Ousia Restaurant in Camden

Without reservation on a Saturday evening, we had little hope that we would find anywhere decent to have dinner. A love of Greek food though encouraged us to take a chance on Ousia, just down the road from where we were staying. We were greeted...

Happy to find such a friendly traditional Greek in C London. Courgettes especially good. Not cheap but to be expected on Charlotte street. Excellent service.

excellent flavors. friendly polite staff. decent prices and easy location off the main tourist streets.

I’ve just had a wonderful Greek meal in this great little find. Traveling as a solo female, I sometimes feel uneasy eating in restaurants alone. But I was made to feel welcome by Dimitri & his staff. Great attention to detail. The food is also...

Very pleased to have found this place on Charlotte Street. Great food, lovely staff and atmosphere, very good value. Highly recommended. Would be back if we were more local.

The atmosphere and the the food was good, but when you receive the bill whitout having asked for it after approx. one hour and then asked to pay 10 min later you leave with the feeling you are object in an industrial process aiming to...

Nice authentic Greek restaurant, very helpful staff and freshly cooked food. Be careful you don't order too much food and try to eat it all😵 Highly recommended

We stumbled on this restaurant today whilst in Fitzrovia. Great central location on Charlotte St. Restaurant modern clean and bright. Service was warm friendly and welcoming and most importantly the food was excellent. Tapas style so they suggest five or six dishes for 2 people...

Great find, we visited on our way back to King Cross from the Dominion Theatre, perfect distance for to stop for lunch or dinner, food was delicious and service was first class, would recommend

First thing that will impress you will be the professional and friendly staff. The second will be the nice and adequately priced food. Overall veri good experience. Thanks Ousia

Lucky for us we stumbled into Ousia asking for a table for 5 looking very sorry for ourselves. We were wet and hungry having walked 15 mins in the rain with luggage, to eat at an alternative nearby gaffe that had assured us we’d be...

I visited here on a Saturday - the staff was so so lovely and accommodating, the food was actually unreal! Sooo yummy!! Reasonable priced too for the standard of the food thought it would be more expensive! Definitely recommend. I came on a solo trip...

the steak (£22) was very flavourless, and the felafels didn't taste of anything either. £60 for a meal for two, so not very good value either.

We booked to go for a second time on Sunday 26th September at 7.30 and received an email from them that afternoon confirming our reservation. Imagine our disappointment when we arrived to find it closed!! Terrible lack of courtesy and if this is an example...

Looked at the restaurant’s website and menu just after 7pm and thought it looked really nice. Booked a table online for 8pm and travelled over but arrived to find the restaurant wasn’t even open. Very disappointing and frankly not good enough!

Brilliant meal and very welcoming. Took the time to explain the specials to us and food was great, would definitely recommend!

We came upon Ousia by chance and have visited many times since. The food is absolutely delicious; the service friendly and easy-going. Highly recommended.

If you want to eat healthy vegan, vegetarian or meat food this is your place. Genuine fresh Greek Cypriot cuisine, like being invited to Cypriot household for dinner!

Really attentive staff, delicious food, we had lots of different plates that we shared, excellent options for vegetarians and meat eaters alike.

Very nice Meze, Baby Kalama particularly nice. Very friendly welcome. Lovely setting. Tarama looked fantastic but needed a kick of something, only a suggestion. Highly recommended.

Andreas the owner welcomes you to delicious Cypriot food. Best visited on an empty stomach and trust the owners recommendations!

Four of us. Lovers of Greek cousine and admirers of good food. We had mezes, cold and hot, veg meat and fish. We ended up with a round of Ouzo and Greek coffee. Everything was good quality properly cooked and served. We were seated outdoor....

We were a party of 4 that came across Ousia by accident. We had a reservation at a newly opened restaurant close by, but for various reasons did not stay to eat in. With many restaurants in the area closed, Ousia was the closest and...

We came in on a Friday night and had absolutely the best time! Everything was amazing, the staff lucus, Costa and kitty! It was personal and had real happy family vibes. I highly recommended a visit you’ll be greeted by the lively character that is...

Fantastic delightful, we stumbled upon this place on a busy Friday night, it was very atmospheric, great service, friendly , attentive, wonderful food - saganaki (best ever), Greek salad, veggie kebabs, beef stiffardo, chicken and pork souvlaki- Sauvignon blanc wine a delight, highly recommend

We wanted a quick lunch and happened upon zoysia by chance. I thought it just perfect. Food delicious, chicken souvlaki cooked to perfection. Great halloumi fries and tzatziki. Good wine and delicious coffee. Piece de resistance was the service, lovely waitress who was keen to...

modern take on traditional Greek menu, sharing plates ;good selection, generous portion sizes,lovely choice of excellent Greek wines some available by the glass, polite helpful waiting staff

Restaurant is fairly plain but cozy and the service very friendly. Ah, but the food! The food was so delicious. As there were three of us I got to try 7-8 dishes from the menu. Everything was so tasty but my favorites was the KEFALOGRAVIERA...

We found this restaurant by chance and were so pleased. Clean, modern decor and friendly service. Dishes are served mezethes/mezze/tapas style and are great for sharing. The small plates/dishes arrive as they are freshly prepared, so don't expect your entire order to arrive at the...

The restaurant serves small plates and recommends 2/3 dishes per person. They are larger in size than tapas and very filling. We ate between us - beef stifado, pastourma, greek salad, oregano topped fries and some dips. All were good and thoroughly recommended.

Having dined at Andreas a couple of times and being very pleased, we looked forward to trying out its successor Ousia. Unfortunately, we were disappointed. I ordered the kleftiko, which was good, but expensive at £15 for a piece of lamb and three small slices...

Nice location and clean restaurant but very basic and disappointing food. The chefs 'specials' were not up to standard.

Great tasting. Great service. I was really most impressed. It's only a relatively simple Greek Cypriot menu, but the flavours were faultless. Really recommended

Excellent food and service. If you love greek food this place is a must. There's a fantastic room room downstairs for private parties.

All the food was of a very good standard and although the restaurant was quite it had a nice atmosphere and the staff were friendly and attentive.

Our first visit was amazing. The quality and quantities of the food were excellent as was the service. Really great value for money

Visited for an evening meal. The staff were attentive and friendly and the food was of a good standard. Relaxed environment, would recommend a visit.

Today Sept, 24 ,2019 I went for lunch. The hummus and olives were good the Sardines ok. The grilled vegetables were covered in balsamic vinegar making them too sweet. Since when is Greek food covered in balsamic?. OK fine, so I decided not to eat...

Enjoyable meze type Greek meal to be found at this welcoming and friendly restaurant. Thankyou, the food was hot and delicious, the service very good.

Went here for lunch we had the pork souvlaki salad and chips we waited around 45 minutes for the meal to arrive we had a glass of over priced wine while we waited the food was tasteless tough and very dry the only thing we...

I used to come here some 25 plus years ago when it was called Andreas - it was a great Greek with linen tablecloths and family service. We always had the meze. Since then it has had a modern make over and the menu has...

Had dinner with a good of university friends at Ousia This is a very stylish and chic place to dine Great idea to have a selection of food to share. The staff are very helpful and professional Loved the little quotes on the wall as...

Served almost like Greek tapas with dips and food as it is ready. This was a lovely venue and excellent food as well as good quality Greek/Cypriot wine. Good value for Charlotte Street and attentive service.

The staff was friendly, the food good but not exceptional. It was overpriced for the quality of food.

We popped in here last night looking for something a bit different, we certainly found it in Ousia. The food is served in a Morden style with let’s say tapas style portions. Everything we had was very fresh and tasty. All the staff were excellent...

We wandered in seeking something other than the Omni-present pub meal. Ousia was perfect. With its Greek/Cypriot menu. Everything is mezze sized. We shared three small plates which was perfect for the two of us. Service was very good, and everything tasted fresh and homemade,...

Warm and friendly The vibe from the staff is great; The food is always great and never disappoints. 10/10 everytime

We went as a couple with another couple and we had a fab time. Food was absolutely delicious, wine was good and the service second to none. Attentive and efficient - staff very friendly and everything they suggested from the specials and main menu was...

Modern small restaurant, relaxed atmosphere. Food was traditional, nice but not exceptional. Service was good, not rushed.

Modern "plastic" decor but with comfortable seating and efficient waiters.Greek Harmony white wine was pleasant. The Melintsalate eggplant dip was our favorite dish; Greek salad and Vegetable courgette on skewers were also good.

Went here for dinner with a friend and was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. Food was good and had a great choice of vegetarian options. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Atmosphere was also great. Would deffo go back to this restaurant

Ate here for the first time on the strength of other reviews Really great meal everything was perfect Highly recommend the Kleftico the crispy squid and the Bakalava House red wine Harmony also really good Great service and we will be back!! Thank you totally...

The food was excellent but we went early evening and decided a later time would be better for atmosphere. We ordered starters which were excellent and then Greek salad sea bream, octopus and chicken souvlakia. The restaurants style is to bring the courses one at...

Went to this restaurant for dinner with my partner. Was underwhelmed to be honest ordered chicken suvlaki which was completely bland, dry and we were unable to finish it because it just was not that pleasant. Special was rib eye steak which was cooked well...

Again they eliminated my food intolerances. The food was excell3ntly prepared and the service was very good. We thought it woukd have been better to book a later start time as the atmosphere improved around 8.30.

The place on Charlotte Street is modest on the outside but on the inside one finds a cosy yet modern restaurant with a very nice twist on traditional Greek dishes. You order smal plates on a shared basis, and it took a mix of Greek...

I have visited this lovely little restaurant twice now, once with a group of six friends and once with just a friend. On the first occasion when there was a group of us, it was a Saturday night and we had not booked but the...

Went for a casual evening meal, the service was great- the staff made me a cocktail that wasn’t on the menu and were very knowledgeable on the wine menu. The food was lovely; I had the steak off the specials menu and the halloumi fries...

Lovely night out, great service from Lucas as well. Never visited a Greek restaurant before and had the owner personally come and recommend several dishes. Loved the monkfish in particular and the venue had been recently refurbished. Can’t recommend it enough. Lighting, sound and atmosphere...

Myself and my family were looking for somewhere to have a casual long lunch in the sunshine and luckily stumbled across this Greek delight! The waiter couldn't have been lovelier and the food was delicious. The recommended wine was one of the best whites by...

Recently re-launched with a very contemporary refurbishment and a modernised menu to match, this restaurant manages to retain it's previous charm, especially through the continued presence of of original maitre'd, Andreas. Always a pleasure to visit for either lunch or dinner, the new staff are...

As a greek person its very hard to find a place to eat in London where the food and atmosphere match that of Greece or Cyprus. Here I genuinely felt that the food was at least as good, if not better than the food I...

If you're in the West End and fancy some traditional Greek food - this is the place to go. The best Greek food I've had in a very very long time, in fact the best I can remember ans very reasonably priced considering it's on...

I went for dinner here with 3 friends. We were looked after very well and enjoyed some great varied dishes. We all had different dietary requirements and the menu definately catered for everyone. I'd definately come again and recommend it for a small group dinner...

My husband and I had lunch today at Ousia and I can honestly say we both enjoyed it immensely. The food was freshly prepared and cooked and was delicious. The wine was a little expensive - rose £7 or £10 a glass but we had...

We chanced upon Ousia while looking for somewhere to lunch on our way across London (to see Paul Simon at Hyde Park, since you ask). How lucky were we! We first stopped because the place was so clean and fresh looking, and had lovely cool...

A Greek restaurant that serves small, tapas-like dishes. All the dishes we ordered were delicious. So was the Greek wine (I had a glass of Retsina, which I hadn't drunk in years, and it was really excellent). The ambience was quiet, the owner was friendly....

A warm welcoming restaurant with beautifully prepared food and excellent service. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

We had a delicious meal at Ousia today. The service was spot on, staff friendly and we haven’t had Greek food this good outside of Greece before. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back.

I took my Greek Cypriot hot date to Ousia hoping to impress her as I’d heard about the amazing food and wine list from a colleague at work. We managed to get a table outside and caught the late afternoon sunshine so with a glass...

Bit suspicious that this place has only 2 reviews. I went and the owner wouldn’t leave us alone, signing Frank Sinatra songs about 5 inches from our table, regaling us with unwanted stories and shouting at people walking past as we dined. Food is good...

I visited the place various times since re-opening and am quite impressed by the revamped interior and authentic menu/food but especially by the service and the greek wine menu. I would recommend the place to anyone who likes authentic greek Food & wines, presented in...

Had dinner with colleagues, not too loud; super friendly and helpful staff, absolutely delicious food, all beautifully presented. Lovely wines too, highly recommended!
