Food was ok, some dishes required a bit more seasoning -the chicken thighs in particular, the meatballs were better. Been to one of these previously and enjoyed the food more, not sure if it was just me.

Excellent food and portion size, with 50% The Fork Festival - fantastic restaurant decor and great vibe, with food coming out promptly. All other staff and service was pretty poor though - clearly did not read the booking so ignored dietary indication and had to ask for promotion off bill multiple times. Very slow with the bill, with multiple chasers despite at that time not busy. No welcome on arrival and never came round to ask for more drinks/food.

Service is so slow (and a little unfriendly) and the food is massively overpriced. It’s my least favourite lunch place in the city. I would rather get the food from outside the restaurant in a box and go and eat it at my desk as this is very well priced.

Food was uneven. Of our cold mezzes the fava bean dip was great. The cold aubergine dip was okay but nowhere as good as at Mangal 1 in Dalston where we measure all aubergine dips against. Flat breads for the dips were nice. Of the warm mezze the bulghur pialaf was unpleasant, too wet, and tasteless. Chicken wings were flaccid having been cooked with moist heat, then charred. Lamb skewer was tough and sinewy. The best of the our warm mezzes was the coleslaw underneath the lamb skewer.

Great staff who were very polite and friendly, even though it was incredibly busy. We were sat by the entrance so there was a cold breeze every time someone came in or out of the door but that was the only issue we had.

Nice ambience and friendly waiters but initial service a bit slow. The food was just ok, nothing special. The price was good after the 50% discount from the fork but even so, because of the food quality/taste, I won't be back.

We had a good dining experience. The food overall was good and the service friendly and efficient. The only downside part were the lamb skewers. It was made of pieces full of nerves and very difficoult to eat. We ordered another one but was the same. Definitely a point to which the management need to look into and improve.

Friendly and nice service and delicious food, but OMG inside was deafeningly noisy, so we had to move to the tables outside.

The food was good and excellent value for money but restaurant was let down by the service. We had to ask for a second round of drinks the dessert menu and then had to ask again for our dessert order to be taken. After asking for the bill we had a long wait before they came with the card machine.

I love Greek food. But there’s nothing Greek about the food here. At all. Undressed Greek salad? A meagre single skewer of grilled Ckicken that’s meant to be Greek in any shape or form. The wine is great. Well priced and authentically Greek. The food is just not Greek. It’s like a beginner’s class in cooking. Sorry. It’s so unGreek. I won’t be back.

We arrived at 6.15pm and were served quickly and efficiently. However, after our main courses were cleared at around 7.15pm no one came back to our table to offer desserts, coffee or further drinks. We made several attempts to get menus brought over but nothing materialised. I went over to the supervisor at 9.15pm to express concern about this, and he dismissed my feedback rather rudely and didn’t do anything to resolve the situation. Very poor customer care - no apology, no acknowledgment of the poor service we had received. Real shame as the food was lovely, but I doubt we’ll go back to this particular restaurant again.

One of the better branches of the real greek. Restaurant is usually relatively quiet , service is good and all staff are friendly. Good choice of food and set menus, and the hot food is served hot rather than lukewarm or undercooked.
