Beautiful setting in the heart of wonderful Edinburgh. The welcome and attention from staff was exceptional and made our evening. Helena in particular was first class. We sampled mousaka, spanakopita and aubergine iman and all were exceptional. A truly wonderful Greek cuisine experience. Thank you to all concerned. We shall be back.

This is the only patisserie in Edinburgh that I really like ! All the cakes are fabulous, both the owners of the place are friendly and professional, the shop is spotless and I can't really find anything negative! I really recommend this place if you want delicious cakes!!!

Greek lovers, we visited as a party of 6. Lovely welcome, beautiful decor, nice touches when the chef (Kostas) came over to say hello, wish me happy birthday and explain his philosophy for Kuzina. Nice touch, toasted bread with Cretan salt and olive oil. A big selection of wines, from reasonable up. Small menu, but that’s a good thing as it usually means everything is fresh - it is. Starters were good, grilled, charred artichokes with grated cheese and almond paste especially good. The spanakopita tartlet was on the small side, even for a starter. Excellent service, main giouvetsi was de-constructed, lovely large tasty lamb and gravy, but ordinary rice rather than orzo. Cod was beautifully cooked on a bed of spinach, but the very tasty meatballs could’ve done with rice or pasta, even garlic bread as the portion was small and pricey. A birthday candle in my dessert, nice touch. Lots to enjoy, just a few tweaks to the menu and portions would make this even better. Gia mmas and Exaristo poli!

Best cake I've had in Edinburgh. Really special stuff at excellent prices. Would recommend for a treat.

Great atmosphere! Great service! Amazing food!

Picked up a veggie panini for a hike to the Arthur’s seat. It was made fresh and so tasty! Was the perfect meal after the hike to enjoy with a view. Reasonable prices and lovely service!

Went for lunch early on a Sunday using a discount voucher. Place was dead, we were the only table. Service nice and attentive initially. We order food, some dishes were ok if too greasy (chorizo). The patatas bravas sauce is a watery mess that ruined perfectly good fried potatoes. The chicken wings were supremely bland. We also ordered some tzatziki and what ensued was one of the most bizarre experiences I have ever had in a restaurant… When we were 2/3 done with the tzatziki, my son noticed there was a hair popping out the untouched side of the plate. He proceeded to pull from it as kids do and we found a hair as long as my forearm had been there the whole time. Much to my son’s embarrassment, I asked him to place the hair back to where he found it, aka the tzatziki plate, and call the waiter to let him know. He asked if we would like another portion, and I said no thanks as we were getting ready for dessert and have to leave soon. Now, my tolerance to hair in food is probably higher to most people, but this was one big long hair that would put into question the hygiene practices of this restaurant. Upon finishing my dessert, I ask for the bill and to my surprise we had been charged full price for the “hairy tzatziki” in question, plus a not-so-discretionary service charge it seems. I get up to pay the bill and proceed to politely tell the two waiters that I am not impressed with the way this has been dealt with, and that it’s their choice to either remove the tzatziki or the service charge from the bill, but that I won’t be paying both. And this is where the fun starts…they proceed to tell me that the hair in question did not have any tzatziki on it and that they “don’t know where it came from”. I am now getting agitated and ask them if they are implying that we somehow “planted” a long hair in the cheapest dish that we ordered, which would have meant we deliberately brought it with us since none of us has long hair. Unbelievably they proceed to double down and continue arguing with me that they don’t have long hair either so it couldn’t be theirs (kitchen perhaps?), so after one of the most ridiculous back and forths of my life, and after I tell them I’m not paying for the optional service charge, they reluctantly remove the tzatziki in question from the bill. In retrospect I should have said at that point that I would not be paying for service anyway after the embarrassment and veiled accusations, but just covered the charge and left. To management, please send your employees to some basic hygiene and customer service training, if this is your standard of service and your staff feel they can insult customers on an empty restaurant, you may be in for a bit of a surprise or a visit from Gordon Ramsay soon…

9 of our family had a weekend in Edinburgh and were looking for a restaurant near to our hotel, we all like Greek so this was the obvious choice. Both the welcome and the food was fantastic, both in terms of quantity and also quantity.

Such a treat, walked past and our noses pulled us back, Super friendly service, amazing selection and out of this world pastries with authentic Greek coffee! All the clientele were Greek, sat out on the street and had the best time. Fully recommend, grab the banana and chocolate croissant and you will be transcended!

DO NOT WALK PAST THIS PLACE WITHOUT GOING IN!!!!! What a cracking little taproom. Light, airy, spotless and good old fashioned table service to boot. Love a wee cider on a night out and I got sold on the 3 flights of cider. All very different, but all bloody lovely. I had original apple, pineapple and cherry sour. Picking a favourite was tough but I think the Pineapple one edged it for me, which is very strange as I'm not a massive fan of sweet drinks but this one absolutely hit the spot. Apologies as I never got the young man's name but he had sacrificed time away to help out the family, not all hero's wear capes. The banter was brilliant. Already recommended this wee place onto our kids at uni, who are massive cider drinkers. We will definitely be back. Who knew you could do so much with cider.......

The waitress is really nice and the prices are honest

A really well presented restaurant with genuine Greek food. The staff is friendly, polite and prompt. There is a huge selection of either regular and vegetarian options to satisfy everyone (haven't checked for vegan specifically) I definitely recommend a visit if you are in the area
