You know there's Greek food and then there's Cypriot Greek food, and let me tell you, the latter is…read morethe absolute one. This spot is authentic. And the best part? It's just a stroll away from my place (not that it matters to you). The starters are great - you've got the choice of cold or warm mezes, calamari, dolmas, all the usual suspects for a Greek place. When it comes to the mains, I highly recommend the sheftalias and pork kebab (sorry Kosher and Halal gang), or go for the mixed grill if you can't decide. They even do really nice fish dishes as well, seabass and salmon are worth a mention. And don't forget to grab some chips - they use the proper Cypriot potatoes. Weekdays are usually quiet, but on weekends it can get busy so it's worth booking ahead. The service is alright, nothing special - but hey, it's Greek, what do you expect? As for parking, it's not amazing - there's a tiny lot across the street and you can park at Cockfosters station.

If you want authentic Greek food, then this place is an excellent choice. The Meze is good, where…read moreyou get a selection of small plates to share, and includes everything from olives and hummus to kebabs and sheftalia. Their fish courses are very good too, and I can particularly recommend the charcoal grilled octopus - delicious with a feta salad and lots of lemon juice. Portions are big and you won't leave hungry. If you are going with a big group it's best to call ahead and make reservations especially on the weekend. The downside to this place is that it is small and when it is busy, it can feel a bit claustrophobic, and it's loud so it's difficult to have a good conversation. The decor is not my taste, I think it would benefit from looking a little more Mediterranean, but otherwise can't complain.

We had the hot mezze to start, this included calamari (not rubbery, really really good) halloumi cheese, them pastry things with cheese and spinach, falafel, and Turkish sausage. over all it was really good. The bread was really good too. For main we shared a platter with lamb Shish, chicken Shish, lamb chops and chicken wings. This was very good too.

I dined there with the owner's son not too long before it shut down. The food was great but it just wasn't bringing in the crowds, probably due to the dated décor. The new owner of the restaurant didn't just rename is Kouzina, they really have made it top class, they re-decorated and nowadays this restaurant can be seen packed throughout the day till closing time, as it also has a takeaway service. Me and my family dined at Kouzina recently. We had a meze so we could sample everything and the food was fantastic which cost us £18.75 each, a real bargain. The fish was fantastic, especially the king prawns. The Sheftalia (a traditional Greek Cypriot dish, a type of crépinette, a sausage without skin), were amazing and succulent. Every dish came on a lush rectangular plate, and the service was terrific. It looks great and everything tastes great. Being in Palmers Green, a very Greek area with plenty of competition, it has done brilliantly in its first year.

Beech 2-4 seater tables, dark stone floors and pink lights against a white mirrored wall to the left. It feels more like a bar than a typical Greek - which is quite refreshing. After reading previous reviews I was looking forward to the food. I went for the take out option. The portions were a lot smaller than expected - quite average. I've used a few local Greek take out services and was quite surprised at the lack of salad provided with their meals - lots of chips though. Unfortunately, the food was good but didn't entice me, and with the nearby competition, I'd probably drive a further 5 mins for an alternative option.

I tried to leave yet he wanted to go here as he imagined there would be no where else to go. I the chairs and tables are so tightly compact I could barely move in my chair. The smell of beer was so poignant. We ordered an array of starters the worst being grilled kalamari, I don't know how they could of cooked it with so little taste. It was like rubber. When I ordered my steak to begin with I thought how it was near impossible to ruin a rare cooked steak. They did it, it came out medium with a small amount of pink. The sides were what I enjoyed the most, shop brought humous and bread. I left in disgust, and I urge Yelp to make 0 stars possible.
