Got takeaway (rang to order). 6x chicken gyros wraps with halloumi and 2 portions of spinach pies, ridiculously cheap she must’ve charged us wrong (£40 but we gave £45) - the gyros was great and the spinach pies were a must order!

First visit here, lovely welcoming restaurant. Food was delicious and very authentic. Great atmosphere, reminded us of being back in Greece.

Absolutely beautiful food
The lunch time wraps are £5.50, you’ll be absolutely stuffed as there’s no way you can leave anything on the plate it’s that delicious. Lovely service from waitress.
Food is authentic Greek
Never had a better wrap in my life and I love food.

The dips were wonderful as we shared a mix of dips as starters. My main was a rich thick tasty stew which can be had with either rice or chips. If I had realised that it came without vegetables I'd have ordered a salad as a side. Other mains were tasty too! None of us could fit in a desert so can't comment on those.
Reason for 3 stars for atmosphere is we were the only diners and there was a constant stream of drivers in and out for takeaway.

Me and my parents dined here last week and we loved the food! The atmosphere is that of a family run restaurant which is lovely. We shared three starters and the Mixed grill which left us feeling super full. Everything tasted fresh and delicious.

Top place! Deserves 5 stars. From the outside looks small, but it's a nice sized place with plenty of tables, cosy feeling, and amazing friendly staff. The food cooked fresh and tasted lovely, with short wait times. Definitely recommend the food, I personally had the meatballs with half rice and half chips!

Booked this for a 50th birthday celebration for someone who loves all things Greek. Restaurant is quite small but adequate and there is a car park opposite which is great.
Staff were lovely and friendly.
The one downside is there is no children's menu (or smaller portion option). The few items on the menu my 4yr old may have eaten were unfortunately not available.
Food was tasty and fresh. I'd highly recommend the Athenian Feta to start, it's so nice! The Halloumi was also lovely and a generous portion! I was expecting my main meal of gyros to be an actual wrap however it's a plate of meat and chips with pitta and dip on the side.
One party member ordered the mousaka (their favourite Greek dish) as their main however they said it had a very strong aniseed taste which they was not keen.
I'd recommend a visit and probably pre-book a table due to the restaurant size. We live 40mins away otherwise I'd try the takeaway option to!

My husband and I had such a lovely meal last night xx The cheese pie starter was beautiful, the lamb chops and the kleftico were amazing. We were so full we didn't order desert, but the owner kindly gave us some little cheese pastries in honey to finish off the meal, and they were gorgeous. Such a lovely evening, will definitely be going again.
