich red game sauce topped with cheese, alongside a tender piece of tsigariasto lamb, slowly cooked with oregano and wine, and served with onions and new potatoes. The entire meal was absolutely delicious, complemented by discreet yet attentive service. Well done. However, a minor note: while we’re all familiar with Aesop’s premium hand soaps, refilling these bottles with cheap hand wash comes across as a bit tacky.

Everything was great! I will definitely come back again!

Great wine selection. Did not eat but had a bottle of puglian wine - delicious. They gave some dried corn and seeds as a bar snack. Very tasty. Seemed a charming local wine bar based on food from Crete.

Wouldn’t recommend at all. Few days ago, I’ve had dinner and this restaurant definitely wouldn’t be one of my go-to places in the future. First of all, the food. There was no taste whatsoever. I’ve visited Greece numerous times and I am sorry to say but this menu is not even close to being inspired from Greece. The prices were relatively high in comparison to the usual taking into account that this restaurant can’t be classified into the list of fine and dine high end restaurants. Secondly, the service. One of the waiters was very nice but another one seemed to be on some medications or illegal substances as he was literally laughing all the time when he was approaching us and trust me not in a friendly/well-mannered way. Overall, I think the place is not worth the hype and it’s very overpriced of what it actually has to offer.

Everything was super good, the waiters were super friendly.

Very nice place, very friendly waiters We will come back with pleasure

Excellent home made pasta/spaghetti and everything made fresh. Lovely quality food, maybe a few dishes a bit too rich for me with one too many ingredients (usually cheese) perhaps but I recommend it. A personal touch to the service too

Wow, excellent restaurant. The food was so amazing and authentic that it made me wonder how is this place not more well-known and packed. It must be lack of marketing from their side, but, nonetheless it was an amazing experience for us. Definitely try the gamopilafo (authentic risotto-style lamb-chicken dish they make in Crete). Great selection of natural wines too.

Fantastic place. As good as The Times review says it is!

it is a lovely place. we went there to celebrate our work event, everything that we tried was yummy, drinks were very fresh and tasty. restaurant staff member were very friendly and helpful. definitely recommend it

The service and the food was excellent, my waiter was Tasos, he made me very good recommendations. I hope to return soon!!

very judgmental staff member, when me and my partner asked for water to start she gave us an awfully judgmental look so we left, awful service

Had no idea greek wines could be so good, the ones from the glass menu were bodied and really smooth. The food was very tasty, there was this salad with sea fennel - amazing - and the snails were such a tasty experience. Staff was lovely. If around the area, that’s a safe spot to go to

Varied and interesting Cretan menu with some old favourites, well executed, and some innovative dishes. The tacos and boureki were both delicious and the amphora retsina from Domaine Apostolidis was very good indeed.

A really lovely restaurant. The food is distinctive, interesting and delicious and the waiters are friendly and knowledgeable about the food and wine. Very good ingredients and some interesting twists on Greek food, plus some dishes I'd never encountered before. Will definitely return and I hope it does well, it's good to see an independent restaurant doing something different

Secret little gem. Loved this place. Staff adorable and attentive. Keep away from the big restaurant and come here. Food delicious and cocktails amazing .

Fantastic attitude. Welcoming gentleman. Great cocktails and nice bread and olives. Attention to detail. Interesting exoerience
