My friend and I went for a lovely Greek meal earlier this week at Sapphos. The food was delicious and fresh and there was plenty of choice. We both opted for souvlaki wraps - halloumi and chicken. They were both very tasty and filling and came with flavoursome sauce and chips. We started with some delicious garlicy olives and humous - so good ! Finally, as we were both having water instead of wine (definitely wine next time), we went for two deserts to share - a large very sweet baklava and (a recommendation) a traditional Greek orange cake in a sweet sauce! Both very good Staff were lovely and very friendly. We also loved the ambience and decor! Recommend :)

After reading so many good reviews online I decided to give it a try took my 2 little grandsons and partner there after pantomime in the afternoon. The service was warm and polite. Myself and grandsons had meat balls and rice or chips the meat balls were very salty rice was under cooked and lukewarm, My partner ordered kebabs rice and salad the meat was very dried stick to the skewers poor guy had to run to bathroom several times afterward. Wrose experience ever after many years of eating out. Not because my little grandsons had to be home as it was getting late i would have returned all the foods back and walked out

First up- the food is lovely (except the tasteless houmous). The prices have gone up again. I've been a regular here and bought friends here. The owner is notably eccentric but he was downright insulting to my friend. The owner tends to talk up the health benefits of the salad while serving it. My friend doesn't drink and while doing this he told he she should stop drinking Sprite because so she would lose weight. Our friend had asked him not to comment but he continued and she was quite upset.The owner has no right to comment on choices of paying customers this way, nor to make insulting comments about women's bodies like this.He completely ruined our night and I won't be bringing anyone back here.

Este pequeño café sin lujos está convenientemente ubicado cerca de la estación de metro North Clapham. No había menú ni carta de vinos, solo una selección de carnes, vegetariana o vegana. Los platos meze estaban bien presentados y ofrecen algunos sabores excelentes. Los platos son servidos por un camarero al que le gusta dar un poco de información sobre cada uno de los platos presentados. La carne, verdura o meze vegano se cobran a 13. 50. Aunque este es un buen precio, cuando dos personas comen, por ejemplo, el costo es de 27. 00 - pero las porciones compartidas entre dos personas no son mucho. Es poco probable que los clientes que están en el lado hambriento queden impresionados con el tamaño de la porción. También me decepcionó un poco la falta de ofertas de pescado como parte del meze. En general, hubiera preferido pagar más y haber tenido un meze más sustancial y variado. El café griego estaba disponible a un costo adicional, pero, lamentablemente, no hay Baklava. Varios vinos griegos también están disponibles a un costo razonable. Se agregó un cargo por servicio del 10% a la factura. Aunque esto debió haber llamado la atención del cliente antes y podría haber discutido el tema o simplemente negarme a pagar, me sentía un poco caritativo y lo pagué en esta ocasión.

I was looking for a nice authentic Greek restaurant to go to dinner for a special occasion. After reading a few positive reviews I chose Sappho Meze Bar but I have to say I was very disappointed. The restaurant is quite shabby and dark but I didn't want this to put me off. There is no printed menu, just a set menu (with a vegetarian option thankfully) at a set price. I didn't want to be put off by this either. However, we had an unfortunate incident with one of the dishes and the response to this was simply an apology. Overall, in my opinion the service was sub-standard, the food was below average compared to other Greek restaurants in London and, although they say they keep their prices low, the bill was definitely not cheaper than other mid-range places. They even added service charge in spite of the food incident we had. I would not go there again and I am sorry to say that I would not recommend this place.

No creo que pueda expresar con palabras cuan buena una experiencia que tuvimos aquí. El menú es fijo, el dueño te pregunta si hay algo que no te gusta o comer y luego saca los platos. Es mucho como si un huésped en su casa. Cuatro campos por £13. 50 por cabeza es una ganga en cualquier lugar, sobre todo en Londres y las bebidas están a un precio muy razonable. Necesitas ir aquí abierto a lo que dan dado tratando (todo es increíblemente bueno) y lo pasarás genial.

Best recommendation ever.We were treated like family the owner/ chef made sure that we ate like Greeks bringing us the most delicious homemade hummus, tzadzki, pickles taramasalata and the freshest homemade bread.The mains were just like we were in a taverna on the mainland melting lamb, succulent chicken and salad freshly made, mine minus coriander, our vegetarian was catered for with a huge portion of vegetable mousaka made freshly for him.The service was quick and attentive even though the tiny restaurant was full and it was just the chef/owner and a kitchen hand.The evening reminded me of summer evenings with my Yaya & Papou in our second home in Athens. Food, family, wine & chat.I can't recommend Sappho Meze highly enough. Next time we are visiting London we will be back.A must for hungry travellers and families who want good honest fresh food.The homemade yogurt is the best I've had in the UK.

You know when you're craving fresh, homemade exotic food that's followed recipes for generations? Yeah, well this is like you've been taken into someone's rustic Mediterranean hillside villa and they're serving you food until you can't move.The value is exceptional and the quantity of food is astounding. It's all fresh and homemade. You order one of three options: meat, vegetarian or vegan. We almost always opt for the meat one which includes a light chickpea soup broth, a pickled vegetable plate. This is followed by beautiful warm crusty bread with about a dozen different dips and antipasto options. Be careful not to fill up on this!Next is a selection of chicken cooked in a fragrant oil marinade, pork pieces, and the mighty dish of them all: slow cooked lamb that falls off the bone. This generous meat selection is accompanied by a rice dish and one or two salad dishes.If you're still not full (you will be) there is a plate of Greek yoghurt and honey to force down. We always roll out of this place but are always 100% content with the quality and flavours of the food. We've taken a number of different groups here who have all raved about the food.Don't expect an exquisite decor but I think it adds to the charm.I really love this place and it's one of my favourite places to dine out in London.

It's one of our neighborhood faves. The proprietor comes out and has chats to you about how healthy he is because he eats this food. He's 70! and cooks all the food and waiters to boot. It's a quirky little place and the food is decently good- a few of the mezes are outstanding and the vege mousakka is very good. Everything is very homemade and tasty, and you can't beat a dinner for two with drinks for under 40.

Have to say I agree with the small minority that have rated this place average or below. It was ok, I had big expectations as i had walked past here numerous times and I really liked the idea of it... Local understated authentic Greek restaurant serving good food at a good price with a set menu. Felt like could be a real experience, slightly eccentric with one guy, probably owner, managing the whole place with occasional banter to customers. However I'm afraid that the food was slightly underwhelming, the mezze platter wasn't great and the main of chicken pork and lamb was better but the pork was tough. The accompanying salad was the highlight for me, really fresh and tasty but on the whole I just felt it wasn't anything special and was slightly disappointed. Then came the bill which ended up being much more than expected. We had a couple drinks each additional but the bill was massive for two people on a set menu of £11.50 each. I just thought it was overpriced and actually pretty bad and I was more than ready to give this place the benefit of the doubt. I am afraid I wouldn't go here again but I am going to get my Greek mate to go and give me his verdict as still curious as to the outstanding reviews listed here. I don't get it personally

Just been to Sappho where we had the meze platter - a really enjoyable meal with 3 courses of small plates. Really lovely food, service was very good with a great host, will definitely go back!

First time with friends and thoroughly enjoyed myself. The food is fresh, honest and Greek. Some people reviews make me laugh - what do they expect for the set price menu of £11.50?!?! It's a great sharing plates experience and varied across the 5 courses. No one in our group left hungry or out of pocket. I will most definitely be returning.

If I was walking down Clapham High Street and not been specifically looking for Sappho I would have easily walked past. It's small and keeps the treats inside a secret...I visited as part of a group of 8 people. There were a few nibbles on the table (olives, pickled carrots, peppers) while we waited for everyone to arrive and then the food started coming out. There wasn't a menu that I was aware of, just the question of whether you were ok eating meat, if there was anything you couldn't eat. The "starters" consisted of about 10 small dishes of dips (houmous, tzatziki, taramosalata,etc), beans, aubergine, mushrooms and more all servers with the most delicious warm and crusty bread to dunk in everything.The main course included chicken, lamb, rice, potatoes and the most amazing salad sort of thing (coriander, possibly cabbage, cucumber - if you know what it was called let me know!) and the meal was finished with a simple dish of Greek yogurt topped with honey.It's a really small restaurant - there were probably 30/40 chairs - and it was a little cramped and loud but it all added to the atmosphere. The kitchen is open so you could see what was going on (always a good sign!) and the server/cook/possibly the owner was welcoming and friendly. The food was seasoned to perfection and full of flavour.The only reason I didn't give this place a full 5 stars is because there were times the service was a little slow and it took a while for he cheque to come out. As far as I could see here were only two members of staff (the man who served and did some bits in the kitchen and a man who was solely on the kitchen) so can understand things being a bit slow.Would I return if I was in that neck of the woods? Most definitely!

I have been going to Sappho Meze for the past 5 years and absolutely love it! I take all my relatives and friends who visit me in the City. The food is always delicious, its a unique dining experience for people who love authentic Greek food. The owner is a very interesting character who adds to the dining experience.

2nd time at this mezzanine greek restaurant. Owner/waiter was friendly and was passionate about his food and talked about the health benefits. You had to listen carefully as his English was very poor. Had 5 courses but they were very tiny for 2 adults. Started with carrot sticks with green and black olives tin porion. Then spinach and chickpea soup which was OK. Then bread with several dips which was OK. Then pork lion and one potatoe small but ok, then fatty lamb very fatty with a nice green salad with rice. To finish a very tiny potion of honey and Greek to finish for two. Okay value if you have a small stomach.

A low key and simple eatery near Clapham Nth Station. We went for the Meze as that seemed to be the speciality. We were not disappointed. The food was very tasty and plentiful. You won't leave hungry. The patron was a characterful individual who was interested to know that we'd enjoyed our meal. We'd definitely visit again if we were in the area and in need of a meal.

I visit here at least once a month when I can.It's the kind of place you only hear about from others who are in the know.Amazing value and great quality for what you pay - all home made food too! The house wine is also really good.Love that the owner comes out to tell you the health benefits of the different food.

The food was amazing, real Greek dishes very well cooked.This is a really good restaurant, excellent value for money, perfect for friends or family.If you are looking with a restaurant with WOW factor, this is not the place for you.If you are after genuine Greek food and don't mind the spartan atmosphere, you won't be disappointed.

We went to Sappho Meze Bar one evening of our trip in London, since it was close to the placed we stayed at and the TripAdvisor's rating was excellent. We were greeted by the owner and were asked about our tastes in food. The owner was pleased with the fact we came from Israel, as it served Mediterranean food which we are familiar with. We both went for a full meal and drinks.For starters, Meze is served, which are basically greek variation of Tapas. Each Meze was great by itself and altogether with others, we nearly got full just from the starters!For the main course, a lamb with rice was served and grilled chicken in oregano. The owner told us it would be the best chicken we ever had - he was not wrong! Both dishes were delicious and big. It was a shame to leave such good food as we were full so we took away what was left with us. By that late hour we were alone with the owner and had little chat with him. He was very nice and kind and did payed attention throughout the whole meal, whether it was salad with and without coriander for me and my wife, or any other request we had. It might be not as cheap as I expected, but then again the meals were huge and the table was full of food, so it is priced very well.I would definitely come back to this place in my next visit to London, if I'd be around that area

This restaurant is such a hidden gem, the food is amazing and the service makes you feel right at home. I've been here a few times and always take friends to eat as the food never disappoints and it's so reasonable! Anywhere that sells mythos beer is always a winner for me!

Enjoyed everything about it, simple and tasty food. If I lived nearby I'd be in every week. 4 courses, fixed price, felt like eating with a greek family.

This place is an absolute gem. Myself and my girlfriend visited for the second time yesterday and once again, it did not disappoint. The food is really good, it comes in large portions and best of it, it's really cheap! £11.50 for the whole mezze (pastry, olives, carrots, soup, loads of dips and bread followed by amazing meat dishes with salads, rice and potatoes) is incredible value. It feels like the Greek uncle you never had is cooking for you! Absolutely lovely little place and the gentleman serving and cooking is an absolute delight. They also have vegetarian and vegan mezzes available for the same price. 10/10.

We affectionally refer to this restaurant as "The Greek" and I cannot recommend it highly enough. You select a meat (best option), veg or vegan set menu and a medley of authentic Greek food is delivered to your table. I recommend you arrive hungry and go on a week night as the owner/chef will also serve you. Get him chatting and i promise he has more wisdom than a Greek God! I am an incredibly fussy and judgemental diner - to be honest my best friend thought i would turn my nose up the first time she took me here for the lack of white table cloths.This place does not look like much from the outside but the kitchen is immaculate and the owner is so passionate about Greek products and his food. I am so excited about going back tonight!Georgia

I’ve previously ordered from this restaurant and found the food fantastic. However for some reason I’ve found the portions were far from acceptable. My CHICKEN GYROS PITA consisted of a few small pieces of chicken three chips. The sauces I requested were minimal and were lost in the Pitta wrap. I was extremely disappointed with what I received and will look to order elsewhere.

Not recommended, I need to write a 100 words to review this place, we thought a Greek food experience would be worth it but we should of checked the reviews before.
