We took the kids for a quick lunch and it ticked all the boxes. The food was no frills, but fresh, tasty and cooked well. The lady serving us was friendly and very helpful.

Honestly, this was probably the worst Greek food experience that I’ve had. The food was absolutely terrible. I don’t want any money back, I don’t want any free food, if the management would like to contact me regarding the quality of food for some proper feedback they’re more than welcome to contact me directly and I’ll be happy to discuss it. Have lived in London for a significant chunk of my life and lived in areas of north London with a large selection of Greek/Cypriot food. This was definitely not Greek.

I use to order from here all the time when I lived in Leicester for 4 years. I can’t believe I never left a review. This place is so so so good. I crave the food from here all the time. Especially the pork gyro! The chips are well seasoned and it’s just the perfect meal.

I placed an order via Deliveroo. For a lamb rice box but I received pork instead. Literally cannot eat pork and I called the restaurant. To amicably resolve this, but they all but called me a liar. Even though had gotten other people to corroborate that it was indeed pork.

We were so looking forward to trying the breakfast menu as we have eaten/ordered from here several times from the main menu and have always had great food and selection. So today on a rare day off we decided to try breakfast out. We wish we hadn't bothered after taking a seat and being told they only had 2 eggs left !!! So only option was a small English breakfast,we decided to have this and add a couple of extra sides. We had 2 cappuccinos whilst waiting for breakfast. After a lengthy wait the food was served luke warm and when we asked for 2 more cappuccinos was told only enough milk for one!!!!! Very disappointed, will not be returning any time soon.

I was in Leicester for 1 evening on my way up North and was delighted to find this restaurant. I know and cook Greek food myself and was happily surprised by the quality of food. This is street food so the menu is simple with also vegetarian options. I ordered the lamb souvlaki on a plate. It was very tasty, well cooked, salad was fresh, the pitta was delicious and the fries were really good. All served freshly cooked. I didn't know what to expect but was impressed. I wish I had had more appetite to order a delicious looking traditional dessert. The service was really friendly and professional. It was very clean. Top treat: background authentic Greek music. Many thanks.

Great food large portions but very slow service we waited 40 minutes for the mains to arrive due to mainly two things a bit short staffed they worked hard but at least a body short mains were bought out but starters plates drink cans and bottles not yet cleared again they worked hard THE most obvious problem was deliveries clearly took priority over sit in customers with a constant in and out of scooter delivery drivers. We did enjoy our meal but not the best service we would however go back for more in the future

I would highly recommend this place they are on deliveroo which I used and from start to finish I knew where my order was and time of arrival. Spot on no complaints. If you fancy a Greek dinner this to me is the place to go in Leicester. 10/10

I ordered the lamb gyros and I can honestly say it was extremely tough and chewy, very disappointing after reading all the good reviews. The chips and bread were good but the lamb was not authentic greek . I have been to Athens so I know how it should taste. However after providing this feedback to the owner she basically agreed with me and told me to order the chicken next time.

I took my niece and nephew here for my nieces bday meal. Wait an hour and half for some overcooked mixed grill for 2. The meal was brought out bit by bit so we couldn’t eat it as a family as the kids were starving bless them. The staff seemed annoyed that we were getting restless but it’s two children. They said it would be 10 minutes after waiting at least 30 minutes and it was over 40. When we got inside we didn’t get given any menu’s but other were when they were seated. It was lunch time and I’d paid for 3 hours parking so by time it was done I had 50 minutes left so there wasn’t much time to spend together. Quite disappointing really as they really loved their last meal there.

Well I’m not much of a fan of Greek food but I love gyros and this place was the worst gyro I ever had . I order off Uber eats and thought I’d try the gyros the bread was tough and it was packed with onions two slices of tomato and few chips I had to chuck the bread away as it smelt of margarine and eat the meat with onions . If your looking for a good gyros there’s much better places in Leicester .

Clueless. Overpriced chicken kebab. We were drawn in from the outside as it actually looks a nice place to eat but unfortunately the quality was much the same as a normal greasy kebab house. Ordered two kofta’s with halloumi which was forgot from both our orders. And drinks took 10 minutes to be served. Refund was given after paying for a lamb dish to be told there was none available. Expect the bare minimum from this place.
