    Convenient location for a pre-theatre dinner. Been several times before and food always reliable and appreciated.

    Warm, freshly baked flatbread served with creamy hummus drizzled with olive oil and topped with herbs and spices.
    A multi-tiered dish featuring a sandwich with grilled meat, lettuce, and tomato in pita, crispy onion rings with lemon, and golden French fries.

    The good didn’t remind anything from Greece. The fries were fried with very old oil . The meat wasn’t good , high prices for average food

    Starter and 2 mains arrived at the same time. Uncomfortable seating, I am gluten free and found the food very bland especially the rice, was disappointed in the overall experience

    Food was great. Service let it down, people served before we did even though we got there quite a bit before them. I wouldn’t rush back.

    Braised chicken in a rich tomato sauce, garnished with crumbled feta and green onions, served with sautéed potatoes and a refreshing salad of cucumbers, tomatoes, and olives.
    Moist cake with a golden-brown crust, topped with creamy vanilla ice cream, a fresh orange slice, and a dusting of powdered sugar.

    Food was nice however the restaurant was very cold , the entrance door was left open and we had to keep shutting it ourselves.

    Really enjoyed the whole experience, the food was very good ( no complaints) the members of staff were friendly and helpful. We were 2 couple meeting up after not seeing each other for 2 years. We were not harried or hurried. Lovely afternoon. We would definitely be back.

    The food was cold and undercooked. The Greek salad we were served was old and smelled awful so had to be returned. Service was really good and the setting is pleasant.

    Food was mediocre. Nothing tasted fresh, and everything needed seasoned. The best thing was the pita. The Portokalopita was particularly bad, very dry with no orange flavour. The gigandes were tasteless. There are many much better places to get Greek food in Edinburgh. I won't be back.

    Clear broth soup with tender chicken, diced vegetables, and fresh cilantro, seasoned with black pepper for a comforting and nourishing meal.

    9.5/10

    The food was lovely and starters came out very quick, then when we ordered the mains there was a mix up with tickets and they were missed so this caused a delay. However they did arrive quickly once this was highlighted. They did remove the service charge from the bill to compensate for this mistake. The restaurant was quite busy and the poor staff did have to deal with a family that were letting their children run about playing. I did feel for them. Overall though food was lovely and it was a nice venue to catch up with friends. Would definitely go back.

    A selection of dishes including grilled meat skewers with lemon, seafood skewers drizzled with sauce, a hearty spicy stew with fresh herbs, and a seasoned meat wrap with creamy sauce, offering a diverse and flavorful dining experience.

    Service was super speedy (almost too speedy!) we had sat, ordered and ate within 27mins of arriving and sometimes that is great but made for a very quick date night. We then waited 25mins for the bill and another 15mins to pay which seemed a bit strange since we felt like they hurried us to begin with!! Absolutely delicious food as usual.

    The staff were friendly but service was very slow. The food was just ok - nothing special and the chips were on the cold side. Felt overpriced.

    Fantastic meal with a Groupon voucher. Very tasty with lots of choices. Open kitchen style setting. Would return without a voucher. Friendly servers. Good to know there are other Real Greek restaurants elsewhere too.
