arrived for a pre-booked table on Monday, only to discover the doors locked, tables removed and 2 people in the back emptying the kitchens, called the same number I booked on to see if they were perhaps renovating and we should have been upstairs and found the phone wasn't connected. rather disappointing as the place had been recommended so we had booked as part of our trip to the area.

Absolutely amazing place. Great food, beautiful decor and very good service by all the staff. We went there for my brother's birthday and we were not disappointed! My only suggestion is that you go there hungry as the portions are generous and it is so tasty that'll want to try it all. Also if you like slightly sweeter wines then you won't be disappointed with their Greek sparking wine. Enjoy!

We have been in the place with my family this eve. Despite the incredible lack of employees in the industry, the exorbitant cost of purchasing, and the distance from wholesale, this local restaurant does its job very well and extreamly properly. Concept, quality of food and service was perfect. Thank you very much Syrtaki!

Really wanted to like this place as I love Greek food. However, the vegetarian moussaka was a huge disappointment filled with frozen mixed veg from Iceland and nothing at all resembling food I've had many times in Greece. I felt sorry for the waitress who kept having to deliver bad news-the wine we ordered wasn't in stock, there was no octopus, souvla or even veg! Maybe because they'd chopped it all into small cubes for the moussaka, I don't know. Sweet waiting staff but the restaurant generally lacked atmosphere downstairs. Upstairs however, there seemed to be a full on rave. It seemed very expensive for mediocre food. Won't be returning.

We ordered every starter I think and a number of iced coffees. Flavours were perfectly balanced and the dishes were sooo tasty. Atmosphere was lovely and relaxed on a hot day. We had an impromptu family get together and sat out the front along with my dog tucked to the side. The waiter was attentive, accommodating and easy to speak to. Would recommend 👍

Many of our first choices were unavailable, including Retsina wine, octopus, souvla and anything that came with seasonal vegetables. So we were mainly eating second choices. The veggie moussaka was made up with a bag of diced mixed veg (peas, carrots and corn) and contained no aubergine - it was easily the worst we've ever experienced and nothing like we've eaten in many parts of Greece. And the calamari portion was very small. The lighting was very bright and there was a party upstairs in the restaurant's first floor room that was so loud it totally dominated the atmosphere on the ground floor. Overall, pretty poor. That said, the chargrilled sea bream was absolutely delicious and perfectly cooked and the waiting staff were very friendly and attentive.

I've been wanting to visit Syrtaki for ages and finally made it down this week. Have to say I was really disappointed. My husband and I are both vegetarian but we were told upon arrival that one of the two veggie mains (which we both had our hearts set on) was unavailable. We asked if they could put together a veggie meze plate for us instead but the waitress said no so we ended up spending a small fortune on a mix of hot and cold starters - which is essentially a meze. Granted, they were all really nice but based on our experience, we won't be going back. Surely we can't be the only vegetarians to visit or to ask for a meat-free meze?!

We had a reservation for 7.30pm on a Saturday which was booked weeks before as it was a birthday celebration. We have eaten at this restaurant a couple times before and really enjoyed the food but the couple we were with had not so we had recommended it. The main course that is served only at weekends was already sold out which was disappointing but ok that’s one of those things but everything went downhill from there. We did ask to have a drink prior to ordering which is pretty normal but we didn’t get any food until c9pm a good hour after ordering! There was one waiter doing his best but clearly a party going on upstairs which was taking priority over us. We were also led to believe that this group were not expected! Given the fact that we had booked weeks in advance, there was no excuse for such poor service which completely ruined our evening. I wrote to the restaurant to give them the opportunity to respond but they failed to even acknowledge my e-mail - I guess that says a lot! Needless to say, we will never recommend or return to this restaurant.

Went for dinner last night, 16 December. Expected it to be festive and buzzing on a Friday night before Christmas. Sadly, the complete opposite was the case. It was empty, just a few tables with couples throughout the 2 hours we were there. It was cold and overly bright, it was like eating in a canteen. Or a service station, as commented by my dining companion. They don't serve cocktails, no decent wine, mostly all served by the bottle and the only white wine available by the glass was sharp and not very pleasant. However, the food was OK, albeit mine was not very hot. The young girls serving were pleasant enough. We ate and couldn't wait to get out of there. I had previously been here before on a Saturday night in March 2022. A completely different experience then, live music, busy, dancing. I don't know if it has recently changed hands but it certainly needs to make some changes to make it warm and welcoming. Will not be returning.

Our visit was incredible because of the company we were in. Waiter was nice but VERY slow service due to a party they had upstairs. Sat down at 9 but didn't leave until past 11. Ordered the Meze and was disappointed with the lack of quality in some dishes and the quantity of the entire meal. Being Greek, I know what is expected from a GOOD mezethes but this was a let down. Price was reasonable but had better elsewhere.

I have previously left a positive review of this restaurant. But, my last visit wasn't so enjoyable. The dolmades are listed under the heading of 'cold starters'. They arrived warmer than the pittas. When I asked the waitress why these are listed as a cold starter, she simply said, "why would I serve cold rice". My Kleftico was hard in places and impossible to chew. I mentioned this to the waitress who said, "oh, we never get complaints about our Kleftico, I'll let the chef know". At no point was I offered an apology. The bill arrived and we had been charged for items we had not ordered. The bill was changed to the correct amount. But, again, no apology. I would add that my wife's Moussaka was lovely. But, I can't see us going back there as it put a bit of a dampener on our wedding anniversary evening.

Wow! As per usual, I am so impressed with this place! I have been coming here for years now and it never disappoints. I had the kleftiko as always and it was cooked to perfection! It was so tender and juicy with really earthy flavours. My friend tried the mixed souvla and she said it tasted so tender, fell straight off the bone and had amazing flavours. The staff were so efficient and friendly, they always have a smile on their faces and are always willing to help anytime anyday. It’s a shame another couple in the restaurant were being so rude and disrespectful to all the staff in the restaurant including the chef as I’ve known the staff for years and this is the reason I’ve decided to write a review after all these years because the restaurant is a hidden gem!!!!! Keep it up, Syrtaki!!!! 😁😁😁😁😁

Providing recommendations too. I went for a work dinner, and the restaurant was welcoming and accommodating. The only thing was the wait for food, I think because we were a big group. The waiting staff, although lovely are maybe slightly inexperienced. With many plates/glasses being dropped through the evening. All in all, an enjoyable evening and I would definitely go back.

Unfortunately I would not recommend this place as good Greek restaurant - couple of reasons: - we have been waiting 40 min for the main dish - we didn't order any starters, only drinks, but restaurant was not busy, only two tables were also occupied. - "lemonada" drink wasn't proper lemonade but Sprite from bottle - we ordered 2 dishes - Grilled Octopus with fresh vegetables and Sea Bream with the same vegetables. Vegetables weren't fresh, but frozen (unfrozen in microwave). Octopus was almost unedited as it was marinated in vinegar so much and so long, too sour. Fish was good. We also ordered Greek Village Salad - only 2 good ingredients were olives and feta cheese. Whole restaurant was filled by grill smoke and as a consequence of this, in the middle of our dinner, fire alarm went off - no proper ventilation in this restaurant. A big disappointment as we expected a much more.

The moussaka wasn’t good or an original recipe it had mince with loads of random vegetables in it like peas not remotely authentic. I ordered a take away that they didn’t give me I got home and it was missing. Disappointed as we liked this place before. Food was also served cold and pitta bread was stale.

One of the worst experience ever. Our starters arrived and I realized our bread was sitting on the counter and they didn't give us a spoon for one of the starters. We called one of the waitress over and she saw the bread and quickly went to get it and we had to ask for a spoon. We waited more than 40mins for our main course which I had to call the waitress over to see why it was taking so long, she looked shocked that we hadn't had it and quickly went to the open kitchen and spoke to one of the chef's. Once it was ready she brought our main over and didn't even apologize as we sat there looking at eachother for another 5-10mins the waitress looked over and realized we had no cutleries and again quickly got the other waitress to bring some over which she sort of heavily put it on the table without a apology, so very rude. One of the main was very disappointing and we spoke to the waitress and it was very difficult as she thought there was nothing wrong with it but hold on a minute your not the one eating this or who ordered it so you can't really be telling us! We refused to pay for it but they said we can have 20% off it but we said no we're not paying for something which wasn't eaten and looked awful, at the end she took it off the bill, but they had over charged us on the drinks, it was a total nightmare ! The rudeness was unbelievable, I eat out a lot and don't expect this sort of service. The waitress apologized at the end but it didn't make things any better, they were very lucky we didn't walk out without paying! We won't be returning. Unfortunately I have to give them a star otherwise I can't post this, so here's your one star!

I visited this restaurant a week ago with my sisters and we were served by Stavros. The ambiance was really good and food was really good. Stavros was welcoming and amazing with helping us make the right food choice. Will definitely come again. Thank you

We went last Friday night and was not disappointed!! Lovely Greek wine. The waitress explained dishes when I wasn't unsure what they were. I had chicken it was so tender, not at all dry with delicious sauté potatoes and veg. My husband had fish which...

We have eaten here a few times and always been good, however we had a table of 13 on Saturday evening for a family birthday and were seated upstairs, we had to wait 45min for dips and bread starter which was only enough for 5 people we asked 5 times for more which eventually took another 20 minutes, 2 hours in we still didn't have our main courses, when they eventually arrived they we all over cooked and dry. Awful service and experience for a birthday treat. It will be a very long time before we all return

Just reading these reviews. I did not write a review at the time as I hoped it was an isolated incidence, and nobody enjoys leaving a negative review in this climate. I see nobody has mentioned the smell inside the restaurant. As I walked in I wrinkled my nose at a smell that wafted over, I assumed it was a man placed near the front door. I was in a party of 4 adults/couples. We ordered drinks and the meze arrived ! it was a bowl of green dip and tiny triangles of cold hard pitta bread. Nobody said a word as this was a fun night. We ordered main course, I ordered the prawns !! in a sauce which read very appetising. Everybody was served and as an adult I said please start. People did slightly. Then came over again the terrible stench, I looked at the other female and we both mouthed " wind"....the males said no, its the drains. It was awful. I would say I waited a further 15 minutes for the prawn dish, the sauce was a dead ringer for a jar of Lloyd Grossman...by then we all started to speak about the food etc. The other lady got up to go to the toilet, was in there an age. I jumped up and went to the toilet as walking home. I can only say the contents of my stomach left my body, although not quite as as soon as I went to wash my hands, where I had flushed the toilet bowl was rising. I can laugh about it now. Then I had to sit again and my god I was in a state. Flushed again, and again it rose up. I did not say a word to friends until Christmas eve. As my husband and I started our walk I confided my story with " I need to go again" he said you cannot. I said I need to and I scoured alleys , bushes,,,,it was torture, He said, I will rush on, give me your bag, and off he shot. He flung he front door open and I made it. Hopefully the drains are fixed and the prawns are defrosted properly now. It seems so with all the great reviews. I do remember all the staff were attentive, and asked a few times how my meal was. And being typically British I said " fine". The truth as eating the food we all found it underwhelming.

I've visited this restaurant a few times with my sister for lunch, going for the 12.99 menu of starter and main. The service is excellent as is the food. Would recommend you give it a try.

My partner and I dined here for lunch and we will absolutely be returning in the near future. The free garlic bread and drink with our lunch was a nice touch. Hands down the nicest pizza, so fresh! The young lady who waited on us was so pleasant and helpful. This place is a great find.
