My wife and I had lunch here and we like the location. The smell from the kitchen was amazing but The food was just good not extraordinary (a bit on the sour side). The patio is very enjoyable in a sunny day and the staff is extremely friendly. It’s leaning a bit on the pricy side.
Very good greek restaurant in east London! The food was tasty, the interior design is very modern and casual and the staff is very friendly :) good value for money as well. Outdoor seating provided for the summery hot days. The restaurant is located nearby Spitalfield Market (5 min walking max) so you can enjoy a walk around the market and then treat yourself with some traditional greek food! The place is recommended for sure :)
Fabulous Greek restaurant just around the corner from the ibis. Excellent choice of dishes and the food was superb. Staff were very friendly and i can't wait to come back to try more dishes next time we're in town

Having been unable to go on our Greek holiday this year we were definitely in need of a Greek food fix. With that in mind it was time to pay our first visit to the Hungry Donkey which is just a five minute walk from Liverpool Street station and only a couple of minutes from the popular spitalfields area. As our Saturday's are quite booked up it was also great to see that this restaurant was open on a Sunday so off we went. We actually arrived quite early but this wasn't a problem as we were given a warm and friendly welcome. With our masks on and our hands sanitized we were then shown to our table. We started with two fabulous Greek cocktails while we looked at the menu that really had a fantastic selection of greek dishes from hot & cold mezedes , souvlaki , smashing plates , souvlaki plates , salads , sides & desserts. It was also nice to see that all the wines were greek as well as the cocktails and digestifs.
We decided to start with a selection of three dishes from the hot mezedes section. They were the Papoutsakia ( roasted aubergine , tomato , onion sauce & feta cheese ) , Revithokeftedes ( greek falafel topped with tahini & sesame seeds ) & Spanakopita ( filo pastry filled with spinach & feta cheese ) This was a great way to start as each dish was delicious.
Now it was time to order our mains to which we chose first the restaurants specialty Lamb Kleftiko ( lamb shanks , peppers , potatoes , graviera cheese ) we also decided to have the Kid Goat Soutzoukakia ( meatballs , brown & wild rice , graviera cheese ). We accompanied these dishes with a greek salad and some hand cut feta chips. Everything was perfectly cooked and the flavours were amazing. To go with our mains we enjoyed two fabulous glasses of greek wine.
After a little rest it was time for desserts where we opted for the Kormos ( sliced cocoa loaf with berries & strawberry syrup ) and the Bougatsa ( warm custard filo pie with cinnamon and drizzled with icing sugar and more cinnamon ). I accompanied the bougatsa with a homemade Rakomelo which was boiled tsipouro , honey , cloves & cinnamon. This little cocktail was one I fell in love with straight away and was a perfect pairing with these amazing desserts.
We finished with a coffee and a complimentary glass of mastiha to round of a truly fantastic greek feast. The food was amazing and quite different in style to other greek restaurants. The service was friendly and also felt the staff were very knowledgable about all the food and drink as well. I would highly recommend a visit especially if your a lover of greek food and I definitely can't wait to return again myself.
Efharisto and look forward to seeing you all again soon
Great Greek food with cozy atmosphere, the portions are really big as well. The location is good as it’s only a few minutes from the tube station. The beer was cold and tasty! The staff was very friendly and helpful. They also have a nice outdoor area.
It is a lovely place to stay, tho the price is a bit higher than others. But the food is perfectly cooked also fresh. Recommend to order a starter and a plate with drinks.
The closest to the authentic Greek cuisine I have found 5 years in the UK. Delicious food, friendly and polite staff. Not 5* as it’s quite pricey. 2 adults + 1 kid we paid £77. Other than that, greatly recommended.
Authentic Greek food with really generous portions. Friendly service as well. We enjoyed everything we tried.
Greek restaurant, they offer food to go as well. I had a chicken souvlaki and it was really tasty, but a bit overpriced. The restaurant is cute and the decoration really makes you think of the Mediterranean landscapes.
Quite possibly the best food we've had in a while. Incredible, fresh food, complimentary starter and dessert treat, lovely ambience.
