Fantastic.
We had the meze and it was superb - the (not so) little plates kept coming with treat after treat.
The roast cauliflower was especially delicious.
The meze for 2 was extremely filling and gave a good sample of many differnt things.
I had heard this restaurant was ‘really nice’, I dined here this week with my family and as fellow Greeks we are disappointed with our experience.
The food is ok (overcooked to be honest) and it is WAY overpriced! £17 for chicken souvlakia (gyros not on the menu but they don’t mention this until you’re there). It doesn’t come with chips or salad. They claim is comes with salad - you get 1/4 slice tomato, 2 thin rings of onion and 2 slices of cucumber sliced into quarters. We actually asked ‘where is the salad?’ and we were told that was it..I’m sure they knew that’s not a salad, anyone who has been to Greece or Cyprus would know this isn’t how we give salad!!
Moving on..if there are 8 people on the table and you serve two tiny portions of pitta bread that is cut in quarters so not even forming a whole pitta - that is. Or enough. You size the portion according to how many people are eating and you certainly don’t charge extra for more bread (they did and Nissi doesn’t do this).
Our total bill was over £200 and it was not worth it at all, we only booked here because Nissi is now closed on Tuesdays and thought let’s try somewhere new instead of Deserie - a mistake. It also shouldn’t be £4.50 for a Coke Zero!
Service was ok, a tad slow considering we were the only people in their dining. Overall whoever is reading this, don’t bother, I wouldn’t go back. Go to Nissi, they have a much bigger menu, friendlier staff, better atmosphere and much better value for money!
Oh and also, they tried to mark my reservation on open table as a ‘no show’ because I left a review…I have my receipt so don’t try that!
I was too early for lunch but they readily agreed I could chose from the lunch menu. I ordered the steak sandwich was was absolutely excellent.
The food is correctly priced and consistently good, the biggest bonus is the staff, they are all friendly and truly fantastic
I will keep going
All aspects great - location and atmosphere with attentive service etc with exception of the rump steak with gristle not the best i've had and for the price, somewhat underwhelmed. With customers else i'd have returned the dish.
The place is busy so there’s a small wait for a table and they have time limits on tables to ensure everyone gets served which is fair. The food is gorgeous both in taste and presentation. The hot drinks were delicious. The meals were well priced given the location and ingredients. The service was good. I’ll try and visit again next time I’m in London!
Ambiance: it’s a basic modern fit out with not much of a theme to decor.
Service: family run and excellent friendly service always.
Food: good true Italian recipes with a high quality of ingredients that gives some great results at reasonable prices.

Reliable super-tasty fresh Indian food. Good vegi options (though - please label more clearly). First went here when it was in Brockley (sister branch remains there); still good on expansion; have ordered many times from both.
Great bar with a fantastic atmosphere, some of the best cocktails made with great skill and at a very fair price… staff friendly with good knowledge…
